Initial start-up

Note!
The dryer must not be started up more than six times an hour. Wait at least five minutes prior to every
restart.
The user is responsible for the compliance with these provisions. Irreparable damage can be caused by
starting up the device too often.
The method below should be applied during the first start-up, after longer downtimes or subsequent to
maintenance works.
The start-up must be carried out by certified skilled personnel.
Processing sequence (see Section 11.1 "Control panel")
• Ensure that all steps of the "Installation" chapter have been carried out.
• Ensure that the connection to the compressed-air system is in accordance with the provisions and that the lines are
fixed and supported properly.
• Ensure that the condensate drain pipe is fixed in accordance with the provisions and that it is connected with a
collection system or a container.
• Ensure that the bypass system (if installed) is open and that the dryer is disconnected from the compressed-air
system.
• Ensure that the manual valve of the condensate drainage cycle is open.
• Ensure that the cooling-water flow and the cooling-water temperature are in accordance with the provisions (water-
cooled).
• Remove any packaging material and other items which may block the space around the dryer.
• Establish the mains connection (plug into socket).
• RS 180-550 3phase - switch on the main switch - pos. A control panel.
• RS 180-550 3phase - wait at least two hours before starting the dryer (the crankcase heater of the compressor needs
to heat up the compressor oil).
• Start the dryer by switching on the main switch on the control panel (pos. 1).
• Make sure that the electronic control unit is switched on.
• Ensure that the power consumption complies with the values on the name plate.
• Ensure that the fan runs properly – wait for the first interventions (air-cooled).
• Wait until the dew point remains stable.
• Slowly open the air inlet valve.
• Slowly open the air outlet valve.
• Slowly close the central bypass valve of the system (if installed).
• Check the pipes for air leakage.
• Ensure the proper functioning of the condensate drain cycle (wait for the first condensate discharges).
Note!
RS 15-40 - A dew point included in the green operating area of the electronic control unit is considered to
be correct according to the possible operating conditions (flow rate, air inlet temperature, ambient
temperature etc.).
RS 50-550 - A dew point between 32°F (0°C) and +50°F (+10°C) displayed on the electronic control unit is
considered to be correct according to the possible operating conditions (flow rate, air inlet temperature,
ambient temperature etc.).
During the operation, the refrigerating compressor runs continuously. The dryer needs to be switched on during the
entire compressed-air usage time, even if the compressed-air compressor works periodically.
