SECTION IV
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The Phase 6 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) allows the operator to choose from six (6) preprogrammed
cycles (Key “A” through Key “F”) which, unless otherwise specified at the time of ordering the dryer, has been
preprogrammed by the factory with the parameters (programs) shown on
page 51 and page 52. Additionally,
for occasional or one-time special loads, the manually loaded cycles can be used where the operator must set the
specific program(s) needed.
NOTE: Refer to Section III of this manual for a complete explanation of the various cycles/selections
available.
After the load is put into the basket (tumbler) and the main door is closed, determine which cycle will suit the
application (type of load). We recommend using the Automatic Drying Cycle (Patent No. 4,827,627) for most
loads. This cycle provides for the best drying in the shortest time, ALL automatically.
A. OPERATING SEQUENCE
1. Preprogrammed Cycles
a. Automatic Drying Cycle (Patent No. 4,827,627)
1) Light emitting diode (L.E.D.) display reads “REAdY” (no cycle in progress).
2) Press the letter on the keyboard (touch pad) corresponding to the cycle desired (i.e., Key “A”).
a) The dryer will then start (rotate).
3) L.E.D. display reads dRYING AUTO CYCLEA, ELAPSE TIME__MIN. During the drying
cycle, the Phase 6 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) is monitoring the amount of moisture
in the load. Approximately half way through the drying cycle, the Cycle Status portion of the
L.E.D. will display (i.e. dRY LEVEL 68 PcT). The display will change and count upward until the
percentage of extraction programmed is reached.
NOTE: To stop the dryer at any time, open the main door. To continue the cycle, close the main door,
the Phase 6 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) prompts the operator “PRESS
START” then press the “ENTER/START” Key. The dryer will continue from where it left
off, or ... the dryer may also be stopped by pressing the “CLEAR/STOP” Key. However,
the cycle that was in progress will be cancelled, and the L.E.D. display will return to the
“REAdY” (no cycle in progress) Mode.
