The Carousel Plus W series dryer uses RTD sensors to monitor the temperatures of
the drying air, the return air, the regeneration outlet, the regeneration inlet process
protection and setback at the outlet of the hopper.
To check or replace RTD sensors:
1
Disconnect and lockout the main power supply.
2
Remove dryer panels, as necessary.
3
Locate the RTD sensors.
4
Check the sensor positions and conditions. Temperature readings will be
incorrect, if the sensors are touching the wall of an air hose or pipe or if the sen-
sor or wiring is damaged. The tip of the sensor should be centered within the air
hose or pipe. Sensor wires should be attached to the appropriate connection
points on the dryer's electrical enclosure or microprocessor board.
5
To check with ohm meter, measure the resistance across the RTDs. The
resistance should be approx. 110 ohm at room temperature.
6
Replace the sensor, if necessary.
IMPORTANT : Always refer

cal components.
