5 Troubleshooting

 

Troubleshooting 

Should any problem occur, inspect the following table, and if the problem cannot be solved, shut off the power supply and 

then contact one of our sales offices for further instructions. 

Problem Probable 

Causes 

Remedy 

Power cord or plug is in loosening state 
or completely pulling out. 

Perform proper connection on the power cord and plug. 

Air dryer does not 
operate and running 
lamp does not light on, 
even switch is ON. 

Circuit breaker is OFF. 

Confirm whether the proper capacity of the circuit 
breaker is used. 
It is not possible to restart the air dryer within 3 
minutes after shutdown. Wait for 3 minutes before 
restarting. 
Resume the operation after resetting the circuit 
breaker to ON. If the circuit breaker still trips to OFF, 
failure of electrical insulation may have occurred. 
Remove the power supply and contact one of our 
agents for further instructions.

 

Installation place is poorly  
ventilated. Ambient temperature 
is too high.

 

Improve the ventilation system to lower the ambient 
temperature.

 

The ventilation grilles are  
obstructed by wall or clogged  
with dust.

 

Install the air dryer more than 40cm away from the  
wall. 
Clean the ventilation grilles once a month.

 

Temperature of the compressed 
air is too high.

 

Improve the ventilation system around air  
compressor or make ambient temperature around air 
compressor low to lower the temperature of  
discharge from compressor. 
Reduce the temperature of the compressed air by 
installing an additional after-cooler after air dryer.

 

Running lamp  
extinguishes and  
compressor stops  
during operation but  
resumes normal  
operation  
illuminating the  
lamp after a 
period of time.

 

Supply voltage is not in the  
following range: 
100VAC: 90V ~ 110V/90V ~  
121V (50/60Hz) 
200VAC: 180V ~ 220V/180V ~  
242V (50/60Hz)

 

Set the voltage to a proper value by installing a 
transformer or review the electrical wiring.

 

Installation place is poorly  
ventilated. Ambient temperature 
is too high.

 

Improve the ventilation system to lower the ambient 
temperature.

 

The ventilation grilles are  
obstructed by wall or clogged  
with dust.

 

Install the air dryer more than 40cm away from the 
wall. 
Clean the ventilation grilles once a month.

 

Evaporation 
thermometer indicates 
higher than green zone. 

Temperature of the compressed
air is too high.

 

Improve the ventilation system around air  
compressor or make ambient temperature around air 
compressor low to lower the temperature of  
discharge from compressor. 
Reduce the temperature of the compressed air by 
installing an additional after-cooler after air dryer.

 

Bypass valve of air dryer is not  
fully closed.

 

Close the valve completely.

 

Drain is not discharged from auto 
drain properly.

 

Check if the drain pipe has been raisen up or bent. 
Check auto drain. 
Check auto drain strainer. 

Moisture occurs  
downstream of the  
compressed air  
lines.

 

Confluence of piping with another  
unit without air dryer. 

Install air dryer on the line that does not have it. 
Separate two lines not to converge. 

Large pressure drop

 

IN / OUT valve on the air dryer  
side is not fully opened.

 

Open IN/OUT valve thoroughly.
