Deltech PYRAMID Series Instruction Manual page 7

D. Operating check points
1. Check that green Power-on light is illuminated
2. Check that green Compressor-on light is illuminated if dryer
is on in the manual mode or it is a scheduled on time
IMPORTANT: Refrigeration compressor must be restarted after
power interruption.
3. Check interface panel
NOTE: Interface panel will scroll through three screens (Current
Time/Operating Status, Hours to Service and Total Operating
Hours).
a. Verify that current time is correct
b. Check HRS TO SERVICE: this indicates time remaining
until service is required; allow time for required
maintenance items to be ordered
c. Check operating status:
MANUAL OVERRIDE - Dryer is either running
continuously (not being controlled by the scheduled on/
off times) or the refrigeration compressor has been shut
off using the 'On/Off' button.
SCHEDULE RUNNING - Refrigeration compressor
is being turned on and off by the monitor per-
programmed schedule (see B.3. to set schedule).
d. Check Temperature indicator - indicator should read in
the green area.
e. Check Alarm/Service light If illuminated, check Interface
panel.
1) If SERVICE DRYER appears, scheduled
maintenance time has elapsed (HRS TO SERVICE
is 0). Perform needed service and reset service
interval (see B.3.).
2) If ALARM appears, a dryer fault is indicated; see
Troubleshooting Guide for possible remedies. After
fault correction push Reset button to turn Fault
alarm off.
Type of FAULTS:
LOW PRESSURE - the refrigeration compressor
control circuit has opened because of low suction
pressure.
HIGH PRESSURE - the refrigeration compressor
control circuit has opened because of high head
pressure. The high pressure switch must be reset
manually once the fault is corrected. Red reset
button is located on pressure switch inside unit.
HIGH TEMPERATURE - compressed air
temperature is above the set point.
COMPRESSOR - Normally open (NO) auxiliary
contact on the compressor contactor is open when
the dryer is on.
HEATER - Normally closed (NC) auxiliary contact
on the compressor contactor is open when the dryer
is off.
TEMP SENSOR - Occurs if the temperature sensor
circuit is open or shorted. If open, the left-most
LED in the temperature display will be illuminated.
If shorted, all the LEDs in the temperature display
will be illuminated.
DRAIN - electric drain contains a high water level
alarm that activates if drain fails to discharge.
f. Check drain operation - push Drain (push-to-test) button
to energize electric drain. A flow of condensate and/or
air should be present at the drain outlet.
E. Using the RS-232 port
The RS-232 port is used to monitor dryer operation from a
host computer. A (1 to 1) DB-9 cable is required to
connect dryer and computer. For PC connections, data is
transmitted on pin 2, received on pin 3, ground is pin 5,
pins 7 and 8 are jumpered at dryer.
Operation is at fixed baud rate of 9,600; asynchronous
format is 8 bit, no parity, 1 stop bit ("8,N,1"). No check
sum or error correction values are provided. If required,
request status string two (or more) times and compare for
agreement.
Request data by sending ASCII ? character (3FH).
Response may take up to two seconds as certain pro-
cessing functions may require completion before serial
port is acknowledged.
Dryer responds with line feed (0AH), carriage return
(0DH), and character string:
(1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9)
(1) = STX (start-of-text character, may appear as a
smiley face or some other character
(2) = 108, Control board ID
(3) = 0 or 1, Compressor running status (0=off, 1=on)
(4) = M or S, Operating Mode (M= MANUAL OVERRIDE,
S = SCHEDULE RUNNING)
(5) = xxxx, HOURS TO SERVICE
(6) = xxxxxx, TOTAL HOURS
(7) = xx, Alarm or Service Code (0=no alarm, 30=LOW
PRESSURE ALARM, 31=HIGH PRESSURE ALARM,
32=COMPRESSOR ALARM, 36=HIGH EVAP TEMP
ALARM, 37=HEATER ALARM, 38=DRAIN ALARM,
39=SERVICE DRYER, 41=TEMP SENSOR ALARM)
(8) = xx.x, Evaporator temperature (°F)
(9) = ETX, (end-of-text character, may appear as a heart
or some other character)
