Parker CDAS HL 050 Series, Installation, Operation And Maintenance Instructions

Page: 27 / 75

Important Notes:
• The default inlet valve configuration for CDAS HL / OFAS HL / FBP HL is Normally Closed (N/C).
• In this configuration, when the remote switch is closed and the ½ cycle is completed, the inlet and exhaust valve will be closed.
There will be no air flow through the dryer, protecting the desiccant bed.
• The optional inlet valve configuration for CDAS HL / OFAS HL / FBP HL is Normally Open (N/O).
• If the dryer is configured for Normally Open operation, this will allow compressed air to flow through the dryer whilst the
controller is powered off or not cycling from one column to another due to a remote stop being activated.
• Flowing compressed air through a non-cycling dryer will cause damage to the desiccant bed, invalidating warranty.
• Normally Open configuration is to be used at the user’s risk.

Purge Economy Connection
Purge economy can only operate if the dryer is installed directly after the compressor AND before an air receiver. Under no circumstances
should purge economy be connected if there is an upstream, wet air receiver as this will saturate the desiccant bed, lose dewpoint and
invalidate the dryer warranty.
Purge economy requires a wired connection to the air compressor and relies on the compressor being fitted with a relay that will change state
as the compressor switches between “on load” and “off load”.
At the Compressor
• Identify the On Load / Off Load Relay
• Determine which terminal connection on the relay is open when the compressor is on load and closes when the compressor is
off load
• This terminal and the common terminal of the relay will be used to form a digital switch.
• A 2-core cable will be required between the compressor relay and the dryer.
At the Dryer
• The dryer control board supplies the 24V DC required to
operate the Purge Economy Function.
• Connect one core of the cable from the “+” on the dryer
control board to the connection on the relay that is closed
when the compressor goes off load.
• Connect the other core of the wire between the common
connection on the relay and the P/E connection on the
control board.
