Manually Drying Cycle (Mode)
a. Drying Time - programmable from 0 to 99 minutes in one-minute increments.
b. Cool Down Time - programmable from 0 to 99 minutes in one-minute increments.
c. Drying Temperature - programmable from 100º F to 200º F in one-degree increments or from 37º C to
93º C in one-degree increments.
C. AUTOMATIC DRYING CYCLE (MODE) (PATENT NO. 4,827,627)
In this mode, the Phase 6 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) determines how much drying time is
needed and compensates for various types of fabric and load sizes, ALL automatically. The Phase 6 OPL
microprocessor controller (computer) accomplishes this by calculating the dryness level (percentage of extraction)
using the temperature selected, as well as, the “A” and “B” factors preset by the factory.
The Phase 6 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) monitors the first three (3) heat peaks (slopes), at
which time it calculates the “A” Slope and “B” (heat loss) factors along with the percentage of extraction
selected. When the Phase 6 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) determines that ALL the factors are
met, the drying cycle will end, and the dryer will go into the cool down cycle.
Automatic Drying Cycle (Mode) (Patent No. 4,827,627) Selections:
1. Drying Temperature (fabric) - programmable from 160º to 200º F in one-degree increments or from 71º C
to 93º C in one-degree increments.
2. Dryness Level (percentage of extraction) - programmable from 90% (less dry) to 100% (more dry) in
one-percent increments.
3. Cool Down Time - programmable from 0 to 99 minutes in one-minute increments.
4. Cool Down Temperature - programmable from 70º F to 100º F in one-degree increments or from 20º C to
37º C in one-degree increments.
5. Factors (System Parameter Program Location 2 [Key “2”])
a. Factor “A” Slope Program - the Phase 6 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) monitors how long
it takes to get to the selected temperature.
1) Program selections are 1 through 9 in increments of one (1).
b. Factor “B” Heat Loss (offset) Program - this factor setting is dependent upon the model dryer and the
type of heating unit.
1) Program selections are 1 through 99 in increments of one (1).
