American Dryer Corp D3030 installation manual System Reset

Sensor Activated Fire Extinguishing (S.A.F.E.) System

Theory of Operation

While the dryer is in an idle state or 20-seconds after the heat turns off, the Phase 7 control monitors the S.A.F.E. system probe located in the top of the basket (tumbler) chamber and records the minimum temperature. If the minimum recorded S.A.F.E. system probe temperature is no less than 120° F (48° C) and the control detects a 50° rise in temperature, this will be the trip point and the S.A.F.E. system routine will activate.

While a drying cycle is in process and the heat has turned on at least once, the Phase 7 control monitors the exhaust temperature transducer. If the drying cycle temperature set point is set greater than 160° F (71° C) and the control detects an exhaust temperature rise 25° F greater than set point, this will be the trip point and the S.A.F.E. system routine will activate. If set point is below 160° F (71° C) the trip point will be 185° F (85° C).

Once the S.A.F.E. system routine is activated, water will be injected into the basket (tumbler) chamber. Anytime water is being injected into the basket (tumbler); the basket (tumbler) drive will turn the load for 1-second every 15-seconds. This process will continue for a minimum of 2 minutes. After 2 minutes has elapsed, the control will check if the temperature remained above trip point, if so water will remain on. The control will continue to check if temperature is above trip point every 30-seconds. If the water has been on for a constant 10 minutes, the water will be turned off regardless of the temperature. If the temperature has dropped below trip point, the control will turn off the water prior to 10 minutes.

SYSTEM RESET

After the microprocessor determines that the situation is under control and shuts the water being injected into the basket (tumbler) off, the microprocessor display will read “S.A.F.E. System activated,” and the horn/tone will sound until reset manually.

To reset the microprocessor once the control displays “S.A.F.E. System activated,” press the red key on the keyboard (touch pad).

NON-COIN S.A.F.E. SYSTEM CHECK PROCEDURE

The operation of the water solenoid valve can be tested to insure that the water supply system and valve are functional. Before attempting system check, be sure that ALL water supply shutoff valves to the dryer are in the OPEN position, and the dryer must be in the “READY” mode where no cycle is loaded or in progress.

The procedure is as follows:

1.Press and hold the RED STOP key (while in “READY” mode and no cycle in progress).

2.Press and hold the “A” key.

3.Water valve will open and water will be dispensed into basket (tumbler) area as long as both keys are held.

IMPORTANT: This is a test function only and the keys should be held and system activated for only a second or so, otherwise water will accumulate in various places in the dryer.
