NOTE
Changes entered for timing values will be effective only after exiting the programming, while changes to other variables will be immediately

Remember that eventual changes to the configuration parameters of the machine could negatively affect its efficiency. Thus, changes have to be
performed by a person familiar with the operation of the dryer.

WARNING
It’s forbidden to attempt to modify the other configuration parameters of the electronic controller without authorization from Ingersoll Rand’s

The activation of the above function is at the User’s discretion. The User will purchase all necessary installation material. Any operation which needs
access to the dryer must be carried out by qualified personnel.

 BEFORE START UP

Before starting the machine, make sure that all operating parameters correspond to the nominal data.
The dryer is supplied already tested and preset for normal operation, and it doesn’t require any calibration.
Nevertheless, it’s necessary to check the operating performances during the first working hours.

 START UP
The operations specified below must be performed after the first start up and at each start up after a prolonged inactive period of time
due to maintenance operations, or any other reason.
1. Make sure that all instructions contained in chapters INSTALLATION SITE and INSTALLATION have been observed.
2. Ensure dryer by-pass is open and air inlet/outlet valves closed. (if existing).
3. Activate power supply and close the remote ON/OFF contact.
4. Wait 5 to 10 minutes until machine has achieved its standard operating parameters.
5. Slowly open the air outlet valve and successively open the air inlet valve.
6. If existent, close the air by-pass valve.
7. Check if the condensate drain is working properly.
8. Check if all connecting pipes are properly tightened and fixed.

Before disconnecting the dryer from electrical power supply, use ON/OFF button on controller to stop the dryer. Otherwise wait 10 minutes
before switching the dryer on again, in order to allow freon pressure to rebalance.
