SENSOR ACTIVATED FIRE EXTINGUISHING (S.A.F.E.) SYSTEM

S.A.F.E. SYSTEM IN ACTION

The exclusive Sensor Activated Fire Extinguishing (S.A.F.E.) System will extinguish fires that may start in the drying basket (tumbler). A series of sensors positioned throughout the basket (tumbler) and interfaced with the microprocessor will trigger the S.A.F.E. system water jet(s) to quickly extinguish the flames. The water jet(s) remain on for 2 minutes and will automatically activate again if a fire condition remains or reignites. While the water jet(s) are activated, the basket (tumbler) will jog to move the water throughout the load. The microprocessor will display that the system was activated and will continue to display until the dryer is attended to.

We have tried to make this manual as complete as possible and hope you will find it useful. ADC reserves the right to make changes from time to time, without notice or obligation, in prices, specifications, colors, and material, and to change or discontinue models.

BEFORE YOU START!

CHECK LOCAL CODES AND PERMITS

Call your local water company or the proper municipal authority for information regarding local codes.

IMPORTANT:

!It is your responsibility to have ALL plumbing connections made by a qualified professional to assure that the plumbing installation is adequate and conforms to local, state, and federal regulations or codes.

It is the installation or owners responsibility to see that the necessary or required water, water pressure, pipe size, or connections are provided. Manufacturer assumes no responsibility if the S.A.F.E. system is not connected, installed, or maintained properly.

INSTALLATION

Requirements

The S.A.F.E. system must be supplied with a minimum water pipe size of 1/2” and be provided with 40 psi +/- 20 psi (2.75 bar +/- 1.37 bar) of pressure. For use of optional manual bypass, a second source with the same piping and pressure requirements is required.

Flexible 1/2 feeds must be provided to avoid damage to electric water solenoid valve by vibration.

IMPORTANT:

!Flexible supply line/coupling must be used. Solenoid valve failure due to hard plumbing connections WILL VOID WARRANTY.

If the rear area of the dryer, or the water supply is located in an area where it will be exposed to cold/freezing temperatures, provisions must be made to protect these water lines from freezing.

WARNING:

!If the water in the supply line or water solenoid valve freezes, the S.A.F.E. system will be

INOPERATIVE!!

IMPORTANT:

Appliance is to be connected to the water mains using a new hose-set and the old hose-sets should not be reused.

Water Connections:

The water connection is made to the 3/4”-11.5 NH hose adapter of the electric water solenoid valve, located at the rear upper midsection of the dryer (refer to the photo).

The water solenoid valve has a 3/8” M.P.T. connection supplied with a 3/4”-11.5 NH hose adapter to provide the minimum 1/ 2-inch supply (feed) line. Flexible supply line/coupling must be used in an effort to avoid damaging the electric water solenoid valve.

NOTE:

!The 3/4”-11.5 NH is a standard hose coupling screw thread. It is not to be confused with 3/4” N.P.T. The sealing of an NH connection is made with a washer opposed to the mating threads of an N.P.T. assembly. The two (2) thread designs are not compatible.
