INTRODUCTION
The American Dryer Corporation’s Phase 7 On-Premise Laundry (OPL) Drying System has
been designed with super performance in mind to provide for better temperature regulation, effi-
ciency, performance, consistency, and faster drying times.
Specifically, ADC’s Phase 7 OPL System’s higher performance emanates from the following
enhancements:
1. The ability to better control the temperature inside the basket (tumbler) throughout the various
cycles.
2. The Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) responds immediately to any tempera-
ture variations from temperature selection, which enables the control temperature band to be
±3º from this selected drying temperature. The narrower temperature control band greatly
increases system efficiency, since it takes less heat to maintain a given temperature than to rise
to a given temperature.
Among its many amenities, ADC’s Phase 7 OPL Drying System has a true Automatic Drying
Cycle. The Phase 7 OPL Automatic Drying Cycle (Patent No. 4,827,627) principle is based on
one of the most fundamental laws of thermodynamics which governs the flow of heat in thermal
systems.
Utilizing this microprocessor technology, the user simply has to place the load in the dryer and
push one single button to start drying cycle. The Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller (com-
puter) will directly monitor the moisture content in the load and stop the drying cycle automatically
when the selected percentage of extraction (dryness level) is reached.
The ADC Phase 7 OPL Automatic Drying Cycle (Patent No. 4,827,627) virtually eliminates all
guess work. The Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) determines how much drying
time is needed and compensates for various types of fabrics and load sizes, thus, avoiding damage
to fabrics by over drying, as well as avoiding wasted time and energy for any given load. Once the
Phase 7 microprocessor controller (computer) determines the load is dry, the microprocessor con-
troller will go into cool down cycle (Patent No. 4,827,627) until the preprogrammed time or tem-
perature is reached, and then shuts the dryer off automatically.

SECTION II
FEATURES
A. Dependable Microprocessor Solid State Integrated Circuitry - to eliminate as many moving parts as
possible.
B. Program Changes Are Easily Made At The Keyboard - actual programs are viewed at the L.E.D.
display for verification.
C. Automatic Drying Cycle (Patent No. 4,827,627) - computerized monitoring of load dryness for precise,
fast, and efficient drying.
D. Timed (Manual) Drying Cycle - for special loads, programming allows for a specific amount of time in
minutes for both drying and cool down cycles.
E. Preprogrammed Cycles - the Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) can store in its
memory six (6) preprogrammed cycles in either the Automatic Drying Mode (Patent No. 4,827,627)
or Manual Drying Mode in the A-F keys and an additional 100 in the numerical memory of 0-99.
F. Manually Loaded Cycles - for occasional or one-time special loads, the user can set a specific program
in either the Automatic Drying Cycle ( Patent No. 4,827,627) or Manual Timed Drying Cycle.
H. Cool Down Program - Lowers the temperature of the exhaust to make the material cool enough
to handle.
I. L.E.D. Display - informs user of cycle status, programs and displays important diagnostic and
fault codes.
J. Wrinkle Guard Program - helps keep items wrinkle-free when they are not removed from the
dryer promptly at the end of the drying and cooling cycles.
K. Diagnostics - major circuits, including the door switch(s), microprocessor temperature sensor,
motors, and heat output circuits and more are monitored.
L. Audio Alert Signal - The tone will sound at the end of a complete drying cycle at a one second rate for
the duration programmed. It will also sound for any fault conditions at a quarter second rate for 4 beeps.
Finally there is a 3 beep warning at the beginning of every Wrinkle Guard On Cycle.
4
O. Cycle Preview - entire dryer parameters (programs) or the preprogrammed cycles are displayed
for verification upon a coded entry to the keypad (touchpad).
Q. RPM - Phase 7 microprocessor controller also displays tumbler RPM by pressing the Down Arrow Key
and holding it, the tumbler RPM will be displayed. (The tumbler must be rotating for approximately 30
seconds before getting a true RPM reading)
R. Clean Lint - this feature monitors the value of the “Lint Count” register. The register contains the
acceptable limit of dryer cycles the machine will be allowed operate before the microprocessor
locks the user out. Once the feature prompts the user to “CLEAN LINT DRAWER” the dryer is now
in a locked state and will not be cleared until the Lint Drawer has been cleaned. When the Lint
Drawer is opened, the display will read “LINT DRAWER OPEN” and when the Lint Drawer is closed,
the display will read “READY”. (NOTE: the Lint Drawer must be opened for 15 seconds or more for
the reset to occur.) The dryer circuit is now active and can be programmed.
S. Language Selection - Phase 7 has the ability to display 5 different languages, English, French, Spanish,
Italian, German.
T. Model Selection- The Phase 7 can be programmed to be used on 3 modes of heat. Gas single burner
(200), Gas double burner (310, 410), Steam (200, 310, 410)
U. L.E.D. Display Modes- The display can be changed to scroll pixel or character. Also, the scrolled
messages can be either continuous, continuous with a pause or just one time. The speed of the scroll is
also adjustable for operators preference.
V. Factory Settings - This feature will set all programmed parameters to thier default values.

SECTION III
PROGRAM SELECTIONS
A. PREPROGRAMMED CYCLES
1) A-F Cycles
The Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) can store in its memory six (6) preprogrammed cycles
(Keys “A” through “F” on the keyboard [touchpad]). This allows the user to have the six (6) most commonly
used cycles, requiring only the push of a single keyboard entry to start the dryer.
2) 0-99 Cycles
The Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) can store 100 preprogrammed cycles in its numerical
memory. (Use Keys “0” through “99” on the keyboard [touchpad]). This allows the user to have up to 100
customized programmed cycle that may not be as commonly used as the (6) “A” - “F”. These are not one touch
entries to start the dryer like the “A” - “F”. They are selected by entering the number which represents the cycle
desired and pressing the “START/ENTER” key to start the cycle.
Both types of the preprogrammed cycles can be set in either the Automatic Drying Cycle (Mode) (Patent
4,82727), where the drying cycle will end when the percentage of extraction (dryness level) programmed has
been reached, or in the Manual Timed Drying Cycle (Mode) where the dryer will operate for the specific drying
time programmed. These cycles can be programmed in any combination.
Once the drying cycle is completed, the Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller then goes into the Cool Down
Cycle where the articles are tumbled at room temperature. Once the programmed Cool Down Cycle is completed,
the Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) will go to the next step (Wrinkle Guard).
When the cooling cycle is completed, the dryer will go into the Wrinkle Guard Cycle. Where the load will be
tumbled without heat for 2- minutes. It will then Stop for 2- minutes. This process is repeated until either the
doors are opened, Stop key pressed or, 99- minutes has elapsed, whichever comes first. When Wrinkle Guard is
ended, the display will read “CYCLE DONE”. At this point the dryer is locked out from drying again until the
doors are opened. This will insure that if a cycle has been completed, it will be attended to by the operator, before
starting another heat cycle.
NOTE: On an Auto Door Machine, The Door controls are not active while the Fan Motor is on. One
must press the “STOP/CLEAR” key to stop the Fan Motor and open the doors or wait for the
Fan Motor to stop on it’s own (Wrinkle Guard Off Time) to open the doors.
6
d. Cool Down Time - programmable from 0 to 99 minutes in one-minute increments.
a. The Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) can be programmed to reverse or not
reverse (single direction rotation). This is done in “DRYER SETUP” parameter.
f. The Spin Time can be programmed from 30 seconds to 120 seconds in one-second increments.
This is done in “COOL DOWN” Menu
g. The Stop (Dwell) Time can be programmed from 7 seconds to 10 seconds in one-second
increments. This is done in “COOL DOWN” Menu
All six (A-F) preprogrammed cycles along with cycles 0 - 99 have been programmed by the factory as outlined
on page 49. However, even though cycles “A -F” are the most common cycles used, they should be reviewed
to ensure they meet the location application or needs. Should changes be found necessary, refer to the Programming
Section of this manual.
For occasional or one-time special loads, the operator must enter the specific program features needed. This
cycle is not stored within the Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) and must be entered each and
every time.
The Manually Loaded Cycle can be set in either the Automatic Drying Cycle (Mode) (Patent No. 4,827,627)
or the Timed (Manual) Drying Cycle (Mode). These are selected by pressing the “AUTO” or “MAN” keys on
the keypad.
7
Manually Loaded Cycle Menu Selections:
b. Dryness Level (percentage of extraction) - programmable from 90% (less dry) to 100%
(more dry) in one-percent increments.
c. The operator has the choice of Reverse or No Reverse (single direction rotation) depending
on what it has been set for in “DRYER SETUP”. The choice is “SELECT REVERSE” or
“ALWAYS REVERSE”.
NOTE: If Always Reverse is selected, then there will not be a part (c) of the Auto Drying Menu above.
The operator will not be asked to select reverse or not.
The Manually Loaded Auto Cycle has the “A” and “B” Factors set in “DRYER SETUP”. The (A-F) and (0-99)
cycles that have been selected to be Auto , have separate Factors for each cycle. All the parameters set in
“COOL DOWN SETUP” also pertain to the Manually loaded Auto and Manual cycles.
d. The operator has the choice of Reverse or No Reverse (single direction rotation) depending on
what it has been set for in “DRYER SETUP”. The choice is “SELECT REVERSE” or “ALWAYS
REVERSE”.
NOTE: If Always Reverse is selected, then there will not be a part (d) of the Manually Drying Menu
above. The operator will not be asked to select reverse or not.
In this mode, the Phase 7 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 7
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 7 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 7 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.

how long it takes to get to the selected temperature.
b. Factor “B” Heat Loss (offset) Program - this factor setting is dependent upon the model dryer
and the type of heating unit.
The Manually Loaded Auto Cycle has the “A” and “B” Factors set in “DRYER SETUP”. The (A-F) and (0-
99) cycles that have been selected to be Auto, have separate Factors for each cycle. All the parameters set in
“COOL DOWN SETUP” also pertain to the Manually loaded Auto and Manual cycles.
The “A” and ‘B” Factors have been preprogrammed by the factory as outlined on page 51 and
SHOULD NOT BE CHANGED unless the Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller (computer)
should fail and is being replaced. The replacement Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller MUST BE
PROGRAMMED for the particular dryer model and heating unit as shown in the “A” and “B” Factor
table on page 51 of this manual.
9
D. TIMED (MANUAL) DRYING CYCLE OPERATION (Mode)
This drying cycle is intended for special loads where a specific amount of drying time and cooling time is
needed, especially for fine, delicate items which require very low temperatures and long drying and/or cool
down time periods.
All the parameters set in “COOL DOWN SETUP” pertain to the Manually loaded Manual and Auto
cycles. The (A-F) and (0-99) cycles that have been selected to be Manual, have separate settings for all the
parameters contained in the “COOL DOWN SETUP” menu
3) Drying Temperature - programmable from 100°F to 200°F in one-degree increments or from 37°C
to 93°C in one-degree increments.
4) For optional reversing, the Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller can be programmed to reverse or no
reverse (single detection rotation). This is done in “DRYER SETUP”.

2) Cool Down Temperature - 70ºF to 100ºF in one-degree increments or from 20ºC to 37ºC
in one-degree increments.
NOTE: The Cool Down Temperature, Spin Time, and Stop (Dwell) Time is selected in “COOL
DOWN SETUP”
11
NOTE: The Cool Down Cycle will run either until the Cool Down Temperature is reached or until
the Cool Down Time has expired, whichever comes first.
NOTE: If there has been no Drying Time selected, then the Cool Down Cycle will ignore the Cool Down
Temp and do the Cool Down Time only.
The L.E.D. (light emitting diode) display informs the user of cycle status, program verification, and displays
important diagnostic and fault information. A complete listing of the various display messages and their
meanings are shown on page 27 - 29 of this manual.
Display Selections:
0 . Scroll Mode
a. Pixel - This mode will scroll every message, (that exceeds the display limit) from left to right
dropping off a pixel column at a time.
b. Character - This mode will scroll every message, (that exceeds the display limit) from left to right
dropping off a character at a time.
1 . Scroll Type

either one of the following:
12
H. CYCLE IN PROGRESS TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
While the dryer cycle is in progress, the temperature in the basket (tumbler) can be displayed by pressing and
holding the “UP-ARROW” Key. The temperature will be displayed in either Fahrenheit (ºF) or Celsius (ºC),
depending on what the system temperature has been set for in “Dryer Setup”.
Temperature related programs are programmable to be operated in either Fahrenheit (ºF) or Celsius (ºC).
The Temperature selection is made in “SYSTEM TEMP”. Programs affected are:
IMPORTANT: When changing the temperature conversion status from Fahrenheit or Celsius or
vice versa, ALL the Temperature Selections and Cool Down Temperatures will be
changed accordingly. The Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller (computer)
automatically calculates and converts the temperatures in these programs to the
previously set value. For example, when changing from ºF to ºC, if the
preprogrammed Cycle “A” drying temperature was set for 160ºF, the Phase 7 OPL
microprocessor controller (computer) will change to 71ºC (+/- [1] one-degree
Celsius).
13
J. WRINKLE GUARD PROGRAM
This program keeps items wrinkle-free when they are not removed from the dryer promptly at the end of the
drying cycle and/or cooling cycle.
When the drying and cooling cycles are completed, the dryer will shut off, the tone will sound, and the L.E.D.
display will read “WRINKLE GUARD”. If the door is not opened, or cycle stopped. The Phase 7 OPL
microprocessor controller (computer) will wait until the Wrinkle Guard Delay Time of 2 minutes has expired at
which time the fan will start and the basket (tumbler) will rotate (without heat) for the Wrinkle Guard On Time of
2 minutes. The Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) will repeat this process until the Maximum
Wrinkle Guard Time of 99 minutes has expired or until the door is opened, or cycle stopped, whichever comes
first. Prior to each On Time, there is a 3 beep warning that the fan and basket rotation are about to start. The
beeps at the end of the Wrinkle Guard cycle can be programmed to be ON/OFF. This is done in “WRINKLE
GUARD SETUP”.
The operator can select to turn on or off the beeps at the end of each Wrinkle Guard cycle.
The tone will sound at the end of the Cool Down Cycle to indicate that the cycle is complete. Programming
allows for the elimination of the tone during the Wrinkle Guard Cycle. This is done in “WRINKLE GUARD
SETUP”. Programming also allows the beeps to be set from 0 to 10 times in increments of 1. This is done in
“DRYER SETUP”.
The parameters of the preprogrammed cycles can be displayed for verification. To view an “A-F” preset
program (parameter), simply press the “ENTER/START” key and the desired preset program “A-F”. The
L.E.D. display will read the program parameter settings, then return to the “READY” display mode. To view a
“0-99” preset program parameter, simply press the “ENTER/START” key and the desired preset program
number 0-99 and press the “ENTER/START” key again. The L.E.D. display will read the program parameter

SECTION IV
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) allows the operator to choose from six (6) preprogrammed
cycles (Key “A” through Key “F”). These have been preprogrammed by the factory with the parameters
(programs) shown on page 49. There are an additional (“0” through “99”) preprogrammable cycles that are
preprogrammed by the factory with the parameters (programs) shown on page 49. 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 dryer is ready to dry, determine which cycle will best 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
2) Press the letter on the keyboard (touchpad) corresponding to the cycle desired (i.e., Key
“A”).

SECTION VI
PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS
A. INTRODUCTION TO PROGRAMMING
The various program selections are stored in the Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) and are broken
down into five (5) categories:
1. System Parameters (Dryer Setup, Display Setup, Cool Down Setup, Wrinkle Guard Setup)
4. Default Settings (Returns all the programmable parameters to the default settings).
Both the preprogrammed cycles and the system parameters (programs) have been preprogrammed by the factory
with the parameters shown on page 49 of this manual. The various program selections for the preprogrammed
cycles and system parameters are outlined in Section III of this manual.
ALL program changes for the preprogrammed cycles and system parameters (programs) are done through the
keypad selection keys on the front of the control panel.
To alter the programming Parameters, the operator will locate the parameter (program) that is to be changed. If the
change is a numerical one (i.e., time and/or temperature), the operator will simply enter the numerical value desired.
If an error is made, press the “CLEAR/STOP” Key ONCE, and the incorrect entry that was made will be
cancelled. Once the entry is made, and the parameter (program) set does not need to be changed, press the
“ENTER/START” Key, and the Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) will advance to the next
program selected.
If the parameter (program) change is a feature change, such as changing the temperature conversion from degree
Fahrenheit (ºF) to degree Celsius (ºC) or from “AUTO” (Automatic Drying Cycle - Patent No. (4,827,627) to”
MANUAL” (Timed [Manual] Drying Cycle), the operator will press the “UP ARROW” or “DOWN ARROW” Key.
This will toggle between choices. Once the entry is made, or if the parameter (program) does not need to be
changed, press the “ENTER/START” Key, and the Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) will
advance to the next program selection.
30
When making numerical changes, please keep in mind to stay within the programming limits shown on page 34
- page 38. If an erroneous entry is made, the Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) will display
“ERROR” and ignore the entry made when the “ENTER/START” Key is pressed and will return to the
numerical value previously set.
The Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) allows the operator to scroll through the various
parameters (programs) and select the parameter to be changed. At this point, the operator can go to the
next Program Location (system parameter) to be changed. If no other programs (parameters) need to be
changed, the user can get out of the program mode by pressing the ”CLEAR/STOP” Key until it is out of the
programming mode. The Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) will be returned to the operating
mode, and the L.E.D. display will read “READY”.
The following section of this manual ( page 32 through page 46) explains the programming of the preprogrammed
cycles and Program Locations (system parameters) through the use of flow charts. A flow chart is nothing more
than a diagram of the programming process.
a rectangle
Each rectangle will represent a read-out on the Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) L.E.D.
display, and each square will represent a key that is pressed. For example:
READY
1. If the flow chart shows the symbol the Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller
(computer) L.E.D. display will read the same.
2. If the flow chart shows the symbol you will press that specific key on the keypad label.
b. On the sides of these flow charts are explanations of the flow chart procedure, and in some cases
the programming limits.
31
Listed below, is an index of the flow charts on the following pages.
NOTE: To review the preset Program Locations, simply press the “ENTER/START” key followed by the
letter location while the L.E.D. display reads “READY”. To review a number location, simply
follow the same process as a letter with the addition of the “ENTER/START” key being pressed
again after the number is selected.

The I/O Board Indicator uses a series of red and green LEDs to communicate the status of each component. Red LEDs indicate input conditions, such as door states or overload situations, while green LEDs show output actions like heat activation or tumbler direction. This visual feedback helps in diagnosing issues quickly by reflecting the operational states in real-time .
When the CLEAR/STOP key is pressed, the system evaluates the current temperature relative to the Cool Down setpoint. If above this setpoint, the dryer enters the Cool Down cycle. A subsequent press will halt this cycle, resetting the dryer to the READY state. Conversely, if the temperature is below the setpoint, the cycle cancels immediately and transitions to Wrinkle Guard, ensuring user safety while maintaining operational integrity .
Temperature monitoring is crucial for balancing efficiency and safety during the drying cycle. By maintaining the temperature above 160°F before allowing the dryer to move to percentage dryness display, it ensures efficient moisture extraction. Simultaneously, monitoring prevents overheating, as systems like the high-limit disks (e.g., Front and Rear Burner High Limit) are in place to cut power if temperatures exceed safety thresholds (e.g., 330°F for burners, 225°F for exhaust), thereby protecting both the device and the laundry from damage .
After reaching the set dryness level, the dryer transitions into the Cool Down cycle, decreasing temperature while the fan and tumbler continue. Following Cool Down, it enters the Wrinkle Guard cycle, alternating between active and rest phases to prevent wrinkling. The process concludes with an audio alert, after which the LED displays 'CYCLE DONE' and requires door opening to reset to READY status .
The ALERT function utilizes an audio signal to notify users of important cycle transitions or anomalies, serving as a crucial safety feature. It provides immediate feedback for actions needed, like unloading after wrinkle guard and can alert maintenance issues, reducing the risk of unattended operational faults leading to equipment damage or safety hazards .
The Cool Down cycle is triggered once the drying cycle reaches the preprogrammed percentage of extraction. This cycle shuts off the heat while allowing the fan and tumbler to continue until the planned cool-down time or temperature is reached. Its purpose is to gradually lower the temperature of the clothes to prevent the risk of wrinkles and damage due to sudden cooling .
Reverse Mode toggled during setup helps improve drying efficiency and prevents tangling by periodically reversing tumbler direction. This ensures even exposure to heat and air, enhancing overall drying efficiency and quality, particularly for bulky or tangled loads. The option to use this mode provides an additional layer of customization for different fabric and laundry types .
The Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller uses real-time monitoring of moisture levels and temperature to ensure optimal drying. Once the temperature exceeds 160°F, it switches the LED display from elapsed time to show the percentage of dryness, counting upwards until the preprogrammed percentage is reached. This dynamic adjustment helps achieve the desired dryness level efficiently by stopping the drying cycle automatically at the set parameter, optimizing energy use and fabric care .
In the automatic drying cycle, users set the desired temperature between 160°F and 200°F using either direct entry or arrow keys. The microprocessor then maintains this temperature, ensuring efficient drying based on real-time feedback from temperature sensors. This precision in temperature control is essential for balancing energy use and fabric care, preventing overheating .
The Wrinkle Guard cycle is activated automatically after the Cool Down cycle to prevent wrinkling if clothes are not immediately removed from the dryer. It operates for up to 99 minutes, cycling between two minutes on and two minutes off, where the tumbler rotates without heat. This ensures clothes are gently agitated, preventing wrinkle formation from extended periods of stillness .
