SECTION IV
DESCRIPTION OF PARTS
A. CONTROL PANEL (MICROPROCESSOR)
Opening the control panel will allow
access to the major components which
include the microprocessor computer
board and the keyboard (touchpad). The
keyboard (touchpad) inputs to the
computer what temperature and program
has been selected. The computer controls
the entire operation of the machine. It
accepts inputs and gives outputs to various
parts throughout the machine.
B. CONTROL PANEL
(NON-MICROPROCESSOR)
On models without microprocessors, a timer
is used to set a specific time. Most non-
microprocessor machines are built with dual
timers, a 60 minute dry timer and a 15 minute
cool down timer. The temperature selector
switch selects the “Hi,” “Perm Press,” or “Lo
Temp.” The “Push to Start” relay activates
the machine which starts the drying cycle.
C. CONTROL BOX
Opening the computer panel will reveal the control box. Inside
the control box are connectors for various harnesses traveling
throughout the machine. Located on the back of the control
panel is the computer.
