MR050 SERIES DEHYDRATOR USER MANUAL

Section 1

General Information

1 .1 Introduction

This manual contains the information you need to install, operate and maintain your MR050

Series dehydrator. Please take the time to read this manual before attempting to operate or service the unit.

1 .2 Description

MR050 Series dehydrators provide dry air for pressurizing small (280 liters or up to 10 cubic feet, in volume) antenna and transmission line systems. The dehydrators produce -40ºC (-40ºF) dewpoint dry air at an output rate of 1.4 liters

(0.05 cubic feet) per minute up to a total of 5660 liters (200 cubic feet) on a single desiccant canister.

front panels feature a pressure gauge, on/ off switch, hour meter and resettable circuit breaker. All MR050 dehydrators have a single output. Use the DP-4A-001 distribution panel, described below, for additional output connections. Other distribution products, such as a 6600D-4 Manifold or an LM400-H, -L and

-M Line Monitor may also be used to provide multiple outputs from a MR050 dehydrator. For easy serviceability, power connections, alarm output connections and the drying assembly are accessible from the front of the unit.

The drying assembly consists of transparent canister which contains color-indicating desiccant. The transparent canister makes it easy to view the condition of the desiccant and flexible tubing on barbed fittings makes the canister easy to replace.

The MR050 Series dehydrators sense transmission line pressure and automatically maintain pressure within a specified range.

The MR050-8XXXX (high pressure) maintains transmission line pressures between 21 kPa and 34 kPa (3.0 and 5.0 lb/in2). It is intended for standard microwave antenna applications and any other transmission line pressurization requirement that supports a relatively high pressure limit.

A standard LP (low pressure) alarm provides an open or closed form C “dry” contact relay in the event of a low pressure condition. The alarm for the MR050-8XXXX is set at 6.9 kPa (1.0 lb/in2).

Each dehydrator consists of an electricallydriven air compressor, a replaceable desiccant drying assembly, an automatic transmission line pressure sensing system and a low-pressure alarm output housed in a rigid metal chassis.

They are suitable for 19” rack mounting, wall mounting or free-standing applications. Their

All MR050 dehydrators have a single output.

Use the DP-4A-001 distribution panel, described below, for additional output connections. Other distribution products, such as a 6600D-4

Manifold or an LM400 Series Line Monitor may also be used to provide multiple outputs from a

MR050 dehydrator.

Type LM400-X: Four Port Line Monitors, include one rear-panel 3/8” output compression fitting, one gauge, one flow meter with shutoff valve per output. The unit mounts on top of the dehydrator or to the wall using supplied hardware. Each line monitor comes complete with installation materials to connect four transmission lines.

LM400-H, LM400-L, LM400-M

Type DP-4A-001: Four-Output Distribution

Panel, includes one 3/8” output compression fitting and one shut-off valve per output. The unit mounts in a standard 19” equipment rack or to the top of the MR050 using supplied brackets.

It comes complete with an installation kit to connect up to four individual transmission lines.

Type 6600D-X: Two, Four and Six-

Output Manifolds, include one 3/8” output compression fitting, one gauge and one shutoff valve per output. The unit mounts to the wall using holes supplied through the manifold block.

Each manifold comes complete with installation materials to connect two, four or six transmission lines.

L6600D-2, -4 (for low pressure units)

6600D-2, -4, -6 (for high pressure units)

1 .3 Operation

MR050 series dehydrators include a compressor, color indicating desiccant, high and low-pressure switches, check valves, and a lowpressure alarm sensor.

When system pressure falls to a preset low limit, the low-pressure sensor activates the compressor. Air is channeled through a desiccant canister, where moisture is adsorbed.

The air exits the drying canister at -40°C (-

40°F), or better, dewpoint. It is then channeled directly to a single transmission line or through a distribution panel, manifold, or line monitor to multiple transmission lines.

When system pressure reaches a preset high limit, the high-pressure sensor shuts off the compressor. A check valve prevents system dry air from retreating back through the compressor.

If system pressure falls significantly below the low-pressure trigger point, the low-pressure alarm sensor will activate an alarm contact.

This alarm is an indication of a significant system leak or a dehydrator failure.

It is suggested a licensed electrician be contracted to connect the ac wiring to the unit, if it is connected directly to the mains.

Failure to properly connect the power wires could result in a dangerous electrical shock hazard.

For equipment distributed to the 115 Vac

North American market, the ac power cord is terminated in a molded NEMA 5-15 plug. If the local ac required a different plug, cut off the molded plug and install an approved type.

11

MR050 SERIES DEHYDRATOR USER MANUAL

For equipment distributed in the 240 Vac international market, the supplied ac power cord is HAR/VDE approved. It is not terminated with a plug, due to the large variety of plugs in use throughout the world. Install an approved plug at the end of the cord with stripped leads. The illustration shows two typical 240 Vac plugs

(British and Continental) for reference, but they are not included with the cord.

2 .4 .2 DC Power Connections

To avoid damage to the dehydrator, dc power from an ac to dc converter must be:

• Constant voltage between 12 and 72 Vdc.

Verify the power switch is “

OFF”. Locate

the circular connector on the left, inside the desiccant canister area. The lower terminal connector is for the power cable connection.

Use a battery or dc supply of 12 Vdc to 60

Vdc with 15 VA minimum capacity. The dc power cable is pre-wired at the factory and is approximately 6 m (20 ft) long. It terminates at connector T3.

In the European Community, the primary power wiring for dc powered units shall be made using insulated stranded copper wire rated at 300 volts and 80 degrees C minimum. Cross section of each conductor shall be 1 mm 2 minimum. For equipment distributed in the U.S. and Canada, the primary power wiring connection to the terminal block for dc powered units must be made using UL recognized and CSA certified insulated stranded copper wire rated at 300 volts and 80 degrees C minimum. Conductor size shall be 16 AWG minimum.

• T3 - Terminal 1 is ground [green wire]

• T3 - Terminal 4 is negative (-) [black wire]

• T3 - Terminal 6 is positive (+) [red wire]

12

The customer end of the dc power cable is not connectorized. Strip back the outer covering

2" and then remove 1/4" of insulation from the end of each wire before making a connection.

Cut back the white wire to the start of the outer covering as it is not used.

2 .4 .3 Grounding Instructions

MR050 SERIES DEHYDRATOR USER MANUAL

Ground the dehydrator to reduce the danger of electric shock.

AC units must be properly installed to meet local electrical codes and ordinances. AC powered units have a power ground stud located at the right rear of the desiccant canister area.

DC units also use the ground stud located at the right rear of the desiccant canister area.

Connect an 1 mm (18 AWG) wire from the ground stud to a known Earth ground.

DANGER:

Improper installation of the grounding conductor can result in the risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician if you have any questions or are in doubt about your present electrical grounding.

2 .4 .4 Test the Dehydrator

2 .5 Connecting the Low Pressure Alarm Output

When a low pressure alarm condition exists,

Form C dry contacts are activated at terminal

TB-1. Normally open (NO) contact terminals 7 and 8 close on alarm.

2 .6 Connecting the Dryer Assembly

The dryer input and output lines are two sections of clear plastic tubing attached to bulkhead connectors on the side wall of the dehydrator.

To connect the desiccant canister, connect the two sections of clear plastic tubing to the desiccant canister barb fittings.

An alarm condition exists when pressure falls below 6.9 kPa (1.0 lb/in2) for MR050-8XXXX models. The relay contacts are rated at 3 A

(inductive), 30 Vdc.

The canister then rests on the floor of the dehydrator enclosure between the louver slot and the front door.

14

MR050 SERIES DEHYDRATOR USER MANUAL

2 .7 Connecting Dehydrator to the Transmission

Line

Caution:

Check the antenna and transmission line system pressure rating before connecting the dehydrator to the system. If the rating is below 35 kPa (5 lb/in2), make sure the

MR050B-3XXXX model is used. If the pressure rating is 35 kPa (5 lb/in2) or greater, use the MR050-8XXXX model.

Insert one end of the 3/8” polytube feed line tubing into the compression fitting on the dehydrator inside wall, or one of the similar fittings on the DP-4A-001 Distribution Panel.

Tighten securely with a 9/16” wrench. Be careful not to over tighten. Connect the other end of the polytube to the transmission line.

Note: If the transmission lines have not been purged, continue with section 2 .8 . Otherwise proceed to

Section 3 .

2 .8 Purging the Transmission Line

Air in the transmission line system must be replaced with dry air to ensure satisfactory operation of the transmitted signal.

1. Determine the total system volume.

2. Open the far end of the transmission line.

3. Operate the dehydrator for one purge cycle.

Refer to table for the “hours to purge”.

4. Wait 45 minutes while the air absorbs moisture in the system, then repeat steps 2 and 3 two more times.

The times to purge and pressurize are a function of the internal volume of the transmission line. The table that follows gives purge and pressurize times for various volumes of waveguide and air dielectric coaxial line.

Maintenance

3 .1 Replacing the Desiccant

When the desiccant color changes from orange to green, it requires renewal.

1. Isolate all transmission lines by turning the in-line valve(s) to the “0” position.

4. Once a desiccant canister is free of the dehydrator, replace with new canister.

2. Access the desiccant canister by removing the front panel.

3. Disconnect the desiccant canister by pulling the clear plastic tubing from the desiccant canister barb fittings.

16

MR050 SERIES DEHYDRATOR USER MANUAL

3 .2 Replacing the Compressor Air Intake Filter

Replace the compressor air intake filter every six months for proper compressor operation and maximum length of service. To gain access to the compressor air intake filter, remove the front cover as outlined in Section 2.1. Never operate the dehydrator without the intake filter intact, as this will allow dust and foreign particles to enter the compressor and reduce its operating life.

The MR050 compressors have an external air intake filter attached to a fitting on the left side wall of the desiccant side of the dehydrator. To replace this filter:

1. Turn the power switch

Troubleshooting

If you experience difficulty with your dehydrator, use the troubleshooting procedures described below.

Caution: Electrical troubleshooting requires access to potentially dangerous voltages and should only be performed by a licensed electrician

Problem/Condition

Dehydrator on/off switch is

ON, unit does not run.

Low-pressure alarm activated.

Compressor does not turn.

Circuit breaker tripped.

Solution

Check the breaker adjacent to the on/off switch. If the breaker is tripped, (white indicator exposed) then reset the breaker.

If the

on/off switch is ON, make sure the unit is plugged in

and power outlet is operating..

If unit still does not run, unplug the unit, remove the unit cover and check for loose connections. Refer to the wiring diagram for proper connections.

Pressurize lines with the dehydrator, turn dehydrator shut-off valve to the off position and observe pressure gauge. If pressure remains constant, apply leak detector to transmission lines(s), and repair any leaks. If leaks are not found, replace pressure switch (PS2).

If the pressure does not stay constant after shutting off the valve, apply leak detector to isolate the leak in the dehydrator (exercise care when applying solution not to wet wiring or electronics).

If no leaks are found above, replace air compressor.

Check power switch to make sure that it is

ON.

Check input power polarity and voltage per wiring diagram.

Check the voltage between pins 1 and 3 of the J50 connector on the converter board (11-13 Vdc should be present). If the voltage is not correct, replace the converter board.

Check voltage across terminals A

2 and B5 of the power

switch (SW1). If voltage is not 11-13 Vdc, check wiring or replace power switch.

Check voltage across chassis ground and common (C) terminal of pressure switch (PS1). If 11-13 Vdc is not present, replace circuit breaker.

Check voltage between chassis ground and the normally closed (NC) terminal of pressure switch (PS1). If 11-13

Vdc is available check wiring to the compressor, then replace compressor. If 11-13 Vdc is not available, replace pressure switch (PS1)

Check wiring connections per wiring diagram. If breaker trips again, replaces the breaker. If the replacement breaker trips contact CommScope Customer Service.
