    What to do if SPX Pneumatic Products IBP500 shows a High Humidity Alarm?
    • D
      dustinparkerAug 19, 2025
      To troubleshoot a High Humidity Alarm on the SPX Dehumidifier, consider these potential causes: * The desiccant bed may be overloaded. Check the inlet air flow rate, temperature, and pressure. If the flow and temperature are higher than the design specifications, or the pressure is lower, it can overload the dryer. * The dew point sensor or monitor could be damaged or defective. Inspect the sensor for any physical damage and verify the operation of the monitor/sensor. Replace if necessary. * There may be a loss of desiccant drying capacity. Check the filter elements and drains for contamination due to improperly filtered inlet air. Repair or replace as necessary. Also, consider if the desiccant's useful life has been exceeded.

    How to fix SPX Pneumatic Products IBP500 when indicator lights are not illuminated?
    • W
      Wendy LeeSep 4, 2025
      If the indicator lights on your SPX Dehumidifier are not illuminated, here are some potential causes and solutions: 1. No power to the unit: Check the voltage at the terminal board. 2. Loss of power supply to (or at) the dryer’s electrical disconnect switch or breaker: Check if the disconnect switch or breaker is closed. If a tripped breaker or blown fuse is found, investigate and fix the cause. 3. Blown fuse: Replace the fuse. 4. Board malfunction: Replace the board.

    What causes excessive pressure drop in SPX Pneumatic Products IBP500?
    • S
      Shawn McdanielSep 6, 2025
      If your SPX Dehumidifier is experiencing excessive pressure drop, it may be due to: 1. Dirty inlet/outlet screens on the desiccant towers. Clean the screens, following the desiccant removal instructions in the Maintenance section. 2. Excessive flow rate. Check the flow rate of the inlet air and reduce it to the design flow rate.

    What to do if SPX Pneumatic Products IBP500 Dehumidifier shows Outlet Dew Point Alarm?
    • H
      Hannah MillerNov 20, 2025
      If the SPX Dehumidifier displays an Outlet Dew Point Alarm, consider the following potential causes: * The inlet air flow may be higher than the sizing condition. If so, reduce the inlet flow to the recommended level. * Liquids might be entering the dryer inlet. Check the inlet air line for liquids and inspect the prefilter and drain valve. Clean, repair, or replace the automatic drain valve as needed. * The inlet air temperature could be higher than the sizing condition. Inspect the compressor aftercooler and cooling system, and reduce the inlet air temperature to the appropriate level. * Desiccant dusting may be occurring. Check the air pressure, airflow, and airflow surges, and correct as necessary. It may also be necessary to replace the desiccant. * The desiccant may be con...
