Every person who is tasked with the installation, operation and/or maintenance of the Condair DA Series
Desiccant Dryer must read and understand this manual, as well as any respective installation, operation and/or
maintenance manuals before performing any work. Knowing and understanding the contents of these manuals is a
basic requirement for protecting personnel against any kind of danger, preventing faulty operation, and operating
the unit safely and correctly.

All labels, signs and markings applied to unit must be observed, kept in a readable state, and NOT removed or
altered.

Personnel Qualifications

All procedures described in this document must only be performed by personnel who are adequately qualified,
familiar with the unit, well trained, and are authorized by the customer.

For safety and warranty reasons, any activity beyond the scope of this manual must only be performed by
qualified personnel authorized by Condair.

The unit may not be used by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental abilities, or
persons lacking experience and knowledge — unless they are being supervised by a person responsible for their
safety, or have received proper instruction on the operation of the system.

All personnel working with the Condair DA Series Desiccant Dryer unit must be familiar with, and comply with the
appropriate regulations on workplace safety and prevention of accidents.

Intended Use

parts within specified operating conditions (such as dehumidification of air at atmospheric pressure). Refer to

"Technical Data" on page 16

for details. Any other type of application, without the express written consent of

Condair, is considered to be NOT conforming to its intended purpose, and may lead to dangerous operation and
will void the warranty.

In order to operate the equipment in the intended manner all information contained in this manual, in particular the
safety instructions, must be observed closely.

Safety Precautions that Must be Observed

DANGER!

Risk of electric shock!

The unit is mains powered. Using the On/Off button on the touch screen to shut down the unit will
not remove power from the unit. Live parts may be exposed when the access panels or doors are
removed. Touching live parts may cause severe injury or even death.

Prevention:

Before performing any work inside the dehumidifier, shut down the dehumidifier properly,

as described in

"Shutting Down the Unit" on page 37

. The unit must be connected to the mains only

after all mounting, installation, and maintenance work has been completed, checked for correct
workmanship, and the access panels/doors are closed and fastened securely. Secure the unit against
accidental power-up.

Only qualified personnel should perform maintenance or repairs on the unit.

Follow any lockout procedures when servicing the unit.
