Location, transport and installation
Introduction
This section contains important information about the necessary operating conditions, trans-
port and installation of the adsorption dryers.
Areas of
Series AD adsorption dryers are suited for mobile or stationary use on building sites, in stor-
application
age rooms, cellars, garages, on boats and in caravans. AD adsorption dryers work without
problems in the temperature range from -10 °C to +35 °C and in the humidity range from 10
% to 95 % relative humidity.
Choosing the right
In case of connection and operation in accordance with its designated use the device gener-
location
ates a negative pressure in the operating room. As a result air, particles, smoke or gases can
be drawn in from outside or neighbouring rooms with potentially unexpected hazards due to
the effects on fireplaces and stoves or other equipment or due to any substances or materials
present there.
Assess this situation before using the adsorption dryer, and take appropriate preventive
measures, for example disconnection of devices or sealing-off of endangered rooms.
Inadequate loca-
The devices must not be used under the following conditions:
tions
• in rooms with potentially explosive atmospheres.
• in rooms with aggressive atmospheres, e.g. ammonia, wood acids, etc.
• in rooms with water with a pH value outside the range from 7.0 to 7.4.
• in rooms with salt or liquids with a salt content > 1% (incl. brine baths).
• in rooms with ozone-treated air.
• in rooms with high solvent concentration.
• in rooms with extreme dust load.
Transport
Step
Crushing hazard!
Warning
WARNING
The adsorption dryer is heavy.
• Use only the handle to carry the adsorption dryer.
Caution
• Do not reach into the openings.
Material damage
Warning
CAUTION
Pulling the power cable may damage the cable.
• Always disconnect the mains plug from the socket outlet before transport of the device.
Caution
• Always use the carrying handle to lift the device.
• In case of lower pH values there is risk of corrosion for all metals and risk of damage to
mortar-containing materials (joints). Higher pH values cause skin and mucous mem-
brane irritations and increased lime deposits.
Action
1
Report any obvious damage to the carrier, parcel service, postal service etc. im-
mediately on delivery and note down the damage on the shipping document or
carrier's document.
2
Remove the packaging material completely and dispose of according to the local
regulations.
3
Should any transport damage be detected after unpacking of the device, or
should the delivery be incomplete, contact your salesman in charge or specialised
dealer without delay.
4
Use the carrying handle to transport the adsorption dryer to the place of installa-
tion.
