L. Motor Contactor (1Ø Motor)

L. Motor Contactor (1Ø Motor)

This motor contactor used on single phase dryers, is located in the rear of the machine, in the Electrical Panel Box. It's purpose is to transfer the higher voltage to the motor when the contactor coil voltage has been achieved. The contactor will have a filter ca- pacitor across the coil connections. This helps smooth out the 24 volt signal from the computer board.

M. Non-Reversing Contactor (3Ø Motor)

The non-reversing contactor is used on 3 phase non-reversing dryers and is located on the upper left hand side of the dryer (view from rear). It is through the contactor that the voltage inputs are fed. Its purpose is to transfer the higher voltage to the motor when the contactor coil voltage have been achieved. The contactor will have a filter capacitor across the coil connections. This helps smooth out the 24 volt signal from the computer board.

N. Hi-Limit Thermostat

The hi-limit thermostat is another safety device that we use on gas and electric models. The hi-limit is located in the burner or oven area. The hi-limit switch cuts off the heat if the temperature exceeds 330° for gas models. Under normal conditions the only way this device would shut off the heat is when the air flow changes to the extent of making the flame brush up against it.
