5. Installation
The SRC-150 to 1000 dryers are have Nema 1 protection against the ingress of moisture and
particles. They must be installed indoors or provided adequate protection against wind, rain and direct
sunlight. Faults occurring from improper installation are not covered by warranty.
•
Orient the unit so that there is adequate access to the control panel and drain compartment.
Verify that a minimum clearance of 5 ft (1.5 m) is left around the machine for maintenance access
and ventilation to the unit. For models with condenser fans in the top panel, leave at least 7 ft (2
m) above the dryer for adequate cooling air discharge.
•
Refer to the Operating Limits in Section 2 for details on maximum and minimum ambient
temperatures.
•
Verify that the power supply provided matches the the power supply indicated on the rating label
for the dryer.
•
Connect the supply power cables and ground in accordance with all applicable regulations.
•
Protect the dryer with an overcurrent and ground circuit breaker (0.3 Amps).
•
Connect the inlet and outlet compressed air piping connections to the dryer using the correct ports
as indicated on the dryer.
•
Install a bypass line around the dryer, and inlet and outlet isolation valves, so that maintenance or
calibration operations can be carried out without interrupting the downstream compressed air
supply.
Do not flow air through the dryer when it is OFF. Open they bypass line and close the inlet and
outlet isolation valves at all times when the dryer is in the OFF position.
•
Install a Sullair 1 micron coalescing pre-filter (SCF or PF) immediately upstream of the dryer to
prevent rust, pipe scale, bulk water, oil or other pollutants from entering the system and clogging
the heat exchangers, separator, or condensate drain. This can cause pressure drop, condensate
carry over, loss of efficiency, and or damage to the dryer.
Adequate Sullair pre-filtration may be a requirement for extended warranty coverage. Contact Sullair for
further details.
•
If necessary, protect the dryer from vibration using vibration dampeners and/or flexible hoses on
the inlet and outlet.
•
Also if necessary, protect the dryer from pulsation in the air stream by installing a upstream wet air
receiver.
