54 American Dryer Corp. 113068-7
SECTION IX
SUPPRESSION SYSTEM
The exclusive Suppression System will extinguish fires that may start in the drying basket (tumbler). A series of
sensors positioned throughout the basket (tumbler) and interfaced with the microprocessor will trigger the
suppression system water jets to quickly extinguish the flames. The water jets remain on for 2 minutes and will
automatically activate again if a fire condition remains or reignites. While the water jets are activated, the basket
(tumbler) will jog to move the water throughout the load. The microprocessor will display that the system was
activated and will continue to display until the dryer is attended to.
BEFORE YOU START!
CHECK LOCAL CODES AND PERMITS
Call your local water company or the proper municipal authority for information regarding local codes.
IMPORTANT: It is your responsibility to have ALL plumbing connections made by a qualified
professional to assure that the plumbing installation is adequate and conforms to local,
state, and federal regulations or codes.
IMPORTANT: It is the installation or owners’ responsibility to see that the necessary or required
water, water pressure, pipe size, or connections are provided. Manufacturer assumes
no responsibility if the suppression system is not connected, installed, or maintained
properly.
WARNING: Water must be supplied to suppression system or dryer will not operate.
INSTALLATION
1. Requirements
The water connection point located on the left side of the dryer is a 1” F.P.T., the suppression system must
be supplied with a minimum water pipe size of 1” and be provided with a minimum of 40 psi (2.75 bar) and
a maximum of 100 psi (6.89 bar) of pressure. For use of optional manual bypass, a second source with the
same piping and pressure requirements is required.
IMPORTANT: Flexible supply line/coupling must be used. Solenoid valve failure due to hard
plumbing connections will VOID THE WARRANTY (for non-tilt models only).
If the rear area of the dryer, or the water supply is located in an area where it will be exposed to cold/
freezing temperatures, provisions must be made to protect these water lines from freezing.
WARNING: If the water in the supply line or water solenoid valve freezes, the suppression system
will be INOPERATIVE!!
