ADC AD-200 SECTION IV

SECTION IV

Installation should be performed by competent technicians in accordance with local and state codes. In the

absence of these codes, the installation must conform to applicable American National Standards: ANSI Z223.1-

LATEST EDITION (National Fuel Gas Code) or ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-LATEST EDITION (National Electrical

Code) or in Canada, the installation must conform to applicable Canadian Standards: CAN/CGA-B149.1-M91

(Natural Gas) or CAN/CGA-B149.2-M91 (Liquid Propane [L.P.] Gas) or LATEST EDITION (for General

Installation and Gas Plumbing) or Canadian Electrical Codes Parts 1 & 2 CSA C22.1-1990 or LATEST EDITION

(for Electrical Connections).

NOTE: The following information is very brief and general. For detailed description, refer to the

AD-200 Phase 7 Non-Tilting Installation/Operator’s Manual (ADC Part No. 112142)

included with the dryer.

Bulkheads and partitions around the dryer should be made of noncombustible materials. Allowances should be

made for the opening and closing of the control door and lint door. Also, allowances should be made in the rear

for ease of maintenance. (Refer to the AD-200 Phase 7 Non-Tilting Installation/Operator’s Manual [ADC Part

No. 112142] for recommended distances and minimum allowances required.)

When the dryer is operating, it draws in room air, heats it, passes this air through the basket (tumbler), and

exhausts it out of the building. Therefore, the room air must be continually replenished from the outdoors. If the

make-up air is inadequate, drying time and drying efficiency will be adversely affected. Ignition problems and sail

switch ��fluttering” problems on gas dryers may result, and you could have premature motor failure from overheating.

The air supply must be given careful consideration to insure proper performance of each dryer.

IMPORTANT: Make-up air must be provided from a source free of dry cleaning fumes. Make-up

air that is contaminated by dry cleaning fumes will result in irreparable damage to

motors and other dryer components.

Exhaust ductwork should be designed and installed by a competent technician. Improperly sized ductwork will

create excessive back pressure which will result in slow drying, increased use of energy, and shutdown of the

burner by the airflow (sail) switch, burner hi-limit or lint chamber hi-heat protector thermostat. (Refer to the

AD-200 Phase 7 Non-Tilting Installation/Operator’s Manual [ADC Part No. 112142] for more details.)

CAUTION: IMPROPERLY SIZED OR INSTALLED EXHAUST DUCTWORK CAN

CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.
