5.16 DMC14 ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENT (AIR DRYER CONTROLLER)
set
DISPLAY
The DMC14 controller performs a double function : through the digital thermometer with an alphanumerical
display it shows the DewPoint detected by the probe in the evaporator; it controls the functioning of
condensate drain solenoid valve through the cyclic electronic timer.
The LED indicates any alarm conditions, that may occur when:
- The DewPoint is too high;
- The DewPoint is too low;
- the probe is damaged.
If the probe is damaged the instrument displays the message "PF" (Probe Failure), and the alarm goes off
immediately. In case of alarm for a very low DewPoint (ASL fixed parameter equal to -2°C) the signal is
delayed by a fixed time (AdL parameter) of 30 sec, whereas in case of alarm for a very high the threshold value
(ASH parameter) can be set by the user and delayed by an AdH value, which can also be programmed (the
instrument has default settings that are indicated below). As soon as the DewPoint falls back into the set
temperature range the alarm is disabled.
DMC14 allows also remote annunciation of this alarm condition of the dryer :
- with dryer off or in alarm conditions there is no voltage from terminal 4 and 9 of electronic instrument
(please also see electric drawings into the attachments);
- whereas, with dryer on and correct operating DewPoint, there is voltage from terminal 4 and 9 of
electronic instrument (please also see electric drawings into the attachments).
OPERATION - When the dryer is switched on, the instrument displays the current DewPoint: display
indicates the temperature measured, expressed in Celsius (
●
°F) with a resolution of 1°F.
