Maximum inlet air temperature: 120°F (49°C) D. Maximum ambient temperature: Air-cooled models: 110°F (43°C) Water-cooled models: 130°F (54°C) Minimum ambient temperature: 40°F (4°C) 2.2 Start-up...
NOTE: In the event of a brief or extended period of power RNC100 loss, the unit will retain the existing program setting and RNC125 will begin a new cycle once power is reapplied. Had drain RNC150 been ready to drain before the loss of power, the drain RNC200 bowl’s capacity would prevent downstream flooding.

USB Event History When a USB flash drive is installed in the controller it will begin to automatically log all dryer events: power loss, power recovery, alarms, state (standby/running), and mode (manual/scheduled/remote). Events are timestamped and recorded in the EVENT.TXT file With the dryer controller powered off install the USB flash stored in the root folder of the USB flash drive.
2.9 Using the Ethernet Feature (J3) Figure 2: Event History The dryer controller is equipped with an Ethernet port located at J3 on the control board which allows the customer to connect the dryer to a local area network. The customer can then monitor the dryer status and performance via Web Interface or ModbusTCP.
