E. Condensate enters the reservoir (1) through the inlet
port. When the condensate level in the reservoir covers
the capacitance sensor, an electronic signal is sent to the
solid state countdown processor. The processor delays
the opening of the solenoid valve for a given period
of time. Once the time has elapsed, the solid state
processor transmits information to energize the coil in
the solenoid valve (2). The magnetic force of the coil
causes the solenoid core (3) to move, closing the pilot air
supply line and opening the pilot air exhaust line. After
the pilot air above the diaphragm (4) is vented, pressure
in the reservoir opens the discharge port and forces
the condensate through the discharge port and outlet
piping.

3.0 MAINTENANCE
3.1 Condenser coil
A. Air-cooled - clean off accumulated dust and dirt monthly
or as necessary in dirty environments.
B. Water-cooled - clean strainer monthly, more often if
required. Shut off water, remove small plug to relieve
pressure, then remove large plug to remove strainer.
Clean strainer and replace.
3.2 Moisture Separator/Oil Removal Filter
NOTE: Prepackaged maintenance kits are available
that include all necessary filter and timed drain valve
components. Maintain maximum performance and
efficiency with Genuine Parts. See page 21 for ordering
Replace filter element when pressure drop across dryer is
excessive or annually.
Dryers have the option of one or two stages of filtration.
The directions for servicing either filter is identical.
When removing liquids at rated flow conditions, an
increase in pressure drop will occur as the separator/
filter elements become loaded with solid particles.
Procedure for Separator / Filter Element Replacement
THIS FILTER IS A PRESSURE CONTAINING DEVICE.
DEPRESSURIZE BEFORE SERVICING. If filter has not been
depressurized before disassembly, an audible alarm will sound
when the bowl begins to be removed from the head. If this
occurs, stop disassembly, isolate and completely depressurize
filter before proceeding.
1. Isolate dryer (close inlet and outlet valves if installed) or
shut off air supply.
2. Depressurize filter by slowly opening manual drain by-
pass valve.
3. Remove bowl
a. For models RNC100 through RNC150 - bayonet
mount - push bowl up, turn bowl 1/8th turn to your
left, and pull bowl straight down
b. For models RNC200 through RNC750 - threaded
bowls - unscrew bowl from head using hand, strap
wrench or C spanner.
4. Clean filter bowl
5. Replace moisture separator element.
a. Replacing complete Grade B element.
1) Pull off old element and discard
2) Make certain o-rings on male of replacement
element adaptor are in place and push element
into filter head.
NOTE: Do not handle Oil Removal Filter elements by outside
foam cover. Handle by bottom end cap only.
6. After making certain that o-ring inside top of bowl (and
on bayonet mount heads, wave spring) are in place,
reassemble bowl to head.
NOTE: Make certain o-ring is generously lubricated. (Use
lubricant provided)
NOTE: Wave spring ends should be pointed down to prevent
the wave spring from interfering with reassembly.
NOTE: Threaded bowl to head connection, generously
lubricate threads with a high grade/temperate lubricant 150
°F, 66°C. (Use lubricant provided).
7. Disassemble condensate drain valve(s).
8. Rebuild drain valves using Genuine Parts. See page 21
for ordering information.
3.3 Check separator daily to be sure automatic
drain is discharging.
NOTE: Units with two stage filtration have two sets of drains.

 WARRANTY
The manufacturer warrants the product manufactured by it, when properly installed, operated, applied, and maintained
in accordance with procedures and recommendations outlined in manufacturer’s instruction manuals, to be free from
defects in material or workmanship for a period as specified below, provided such defect is discovered and brought to the
manufacturer’s attention within the aforesaid warranty period.

The manufacturer will repair or replace any product or part determined to be defective by the manufacturer within the
warranty period, provided such defect occurred in normal service and not as a result of misuse, abuse, neglect or accident.
Normal maintenance items requiring routine replacement are not warranted. The warranty covers parts and labor for the
warranty period unless otherwise specified. Repair or replacement shall be made at the factory or the installation site, at the
sole option of the manufacturer. Any service performed on the product by anyone other than the manufacturer must first
be authorized by the manufacturer.

Unauthorized service voids the warranty and any resulting charge or subsequent claim will not be paid. Products repaired or
replaced under warranty shall be warranted for the unexpired portion of the warranty applying to the original product.

The foregoing is the exclusive remedy of any buyer of the manufacturer’s product. The maximum damages liability of the
manufacturer is the original purchase price of the product or part.

THE FOREGOING WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER WRITTEN, ORAL, OR STATUTORY,
AND IS EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE MANUFACTURER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE BY REASON OF STRICT LIABILITY IN
TORT OR ITS NEGLIGENCE IN WHATEVER MANNER INCLUDING DESIGN, MANUFACTURE OR INSPECTION OF THE EQUIPMENT OR ITS
FAILURE TO DISCOVER, REPORT, REPAIR, OR MODIFY LATENT DEFECTS INHERENT THEREIN.

THE MANUFACTURER, HIS REPRESENTATIVE OR DISTRIBUTOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR LOSS OF USE OF THE PRODUCT OR OTHER
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL COSTS, EXPENSES, OR DAMAGES INCURRED BY THE BUYER, WHETHER ARISING FROM BREACH OF
WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY IN TORT.

The manufacturer does not warrant any product, part, material, component, or accessory manufactured by others and sold
or supplied in connection with the sale of manufacturer’s products.

Warranty Period

Parts and labor for two (2) years from the date of shipment from the factory; heat exchangers are covered (parts only) for
an additional three (3) years (total of five [5]). On units that manufacturer requests be returned to the factory, a one time
removal/reinstallation labor allowance as noted in the Service Warranty Policies and Procedures Handbook will apply. Freight
to the factory from the installation site and to the installation site from the factory will be paid by the manufacturer; means
of transportation to be specified by manufacturer.

AUTHORIZATION FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS NECESSARY BEFORE MATERIAL

IS RETURNED TO THE FACTORY OR IN-WARRANTY REPAIRS ARE MADE.
