Chapter 3: Installation
3-1 Positioning Your Dryer
The dehumidifying dryer system was designed to be wheeled into place. The entire assembly is mounted on a rugged, compact frame and is equipped with sturdy, 4” (10 cm)
Caution! Use caution and observe safety rules when placing your dryer!
3-2 Making Electrical Connections
;Fulfill all national, state, and local safety and electrical code requirements.
;Connections should be made by a qualified electrician.
;Make sure all electrical connections are tight.
;Connect main power to the dryer at the disconnect or terminals in the upper right corner of the control enclosure.
;Install a fused disconnect with a lockout feature in the power main leading to the dryer.
;The power drop must include a ground wire.
WARNING! Proper grounding of the main power line is critical!
3-3 Connecting Compressed Air
Connect compressed air to the dryer before operation.
Caution! Excessive air pressure damages the neoprene components of the air distribution valve.
Connect the air supply, using a ¼” NPT fitting, to a clean, dry, lightly lubricated source of 80 psi (551 kPa/5.51 bars) compressed air. A pressure gauge and regulator are recommended components of your plant air supply.
The compressed air indicator switch prevents the dryer from starting without an 80 psi (551 kPa/5.51 bars) air supply. If the air supply drops to below 60 psi (413 kPa/ 4.13bars) during operation, the dryer shuts down until at least 80 psi (551 kPa/5.51 bars) is restored.
3-4 Checking for Proper Blower Rotation
Three-Phase Models
The blower rotates properly when air flows from the delivery outlet and a vacuum is felt on the blower inlet.
