9.  Condensate Drain Operation 
 
9.1 SRL-250 
 
The SRL-250 has a solenoid valve (coil YV3) that is controlled as a timed drain by the microprocessor 
on the dryer.  The user can adjust the operation of the drain by changing User Parameters D1 
(Duration) and D2 (Interval) on the dryers control panel.  See Section 7.3 for further information on 
accessing and adjusting User Parameters. 
 
 
 
  
9.2 SRL-325 to 6000 
 
On dryers SRL-325 through 6000 the solenoid valve can be also 
controlled as a zero air loss drain by the microprocessor. Factory 
Parameters D4 through D8 control the operation to ensure zero air loss 
operation. These parameters are locked and cannot be viewed or 
adjusted. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Condensate collects in the Condensate Chamber (3.1.4).  The Level Sensor (3.1.6) continuously 
monitors the level of condensate, closing the contacts and sending a signal to the microprocessor 
(digital input ID4) when it senses liquid. 
The microprocessor opens the solenoid drain valve (coil YV3) when it gets a signal from the Level 
Sensor continuously for 30 seconds (Parameter D4 – Drain Open Delay). 
The condensate is then discharged from the Condensate Chamber through the solenoid drain valve 
under pressure.   
The microprocessor closes the solenoid drain valve when it stops getting a signal from the level 
Sensor continuously for 5 seconds (Parameter D5 – Drain Close Delay).
