4.2  Microprocessor Controls 
 
The microprocessor controls on the Sullair SRL Dryers allow you to turn the dryer on and off, controls 
the operation of the dryer, and continuously monitors the working parameters, informing the user of 
possible problems through lights, alarms and a digital display. 
In addition, the microprocessor also: 
-  Records and displays the last 8 warnings or alarms, 
-  Records the working hours of the dryer and of the refrigerant compressor, 
-  Provides a Service Required warning at a pre-set interval, 
-  Controls the cycling operation of the refrigerant compressor (SRL-325 & larger, when in Cycling 
mode), and 
-  Controls operation of the condensate drain. 
The microprocessor can also be connected to an external Modbus RTU protocol compatible system 
by installing an (optional) RS-485 communication port.  See Section 10.5 for further information. 
The electrical panel is located inside the dryer and positioned for easy access.  It is directly accessible 
from the front via a hinged door, with a door lock integrated into the dryer’s main switch.  
The power section comprises a main isolator switch, protection against motor over current, and a 
series of contactors.
