9. The Freezing Type Dryer may normally run whereas low-effectively performs:
It is mainly because the changed case caused the refrigerating system condition transformed and the flow rate is out of the regulation range of the expanding valve. Here it is necessary to adjust it manually.
When adjust valves, the turning range shall be little by 1/4—1/2 circle at one time. Where after operate this equipment for 10—20 minutes, check the performance and by it to decide if readjustment is needed anymore.
As we know that the air dryer is complex system which consists of four big units and many accessories, that are interactively effective to each other. Hereby in case trouble occurs, we shall not only pay attention to one part but also take overall inspection and analysis to eliminate suspicious parts step by step and finally find out the cause.
In addition when repair or maintenance works performed for the air dryer, user shall pay attention to preventing refrigeration system from being damaged, especially the damages to capillary tubes. Otherwise refrigerant leaking may engendered.

3 Basic Operating Principle
3.1 Compressor control
After controller powered on, the compressor will delay for a moment to protect itself (F21). The indicator light will flicker at the same time. If checked external input is alarming, the compressor will stop.
3.2 Fan control
Fan default under control of condensing temperature. It will open when temperature is higher than (including) set point (F42) , closed when lower than the set point – return difference (F43) . If condensation sensor fails, the fan output along with the compressor.
3.3 External alarm
When external alarm occurs, stop the compressor and fan. External alarm signal has 5 modes (F50): 0: without external alarm, 1: always open, unlocked, 2: always open, locked; 3: always closed, unlocked; 4: always closed, locked. “Always open” means in normal state, external alarm signal is open, if closed, the controller is alarm; “Always closed” is on the contrary. “Locked” means that when external alarm signal becomes normal, the controller is still in the alarm state, and it needs to press any key to resume.
3.4 Command
In order to prevent irrespective persons from changing the parameters, you can set a password (F80), and if you have set a password, the controller will hint you to enter the password after you press the key “M” for 5 seconds, you must enter the correct password, and then you can set the parameters. If you don’t need the password, you can set F80 to “0000”. Notice that you must remember the password, and if you forget the password, you can not enter the set state.
5 Notes
Please use the temperature sensor allocated by our company.
If compressor power is less than 1.5HP, can direct control by internal relay. Otherwise need to connect ac contactor.
Fan loaded with no more than 200w.
