1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Ingersoll Rand refrigerated air dryers remove moisture from compressed air. Moisture is detrimental to pneumatically operated
appliances, controls, instruments, machinery and tools.
Compressed air enters the patented aluminum heat exchanger where it is cooled down to the dew point temperature in two different
stages: In the first air/air sector compressed inlet air is cooled thanks to the colder compressed air coming out counterflow from the
condensate separator. In the second refrigerant / air sector, compressed air temperature is further lowered to the dew point temperature.
During this two stages almost all the oil and water vapours contained in compressed air are condensed to liquid and successively be
separated from the compressed air in the condensate separator and drained out by the automatic drain. At this point the obtained cold
air re-enters counterflow the initial air / air exchanger and it is reheated by the inlet hot air with the consequence of energy rec overing
and also reduction of the relative humidity contained in the outflowing air.
This dryer can be easily installed into various pneumatic systems in which dry air is required or desired. Please refer to Principles
of Operation for complete operating details.
The dryer comes provided with all the control, safety and adjustment devices, therefore no auxiliary devices are needed.
A system overload not exceeding the maximum operative limits can worsen the operational performance of the dryer (high
dew point), but it will not affect its safety.
The electric diagram (attachment B) shows the minimum protection degree IP 42.
Improper grounding can result in electrical shock and can cause severe injury or death.
This product must be connected to a grounded, metallic, permanent wiring system or an equipment-grounding terminal or
lead on the product.
All grounding must be performed by a qualified electrician and comply with national and local electrical codes.
In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current.
Ground must be established with a bare grounding wire sized according to the voltage and minimum branch circuit
requirements.
Ensure good bare metal contact at all grounding connection points, and ensure all connections are clean and tight.
Check grounding connections after initial installation and periodically thereafter to ensure good contact and continuity has
been maintained.
Check with a qualified electrician or service technician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in
doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.
This dryer is designed to work only with compressed air. For a different use, please contact your
distributor Ingersoll Rand.

2.1 ACCEPTANCE AND HANDLING
Upon receiving your Ingersoll Rand air dryer, please inspect the unit closely. If rough handling is detected, please note it on your
delivery receipt, especially if the dryer will not be uncrated immediately. Then obtain the freight carrier's signed agreement to any noted
damages: this is a precondition for any insurance claims by the customer.
It is mandatory to keep the dryer always in vertical position, as indicated by the symbols present on the packaging. For handling, use
devices having sufficient capacity for the weight of the machine.
Remove the packaging after having positioned the dryer in the installation site. For unpacking, refer to section 2.3.
Under no circumstances should any person attempt to lift heavy objects without proper lifting equipment (i.e., crane, hoist, slings or fork
truck). Lifting any unit without proper lifting equipment, may cause serious injury. Use fork lift channels where provided.
The machine must be protected from atmospheric agents and not directly exposed to sun light.
A seating base flat and capable to hold the weight of the machine.
Ambient temperature complying with the nominal data of the dryer.
The dryer should be located in a clean area, without forced air draft that can affect the fan control system.
Make sure to leave sufficient clearance (20 inches, 500 mm) around the dryer in order to allow an adequate cooling
of the machine and for maintenance and/or control operations.
The incoming air must be free from smoke or flammable vapours which could lead to explosion or fire risks.
2.3 UNPACKING
The packaging is made of carton or of cellophane. We recommend that you keep the original packaging for the device in case it has to
be transported to another location or sent to a service center. Dispose the various packaging materials in compliance with the relevant
rules locally in force.

2.4 INSTALLATION
Before attempting any installation operation, make sure that
No parts of the air system are under pressure.
No parts of the system are electrically powered.
Tubing to be connected to the dryer are free of impurities.
The pipes to be connected to the dryer does not weigh on the device.
All interconnecting piping has been tightened.
After having verified the points listed above, you can proceed to the installation of the machine.
1. Connect the dryer to the compressed air lines. If not already existing, we suggest to install a by-pass allowing to
isolate the machine from the plant, thus to facilitate eventual maintenance operations.
2. Perform the electrical connection in accordance with any local laws and regulations after reviewing the dryer
electrical specifications and wiring diagram.
3. Check the condensate drainage assembly, and connect the drain flexible hose to the draining line, keeping in
mind that the condensate separated by the dryer may contain oil, therefore, in order to dispose of it in
compliance with the local rules in force, we suggest installing a water-oil separator having adequate
capacity.
4. Power the dryer after having checked that the nominal voltage and line frequency are constant and matching the
nominal values of the machine. The user must provide the installation with an adequate line protection and
a ground terminal complying with the electrical rules locally in force.
In order to optimise the use of the dryer, we suggest to place it in such a way that all the control instruments of the machine
will result easily visible.
A suitably sized prefilter must be installed before the dryer. Failure to install and maintain a proper prefilter will
void the dryer warranty. The rating for this filter must be at least 10 micron.
It is necessary for the user to install a protective device (a safety accessory) to protect the equipment under
pressure from the risk of exceeding the maximum allowable pressure (PS); it is necessary to install a protective
device to protect the equipment at high temperature from the risk of exceeding the maximum allowable
temperature.
IMPORTANT: install a protective device (Voltage stabilizer) to protect the equipment in case of maximum mains
voltage fluctuations exceed the value of ±10%. (only on single-phase devices) !
3. START UP
Ensure that the dryer is by−passed, or there is no load on the cooler.
Switch on the main electrical isolation switch (if present). The control panel will show the message OFF, indicating that the line and
control voltages are available.
Start sequence
The dryer will initially start by pressing and holding the local ON/OFF button. The start sequence will progress only if there are no active
alarms. The compressor motor will start AFTER 120 SECONDS. The fan motor will start simultaneously with the compressor for D225-
600IN-A models, after 30 seconds for smaller models.
Mod.D780-950IN-A: the fan motor is controlled only by the fan pressure switch.
Stop sequence
The dryer can be stopped locally from the control panel. After having pressed the ON/OFF switch for 1 second, the compressor and the
fan motor (only the compressor on D780-950IN-A) keep on running for further 10 seconds in order to re-balance the internal pressures.
The dryer can be also stopped due to an alarm or energy saving condition (ESA or ES2). Any alarm will de−energize the compressor,
fan motor can still running (only on D12-600IN-A), it depends on the type of alarm (see Display indications chapter). If the shutdown is due
to an alarm, a message will blink on display indicating the reason for the shutdown. Energy saving condition (ESA or ES2) occurs when
the dew point stands below the set value for a long time in order to save energy and avoid heat exchanger freezing. This situation can
happen when ambient temperature is low and there is no compressed air load.
Mod.D780-950IN-A: the fan motor is controlled only by the fan pressure switch.
Variable speed fan control (Mod. D12–600IN-A)
A patented microprocessor allows to adjust dryer’s cooling capacity by changing the fan motor speed. If the dew point is greater than
the set value, the fan speed is increased, if the dew point is smaller than the set value, the fan velocity is decreased. The range can be
from 0 to 100% and the higher is the fan speed, the faster the fan LED blinks, you can read the exact value by pressing the UP button.
If the velocity is 100% you will read FL (Full Load). Under load standard condition the fan speed is usually at 100%, if there is no load
the fan velocity can oscillate between 0 and 20%.
In models D225-600IN-A, in order to adjust the greater dryer’s cooling capacity, a hot gas by-pass valve cooperates with the variable
speed system.
3.1 CONTROL PANEL
The dryers are provided with an electronic control system. All adjustments and resets can be performed by means of the digital panel
located on the front of the dryer. The control panel is composed of 5 keys (ON/OFF, TEST, SET, DOWN and UP) and a 3 digit display,
with three signalling LEDs indicated by icons (PIC 1)

Option: No loss condensate drain (Zero Drain)
Zero Drain is the new electronic drain discharger applicable to any
compressed air systems. It eliminates the condensate without wasting
compressed air.
Electronic drain discharge starts automatically, without the need of any
adjustment. The condensate discharge occurs to the use of an electronic
sensor, which detects the amount of condensate in the integrated water
collecting tank. The level sensor drives start and duration of the drainage,
so preventing any wasting of compressed air.
At the end of installation, put the system under pressure and push the
TEST key repeatedly to eliminate the air bubbles contained in the
discharger inlet fittings.
The Zero Drain unit is equipped with a remote alarm connection (dry
contact, trigged when the drain is in alarm for more than 30 seconds): see
terminal block diagrams (attachment B) for futher details.
Maintenance
Zero Drain is equipped with Service Unit, which is recommended to be changed every year to ensure proper working conditions.
Should the discharger not operate correctly, try to act on the TEST key to clean the mesh filter.
Never remove the discharger body. Should the malfunctioning persist, contact our Customer
Service.
Before carrying out any work on the electrical parts, make sure that the main switch
interrupts the electricity supply to the dryer and then affix appropriate warning signs to
avoid the machine being reconnected to the electricity mains!
