SECTION III OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS A. COIN MODE 1. When at least one (1) of the dryer’s pockets is in the ready state and no cycle is in progress, the liquid crystal display (L.C.D.) screen will display a ready prompt depending on the READY PROMPT option in PL #01. If the option is set to “READY, INSERT AMOUNT TO START” the display will read “READY, INSERT $XX.XX TO START.” If the READY PROMPT option in PL #01 is set to “READY” the display will read “READY”. If both pockets are idle, both sec

3. The dryer will continue through the drying and cooling cycles, until the drying time has expired. 4. In Free Mode, if more or less time is desired in a cycle press and hold either the “HI” key or “LO” key for 3-seconds. The control will now display the remaining time in the cycle. Pressing the “HI” key will increase the number of minutes remaining. Pressing the “LO” key will decrease the number of minutes remaining. Once the desired amount of time is reached, press the “MED” key

Pressing and holding the “MED” key will show the temperature readings from ALL of the probes that is equipped with the dryer. ALL dryers will have an exhaust probe, the exhaust probe reading is always the first temperature reading; if the exhaust probe is the only probe the dryer is equipped with, it will be the only temperature reading shown. If the dryer is also equipped with a thermistor probe, this will be the second reading shown. If the dryer is of an axial configuration and is equippe

G. CLEARING CREDIT/CLEARING CYCLE In Coin Mode, credit can be cleared from the Phase 7 dual microprocessor controller (DMC) computer by pressing and holding the “PAUSE” key while entering the following key combination: “HI-HI-HI-LO-LO- MED”. The combination is the “HI” key three (3) times followed by the “LO” key two (2) times and then the “MED” key one (1) time. Wait 1-second for the Phase 7 DMC (computer) to prompt the user with “CLEAR CREDIT?” If you want to proceed, simultaneously pr

NOTE: The following information is an explanation of the Sensor Activated Fire Extinguishing (S.A.F.E.) system functionality. This feature is programmed at the factory and affects dryers that are equipped with the S.A.F.E. system. K. S.A.F.E. SYSTEM While the dryer is in an idle state, or 20-seconds after the heat turns off, the Phase 7 dual microprocessor controller (DMC) computer monitors the S.A.F.E. temperature probe located in the top of the basket (tumbler) chamber and records the minimu

SECTION IV L.C.D. OPERATING MESSAGES The liquid crystal display (L.C.D.) informs the operator of cycle status and program verification and displays important diagnostic messages and fault information. A. COIN MODE When the dryer is idle and is in Ready Mode the Phase 7 dual microprocessor controller (DMC) computer will display: READY, INSERT $XX.XX TO START XX.XX represents the AMOUNT TO START defined in program memory location PL #06. If the AMOUNT TO START is less than $1.00, the Phase 7 DMC

To see the error fault, press “LO” , and the fault will be displayed. Refer to Section VIII for a complete list of faults and descriptions. If the dryer is paused, the Phase 7 dual microprocessor controller (DMC) computer will display: CYCLE PAUSED... B. FREE MODE If Phase 7 DMC (computer) is in Free Mode and is in a READY state, the Phase 7 DMC (computer) will display: SELECT TEMP TO START Likewise, if the dryer is equipped with a Sensor Activated Fire Extinguishing (S.A.F.E.) system and the
