DA0171P01 REV - 3
Introduction
The Environment One Generator Gas Dryer (GGD) is a dual tower, open regeneration-
type hydrogen dryer. A dual tower dryer incorporates two vessels, one in drying mode
and one in standby or regenerating mode.
The GGD uses a blower and motor assembly to continuously circulate hydrogen gas
from the generator casing volume to the dryer assembly. This permits the dryer to
remain online even while the generator is at stand still or on turning gear speed. In
addition, the blower and motor assembly are rated for use with hydrogen (explosion
proof).
The GGD is a microprocessor-controlled system that uses inlet and outlet dew point
measurements, via dew point transmitters, to determine the efficiency of the dryer as
well as to control if and when the “in service” tower needs to be regenerated. This is the
default regeneration control. However, should a field-adjustable time span elapse, a
timer will control the regeneration cycle. This additional regeneration control guarantees
that each tower is exposed to the same duty cycle, which, in turn, prolongs the life of the
desiccant, motor, switching valves, etc. and further ensures proper function and
efficiency of the dryer system. The GGD, as an open regeneration dryer, is the most
effective method to remove moisture from the column to be regenerated and does not
require the addition of a cooling water supply connection as with closed-loop
regeneration dryers. Although the open regeneration uses some hydrogen from the
system, the consumption of hydrogen during regeneration is very low, approximately 2
SCFM for a maximum of approximately 2 to 4 hours.
The GGD incorporates a molecular sieve (desiccant) for moisture removal. Additionally,
the GGD incorporates a moisture separator on the inlet piping connection. This pre-filter
is designed to remove contaminants such as liquid or mist turbine oil. Turbine lubricating
oil will degrade the molecular sieve efficiency. Although the generator hydrogen gas
cooling system is not supposed to be contaminated with oil, it often occurs because of
system malfunctions.
The GGD also incorporates an after-filter to prevent the admission of broken-down
desiccant materials from entering the generator or the gas piping.

¾” piping for runs less than 75’, and 1” piping for all runs over 75’ from the generator.
Bends and fittings should be kept to a minimum.
E/One recommends installing a low point drain on the vent connection. Piping from the
dryer should be angled downward slightly to the low point drain, so that condensing
moisture cannot drain back into the dryer.
It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the required pressure relief devices are
properly installed prior to initial operation with maximum setting to be 150 PSI. Safety
valves must be installed on the vessel without intervening valves between the vessel
and protective devices and point of discharge. Vent discharge should be located in a
safe area with no source of ignition.

Valve Setup
Prior to applying power for the first time refer to Appendix Figure 1 for proper valve
orientation.

Electrical Installation & Considerations
These instructions provide details to facilitate equipment installation. Proper training of
individuals involved with wiring and other installation activities is the responsibility of
plant management. Contact Environment One for additional installation instruction
and/or if plant management requires additional detail, beyond that which is supplied in
this document, to assure safe and proper installation.
Prior to applying power, ensure that the local power source used matches the power
rating on the respective module nameplate and consistent with E/One specifications.
Reference should be made to the documents attached (i.e. Customer Interface, P&ID,
etc.) to assure power connections are made in accordance with the design parameters.
Environment One recommends that all wiring be in accordance with ATEX Standard
EN60079-14. All wiring must be in accordance with local codes and requirements of the
local authority that has responsibility.
CAUTION! Care must be taken when removing the covers of explosion proof
enclosures to avoid damage (scratches, etc.) to the sealing surfaces. Do not
remove or open covers from the enclosures unless power is removed from the
customer interface and the system is free of hydrogen (or explosive gas
mixtures).

Maintenance and Repair Procedures
Desiccant Replacement Procedure
WARNING! Ensure that the dryer is de-energized, valve isolated, purged of
hydrogen and fully depressurized.
WARNING! Parts of the dryer may operate at elevated temperatures. Allow the
dryer to fully cool before servicing.
CAUTION! Prior to installing desiccant, review all applicable Material Safety Data
Sheets and container warnings. Safety Data Sheets may be obtained from the
manufacturer’s Safety Coordinator. Exercise all necessary precautions for your
health and welfare.
WARNING! Used desiccant material must be handled with special care. Desiccant
is an absorbent material. Used desiccant may contain chemicals and/or gases that
are hazardous, toxic and/or flammable. It is recommended that all used desiccant
be analyzed to determine content before disposal. Exercise proper care and
procedures during handling and storage of used materials. All containers must be
properly labeled and disposed of in accordance with local, state and federal
regulations.
WARNING! A static electric charge can build up when pouring desiccants or dry
powders. Proper grounding should be observed when pouring from a container
(bag, drum, etc.).
WARNING! The dryer is designed to use a specific desiccant. Use of any other
size or type may reduce efficiency or damage the dryer.
Refer to Appendix Figure 2 for reference.
1. Remove the desiccant fill port flanges at the top of each column.
2. Remove desiccant drain port plug, located in the bottom side of the each column,
and drain desiccant into suitable disposable containers.
3. Use a flashlight to inspect each chamber through its respective fill port to ensure
that all the desiccant has been removed. Light tapping on the chamber wall with
a soft-faced mallet may be required to assist in the removal of lingering
desiccant.
4. Reinstall desiccant drain port plug.
5. Use an appropriately sized funnel and fill each chamber with desiccant until the
desiccant reaches the bottom of the top screen. Light tapping on the chamber
wall with a soft-faced mallet should yield additional free space to allow installation
of the specified quantity. Do not tamp or ram desiccant.
Note: Do not be alarmed if the specified quantity of desiccant cannot be installed in each
chamber. Desiccant levels will settle after approximately two to three weeks of normal operation.
Following this “settling” period, desiccant should be added as necessary to return levels to the
bottom of each chamber’s retaining screen (when installed).

6. Replace gaskets and reinstall the fill port flange in each desiccant chamber.

About the Faults Log
The Faults log traps these error conditions: I/O Fault, COMM Fault, Power Fault,
Network Fault, Change Oil, Heater Fault, Temperature Fault, Pressure Fault, Sensor
Fault, Circulator Fault, Vent Flow Fault and Power Imbalance.
• An I/O Fault is logged when a communication error is detected in the communication
channel that connects the processor with the relay outputs.
• A COMM Fault is logged when a communication error is detected in the
communication channel that connects the processor to the Display or I/O board.
• A Power Fault is logged when the measured voltage of one or more of the power
supplies is out of specification.
• A Network Fault is logged when a communication error is detected in the
communication channel that connects the processor with the three phase power monitor.
• A Change Oil Fault is logged when at least 2160 hours (90 days) have passed since
the last oil change.
• An Actuator Fault is logged when the actuator control routine times out before the
micro-switches indicate that the actuator is in the correct position.
• A Heater Fault is logged when the temperature of a heated column does not match the
expected temperature profile. A fault is logged if the temperature does not rise fast
enough or if the column temperature exceeds 335°C (635°F). Both column heaters are
disabled until the fault condition is cleared. The heaters must be reset by pressing the
reset button on the front of the display before this fault can be cleared.
• A Temperature Fault is logged when the temperature of either column is less than -
5°C (23°F) or greater than 65°C (149°F) unless the dryer is regenerating. The upper limit
for the inactive column is raised to 325°C (617°F) during regeneration.
There are ten centigrade degrees of hysteresis on the 65°C (149°F) temperature limit.
The GGD will not trigger an alarm until 70°C (158°F). Once triggered the alarm will
remain asserted until the reset key on the front of the display is pressed or the column
temperature drops below 60°C (140°F) again.
• A Pressure Fault is logged when the pressure of either column is less than 5 PSI or
greater than 95 PSI unless the column is being vented. The upper limit for a column is 5
PSI while venting. There is no lower limit on a venting column.
There is two PSI of hysteresis on the pressure limits. The GGD will not trigger an alarm
until the pressure drops below 4 PSI or climbs above 96 PSI. Once triggered the alarm
will remain asserted until the reset key on the front of the display is pressed or the
column pressure climbs above 6 PSI or falls below 94 PSI.
• A Sensor Fault is logged when the output of a sensor is outside of the expected range
during normal operating mode.
• A Circulator Fault is logged when the current feeding the circulator get more than fifty
points out of balance or the power level exceeds 250 watts per phase.
• A Vent Flow Fault is logged when the venting column pressure is too high, when the
purge flow is restricted or excessive or the vent valve fails to close. The fault is logged
when the pressure does not drop below 5 PSI within thirty seconds of the vent opening,

DA0182P01 REV J 15 GGD Software Version 2.3C


the pressure does not rise to case pressure within ten minutes of the vent closing or if
the purge flow is not between one and three cubic feet per minute. The vent is closed
and regeneration is prohibited until the fault condition is cleared. Once the cause of the
vent fault has been corrected venting may be resumed by pressing the reset button on
the front of the display.
• A Power Imbalance Fault is logged when the current feeding the circulator and/or
heater gets more than thirty points out of balance.

About the Power Log

About Menu Security


The menu security feature allows access to certain portions of the menu to be blocked
with a password. Password protection can be enabled by choosing the menu security
selection from the setup menu and changing the setting from normal to secure
WARNING: setup a password first; a password must be entered to change the menu
security setting from secure back to normal. (The password can be set with the SET
PASSWORD option on the advanced menu.)
Three menus require a password to access when menu security is set to secure. These
are the tools menu, the test menu and the setup menu (except for scroll on/off).
A lost password can be recovered using the VIEW EPASS selection on the view menu.
The number shown on the LCD display when VIEW EPASS is selected is an encoded
version of the password. An Environment One technician can use this value to recover
the password.

About the Actuator


The dryer uses an electric actuator to move the spool valve that routes gas through the
dryer. The dryer is drying on the right column when the actuator is rotated fully clockwise
as viewed from the back of the dryer. It is drying on the left column when rotated fully

DA0182P01 REV J 16 GGD Software Version 2.3C


counterclockwise. The actuator is protected by a two ampere slow-blow fuse located in
the upper right quadrant of the i/o board.
The actuator is controlled by two pairs of micro-switches. The first pair is called primary
micro-switches. The second pair is called the secondary micro-switches. The primary
micro-switches mount on the innermost two locations and are operated by the black and
white cams. The secondary micro-switches mount on the outermost two locations and
are operated by the tan and grey cams.
The primary micro-switches physically interrupt the power going to the actuator motor.
The secondary micro-switches report the position of the actuator to the software which
turns on and off the solid state relays that control the actuator.
There are two modes of controlling the actuator; Basic and Advanced. Basic uses just
the primary set of micro-switches. Advanced uses both sets of micro-switches in a
redundant configuration.
The secondary micro-switches are used by the software to determine the position of the
actuator in advanced mode. The software turns-off the power to the motor when it
detects that the actuator has reached the end of travel. The primary micro-switches act
as backup switches in advanced mode. They will cut off power to the motor if the
secondary switches fail.
Actuator control should be set to advanced mode unless the secondary micro-switches
are malfunctioning. Basic mode is used when there is a problem with the secondary
micro-switches.
The Installation and Operation Manual (DA0171G01) contains the actuator adjustment
procedure.

About Three Phase Measurements


There are five measurements available through VIEW 3 PHASE selection in the VIEW
MENU. The measurements are voltage and frequency, current and phase in leg a,
current and phase in leg c, power in leg c and power balance.
The first measurement is three phase voltage and frequency. It is displayed in the format
460.0V 60.0Hz where 460.0 and 60.0 will be replace by the actual voltage and frequency
values.
The second measurement is the current in leg A. It is displayed in the format: Ia=1.0A
45DEG where 1.0 and 45 will be replace by the actual current in amperes and the actual
phase angle between the voltage and current in degrees.
The third measurement is the current in leg C. It is displayed in the format: Ic=1.0A
45DEG where 1.0 and 45 will be replace by the actual current in amperes and the actual
phase angle between the voltage and current in degrees.
The fourth measurement is the power in leg C. It is displayed in the format:
POWER=100.0W where 100 will be replace by the actual power in watts drawn from leg
C.
The fifth measurement is a measure of the current draw balance. It is displayed in the
format: POINTS=0 where 0 will be replace by the actual number of imbalance points.
The points will be zero if the same amount of current is drawn from each phase and
each phase is separated from the other phases by 120 degrees. One point is added for

DA0182P01 REV J 17 GGD Software Version 2.3C


each degree of deviation from 120 degrees and one for each percentage point difference
in current draw between phase A and phase C.

(ROM). If it finds a problem, it will stop the POST process and flash BAD CHECKSUM
on the LCD. The FN key may be pressed to allow the GGD to continue the POST
process. However, proper operation cannot be guaranteed if this error is present.
The GGD checks to see if it can communicate with the I/O board and if the I/O board is
the proper type for the processor board. I/O MISMATCH will be displayed and the POST
stopped if the I/O board and the processor board are mismatched. The post can be
resumed by pressing the FN key. I/O UNVERIFIED will be displayed if the processor
cannot determine if the I/O board is OK. The I/O UNVERIFIED error will not stop the
POST process.
The GGD verifies the supplied three phase power against the operating voltage setting.
The GGD will display VOLTAGE TOO HIGH if the voltage is at least 40 volts too high
(440 for the 400 volt setting, 500 for the 460 volt setting, or 640 for the 600 volt setting).
It will display VOLTAGE TOO LOW if the voltage is 40 volts or more too low. The error
will stop the POST process. Press the FN key to exit the POST process or the ENTER to
resume it.
The direction of rotation of the circulator is determined by the phase order of the three
phase power supply. The GGD will stop the POST and display SWAP PHASE ORDER if
the phase order needs to be changed. The phase order must be swapped at the input
power terminals and not at the junction box on the motor.
The GGD is designed to dry hydrogen. A CIRCULATOR FAULT may occur if the GGD is
started with air or carbon dioxide. A closed isolation valve may also cause a
CIRCULATOR FAULT. The CIRCULATOR FAULT message is displayed if the input
power drawn is greater than 250W per phase. The circulator is automatically shut down
if the power exceeds 375W per phase.
The GGD tests its column heaters on startup. It will display any problems detected on
the LCD but it will not stop the POST process. See

DA0182P01 REV J 20 GGD Software Version 2.3C


Table 6 for a list of these errors.
The GGD will annunciate any additional problems it finds with the power supplies,
solenoids or relays. The presence of one or more of these faults will not stop the POST
process. However, they should be corrected as soon as possible because they indicate
a hardware problem.

Manual Operation
When the GGD is in manual mode all automatic responses are disabled and you can
manually control the dryer. You can start or stop the drying processes. You can switch
which column is drying. You can start or stop regenerating a column. You can start or
stop venting a column.
The TROUBLE LED will be illuminated and the TROUBLE RELAY de-energized

the indicated column. DRY WITH RIGHT will not appear on the menu if you are drying,
regenerating or venting the right column. DRY WITH LEFT will not appear on the menu if
you are drying, regenerating or venting the left column.
The dryer will respond in one of two ways to the selection of DRY WITH RIGHT or DRY
WITH LEFT, depending on its current status. The dryer will display CHANGING
COLUMN on the LCD display if the dryer is currently drying and you have elected to
switch to a different column. It will display TESTING … on the LCD display if the dryer is
not currently drying. (The prompt CHANGING COLUMN may precede the TESTING…
prompt under certain circumstances.) Following the TESTING… prompt, the dryer will
display the column selected and its temperature and pressure. Once drying starts, the
Tools menu will refresh.

Normal Operation
When the GGD is in normal operation, it will manage column changeover and
regeneration automatically. It will use the values of the minimum drying time, maximum
drying time and desired dew point to determine how often to change and regenerate a
column.
The GGD will display the inlet and outlet dew points on the numerical displays. It will
energize the dew point high relay if the inlet dew point is greater than the dew point
alarm level. The inlet and outlet dew points are also available through two 4-20 mA
outputs.
The 4-20 mA current output corresponds to –80 to +20 degrees centigrade.
REMINDER! Should the system go into trouble, access the menu items SHOW
FAULTS LOG and SHOW POWER LOG for more information.

Troubleshooting Guide
This guide was written for software version 2.3C. Do not use this guide if you have a
different version of software. Contact E/ONE instead.
This guide is divided into two parts. The first part covers intermittent error. The second
part covers persistent errors.

Troubleshooting Intermittent errors


The Trouble LED is not illuminated but there are faults in the fault log.
• An I/O FAULT, COMM FAULT or NETWORK FAULT may occur occasionally. The
dryer can correct for these errors so they are not a problem unless they are a daily
occurrence.
• A NETWORK FAULT indicates that the dryer could not communicate with either the
power monitor or the display board to collect sensor data.
• A SENSOR FAULT indicates that the output of a sensor drifted out of its expected
operating range. A temperature or pressure fault may occur along with this fault.
Check the value of each sensor using the display (dew point sensor) or view column
menu (RTD or pressure sensor).
• A PRESSURE FAULT indicates that the pressure drifted outside of the normal
operating range of the dryer. Specifically that the pressure was below 5 psi or
exceeded 95 psi while the column was drying or did not stay below 5 psi when the
column was regenerating.
• A TEMPERATURE FAULT indicates that the temperature drifted outside of the normal
operating range of the dryer. Specifically that the temperature fell below -5°C (23°F) or
exceeded +65°C (149°F) while the column was drying or did not stay below +325°C
(617°F)when the column was regenerating.
• A VENT FAULT indicates that a VENT FAULT 1, 2 or 3 occurred because the column
pressure or purge flow was out of tolerance at the start of regeneration.
• A HEATER FAULT indicates that a HEATER FAULT 1, 2 or 3 occurred because the
temperature did not follow the expected profile while the column was regenerating.
• A CIRCULATOR FAULT indicates that the current feeding the circulator is more than
fifty points out of balance or the power level exceeds 250 watts per phase. Use VIEW
3 PHASE on the VIEW MENU to examine the three phase voltage and current.
• A POWER FAULT may indicate a power supply problem or a spike or sag in the power
that feeds the dryer. Use the Power Log to check for a supply that is close to its ±10%
tolerance.
• A CHANGE OIL FAULT indicates that at least 2160 hours (90 days) have passed since
the last oil change. Change the oil and clear the fault with the CLEAR OIL TIMER
selection on the LOG MENU.
• A POWER IMBALANCE FAULT indicates that the current feeding the circulator and/or
heater is at least 30 points out of balance. Use VIEW 3 PHASE on the VIEW MENU to
examine the three phase voltage and current.

DA0182P01 REV J 23 GGD Software Version 2.3C


Troubleshooting Persistent errors
Trouble LED is illuminated continuously and there are faults in the fault log. (If the
trouble LED is illuminated and there are no faults in the fault log the dryer is probably in
manual mode.)
Persistent errors can be diagnosed using the faults log, view status or preferably both.
• Check for manual mode.
• Check the temperature and pressure of the drying column. The temperature should be
between -5°C (23°F) and +65°C (149°F). The pressure should be between 5 and 95
PSI.
• Check the fault log. Write down displayed faults. Clear the fault log. Wait ten seconds.
Check the fault log again. Look up the faults that persist in the section titled “Diagnose
Problems with the Fault Log”.
• Check the dryer status. It will be in one of the following states: "NORMAL
OPERATION", "DISABLED", "CHANGEOVER", "VENTING", "HEATING",
"REGENERATING", "COOLING", "VENT FAULT 1", "VENT FAULT 2", "VENT FAULT
3, "HEATER FAULT 1", "HEATER FAULT 2", "HEATER FAULT 3" or “CIRCULATOR
FAULT”. See the section titled “Diagnose Problems with View Status” and read the
paragraph(s) corresponding to the displayed status.

Diagnose Problems with the Fault Log.


• A persistent COMM FAULT is indicative of a problem with the display and/or the I/O
board.
• A persistent I/O FAULT is indicative of a problem with the I/O board.
• A persistent NETWORK FAULT is indicative of a problem with the power monitor
board. Check the connection between J1 on the I/O board and J2 on the power
monitor board.
• A persistent Sensor Fault indicates a bad sensor. A temperature or pressure fault may
occur along with this fault. Check each sensor for a Hi or Lo value using the display
(dew point sensor) or view column menu (RTD or pressure sensor)
• A persistent TEMPERATURE or PRESSURE FAULT may indicate a problem with a
sensor or that one or more of the columns are outside of their normal operating
condition.
• A HEATER FAULT indicates that a HEATER FAULT 1, 2 or 3 occurred. The fault
cannot be cleared until the fault condition is acknowledged. Use view status to
determine what type of heater fault occurred. Press the reset key on the front of the
display to clear the heater fault condition. Verify that the circuit breaker for the heaters
has not tripped.
• A VENT FAULT indicates that a VENT FAULT 1, 2 or 3 occurred or or that the column
failed to re-pressurize after regeneration.
The VENT FAULT 1, 2 or 3 cannot be cleared until the fault condition is
acknowledged. Press the reset key on the front of the display to clear one of these
vent fault conditions.

DA0182P01 REV J 24 GGD Software Version 2.3C


Use view status to determine the type of vent fault. View status will display VENT
FAULT 1, 2, 3 or COOLING when a persistent vent fault is present. A vent fault while
in the cooling state indicates that the vent is not fully closed.
• A CIRCULATOR FAULT indicates a problem with circulator current draw. The fault
cannot be cleared until the fault condition is acknowledged. Press the reset key on the
front of the display to clear the circulator fault condition. A circulator fault can be
caused by a closed isolation valve, operating with a gas other than hydrogen or when
one phase of the three phase power is missing.
• AN ACTUATOR FAULT indicates that the actuator control routine timed out before the
micro-switches indicated that the actuator was in the correct position. The fault cannot
be cleared until the fault condition is acknowledged. Press the reset key on the front of
the display to clear the actuator fault condition. The GGD will reset the timer and try to
move the actuator into the correct position in response to the key press. The fault will
come back if it fails. The most common cause of an actuator fault is a misadjusted
micro-switch or a blown fuse.
• A POWER IMBALANCE FAULT indicates an uneven current draw from the three
phase power. Use VIEW 3 PHASE on the VIEW MENU to examine the three phase
voltage and current.
• A persistent POWER FAULT indicates a problem with a power supply. Use the Power
Log to determine which supply is out of tolerance.

Diagnose Problems with View Status.


• NORMAL OPERATION: Check the temperature and pressure of the non-drying
column. The temperature should be between -10°C (14°F) and +60°C (140°F). The
pressure should be between 5 and 95 PSI.
• DISABLED: The blower motor has been manually turned off. Start drying with one of
the columns Check the temperature and pressure of the non-drying column. The
temperature should be between -10°C (14°F) and +60°C (140°F). The pressure should
be between 5 and 95 PSI.
• CHANGEOVER: The changeover state lasts for five seconds. Wait for the dryer to
proceed to the venting state. If the dryer remains in the changeover state for more than
five seconds it is because the pressure in the inactive column is zero PSI.
• VENTING: The dryer can remain in venting mode indefinitely when in manual mode.
The dryer should transition into heating mode within twenty seconds when in automatic
mode. If the dryer detects a problem while venting it will transition to a vent fault state
instead.
• HEATING: Check the temperature and pressure of the heating column. The
temperature of the heating column should be between -10°C (14°F) and +325°C
(617°F). The pressure should be less than 5PSI.
• REGENERATING: Check the temperature and pressure of the heating column. The
temperature of the heating column should be between -10°C (14°F) and +325°C
(617°F). The pressure should be less than 5PSI.
• COOLING: Check the temperature and pressure of the heating column. The
temperature of the heating column should be between -10°C (14°F) and +325°C

DA0182P01 REV J 25 GGD Software Version 2.3C


(617°F). The pressure should be less than 5PSI at the start of the cooling cycle and
then rise to case pressure within 45 minutes.
• VENT FAULT 1: The dryer closes the vent valve and enters a vent fault state when the
pressure is too high or when the purge flow is restricted or excessive. Vent fault 1
indicates that the purge flow exceeded three cubic feet per minute. The vent remains
closed and regeneration prohibited until the fault condition is cleared by pressing the
reset button on the front of the display.
Vent Fault 1 can be caused by an out of adjustment purge flow needle valve or by a
malfunctioning manifold. Press the reset key to restart the venting process and adjust
the purge flow adjustment needle valve to two cubic feet per minute. (turn clockwise to
reduce flow).
If the dryer goes back into vent fault 1 with the purge flow adjusted to two cubic feet
per minute. Press the reset key to restart the venting process and adjust the purge
flow adjustment needle valve to no flow.
If the dryer goes back into vent fault #1 the inlet manifold may be malfunctioning or out
of adjustment. Verify that fuse F1 on the dryer I/O board is not blown.
• VENT FAULT 2: The dryer closes the vent valve and enters a vent fault state when the
pressure is too high or when the purge flow is restricted or excessive. Vent fault 2
indicates that the purge flow was less than one cubic foot per minute. The vent
remains closed and regeneration prohibited until the fault condition is cleared by
pressing the reset button on the front of the display.
Vent Fault 2 can be caused by an out of adjustment purge flow needle valve. Press the
reset key to restart the venting process and adjust the purge flow adjustment needle
valve to two cubic feet per minute. (turn counter clockwise to increase flow).
• VENT FAULT 3: The dryer closes the vent valve and enters a vent fault state when the
pressure is too high or when the purge flow is restricted or excessive. Vent fault 3
indicates that the vent flow was less than one cubic foot per minute or the column
pressure did not fall below five pounds per square inch within thirty seconds. The vent
remains closed and regeneration prohibited until the fault condition is cleared by
pressing the reset button on the front of the display.
Vent Fault 3 can be caused by a defective vent valve solenoid, a blocked vent, a
malfunctioning manifold or if the dryer outlet pressure is below five pounds per square
inch.
• HEATER FAULT 1: The dryer disables the heaters and enters a heater fault state
when the temperature of a heated column does not match the expected temperature
profile. Heater fault 1 indicates that the column temperature exceeded 335°C (635°F).
Both column heaters remain disabled until the fault is cleared by pressing the reset
button on the front of the dryer display.
Heater Fault 1 can be caused by the actual column temperature exceeding 335°C
(635°F) or by the failure of an RTD. Compare the column temperatures of the primary
and alternate RTD in the view menu.
If the primary RTD reads “HI” or the readings are significantly different exchange the
wires for the primary and alternate RTD at the I/O board. If the problem follows the
RTD then replace the RTD. If the readings remain unchanged replace the I/O board.

DA0182P01 REV J 26 GGD Software Version 2.3C


Overheating can also be caused by a failure of a contactor or I/O board. Use the
contact test to enable and disable the column heater. Check for the presence or
absence of power on the heaters with an inductive pickup.
• HEATER FAULT 2: The dryer disables the heaters and enters a heater fault state
when the temperature of a heated column does not match the expected temperature
profile. Heater fault 2 indicates that the column temperature was rising too slowly
because its temperature did not reach 60°C (140°F) within twenty minutes of starting
to rise (The twenty minute timer starts after the column has risen its first ten degrees).
Both column heaters remain disabled until the fault is cleared by pressing the reset
button on the front of the dryer display.
Heater Fault 2 can be caused by a defective heating element, contactor failure or RTD
failure.
Compare the column temperatures of the primary and alternate RTD in the view menu.
If the primary RTD reads “HI” or the readings are significantly different exchange the
wires for the primary and alternate RTD at the I/O board. If the problem follows the
RTD then replace the RTD. If the readings remain unchanged replace the I/O board.
Insufficient temperature rise can also be caused by a failure of a contactor or I/O
board. Use the contact test to enable and disable the column heater. Check for the
presence or absence of power on the heaters with an inductive pickup.
• HEATER FAULT 3: The dryer disables the heaters and enters a heater fault state
when the temperature of a heated column does not match the expected temperature
profile. Heater fault 3 indicates that the column temperature failed to rise at least 10°C
within twenty minutes of the heater being energized or the power monitor indicated no
current flowing to the heaters.
Heater Fault 3 can be caused by a tripped circuit breaker, a defective heating element,
a contactor failure or an RTD failure.
Compare the column temperatures of the primary and alternate RTD in the view menu.
If the primary RTD reads “HI” or the readings are significantly different exchange the
wires for the primary and alternate RTD at the I/O board. If the problem follows the
RTD then replace the RTD. If the readings remain unchanged replace the I/O board.
Insufficient temperature rise can also be caused by a failure of a contactor or I/O
board. Use the contact test to enable and disable the column heater. Check for the
presence or absence of power on the heaters with an inductive pickup.

• CIRCULATOR FAULT: The dryer disables the circulator and enters a circulator fault
state when the current supplied to the motor gets too far out of balance.
The problem is usually caused by an out of tolerance condition in one of the phases in
the three phase power.
The fault condition is cleared by pressing the reset button on the front of the display.
Press the reset button and view the values of Ia and Ic using the VIEW 3 PHASE
selection on the VIEW MENU. The magnitude and phase angle of the currents should
be within 10% of each other. A low value for Ia indicates a problem with phase L1. A
large difference in phase angles indicates a problem in phase L2. A low value for Ic
indicates a problem with phase L3.

transducer was out of range
POWER IMBALANCE There was a significant difference between the power
supplied by each leg of the three phase power.
MOTOR POWER LOW The power drawn by the circulator was too low.
MOTOR POWER HIGH The power drawn by the circulator was too high.
MOTOR FORCED OFF The circulator was forced off to prevent damage due to a
severe three phase power imbalance while operating.
ACTUATOR FAULT The actuator control routine timed-out before the micro-
switches indicated that the actuator was in the correct
position.
ACTUATOR TEST The actuator test was started
