Page 13: Safety Features
Options Options can tailor your dryer to meet the exact requirements of the drying task being performed. • Floor-mount configuration • Membrane compressed air dryer for low dew point operation • 220/1/50 operation • 230/1/60 operation Safety Features This section includes information on safety devices and procedures that are inherent to the 10 cfm compressed air dryer. - Page 14 Line Cord Plug (115/1/60 units only) The line cord plug allows the operator or maintenance personnel to unplug the dryer from its power source and tag it out. This plug may be tagged with any number of approved electrical lockout tags. These tags are available at most electrical supply stores. Always disconnect power before servicing or moving this unit.
- Page 15 Remote Membrane Dryer for Low-Dew point Operation (Optional) Membrane dryers take a small percentage of the dried gas and direct it back in a sweeping pattern through the module shell. This provides a driving force to remove the moisture with the minimum purge required.
- Page 16 Microprocessor Controls The compressed air dryer uses a microprocessor-based PID temperature controller for maintaining process air temperature. The controller is a modular, self-contained unit that you can remove from the mounting housing. All parameters except for the process air set point are factory set and adjusted.

Page 17: Chapter 3: Installation
Chapter 3: Installation Uncrating the Equipment The compressed air dryer has a handle at the top of the cabinet to use for lifting. For hopper-mount configurations, be sure to support the hopper when lifting and placing the dryer. Use caution and observe safety rules when lifting and placing your dryer. Be sure it is securely attached and additional bracing is used if necessary. - Page 18 Connecting a Floor-Mount Dryer to a Hopper (Optional) Use high-temperature flexible dryer hose or rigid tubing to connect the dryer to the drying hopper. Keep the delivery hose to the drying hopper as short as possible to minimize heat loss. We strongly recommend insulated hose for maximum energy savings. Make sure that hoses are not kinked or collapsed.

Page 19: Electrical Connections
Making Electrical Connections The serial tag lists voltage, phase, and amp draw information. Line voltage must be within plus or minus ten percent of the voltage listed on the serial tag, or damage may occur. Never supply any voltage other than what the dryer is configured for. Fulfill all national, state, and local safety and electrical code requirements. - Page 20 Installing the Remote-Mount Membrane Dryer (Optional) The membrane drying kit can be mounted anywhere near the compressed air dryer. The kit is pre-assembled with a bracket that can be mounted to any flat surface with two screws. Use Figure 5 as a reference for this installation. Remove the large particle filter, including the close nipple, from the inlet of the compressed air dryer.
