Attention: The air compressor must be started before the
dryer. Otherwise you may damage the electric resistance.
The fi rst start-up is in "Forced Regeneration" on default.
The unit works for a complete cycle (2 columns), after switches to normal

It is recommended to complete this type of starting with the air out-
let valve closed, to preserve the correct operation of the desiccant bed.
4.3 Operation
Leave the dryer in working during the period of working of the air com-
pressor.

• The dryer works automatically, calibrations are not required on the
fi eld;
• if there are excessive and unexpected air fl ows, by-pass to avoid
overloading the dryer.
4.4 Operation with Dew point control
In the case of work loads below the nominal or if you want different dew
point of -40 ° C, it is possible to work in Dew Point Control. The system
automatically controls the time of the cycles of operation to obtain and
maintain the predetermined dew point, with the result of energy saving in
case of work with partial loads.

To ensure optimal Dew point sensor operation, comply with the
maintenance instructions given in para. 6.4.
In this regard, the sensor connection is fi tted with a shut-off valve to
facilitate maintenance
