TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 

 

 

  The troubleshooting and the eventual checks must be performed by qualified personnel only.

 

 

 

The technician that services the machine must wear hearing and eye protection while servicing the dryer. 
Each employee must select a proper personal protection device (PPD) hearing protector such as earmuffs, 
ear canal caps or earplugs in order to prevent permanent hearing damage or loss. 

 

 

       SYSTEM TROUBLE 

POSSIBLE CAUSE  

SUGGESTED ACTION 

 

The service LED 

 on the 

controller is 
flashing amber or 
red.

 

 

Service Reminder

 

 
 
 

 

Service Due 

 

 

If the service LED indicator light is flashing amber this is an 
indication that the dryer is approaching the annual 
maintenance interval, and schedule maintenance should be 
performed within the next 5-days. – 360 hours 

 

If the service LED indicator light is flashing red then the dryer 
is overdue for scheduled maintenance by approximately one 
month, and should be serviced immediately to ensure 
trouble free operation. – 400 hours

 

 

Dryer stopped 

 

No power 

 

Valve problem 

 

No pilot control air 

 

Solenoid valves 

 

 

Controller 

 

Compressor off 

 

Check power and electric 

 

Check the operation of inlet and purge exhaust valves 

 

Ensure Control pilot air is delivering at 80 psi 

 

Ensure DIN connectors are properly attached to solenoid 
valves 

 

See controller troubleshooting 

 

Check if compressor Sync is commanding dryer off 

 

All the inlet air is 
discharged 
through the 
silencers 

 

Faulty inlet valve 

 

Faulty signal 

 

 

Faulty Outlet valve 

 

 

Pneumatic 

 

The inlet valves are blocked – open and clean 

 

The controller continuously supplies solenoid valve PVA 
and/or PVB – check the electric wiring and if necessary 
replace 

 

Outlet Check valve(s) stuck open – serviceable only by 
qualified technician 

 

Ensure tube routing matches diagram 

 

Liquid comes out 
of the silencers 

 

High dew point  

 

Overloaded 

 

Ensure operation sequence and purge setting 

 

Check capacity versus operating conditions 

 

Depressurization  

 

No power 

 

Flow control valve 

 

 

No pilot control air 

 

Exhaust Silencers 

 

Check purge exhaust valve for normal operation 

 

Ensure that the purge exhaust valve actuators is not closed 

 

Ensure pilot air reading is 80 psi 

 

Replace silencer filter elements if clogged 

 

Repressurization 

 

Purge Exhaust Valve 

 

Purge line 

 

 

Purge Valve
