5.Hi-Limit Controller

The dryer utilizes six (6) channel controller (HLC-1) to monitor various locations on the dryer for over temperature faults. The hi-limit controller enables the dryer to continually monitor up to six (6) Resistive Temperature Devices (RTD's) at one time. Each channel is individual with set points. The hi-limit controller scans each channel, and in the event of an alarm, the scanning will halt (stop), and the Single-Pole-Double- Throw (SPDT) will change states signaling a fault. The hi-limit controller will remain in alarm until the reset button is pushed and the temperature has fallen below the set-point temperature. The scan rate can be adjusted from 4 to 12-seconds per channel.

Channel #1 is used to monitor the exhaust for an over temperature situation.

Channel #2 is used as an over burner monitor (for Gas Models Only).

Channel #3 is used to monitor intake temperature (for Gas Models Only).

The remaining channels are spares that can be used for future expansion. a. Hi-Limit Controller Replacement

1)Discontinue electrical service to the dryer.

2)Loosen the four (4) screws hold the hi-limit mounting bracket.

3)Slide the mounting bracket off of the screws through the keyhole.

4)Disconnect the plug going to the hi-limit controller.
