regeneration monitor's memory, and move on to the next parameter, if desired.
• Press
repeatedly to review the new settings.
5-12 Auxiliary Process Safety System (Optional)
This option provides an extra level of protection from hopper meltdown due to a runaway heat
condition such as a fused heater contactor. When triggered, this system will drop out high voltage to all
heater contactors and blowers. This drastic action, to protect the resin and the drying hopper, will only
occur if a high temperature condition is not first handled by the ¼ DIN control [Section 4-1] on the
dryer subpanel and/or the heater contactor(s) is/are fused.

This option uses a signal processor identical to the one used in the regeneration monitoring system. It
monitors the process temperature through a thermocouple mounted at the drying hopper inlet. Only one
of the setpoints [H] is used. See Section 5-11 for instructions on setting the H setpoint.

The H setpoint should be the highest temperature tolerable at the drying hopper, before resin or drying
hopper degradation occurs. This temperature varies depending on the resin and the drying temperature,
but a suggested starting temperature is 75

5-13 Seven Day Timer (Optional)
The seven day timer can be programmed for weekly ON/OFF operation of up to sixteen setpoints. An
internal battery back-up holds the settings in memory when the dryer is de-energized.

operation.
• To bypass programmed operation, switch the manual override switch on the
seven day timer to the "ON" position.
• To execute programmed operations, set the manual override switch on the seven
day timer to the "RUN" position.
• To de-energize the seven day timer, set the manual override switch to the "OFF"
position.
The dryer will not run if the timer switch is "OFF".
Program 1 is operational, Program 2 is not used.
