Danger:Improper installation of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the green grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you have any questions regarding grounding or if in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.

Section 5Theory of Operation5.1 Dehydrator
Thepatenteddryingsystembeginsatthecompressor, where filtered ambient air (refer to pipingschematicSection2)iscompressed.Thecompressedairisthencooledandcondensedintheheatexchangerafterwhichwaterdropletsare separated in the water filter. The saturated air then passes through a coalescing filter for theremovalofadditionalwaterandparticulateandthenintothepatentedmembranecartridgewheretheremainingwatervaporisremovedbypressuredifferential.
The water separated in the filters is blown toapanontheheadofthecompressorandisevaporatedbytheheatofcompression.The flow of the water is controlled by a timer controlledsolenoid.
Themembranetubeseparatesmoisturefromairbyapressuredifferentialacrosssemipermeablefibers.

Section 7In Case of Difficulty
Note: Run the dehydrator to dry it out prior to
connecting it to the system. Run it until the high humidity alarm clears (if so equipped). The drying process should take about 45 minutes, if the membrane dryer was not saturated. If the membrane dryer was saturated, drying may take up to 48 hours.
Caution:High voltage exists inside the unit. Disconnect the unit whenever performing troubleshooting operations.

Whenambientroomairiscompressedinthedehydratorcompressor,liquidwaterisformed.Thisliquidwatermustberemovedinordertoallowthemembranedryertofunctionatitspeakefficiency. As the air exits the compressor, it is cooledintheheatexchangerandthenentersinto the water filter. The air swirls around the inside of the filter bowl, separating the liquid water out on the sides of the filter bowl. A 5.0 micron filter is also provided in the water filter to prevent water droplets from exiting the filter. This 5.0 micron filter also filters out any dust particlesorothercontaminantswhichwouldlessen the efficiency of the membrane dryer.
To replace the filter element, twist and remove the filter bowl from the cast housing. Unscrew the filter element from the cast filter housing and replace with a new filter. Do not attempt to clean the filter element.
