Potential Cause 

Verification 

Corrective Action 

 

 

 

 

 

B1 

All 

The purge orifice size is 

larger than what is 

required for the current 

operating conditions. 

Verify that the orifice size 

corresponds to the actual operating 

pressure and flow rate. Contact the 
factory if you require sizing data for 

your model. 

Resize the dryer by  

replacing the orifice(s)  

with a smaller size. 

B2 

PCR 

PMD 

TOC 

Inlet or outlet shuttle disc 

not shifting. 

Verify that the actual operating 

pressure and inlet/outlet flow rates 

match the specified performance of 

the unit. Contact the factory if you 

require sizing data for your model. 

Line pressure too low at inlet: 

Increase the operating 

pressure or resize the purge 

orifice for the new conditions.

B3 

PCR 

PMD 

TOC 

Inlet or outlet shuttle disc 

not shifting. 

Depressurize the system, remove 

shuttle valve assembly, and check 

for damage or contamination of 

inside the valve body. 

Replace or clean valve body 

and disc. Check condition of 

inlet filtration (A6) and 

desiccant (A3). 

B4 

All 

Timer not operating 

properly. 

Check for incoming voltage 

fluctuations caused by inductive 

devices (eg. electric motors) on the 

same circuit. 

Supply line voltage from 

another source. 

B5 

All 

Timer defective. 

Measure the output voltage from the 

timer, as per the cycle and voltage of 

your model. See 

Maintenance 

Section

 for more information. 

Replace timer. 

B6 

All 

Air leaks. 

Remove electrical power from unit 

while it is pressurized.  Check purge 

ports and joints for significant leaks 

using soapy water. 

Repair as necessary using 

Teflon tape or thread sealer.

B7 

PHF 

PCDA 

PCME 

PHCA 

Check valve ball not 

seated properly. 

Remove desiccant towers, orifice 

plugs, and inspect condition of check 

ball and spring for excessive wear or 

damage. 

Replace check ball 

 and spring.
