 - Vacuum Dryer

 TSC

 

Parameters 

 

All Maguire VBD controllers operate according to certain internal PARAMETERS.  Because 
customer requirements vary widely, we have made parameters accessible for change through the 
keypad.  In most cases, these parameters will never need to be changed.  Some parameters that 
are routinely adjusted values are adjustable from the main display.  To access and edit the 
parameters, see 

Changing Parameters

 in this section: 

 
 

 

Changing parameters can have an impact on the Dryers performance.  It is highly recommended that a 
supervisor change the default Program Mode password to protect the values.  Prior to making any 
changes, make sure you understand what you are doing.  If in doubt contact a Maguire Dryer 
Technician before making changes to your dryer.
