10.2.4 Coolant
Temperature
Sensor Error (Alarm)
What it means:
Temperature sensor B2 (Coolant temperature) is short-circuited, open, or getting a
signal outside it’s range (-10
o
C to +90°C).
What it does:
Cuts power to compressor contactor & alarm contacts. Turns dryer OFF. Turns on
Warning Light & blinks “rSE” on the digital display.
To Reset:
Find the cause of the alarm and fix the problem.
Press ALARM RESET to clear alarm. Power restored to alarm relay, Warning Light
goes off. Dryer remains OFF. Display clears.
Press ON/OFF to restart dryer.
Notes:
Alarm can only be cleared if sensor reading is within limits.
10.2.5 High Dewpoint (Warning)
Cause:
Temperature sensor B1 (dewpoint temperature) is registering a temperature above
the High Dewpoint Warning Setting (parameter A6: Default 15
o
C) for more than 3
minutes.
Result:
Cuts power to the alarm contacts. Turns on Warning Light & alternates between
“Hd” and the dewpoint reading on the digital display.
Possible Causes & Remedies:
1) High ambient temperature
in the compressor room due to:
a. Warm
weather,
b. Poor compressor room ventilation,
c. Poorly located dryer (restricted air flow through the condenser),
d. Compressor aftercooler is exhausting warm air near the dryer.
Remedy - increase ventilation to the compressor room, duct the compressor after-
cooler out of the room, or move the dryer to a cooler location.
2) Excessive thermal load on the dryer due to excessive air flow rate and/or air inlet
temperature. (Can be confirmed using the instructions in Section 13.)
Remedy – Improve the efficiency of the aftercooler on the compressor, install an
additional or larger air or water cooled aftercooler upstream the dryer, or install a
larger dryer. If the overload is limited to a very short period of time, this alarm can
be avoided by partially opening the air by pass line to reduce the load to the dryer.
Please note that this will significantly increase the downstream dew point.
