INSTRUMENTATION

ON/OFF Switch
The dryer is equipped with an ON/OFF switch on the front panel.
A light signals when the dryer is on.
Dew Point Indicator
(75 through 150 scfm models)
All dryers are equipped with a dew point indicator which indi-
cates dryer conditions as follows:
It is normal for the dew point indicator to be in the red zone
when the dryer is first turned on and then move to the green
zone when the dryer reaches its normal operating temperature.
If this indicator is in the red zone during normal operation,
turn the dryer off to avoid compressor damage. Refer to the
Field Service Guide for additional information, or call your local
distributor.

Dryer System Monitor (DSM)
(200 through 500 scfm models)
The Dryer System Monitor (DSM) has LED type dew point tem-
perature indicator and operating time control for the electronic
drain valve. When the dryer is running normally, the green LED
will illuminate. If the red LED is illuminated, there is a need for
the dryer's operating condition to be checked. If all LEDs are
illuminated, the sensor for the dew point temperature indicator
has malfunctioned.
The automatic drain valve controls allow the period of drain
opening to be set from 1 second to 9 seconds and drain valve
closed time to be set from 0.5 minutes to 15 minutes. When the
Drain Push-to-Test button (5) is pushed for one (1) second, the
Drain LED (6) will illuminate and the drain port opens with a click.
