2. Check disconnect switch or breaker closed. If tripped
breaker or blown fuse is noted, investigate and Remedy
cause.
3. Replace fuse.
4. Replace board.
Excessive pressure drop in dryer 1. Inlet/Outlet screens on desiccant tow-
ers are dirty
2. Excessive ow rate
1. Clean screens; follow desiccant removal instructions in the
Maintenance section.
2. Check ow rate of inlet air. Reduce to design ow rate.
Low Pressure Alarm
Left Tower or Right Tower

1. Loss of dryer air supply.
2. Excessive air demand.
3. Faulty drying tower pressure switch
4. Drying tower Inlet Valve failed to open
5. Drying tower Purge Exhaust Valve
failed to close.
6. Drying tower Depressurization Valve
failed to close
7. Regenerating tower Outlet Check

ing
1. Check compressor supplying dryer.
2. Check equipment downstream of dryer.
3. Check pressure switch operation using tower pressure
gauge for comparison. Replace switch if defective.
4a. Check for loss of pilot air - ensure manual drain valve on
bottom of pilot air lter is fully closed, ensure pilot air lter
cartridge is not clogged, ensure pilot air shut-off valve is
open
4b. Check for inlet pilot air solenoid valve failure. Check valve
operation. Repair or replace as necessary.
4c. Check for drying tower Inlet Valve failure - examine valve
and actuator for damage. Repair or replace as necessary.
5a. Check for air ow out of drying tower Purge Valve or ex-
haust piping indicating valve is not completely closed.
5b. Check for loss of pilot air - ensure manual drain valve on
bottom of pilot air lter is fully closed, ensure pilot air lter
cartridge is not clogged, ensure pilot air shut-off valve is
open
5c. Check for purge pilot air solenoid valve failure. Check valve
operation. Repair or replace as necessary.
5d. Check for drying tower Purge Exhaust Valve failure - exam-
ine valve and actuator for damage. Repair or replace as
necessary.
6. Check for air ow out of drying tower Depressurization
Mufer indicating valve is not completely closed. Repair or
replace as necessary.
7. Indicated by excessive ow out of regenerating tower
Purge Valve. Examine valve internals. Repair or replace
as necessary.
8. Indicated by excessive ow out of regenerating tower Purge
Valve or reverse air ow through heater and blower, i.e., out
of the blower intake lter, examine valve internals. Repair
or replace as necessary.
CAUTION: Air owing backwards through heater and
blower may be very hot.
