Phase 6 OPL System Diagnostics ___IMPORTANT: You must disconnect and lockout the
electric supply and the gas supply or the steam supply
before any covers or guards are removed from the
machine to allow access for cleaning, adjusting,
installation, or testing of any equipment per OSHA
standards.
All major circuits, including door, microprocessor
temperature sensor, heat and motor circuits are monitored.
The Phase 6 OPL microprocessor controller (computer)
will inform the user, via the L.E.D. display of certain failure
codes, along with indicators both in L.E.D. display and at
the output of each relay (and door switch circuit) to easily
identify failures.
Diagnostic (L.E.D. Display) Failure Codes
SAIL SWITCH FAIL – This routine will prevent start up on
the machine unless the sail switch is in the correct position.
If the sail switch is closed prior to start up the display will
read “SAIL SWITCH FAIL” along with an audio indication.
No AIRFLOW – If the sail switch opens during cycle
operation the display will read “No AIRFLOW” along with
an audio indication. The machine will continue to run with
no heat for 3 minutes or until the temperature drops below
100º F (38º C). Upon failure the machine will shut down
and display “No AIRFLOW” with an audio indication.
bURNER SAFETY FAIL – Routine monitors the temperature
above the burner. If the burner hi-limit switch opens the
display will read “bURNER SAFETY FAIL.” The machine
will run with no heat for 3 minutes or until the temperature
drops below 100º F (38º C). Upon failure the machine will
shut down and display “bURNER SAFETY FAIL” with an
audio indication.
dRUM SAFETY FAIL – This routine monitors the tumbler
temperature if the tumbler hi-limit switch opens prior or
during the cycle while the heat was on the machine will
display “dRUM SAFETY FAIL.” The machine will continue
to run with no heat for 3 minutes or until the temperature
drops below 100º F (38º C). Upon failure the machine will
shut down and display “dRUM SAFETY FAIL” with an audio
indication.
No HEAT – This routine monitors the burner ignition. If the
burner misignites (does not light) the ignition module will
check to see of the microprocessor program has any retries
left. The standard retry count is 2. If the module notices
that there are retries left it will purge for 1 minute then try to
ignite the burner again. The ignition module will try this for
a total of 3 times or until there are no retries left. If the
burner does not ignite after 3 attempts the L.E.D. display
will display the error code “no heat” with an audio indication.
When this occurs the machine will run with no heat for 3
minutes or until the temperature drops below 100º F
(38º C).
IMPORTANT: For other countries, such as Australia, the
retry count may not apply due to local approvals.
