Page 14 SMD Series Dehumidifying Dryers Safety 2 2-1 Work Rules Install, operate, and maintain this equipment according to applicable work and safety codes for your location. This includes OSHA, CE, NEC, CSA, SPI, and many other local, national, and international regulations.
SMD Series Dehumidifying Dryers Page 15 2-4 Safety Considerations The terms NOTICE, CAUTION, WARNING , and DANGER have specific meanings in this manual.
Page 16 SMD Series Dehumidifying Dryers 2-5 General Responsibility NO MA TTER WHO YOU ARE… Safety is important. Owners, operators, and maintenance personnel must realize that every day, safety is a vital aspect of their jobs.
SMD Series Dehumidifying Dryers Page 17 ONLY YOU can make safety work for you by constantly thinking about what is safe and what is not. It is often the “just once” that an operator reaches into a dryer to remove material and it results in serious injury.
Page 18 SMD Series Dehumidifying Dryers • Clean the dryer and surrounding area DAILY , and inspect the machine for loose, missing or broken parts. • Shut off power to the dryer when it is not in use. Turn the switch to the OFF position, or unplug it from the power source.
SMD Series Dehumidifying Dryers Page 19 Do not restore power to the dryer until all persons are clear of the area. DO NOT start and run the dryer until you are sure all parts are functioning correctly.
Page 20 SMD Series Dehumidifying Dryers 2-8-3 Fail Safe Operation If a safety device or circuit should fail, the design must be such that the failure causes a “Safe” condition. As an example, a safety switch must be a normally open switch. The switch must be held closed with the device it is to protect.

SMD Series Dehumidifying Dryers Page 29 Controls 5 5-1 Identifying Control Panel Indicator Lights and Switches for Standard Controller Switches System OFF/ON/START Switch The OFF/ON/START switch energizes or de-energizes control power to the indicator panel and starts the dryer.
Page 30 SMD Series Dehumidifying Dryers Figure 6 Typical Control Panel.
SMD Series Dehumidifying Dryers Page 31 5-2 Process Air Temperature Controller Sterling dryers use a microprocessor-based PID temperature controller for maintaining process air temperature. The controller is a modular, self-contained unit you can remove from the mounting housing.
Page 32 SMD Series Dehumidifying Dryers 5-3 Identifying Process Air Temperature Controller LED Indicators Process Value Numeric LED During normal operation, the process value ( PV ) numeric LED indicator displays the process temperature at the To Process thermocouple.
SMD Series Dehumidifying Dryers Page 33 5-4 Identifying Temperature Controller Keys Mode Key Press the Mode key to shift the display to the next set of parameters. The menu screen displays. Down Key Press the Down arrow key to lower the process air set point temperature.
Page 34 SMD Series Dehumidifying Dryers 5-6 Restoring the E5CN Temperature Controller to Factory Setup If the preset parameters on the controller have been tampered with and it no longer properly controls temperature and displays dew point, you can restore the controllers to the factory setup.
SMD Series Dehumidifying Dryers Page 35 Proportional Band Mode(P) This setting controls the amount in which the manipulated variable ( MV ) is proportionate to the deviated value or controller error. Integral Time Mode (I) Setting this feature, gives the control an action that is proportionate to the time integral of the control error.
