G5C Dryers
1.6 Use
The use of a dryer is recommended for nearly all compressed air applications, but especially when high purity and low moisture
content is required, such as in the pharmaceutical & food industry, medical applications and for coating & painting applications.
1.7 General Safety Instructions
Read this manual carefully before performing any operation. This machine has been designed and manufactured to be used only as
described below. The supplier is not responsable for difficulties associated with operation other than the intended use or operation
that is not in compliance with the instructions mentioned in this manual. All maintenance or cleaning operations involving interior
parts must be performed by trained technicians only.
ALWAYS:
• Always be familiar with all controls.
• Always be sure that the dryer is isolated from the compressed air network (inlet and outlet valves closed) and that internal
pressure has been released before performing any maintenance.
• Always disconnect electrical power and allow 15 minutes for the inner parts to cool down before removing the protection panels.
• Always be sure to disconnect electrical power before removing the cooling fan protection grill.
• Always be sure that all protection panels are properly attached during operation and after any maintenance operation.
NEVER:
• Never place flammable objects near the dryer.
• Never use the dryer if the power cable is faulty or the connection is not safe.
• Never allow anyone to operate the dryer without giving him/her proper instructions.
• Never make any alterations to safety parts.
• Never strike or use excessive force on internal parts.
• Never touch any part of the cooling circuit when the machine is running. They are very hot!
• Never drain the condensate directly into the sewage system... request PSB-General Air oil/water separator information
All installation, use and maintenance operations must be perfomed according to the instructions detailed in this manual. All
dryer maintenance should only be performed by qualified personnel taking the proper safety precautions.
2.0 MACHINE UNPACKING AND HANDLING
2.1 Unpacking and Handling
The dryer is shipped on a wooden skid and packaged in a protective cardboard carton with banding straps. The package must
always be lifted from the bottom and must be kept in an upright position at all times. Unpack the dryer by cutting straps (always
wear safety gloves and eye protection and cut either with scissors or cutting nippers), removing the carton from the top and moving
the dryer from the wooden pallet to the chosen position.
2.2 Package Disposal
It is recommended that the packaging materials be retained at least thoughout the warranty period. Should the dryer need to be
transported for service, the original packaging will allow for easier and safer shipping.
2.3 Returned Equipment
•
•
•
Repack the dryer in its original carton or with one of the same dimensions.
The dryer must be kept vertical and packed as supplied from the manufacturer.
Do not transport the dryer without proper packing, shipment damage remains the responsibility of the sender.
Materials returned without proper packing and authorization documents will not be accepted.

3.0 SET-UP
3.1 Positioning
The dryer should be located in an area with a flat floor and protection against weather conditions and, if possible, direct sun light.
The area must also be properly ventilated (& heated, if necessary) so that the temperature is kept between 40 °F and 110 °F when the
dryer is running (remember that the operating dryer will add heat to the room). It must also be large enough to allow at least three
feet of free space adjacent to both the condenser air inlet and outlet grills to allow for proper unit cooling.
3.2 Installation
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Air by-pass piping is recommended to allow uninterrupted air service during instances of maintenance of repair.
Prior to installation check to insure that the compressed air piping is free of debris or other contaminants.
Connect the dryer to the compressed air line in accordance with one of the diagrams shown in section 11 and per unit labeling.
Always use a back-up wrench to prevent damage to the connections during piping of the air inlet and outlet.
Make sure that line power agrees with the unit data plate and the service complies with local electrical codes.
Always include a fused safety switch in the line power supply (refer to data plate amperage for proper selection).
A particulate filter is recommended at the air inlet to avoid any deposit of solid particles into the dryer.
Position the dryer so that all controls can be easily read and so that all maintenance operations are easily performed.
Connect the condensate drain tube in compliance with local regulations. The condensate is a pollutant and cannot be drained
directly into the sewage system. A Motivair oil/water separator of suitable capacity is recommended.
3.3 Filling The Thermal Mass Reservoir
•
•
•
Remove the threaded plug (A) from the fill port located on the top panel of the dryer.
Slowly fill the reservoir with clean, tap water until it can be seen coming from the flexible overflow tube (B) at the rear of the dryer.
Replace the fill port plug.
3.4 Start-Up
•
•
•
•
Close inlet and outlet valves, switch on S1 and ON/OFF (hold for 3 seconds), and check for the pilot light on the control panel.
Allow the dryer to run until the word “ICE” appears in the digital display (usually about 15 minutes).
Open the outlet air valve completely and then gradually pressurize the dryer by slowly opening the inlet air valve.
Compressed air flow rates in excess of rating will reduce performance but will not compromise safety.

8.0 ZERO-LOSS DRAIN TRAP
8.1 Operation
•
•
The Zero-loss drain is designed to remove condensate from any compressed air application
without air loss. It is completely automatic, and requires no external settings or
adjustments.
A two-stage condensate level sensor installed in the trap’s internal cavity signals both the
beginning and the end of the discharge cycle so the trap discharges only liquid and no air is
wasted regardless of load.
•
•
At start-up, purge any air from the trap’s inlet connection by pushing the TEST button
several times.
The factory-installed inlet filter should be examined and cleaned daily for the first week of
operation, and monthly thereafter.
8.2 Controls
•
•
•
Green LED:
Red LED:
Pushbutton:
Electrical Power ON
Discharge Solenoid Energized (valve open)
Discharge TEST (Open Valve Manually)
8.3 Maintenance
