1.1 Location
A. Air compressor intake - Locate air compressor so that
contaminants potentially harmful to the dryer are not
drawn into the air system.
B. Free air flow - Do not block either side of the cabinet.
Observe minimum installation clearances as shown.
1.2 Mounting
Dryer is suitable for floor or shelf mounting.
2. Location in the compressed air system
A. Maximum working pressure - 250 psig,
17.6 kgf/cm2. Do not exceed unit’s Maximum Working
Pressure.
1) For maximum capacity, install unit in air system at
highest pressure possible (e.g. before pressure reducing valves)
2) For maximum capacity, install unit at coolest compressed air temperature possible. Maximum inlet
compressed air temperature: 180°F, 82°C. If inlet air
exceeds this temperature, precool the air by extending the piping between the compressor and the
dryer.
B. Air Outlet - Connect air outlet to downstream air lines.
C. By-pass piping - If servicing the unit without interrupting
the air supply is desired, piping should include inlet and
outlet isolation valves and an air by-pass valve.
D. Condensate drain - It is advisable to connect drain outlet
to the condensate drainage system.
NOTE: Drain discharge is at system pressure. Drain line
should be anchored to prevent whipping.
1.3 Piping connections
A. Air Inlet - Connect compressed
air line from air compressor to air
inlet using strainer supplied.
1. Install strainer (included in
shipping carton) prior to
dryer inlet using pipe nipple
supplied or other piping as
required.
NOTE: Observe flow direction arrows on strainer.
NOTE: Install strainer where it is easily accessible for cleaning.
NOTE: Use vibration dampener, if vibration exists in air line at
inlet to dryer.

1.4 Electrical connections
A. Dryer is designed to operate on power supply (voltage)
listed on serial number tag located on the back of the
dryer.
B. Dryer is supplied with an electrical cord. Install in recep-
tacle of proper voltage.
NOTE: Models 50 and 75 (115v only) - Install plug
in receptacle rated for 20 amps. Units are supplied
with 20 amp plug.

NOTE: Refrigeration system is designed to run continuously
and should NOT be wired to cycle on/off with the air compressor.

WARRANTY
The manufacturer warrants the product it manufactures, when properly installed, operated, applied, and maintained in accordance with
procedures and recommendations outlined in manufacturer’s instruction manuals, will be free from defects in material or workmanship
for a period as specified below, provided such defect is discovered and brought to the manufacturer’s attention within the aforesaid
warranty period.
The manufacturer will repair or replace any product or part determined to be defective by the manufacturer within the warranty period,
provided such defect occurred in normal service and not as a result of misuse, abuse, neglect or accident. Normal maintenance items
requiring routine replacement are not warranted. The warranty covers parts and labor for the warranty period unless otherwise specified.
Repair or replacement shall be made at the factory or the installation site, at the sole discretion of the manufacturer. Although not required
for warranty consideration, it is recommended that the manufacture be contacted prior to doing any warranty related service work. This
action will provide guidance and instruction on the repair often times authorization to perform the work. NOTE: The manufacture reserves
the right to repair, replace in the case of warranty approval or reject the warranty claim once submitted.
Unauthorized service and use of unauthorized or pirated parts voids the warranty and any resulting charges or subsequent claim will
not be paid. Products repaired or replaced under warranty shall be warranted for the unexpired portion of the warranty applying to the
original product.
The foregoing is the exclusive remedy of any buyer of the manufacturer’s product. The maximum damages liability of the manufacturer
is the original purchase price of the product or part.
THE FOREGOING WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER WRITTEN, ORAL, OR STATUTORY, AND IS EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
THE MANUFACTURER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE BY REASON OF STRICT LIABILITY IN TORT OR ITS NEGLIGENCE IN WHATEVER
MANNER INCLUDING DESIGN, MANUFACTURE OR INSPECTION OF THE EQUIPMENT OR ITS FAILURE TO DISCOVER, REPORT, REPAIR, OR MODIFY
LATENT DEFECTS INHERENT THEREIN. THE MANUFACTURER, HIS REPRESENTATIVE OR DISTRIBUTOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR LOSS OF USE OF
THE PRODUCT OR OTHER INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL COSTS, EXPENSES, OR DAMAGES INCURRED BY THE BUYER, WHETHER ARISING FROM
BREACH OF WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY IN TORT.
Please note that the manufacturer’s warranty for this product is intended to cover manufacturing defects and therefore does not cover
consumable components (desiccants, filter elements, soft goods, standard maintenance kit wear items, etc.) or components that require
periodic user adjustment (expansion valve, hot gas bypass valve or cooling water regulating valve) or calibration (dew point elements/
sensors, gauge calibration, etc.)
Warranty Period
Parts and labor for two (2) years from the date of shipment from the factory.
An extended warranty of up to 5 years from the date of purchase may be available for your dryer. Please contact your local distributor for
more details of the requirements for activation of warranty extension
.
AUTHORIZATION FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS NECESSARY BEFORE MATERIAL IS
RETURNED TO THE FACTORY OR IN-WARRANTY REPAIRS ARE MADE.
