DRYER INSTALLATION
1. CODE CONFORMITY: All commercial dryer installations must conform to the local and
national codes for the location of installation.
The appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a
hinge on the opposite side to that of the tumble dryer, in such a way that a full opening of the
tumble dryer door is restricted.
2. INSTALLATION CLEARANCES: This unit may be installed at the following alcove
clearance.
I. Left Side 0”
II. Right Side 0” *
III. Back 18” (457 mm) (Certified for 1” (25 mm) clearance; however, 18”
(457 mm) clearance is necessary behind the belt guard to allow servicing
and maintenance.)
IV. Front 48” (1220 mm) (to allow use of dryer)
V. Top Refer to figure labeled on the next page “Vertical Clearance Dimensions”.
Certification allows 0” clearance at the top 1” (25 mm) back from the
front. However, a 1/4" (6 mm) clearance is required to allow opening the
upper service door.
A 10” (254 mm) clearance is required from the top at all other points.
VI. Floor This unit may be installed upon a combustible floor.

8514-250-001 REV D PAGE 17

Maintain minimum of 25 mm (1 in.) clearance between duct and combustible material.
Refer to installation label attached to rear guard for other installation information.
VERTICAL CLEARANCE DIMENSIONS - ALL DC0030/0050/0080
3. MAKE-UP AIR. Adequate make-up air must be supplied to replace air exhausted by
dryers on all types of installations. Provide a minimum air opening to the outside for each
dryer as follows:
Dryer Model Make-up Air Volume/Time Make-up Air Opening Size (minimum)
DC0030 690 CFM (19.5 m3/minute) 1 ft² (0.10 m2)
DC0050 760 CFM (21.5 m3/minute) 1.25 ft² (0.12 m2)
DC0080 1000 CFM (28.3 m3/minute) 1.25 ft² (0.12 m2)
This is a net requirement of effective area. Screens, grills or louvers, which will restrict the
flow of air, must be considered. Consult the supplier to determine the free area equivalent for
the grill being used.
The source of make-up air should be located sufficiently away from the dryers to allow an
even airflow to the air intakes of all dryers. Multiple openings should be provided.
The operation of this appliance may affect the operation of gas appliances, which take their
air for safe combustion from the same room. Adequate ventilation must be provided to avoid
back flow of gasses from other appliances in the same room. All gas appliances should be
tested with the Dexter dryer in operation and all the windows and doors closed. If in doubt,
consult the appliance manufacturer(s).
4. ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS:
The electrical installation must be performed by a qualified electrical technician.
The electrical power requirements necessary to operate the unit satisfactorily are listed on
the serial plate located on the back panel of each dryer. The electrical connection should be
made at the terminal blocks in the control box on the rear of the unit using conductors rated
at 75 C (167 F) and a wire size adequate to handle the amperage and voltage listed on the
serial plate (see table below for recommended minimum sizes). It is absolutely necessary that
the dryer be connected to a known earth (No. 8 AWG copper conductor recommended).
Knockouts are provided for the connection of 1-inch (25 mm) conduit for the power supply
conductors and 3/8-inch (10 mm) conduit for the external earthing conductor. It is absolutely

8514-250-001 REV D PAGE 18
necessary that the dryer be connected to a good earth connection. The earth connection
resistance should be checked prior to operation. Introduction of supply wiring must not
increase the Ingress Protection (IP) rating.

The installation must meet the electrical requirements of the country, state, and locality of
installation. The installer must provide a disconnect switch, which will interrupt all lines. It
may be a local or national requirement to provide an electrical interruption switch visible and
accessible from the room in which the dryer is installed. The wiring diagram is located in the
belt guard on the back of the dryer.
For destination countries where CE requirements must be met, individual 400V supply
disconnecting devices for each dryer are required and must be one of the following types:
a. switch-disconnector with fuses per IEC 60947-3 utilization category AC-23B;
b. disconnector with fuses per IEC 60947-3 having an auxiliary contact that in all cases causes
switching devices to break the load circuit before the opening of the main contacts of the
disconnector;
c. a circuit-breaker suitable for isolation per IEC 60947-2;
d. any other switching device in accordance with an IEC product standard for that device and
which meets the isolation requirements of IEC 60947-1 as well as a utilization category defined
in the product standard as appropriate for on-load switching of motors or other inductive loads;
The supply disconnecting devices must
a. provide a means allowing the supply disconnecting devices to be locked in the OFF position;
b. be mounted 0.7 m to 1.7 m above the floor, within 2 m from the dryer, and within 8 m from
the operator position;
c. have a red actuator to indicate that it serves a dual Emergency Stop function;
d. be rated for branch circuit operation;
e. be approved for use in the country where installed;
CONTROL TRANSFORMER CONNECTIONS Adjustment for different voltages of supply mains.
IMPORTANT: TRANSIENT VOLTAGE SURGE SUPPRESSORS
Like most electrical equipment your new machine can be damaged or have its life shortened
by voltage surges due to lightning strikes which are not covered by factory warranty. Local
power distribution problems also can be detrimental to the life of electrical components. We

8514-250-001 REV D PAGE 19
recommend the installation of transient voltage surge suppressors for your new equipment.
These devices may be placed at the power supply panel for the complete installation and don’t
require an individual device for each machine.
These surge protectors help to protect equipment from large spikes and also from small
ongoing spikes in the power that occur on a day to day basis. These smaller surges can
shorten overall life of electrical components of all types and cause their failure at a later date.
Although they can’t protect against all events, these protective devices have a good reputation
for significantly lengthening the useful life of electronic components. Electronic components
are helped to have a longer useful life when they are supplied with the clean stable electrical
power they like.
6. EXHAUST INSTALLATION. (Refer to Figure 2 at the end of section 6.) Exhausting of the
dryer(s) should be planned and constructed so that no air restrictions occur. Any restriction
due to pipe size or type of installation can cause slow drying time, excessive heat, and lint in
the room.
From an operational standpoint, incorrect or inadequate exhausting can cause a cycling of
the high limit thermostat, which shuts off the heating elements and results in inefficient
drying.
Individual exhausting of the dryers is recommended. All heat, moisture, and lint should be
exhaust outside by attaching a pipe of the proper diameter to the dryer adapter collar and
extending it out through an outside wall. This pipe must be very smooth on the inside, as
rough surfaces tend to collect lint, which will eventually clog the duct and prevent the dryer
from exhausting properly. All elbows must be smooth on the inside. All joints must be made
so the exhaust end of one pipe is inside the next one downstream. The addition of an exhaust
pipe tends to reduce the amount of air the blower can exhaust. This does not affect the dryer
operation if held within practical limits. For the most efficient operation, it is recommended
that no more than 20’ (6 m) of straight 8’ (200 mm) diameter pipe with two right angle elbows
is used. The design of the vent system shall be such that any condensate formed when
operating the dryer from cold shall either be retained and re-evaporated or discharged.
Maintain a minimum of 25 mm (1 in.) clearance between duct and combustible material.
If the exhaust pipe passes through a wall, a metal sleeve of slightly larger diameter should
be set in the wall and the exhaust pipe passed through this sleeve. This practice is required
by some local codes and is recommended in all cases to protect the wall. This type of
installation should have a means provided to prevent rain and high winds from entering the
exhaust when the dryer is not in use. A hood with a hinged damper can be used for this
purpose. Another method would be to point the outlet end of the pipe downward to prevent
entrance of wind and rain. In either case, the outlet should be kept clear, by at least 24”
(600 mm), of any objects, which would cause air restriction.
Never install a protective screen over the exhaust outlet.
When exhausting a dryer straight up through a roof, the overall length of the duct has the
same limits as exhausting through a wall. A rain cap must be placed on top of the exhaust
and must be of such a type as to be free from clogging. The type using a cone shaped “roof”
over the pipe is suitable for this application.
Exhausting the dryer into a chimney or under a building is not permitted. The exhaust air
should not be vented into a wall, a ceiling, or a concealed space of building. In these cases,
there is a danger of lint buildup, which can be highly combustible.

8514-250-001 REV D PAGE 20
Installation of several dryers, where a main discharge duct is necessary, will need the
following considerations for installation (see Figure 2). Individual ducts from the dryers into
the main discharge duct should be at a 45-degree angle in the direction of discharge airflow.
NOTE: Never install the individual ducts at a right angle into the main discharge duct. The
individual ducts from the dryers can enter at the sides or bottom of the main discharge duct.
Figure 2 indicates the various round main duct diameters to use with the individual dryer
ducts. The main duct can be rectangular or round, provided adequate airflow is maintained.
For each individual dryer, the total exhausting (main discharge duct plus duct outlet from the
dryer) should not exceed the equivalent of 20’ (6 m) and two elbows. The diameter of the
main discharge duct, at the last dryer, must be maintained to exhaust end.
NOTE: A small diameter duct will restrict airflow; a large diameter duct will reduce air
velocity - both contributing to lint build up. An inspection door should be provided for periodic
clean out of the main duct.
NOTE: Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes
from appliances burning gas or other fuels.
NOTE: The A-weighted emission sound pressure level does not exceed 70dB(A). The operator
does not need hearing protection.
NOTE: The dryer does not emit hazardous radiation.
WARNING: To avoid potential risks of spontaneous combustion of a load, remove the
load quickly after the completion of the cycle or in case of failure of power supply.
DANGER: Do not dry loads which may create an explosive atmosphere in the dryer.
DRYER SHUTDOWN
To render the dryer inoperative, disconnect electrical supply to the dryer.
WARNING - A clothes dryer produces combustible lint and should be exhausted
outdoors. The area around the clothes dryer should be kept free of lint.
