5.14 DMC14 ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENT (AIR DRYER CONTROLLER)
set
DISPLAY
Through the digital thermometer with an alphanumerical display, the DMC14 controller shows the DewPoint
detected by the probe in the evaporator.
The
LED shows any alarm condition, it can happen when :
- pressure DewPoint is too high;
- pressure DewPoint is too low;
- the probe is faulty.
If the probe is faulty, the instrument also shows "PF" message (Probe Failure), and alarm activation is immediate. In
case of "DewPoint too low" condition (ASL parameter, that is fix and equal to 28.5° F or -2° C), the alarm signal is
delayed of a fix time (AdL parameter) equal to 30 sec, while for "DewPoint too high" condition the value (ASH
parameter) is set by the user and the signal is activated with AdH delay time, that can be also set up by the operator
(the instrument is already adjusted during final test of the dryer, please see following values). When DewPoint
returns into operating temperature (set range), the alarm condition is deactivated.
DMC14 allows also remote annunciation of the alarm condition of the dryer; this through a volt free contact on
terminals 8 & 9 - please also see electric drawings into the attachments (max 250V 1A, min 5VDC 10mA)
- with dryer off or in alarm conditions contact is open
- with dryer on and correct operating DewPoint, contact is closed.
OPERATION - After dryer starting, the electronic controller displays current operating DewPoint : it shows
the measured temperature in Celsius degrees ( ● °C) with a 0.5°C resolution, or in Fahrenheit degrees ( ●
°F) with a 1°F resolution.
