American Dryer Corp ADG-464 manual 2CRB

The following information will first describe the sprinkler circuit components and then provide a circuit descrip- tion. Please refer to the ADG-464 ladder diagram (which is supplied with the machine) as the following is described.

SPRINKLER CIRCUIT COMPONENTS

•OL12 (overload #12) is a 1.6-amp magnetic and thermal overload device set 1-amp. Its function is to protect and the line voltage of the sprinkler circuit.

•T1 is a control transformer whose primary depends on the system line voltage (i.e., 208 VAC, 240 VAC, 380 VAC, 416 VAC, and 480 VAC). Refer to system’s nameplate. Its secondary is 110 volts AC.

•L3 is a “red” indicator installed on the electrical enclosure door. Its function is to indicate the presence of 110 VAC to the sprinkler system.

•Sprinkler High Limit Controller (SHLC) - Its function is to monitor a preset hi-limit temperature (which is currently set to 550º F [287.8º C]) and to control the activation of the “WATER SPRINKLER” circuit.

•SHLC’s (Sprinkler High Limit Controller’s) temperature information is derived from the RTD #4 (Resistive Temperature Device #4), a resistive sensor located on the top right hand side of the tumbler (basket) section. Its exact location is in proximity of the intake and hi-limit temperature probe.

IMPORTANT: An open RTD (Resistive Temperature Device) probe or disconnecting the probe under power will cause the sprinkler to active.

•ALL ADG-464 RTD (Resistive Temperature Device) probes are rated for 1,100º F (593.3º C).

•SHCL #2 (Sprinkler High Limit Controller #2) contacts (alarm and set point) are configured in the normally open state.

•#2CR (#2 control relay) and #3CR (#3 control relay) are relay coils that are energized in a logical manner for circuit control. The following are their associated relay contacts information.

RELAY	NORMALLY CLOSED	NORMALLY OPEN
	CONTACT S	RELAYS
2 C R	2CRB	2CR1
3 C R	3CRB	NOT USED

•S11 and S12 are the actual electrical solenoid connections that turn on or shut off the air actuated water valve. The electrical connections for S11 and S12 are located in the solenoid junction box in the burner section of the ADG-464

•S11 = Sprinkler ON

•S12 = Sprinkler OFF

IMPORTANT: For proper sprinkler and dryer operation, sprinkler must be powered by a “separate or dedicated” single-phase (1ø) multi-wire branch circuit at dryer’s nameplate voltage.
