leads .  The other coil lead should be attached to the N .O . or coil 
neutral terminal for each independent purge point solenoid 
(S6N, S8F) .

The terminal blocks supplied with the purger accept wire 
from 12-22 AWG wire . For wire sizes smaller than 12 AWG, 
wire pin terminals are supplied to make installation easier . 
It is recommended to use the pin terminals for the optimal 
electrical connection . The maximum allowable torque for the 
field wiring terminals is 0 .4 Nm (3 .5 in-lbs) .

Input power to the controller should not exceed a maximum  
of 265 VAC . If voltage spikes in excess of this are expected, a 
surge suppressor must be installed .

On the bottom of the purger control enclosure are access 
ports to feed the power and purger point wire connections . 
Wire only one purge point solenoid to each controller contact 
relay .

CAUTION:

 The controller is not to be connected to rigid 

metallic conduit . Nonmetallic enclosures do not provide 
grounding between conduit connections . Use grounding 
bushings and jumper wires when connecting to metal conduit 
or equivalent .

12 . The purger may be commissioned once the unit is properly 

connected to the associated piping within the ammonia system 
and all power connections are securely established .  

13 . Supply power to the purger and wait for the start up screen 

to display . Follow the instructions on the display screen and 
familiarize yourself with the control panel’s interface, see 
Figure 9 .

On startup, the purger will enter a 15 second delay . This allows 
the bubbler to fill with water before starting any purge cycles .

If the water bubbler does not fill to the recommended water 
level press and hold the (INIT) button on the controller keypad 
to energize the water solenoid valve . When water begins to 
drain from the overflow tube, release the (INIT) button to de-
energize the water solenoid valve .

WARNING:

 Because both the water and vent solenoids are 

energized at the same time, this procedure must be done prior 
to opening the system to refrigeration . Failure to do so will 
result in venting of ammonia .

SAFETY FEATURE:

 The temperature controller and sensor are 

wired in series with the pressure switch .  This prevents venting 
of non-condensed refrigerant to the water bubbler before the 
heat exchanger reaches the desired temperature .

If the automatic startup does not activate, the process will have 
to be performed manually . Press the MENU button on the 
control panel interface to enter the display screen and follow 
the startup instructions located further in the document .

14 . When the initial startup is complete, the startup screen can 

be exited by pressing the MENU button on the control panel 
interface . This will bring you to the main display screen where 
the actual temperature and pressure, target vent, active purge 
point, number of vents, duration of vent and solenoid activity 
is displayed .

The main display screen, on startup, is always in English . To 
change the language follow the language setting instructions 
located in appendix A .

15 . The number of purge points for the system needs to be defined 

with the required sample time for each point . To setup the 
purge points, follow the purger type and purge points setting 
instructions located further in this document . The purge mode 
can also be set to either automatic, time based or manual 
purging .

16 . Now that the purger is properly installed and commissioned, 

the high pressure liquid, foul gas, and suction lines can be 
opened to the purger . Slowly open each line, no order required, 
and check for leaks . If there no leaks, continue opening the 
hand shut-off valves to full open .

The purger will automatically start establishing the conditions 
required for purging .

All other setup instructions, such as date setup,  time setup, display 
settings, history, etc . can be found in appendix A .
