OPERATION
Do
not switch otf the dryer
if
there is
no
compressed air flow.
The
dryer
svrilches
on and off automatically.
The
number
of starts and stops depends
on
lhe flow
of
compressed
air, its
temperalure and ambient temperature.
As explained
in
the installation chapter (S7
),
the control board automatically switches
off
the refrigeranl compressor when lhere
is
no
air tlo\
r.
ln
this
cas€,
the refrigerant compressor will run occasionally and for brief periods to compensate for the dispersion of heal between the thermal mass
and
the surrounding
ambient air.
The
dryer
is
therefore
ready
to
Hoilever,
it is
perfeclly safe
ln
thls
ca9e, remember
to
dry
compressed air
as
soon
as
the flow
is
reslarted.
