DNFT Installation remove magnet housing. Do not remove

magnet, spring, or spacer from magnet
Figure: Typical DNFT Magnet Assemblies housing.
2. Remove piston enclosure plug from the end
of desired divider valve. The DNFT installs on
any of the divider valves of the divider block.
The DNFT requires the correct magnet
assembly to match the divider valve
manufacturer.
NOTE: Do not install a DNFT on Lincoln divider valves
with cycle indicator pins.
3. If applicable, verify O-ring or metal gasket is
in place on magnet housing. Thread magnet
housing into the end of the divider valve.
Torque to 15 lbs x ft (20 N•m) maximum.
4. Slide DNFT all the way onto hex of magnet
housing. Torque Allen set screws on the hex
1 Trabon Style O-ring Seal 7/16-20 of magnet housing to 25 lbs x inch, (2.8 N•m)
2 Trabon Metal Gasket Seal 7/16-20 (1994 or earlier) maximum.
3 Lincoln O-Ring Seal 7/16-20 Extended Nose 5. The LED on the DNFT indicates each divider
valve cycle to allow lubricator pump
Figure: Typical DNFT Installation adjustment for Ariel recommended cycle
time and oil consumption. If the LED fails to
blink during compressor operation or by
manually pumping oil into the divider valve,
then the DNFT requires adjustment.
6. The divider valve must cycle during DNFT
adjustment. To cycle, either run the
compressor or manually pump oil through
the distribution block with a purge pump.
7. To adjust, slide DNFT all the way onto hex of
magnet housing. Tighten Allen set screws to

9. After DNFT installation and before

compressor start-up, purge all air from the
divider block lubrication system with a purge
pump.
NOTE: When installing multiple DNFTs, wire each to a
separate alarm circuit of the control panel, annunci-
ator, or PLC to simplify lubrication system and DNFT
troubleshooting. Always secure the green ground
wire to "earth ground" in the control panel. Do not
ground to electrical conduit or skid. Improper
grounding can result in unreliable monitor operation.
