Install the dryer INDOORS in an area where the Float type auto drains are installed on dryer models ambient temperature will be above 55°F and below AD-10 through AD-50. For models AD-75 through 100°F. Temperatures below 55°F and above 100°F AD-3200 electronic timer operated drains are may cause erratic operation of the air dryer.

Connect electric power, according to the wiring diagram and nameplate power requirements, to the electrical terminals. The refrigerated dryer is designed to run continuously; therefore, it must be SCROLL COMPRESSOR wired separately from the air compressor cycling switch. The dryer must not cycle with the air Air dryers with a scroll compressor are uni- compressor.
START-UP AND OPERATION The non-cycling design of the refrigerated dryer assures proper dew point control at all load conditions. The refrigerant compressor runs continuously when the dryer is “ON”. All dryers are installed with fan cycling switches. These fans will cycle with respect to the load changes, STARTING THE DRYER WITHOUT ENERGIZING ambient temperature fluctuations, and the cleanliness of THE CRANKCASE HEATER WILL CAUSE PREMA-...
Consult factory for pressure switch settings on dryers any malfunction is noticed on the expansion valve, equipped with optional Low Ambient Headmaster control. contact the factory or your Pneumatech distributor. Allow 10 to 15 minutes of cooldown time before DIGITAL DRY GUARD™ (DDG) adding the compressed air load.

Please read the maintenance section or contact your Pneumatech dealer. In SERVICE DUE mode, Press UP ( ↑ ) or DOWN ( ↓ ) arrow keys to change the several functions relating to the accumulated run time can settings.
To enter the SERVICE DUE mode (and view the accumulated run time) press SELECT, UP ( ↑ ) and DOWN ( ↓ ) keys simultaneously. The display will show the accumulated run time in tens of hours. If the display reads 50, for example, the accumulated run time is 500 hours.
MAINTENANCE AIR DRYER MAINTENANCE To back-flush, disconnect air dryer, plug the drain line and fill the air system with the detergent water solution. Hold it The dryer is factory tested before shipping. All controls are for 4-6 hours. Circulate the detergent from air outlet to air calibrated for automatic operation.

Drain Valve Clean Up Procedure Recommended Operation and Maintenance for the Particle Strainer Depressurize the drain valve. The particle strainer should be cleaned once every week Disconnect the power source. or as needed. Remove the valve from the compressed air system. Close the shut-off valve on the particle strainer.
COMPRESSOR HOT GAS BYPASS VALVE Refrigerant compressors normally do not need any Model AD-10 and larger air dryers come equipped with maintenance. The compressor will unload or adjust for modulating hot gas bypass valves. This valve maintains different load conditions with the refrigeration controls. the refrigerant suction pressure in varying load conditions.
