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 ala rm 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 degr ees (● °F) with a 1°F
resolution.
SET-UP (PROGRAMMING)
To access the set-up, keep pressed simultaneously both
set
and button for at least 5 seconds. In this way
programming operation will be activated and the controller display shows the first parameter that can be set (Ton).
After that, by pressing
set
button the display shows the value set for that parameter. If the value is correct press
set
button to conferm it and to give access on following parameters. To change the value of selected parameter,
must be used
esc
and button, respectively to decrease or increase the value. All parameters that can be
modified are indicated in following table:

It is possibile to exit from set-up conditon in any moment, by pressing simultaneously both
esc
and button. If
any operations are not made during 30 seconds, the controller exits automatically from programming operation.
