3.2 Electronic controller 2
The valve blocks (on top and below) are actuated by solenoid valves in the controller which
determine the pressure and direction of the air flow in the desiccant cartridge.
3.3 Multiple distributor aJ

The standard design of the dryer is configured in such a way that the inlet openings are
on the left and the outlet openings on the right when looking at the front of the device. By
using the opening nozzles several different opening requirements become available. See
also section 5.4.
Outlet
Inlet
See the direction of the arrows Installation in corners

for inlet side of the dryer
3.4 Desiccant cartridge with integrated dust filter 9

The desiccant cartridges contain a drying agent which has been developed for drying
compressed air. The drying agent is contained in a transparent tube with end pieces which
allow the air to flow through at both ends. In the upper part of each cartridge is a 1 micron
filter to separate residual dust from the drying agent. The cartridge length varies with the
rated output of the dryer.
3.5 Reservoir 7
The desiccant cartridge is located in an extruded aluminium reservoir and has pressurised
end caps. The operating pressure and the flow through the individual cartridges is
controlled by the valve blocks positioned between the two reservoirs. The regenerative
air flow (purge air flow) is controlled by an external air nozzle with a small opening (front,
central) on the upper valve block, accessible by removing the cover.

4. Function
During dry operation an even, uninterrupted supply of compressed air should be provided
according to the specification.
This function is achieved with two compressed air reservoirs which operate in alternating
cycles. If air is being dried in one reservoir, the drying agent in the second reservoir can
regenerate.
In the adsorption dryer the main air flow is fed through the desiccant cartridge(s) of a
reservoir. This removes the moisture so the required pressure dew point can be achieved.
A small amount of the dry air (purge air) is fed to the other reservoir. The purge air flows
through the desiccant cartridge(s), escapes into the atmosphere through a drain valve and
thus regenerates the drying agent.
The regeneration cycle lasts 120 seconds. The corresponding drain valve is then closed.
This means the regenerated reservoir can be brought up to system pressure with the purge
air and can switch to the operating cycle. After a further 50 seconds the other reservoir
starts a new regenerative operating cycle.

5. Installation
5.1 Mounting the micro filter on the dryer

In order to protect the drying agent from
contaminated pressurised air the micro
filter MS6-LFM supplied must be mounted
on the inlet of the dryer. On delivery, the
three inlet options are on the left-hand side
of the dryer (see arrow). If an inlet on the
right-hand side is required the multiple
distributor in the cover of the dryer must be
turned (see chapter 5.4).
1. Select an inlet opening. 1

Remove any sealing plugs and attach
them to the unused inlet.
2. Insert a lightly greased O-ring 2 in
the slot of inlet 1.

torque is 15 Nm (for PDAD-...y) or
max 18 Nm (for PDAD-...½).
The module connecting plate 3 can
be adjusted 90° for horizontal instal-
lation of the dryer.

4. Insert flat seal 5 in the slot of the 3
module connecting plate 3 and
O-ring 6 in the slot of micro filter 5
MS 6-LFM.
5. Position micro filter MS6-LFM on the 6
dryer.
Observe the direction of flow from 1
to 2. The number 7 on the product
housing serves as a guide.
6. Place module connector 8 between
7
the micro filter MS6-LFM and the
dryer and then fit it using two screws.
The prominent edge of the modu-
le connector should be pointing
upwards. The tightening torque of the
screws is 1.2 Nm ±10%.
7. Connect the supplied 4 mm tubing 9
(outside diameter) to the condensate 8
drain of the micro filter. Connect the
other end of the tubing with the screw
QSL-F on the back of the dryer (upper
connection 'condensate inlet').
8. Connect the tubing with 4 mm diame-
ter (outside diameter) to screw QSL-F
on the back of the dryer (lower con-
nection 'condensate outlet'). Connect
the other end of the tubing with suita-
ble condensate collecting bowls.

Note
The micro filter MS6-LFM must be placed vertically (±5°) regardless of the installation
location of the dryer. Check that there is sufficient space below the filter bowl (min.
100 mm). When installing horizontally, support with suitable material.

6.3 Alarm connection
The electronic controller has an alarm relay with DIN connection. A visual or acoustic
remote alarm system can be connected outside the dryer with this DIN connection.
In the event of a fault or when servicing is required the alarm relay switches. At the same
time, red LEDs on the display panel show the fault which has occurred, see chapter 8.1.
When the fault is eliminated, the alarm relay resets, but only after the current switching
cycle has finished or the control device has been reset after a cartridge change.
In order to set up the remote alarm system a suitable cable must be fed through a rubber
grommet in the rear wall for electronic control.
1. Connect the switching pin of an alarm installation with the external power supply to
pins 1 and 2 of the DIN plug.
2. Remove the cover from the DIN connection marked 'Alarm' as described in number

Allocating the air nozzles for various operating pressures
For correct and effective operation, there must be a certain amount of purge air, dependent
on the operating pressure. By selecting the correct air nozzle, the amount of purge air
is adjusted for the operating pressure. An incorrectly selected air nozzle can lead to
premature failure of the dryer. The following table shows the allocation of the air nozzles
for the various operating pressures. The grey area marks the permitted operating pressure
range for the air nozzles included in the scope of delivery. If the operating pressure is
outside the marked area, an air nozzle from the air nozzle set is required, see chapter 10
