1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 Functional description
FST refrigerated air dryers remove moisture from compressed air. Moisture is detrimental to pneumatically operated appliances,
controls, instruments, machinery and tools.
Compressed air enters the patented aluminum heat exchanger where it is cooled down to the dew point temperature in two different
stages: In the first air/air sector compressed inlet air is cooled thanks to the colder compressed air coming out counterflow from the
condensate separator. In the second refrigerant / air sector, compressed air temperature is further lowered to the dew point
temperature. During this two stages almost all the oil and water vapours contained in compressed air are condensed to liquid and
successively be separated from the compressed air in the condensate separator and drained out by the automatic drain. At this point
the obtained cold air re-enters counterflow the initial air / air exchanger and it is reheated by the inlet hot air with the consequence of
energy recovering and also reduction of the relative humidity contained in the outflowing air.
This dryer can be easily installed into various pneumatic systems in which dry air is required or desired. Please refer to Principles of
Operation for complete operating details.
The dryer comes provided with all the control, safety and adjustment devices, therefore no auxiliary devices are needed.
A system overload not exceeding the maximum operative limits can worsen the operational performance of the dryer (high
dew point), but it will not affect its safety.
The electric diagram (attachment B) shows the minimum protection degree IP 42.
Improper grounding can result in electrical shock and can cause severe injury or death.
This product must be connected to a grounded, metallic, permanent wiring system or an equipment-grounding terminal or
lead on the product.
All grounding must be performed by a qualified electrician and comply with national and local electrical codes.
In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current.
Ground must be established with a bare grounding wire sized according to the voltage and minimum branch circuit
requirements.
Ensure good bare metal contact at all grounding connection points, and ensure all connections are clean and tight.
Check grounding connections after initial installation and periodically thereafter to ensure good contact and continuity has
been maintained.
Check with a qualified electrician or service technician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in
doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.
1.2 Use of the machine in safe conditions
This system has been designed and manufactured in compliance with the European safety directive in force and UL/ULC, therefore
any installation, use and maintenance operations must be performed respecting the instructions contained in this manual.
Because an air dryer is pressurized and contains rotating parts, the same precautions should be observed as with any piece of
machinery of this type where carelessness in operation or maintenance could be hazardous to personnel. In addition to obvious safety
rules that should be followed with this type of machinery, safety precautions as listed below must be observed.
1. Only qualified personnel shall be permitted to adjust, perform maintenance or repair this air dryer.
2. Read all instructions completely before operating unit.
3. Pull main electrical disconnect switch and disconnect any separate control lines, if used, before attempting to
work or perform maintenance on the unit.
4. Do not attempt to service any part while machine is in an operational mode.
5. Do not attempt to remove any parts without first relieving the entire air system of pressure.

2.3 Information about remaining risks of the equipment
Fire:
This equipment, in accordance to EN-378-2, isn’t supplied with freon drain safety valve.
In case of fire it is preferable to use fire extinguishers or extinction systems basically composed of powder or foam or carbon dioxide: it is possible to
cool the equipment thanks to nebulized water.
Avoid the massive use of water because, in case of freon gas leak, the chemical reaction can cause caustic effects, even if small.
In any case it is necessary to cool down the ambient and/or the equipment’s temperature and before any intervention wait until the temperature has
been reduced.
Therefore it is preferable to insert this equipment into the Fire Prevention and Factory Safety Plan.
Arrange adequate actions capable to prevent and fight the possible risk.
Dispersion of freon gas in the ambient:
the refrigerant means is toxic only if inhaled at high concentration: it is necessary to provide an adequate ventilation in the room where the equipment
is installed.
In any case check the scheme showing the values and the risk sentences.
Excessive pressure on the compressed air side:
this equipment isn’t supplied with safety devices on the compressed air side.
The safety devices on the compressed air side must be carried out by the installer.
Such devices will have to be carried out according to the applicable National Norms and to the limits mentioned in this Manual.
Ozone layer deterioration:
The adoption of HFC freon reduce to the minimum ozone layer deterioration and greenhouse effect.

The machine must be protected from atmospheric agents and not directly exposed to sun light.
A seating base flat and capable to hold the weight of the machine.
Ambient temperature complying with the nominal data of the dryer.
The dryer should be located in a clean area, without forced air draft that can affect the fan control system.
Make sure to leave sufficient clearance (40 inches, 1 m) around the dryer in order to allow an adequate cooling
of the machine and for maintenance and/or control operations.
The incoming air must be free from smoke or flammable vapours which could lead to explosion or fire risks.
3.3 Unpacking
The packaging is made of carton or of cellophane. We recommend that you keep the original packaging for the device in case it has to
be transported to another location or sent to a service center. Dispose the various packaging materials in compliance with the relevant
rules locally in force.
•unpack the device, removing the strapping from the carton. Always wear safety gloves when using scissors or other tools to cut the
straps or the cellophane;
• remove the carton or the cellophane;
• in case it’s necessary another handling of the device, refer to section 3.1;
• remove the pallet (if present);
• remove the operating manual, accessories and key from the device.
3.4 Installation
Before attempting any installation operation, make sure that
No parts of the air system are under pressure.
No parts of the system are electrically powered.
Tubing to be connected to the dryer are free of impurities.
The pipes to be connected to the dryer does not weigh on the device.
All interconnecting piping has been tightened.
After having verified the points listed above, you can proceed to the installation of the machine.
1. Connect the dryer to the compressed air lines. If not already existing, we suggest to install a by-pass allowing to
isolate the machine from the plant, thus to facilitate eventual maintenance operations.
2. Perform the electrical connection in accordance with any local laws and regulations after reviewing the dryer
electrical specifications and wiring diagram.
3. Check the condensate drainage assembly, and connect the drain flexible hose to the draining line, keeping in
mind that the condensate separated by the dryer may contain oil, therefore, in order to dispose of it in
compliance with the local rules in force, we suggest installing a water-oil separator having adequate
capacity.
4. Power the dryer after having checked that the nominal voltage and line frequency are constant and matching the
nominal values of the machine. The user must provide the installation with an adequate line protection and a ground terminal complying with the electrical rules locally in force.
In order to optimise the use of the dryer, we suggest to place it in such a way that all the control instruments of the
machine will result easily visible.
A suitably sized prefilter must be installed before the dryer. Failure to install and maintain a proper prefilter will
void the dryer warranty. The rating for this filter must be at least 10 micron.
It is necessary for the user to install a protective device (a safety accessory) to protect the equipment under
pressure from the risk of exceeding the maximum allowable pressure (PS); it is necessary to install a protective
device to protect the equipment at high temperature from the risk of exceeding the maximum allowable
temperature.

6.10 REMOTE CONTROLS
6.10.1 Remote ON/OFF
The dryer can be remotely started and stopped (REMOTE ON/OFF). Proceed as follow to activate this function:
1. Disconnect the dryer from electrical supply and open the electrical box.
2. Remove the bridge between the two terminal blocks marked with “ON/OFF” (See electric wiring diagram).
3. Connect the “ON/OFF” terminal blocks to remote a unipolar switch.
Remote ON/OFF digital input is configured as follow: close contact = dryer ON.

•
•
•
•
When the dryer is switched off using remote OFF command, the controller shows on upper display line
the message “OFF” and the remote ON/OFF led blinks.
The remote OFF function disables the ON function from the dryer’s control board (until the ON function
is activated from remote ON/OFF switch). To restart the dryer it’s necessary to operate on the remote
control.
The activation of the above function is at the user’s discretion. The user will purchase all necessary
installation materials himself. Any operation which needs access to the dryer must be carried out by
qualified personnel.
6.10.2 Remote signalling alarm
The dryer control board is supplied complete with a digital output configured as remote signalling alarm. This digital output is controlled
by a relays configured as normally open: when an alarm is detected, these relays close a circuit. The status of the relays can be
inverted, if necessary, using AL18 programming parameter (See 6.6.2 Parameters table).
Proceed as follows to activate a remote alarm output:
1. The User must provide a signaller in compliance to output relays electrical features (solenoid coil, light bulb, acoustic signaller,
...).
2. Disconnect the dryer from the electrical supply and open the electrical box.
3. Connect the signaller on “REMOTE ALARM” terminal blocks (See electric wiring diagram).
The activation of the above function is at the user’s discretion. The user will purchase all necessary
installation materials himself. Any operation which needs access to the dryer must be carried out by
qualified personnel.

Cleaning of the drain solenoid valve
8.2 INTEGRATED NO LOSS DRAIN
Level sensor (Reed) for integrated No loss drain
The level sensor allows the electronic controller to activate the solenoid valve only if need, without compressed air loss,
measuring the condensate level into the separator tank.
If the float remains blocked in its open position, causing loss of compressed air, the electronic controller switches to timed
mode until the level sensor restores the normal operation.
The electronic drain discharge is supplied completely with an output
Electronic drain discharge is the new discharger applicable to any
compressed air systems. It eliminates the condensate without
wasting compressed air.
Electronic drain discharge starts automatically, without the need
of any adjustment. The condensate discharge occurs to the use of
an electronic sensor, which detects the amount of condensate in
the integrated water collecting tank. The level sensor drives start
and duration of the drainage, so preventing any wasting of
compressed air.
At the end of installation, put the system under pressure and push
the TEST key repeatedly to eliminate the air bubbles contained in
the discharger inlet fittings.
Please refer to the attached CD of the discharger for complete
instructions.
To this discharger will be applied the Beko warranty conditions.
configured as remote signalling alarm.
Proceed as follows to activate a remote alarm output:
1.The User must provide a signaller in compliance to output relay
electrical features (solenoid coil, light bulb, acoustic signaller, ...).
2. Disconnect the dryer from electrical feeding and open the electrical
box.
3. Connect the signaller on “BEKO DISCHARGER ALARM” terminal
blocks (See electric wiring diagram).
Alarm Output relays electric features:
Voltage <250Vac
max. current <1,0A
Activation of the above function is on User’s discretion. The User will purchase all necessary installation
material by himself. Any operation which needs access to the dryer must be carried out by qualified personnel.
8.4 Maintenance and malfunctioning treatment
Should the discharger not operate correctly, try to act on the TEST key to clean the mesh
filter.
Never remove the discharger body. Should the malfunctioning persist, contact our Customer
Service.
Before carrying out any work on the electrical parts, make sure that the main switch interrupts
the electricity supply to the dryer and then affix appropriate warning signs to avoid the
machine being reconnected to the electricity mains!
All work on the dryer may only be carried out by specialist personnel!
Follow this procedure if you need to shut down the dryer:
• Stop the device and permanently isolate it from the electricity mains;
• Disconnect the power cable;
• Take pressure off the air circuit;
• Empty the tank and the internal cooling medium circuits;
• If the device has to be dispatched, use the original or similar packaging and keep the device in an up-right position.
Before carrying out any work on the electrical parts, make sure that the main switch interrupts the electricity supply to the
dryer and then affix appropriate warning signs to avoid the machine being reconnected to the electricity mains!
Please consult the contents and the safety instructions in the relevant sections of these instructions for details of the correct
handling and storage of the chiller. Remove any residual cooling medium from the dryer in a manner appropriate to its
properties and in accordance with the legislation in force.
If the device has to be demolished: Never open the sealed cooling assembly (compressor, evaporator and condenser) if
there may be any refrigerant or lubricating oil present!
Send the chiller to an approved waste disposal company in accordance with current environmental protection legislation. The
other materials/waste constituents must be treated in line with the provisions of the valid legislation.
