Dryer External Connections

Once assembled, installation requires connection of pneumatic airline, electrical, intake and output material
lines.

Compressed Air Connection

Connect an air supply to the air regulator’s IN port using a female 1/4” NPT
pipe fitting.

An operating air pressure of 80 psi (5.5 bar) while the vacuum

generator is running is required for proper operation of the Dryer.
Setting the air pressure to 85 psi while the machine is idle will usually
attain the desired 80 psi while the vacuum generator is running.

If your air supply has oil in it, add an oil separator (coalescing filter). Oil in
the air will combine with dust drawn from the Vacuum Chamber forming a
paste inside the vacuum generator. It will stop working and require
cleaning.

Observe the air pressure gauge to be sure the pressure maintains 80 psi
(5.5 bar) while the vacuum generator is running as you check and adjust the
regulator. If pressure drops below 80 psi, adjust the regulator. If the
pressure cannot be maintained at 80 psi (5.5 bar) while the vacuum
generator is running, then the air supply line is not adequate.

Do not supply Dryer with a lubricated air supply. Damage

to Dryer may result. Use only a clean, dry, oil-free air
supply.

Confirm Correct 3-Phase Electrical Connection

THREE PHASE Unit - CONFIRM proper 3-Phase power connection prior to loading
material. Failure to confirm proper 3-phase connection can result in reversed blower
rotation and damage to blower if the blower sucks in material from heating hopper rather
than blow heated air into heating hopper.

To confirm proper 3-phase connection following these instructions:

Turn power on using main power switch.

There are two methods to confirm proper 3-phase

connection:

Incorrect 3-phase connection will result in reversed

blower rotation. Both methods for checking correct
3-phase connection involve testing the blower rotation.

Method one requires the disconnecting the 2-inch hot

air hose from the heating hopper and manually
turning on the blower. The air from the blower should
blow out of the 2-inch hose. Air should not suck into
the hose. If air does not blow out and sucks in, the 3-
phase connection is NOT correct.

Method two requires the removal of the left side

panel to view the blower and confirm blower rotation
on power up. Rotation must be clockwise as
indicated by the red arrow.

1. From the Main Screen press

Manual Operations.

2. Press Blower Test.

3. Press the Blower button once to turn ON the

Blower. Press again to turn OFF.

Startup and Operation

This section will help you understand what the dryer is doing during operation from a cold start. There are 3
concurrent operations. Heating, Vacuum and, Retention. Cold startup begins with Preheat. Preheat only
occurs before the first cycle of the dryer’s initial startup, otherwise each cycle begins with material heating.
The vacuum operation pulls and holds a vacuum on the material for at least the Vacuum Time Set-point (or
longer if material remains in the Retention Hopper). The Retention operation holds the dried material in the
Retention Hopper. If equipped with the optional membrane air dryer, the material will be blanketed with hot
dry air until it is conveyed away.

Important: Inspect the ULTRA, verify that machine is clear of all material from heating hopper, Vacuum
Chamber and Retention Hopper. To facilitate a Clean Out, use the Clean Out function accessible from the
home screen.

Startup and Operation Instructions

1. ENSURE HATCH IS CLOSED. Ensure that all the latches
are properly closed on both the heating hopper door and
vacuum chamber access hatch. Also, make sure that the
removable retention hopper is in place and that the load cells
are properly engaged.

2. Load material into the Upper Heating Hopper. Wait for the
Heating Hopper to fill with material before starting the Dryer.

3. Turn on Main Power by rotating the 25 AMP Main

Disconnect Handle to the Red ON position. This powers up
the ULTRA-150 Dryer. On initial power up of the ULTRA, the
Control Panel powers ON automatically.

4. On the Home Screen:

Bulk Density – Bulk density is the weight per unit volume of the
raw plastic material as it is received from the material
manufacturer. This parameter is important to set to ensure
proper performance of the ULTRA-150/300. Bulk density can be
edited under ‘Advanced Info’. →

***WARNING: Without setting this parameter the machine may

not maximize its material throughput and/or have a chance to
overflow.

NOTE: If the bulk density of the material is not published

and is unknown, refer to page 26

T1 Inlet Temp Setpoint – This is heat hopper inlet temperature.

By the end of the preheat cycle time, all material in the Heating
Hopper will be heated to this temperature. By default, the
Setpoint temperature is set to 150°F. Contact the material
manufacturer for temperature recommendations.

Preheat Time – This is the duration of heating from a cold start.

Vacuum Time – This is the duration of a vacuum and is what

determines the cycle time. The default vacuum time is 20
minutes. In the vast majority of drying operations, this time is
adequate and does not need to be adjusted. Special
circumstances may require different vacuum times. Please
consult a Maguire dryer technician for additional information.

Press the setpoint field to adjust the setting. Use the on-screen
keypad to enter the setpoint and press the green check to
complete the setting adjustment.

ULTRA by Maguire - ULTRA Low Energy Dryer Maguire Products, Inc.

What is Happening When the ULTRA Dryer is running?

During the Pre-heat operation material in the heating hopper is brought up to temperature (T1s).
Preheat time is determined by the specified Preheat Time on the Pre-Start screen (timed preheat,
default 35 minutes) or by the Preheat Setup Auto option, which sets an inlet to outlet temperature
delta and a minimum preheat time.

After pre-heat, approximately one third of the material in the heating hopper is dispensed into the
vacuum chamber, and the first vacuum cycle begins. Each vacuum cycle has a minimum vacuum
time, set on the Pre-start screen, or the main run screen (VTs). (default is 20 minutes).

The loader loads the Heating Hopper with new material as the Vacuum Chamber receives the heated
material and heating cycle begins concurrent to vacuum cycle (the first vacuum cycle is timed). The
new batch of material in the upper portion of the heating hopper will take less time to heat. Minimum
time in the heating is dictated vacuum time.

After first vacuum cycle, material is then dispensed into retention hopper ready for use. Material in the
retention hopper is blanketed with dry air (if equipped with optional membrane air dryer).

The rate of consumption of dried material from the retention hopper ultimately dictates the amount of
time that the material will be preheated and under vacuum. Examples: If it takes 25 minutes to
deplete the retention hopper, the vacuum cycle will run past its 20-minute setpoint (pre-start screen) to
25 minutes. This is normal operation. However, if the retention hopper is depleted in 15 minutes and
the vacuum time is set to 20 minutes, there will be a 5-minute window where no material is available.
This indicates that the throughput of the dryer has been exceeded. If the Throughput Alarm is
enabled (Alarm Setup), a Throughput Alarm (Alarm Code 20) will be triggered.

Unknown Material Bulk Density? Try this…

Some materials do not have published specifications, such as bulk density, and it is important that an
approximated value be determined. The ULTRA will perform more efficiently, and throughput will be
maximized, if this parameter is properly set prior to operation. Follow the steps below.

1. Power on your ULTRA-150 or ULTRA-300; ensure machine is free from any material
2. On the home screen, verify that the ‘Actual’ Vacuum Chamber Weight and Retention Hopper
Weight read, “0 lbs. (0 kg.).”
3. ULTRA-150: Pour 1 cubic foot (~28 Liters) of material into either the vacuum chamber or the
retention hopper. Use images in table below as reference.
ULTRA-300: Pour 2 cubic feet (~57 Liters) of material into either the vacuum chamber or the
retention hopper. Use images in table below as reference.
4. Home screen will display weight of material in either chamber or hopper.
5. Calculate the bulk density but dividing the material weight by the estimated volume (1 or 2 cu. ft)

ULTRA-150 (1 cubic ft.) ULTRA-300 (2 cubic. ft.)

Energy Saver Modes

Maguire ULTRA Low Energy Dryers are proven to dry plastic materials 6x faster than conventional dryers
and use up to 85% less energy. This is due in part to the utilization of various Energy Saver Modes that the
user can enable.

LIM (limit) mode:

Preheat is unaffected. All post-preheat cycles: When the temperature of the air exiting the heating
hopper (T2) reaches ESL (default = 125°F), the heater and blower shut down. They remain in a
dormant state until one of two things happen: the unit cycles, or EST minutes (default = 30) elapse. If
EST minutes elapse, the blower and heater resume normal operation, bringing the material in the
heating hopper back up to temperature, then shut down again. This could continue indefinitely. This
logic is blocked for the first 5 minutes of a cycle to prevent residual heat from a previous cycle from
triggering a premature Energy Saver heater/blower shut-down.

DIF (differential) mode:

Preheat is unaffected. All post-preheat cycles: same thing as LIM mode, except the shut-off temp is not
a set value, rather it is based on a differential defined by the ESD parameter (default = 30°F). Example:

RTS = 250°F
ESD = 30°F

The heater and blower will shut down at a heating hopper exit air temperature of 220°F.
This logic is blocked for the first 5 minutes of a cycle to prevent residual heat from a previous cycle from
triggering a premature Energy Saver heater/blower shut-down.

DYN (dynamic) mode:

Preheat is unaffected. The first post-preheat cycle is run as a LIM cycle. The amount of heater/blower
dormant time at the end of said LIM cycle is then proportioned over the beginning and the end of the
subsequent cycle as per the ESP parameter (default = 02060) setting. Example:

During the first post-preheat cycle, which ends up being 35 minutes long, the heater and blower shut off
at VTA=15 minutes, equating to 20 minutes of blower/heater dormant time.

At the beginning of the next cycle, the blower and heater will remain OFF for (.60*20) = 12 minutes.

In theory, the blower and heater will be shut down for the 8 remaining minutes (of the 20 minutes) at the
end of the cycle (triggered by the ESL parameter as in LIM mode) if the throughput demand does not
change.

The “02” in the ESP parameter (default) is the minimum amount of beginning-of-cycle heater/blower
OFF time regardless of the previous cycle, so long as the previous cycle terminated via LIM.

The intention of the DYN mode is to allow a 3rd party loader to fill the heating hopper before heating
starts.

Setup Menu – Full Explanation

Setup is a password protected area for accessing Dryer or System specific configuration settings.
Setup is accessible from the main screen by pressing:

Press Display will prompt for a password. (default: 22222) Then press:

Parameters – All Dryers operate according to certain internal PARAMETERS. Because

customer requirements vary widely, we have made a wide range of parameters
accessible for change through the touchscreen. Parameters are grouped into the
following categories: Blower, Heater, System, Dispensing, Load-Cell, and Vacuum.
Parameters are covered on page 41.

Setup is divided into two categories: Dryer Configuration and System Configuration.

Dryer Configuration includes device specific settings such as: Alarm Setup, Auto-Stop Setup, Dry
Purge Setup, Preheat Setup, Auto-Start Setup, Convey Setup, Load-Cell Setup, and Parameters.

System Configuration includes system wide general settings such as: print options, diagnostics,
resets, system preferences, and communications settings.

The following section describes the features within the Setup Menu.

Dryer Configuration
Setup Menu Option Description / Options

Alarm Setup Material Shortage Alarm

OFF: Disables the Material Shortage alarm
WARN: In the event of a material shortage, activate the
audible alarm and strobe light but continue retrying
for material.
SHUTDOWN: In the event of a material shortage, activate the
audible alarm and strobe light and automatically
initiate a planned shutdown. Audible alarm with
sound for 15 seconds and the strobe will flash until
the dryer is completely shut down.

When Material Shortage Alarm is in Warn or Shutdown Mode Fill

Retries are ENABLED. When set to OFF, Fill Retries are disabled.
Material Ready Alarm - If the Material Ready alarm is enabled, this alarm
will trigger after the first and only first batch of material has completed a full
vacuum cycle. After 15 seconds, the audible portion of this alarm will
automatically silence. The first batch of material will remain under vacuum
indefinitely until this alarm is cleared. There are two main purposes of this
alarm:

1. To alert the operator that dry material is ready for the process.
2. To act as a hold-back, when necessary, giving the operator additional time
to prepare the process.
36 Rev. June 11, 2020
ULTRA by Maguire - ULTRA Low Energy Dryer Maguire Products, Inc.

OFF: Disables the Material Ready Alarm

1st: Material Ready Alarm sounds after the first and only the first
batch of material is ready to drop from the Vacuum Chamber.
Material Ready Alarm sounds after every batch of material is
ON: ready to drop from the Vacuum Chamber.
This mode can be useful in lab environments.

Material Temperature Alarm - When the Material Temp alarm is enabled,

during any instance where the Heating Hopper is called upon to dispense
material into the vacuum chamber and the T2 (heating hopper exit)
temperature is below the ESM parameter level, this alarm will trigger. Its
purpose is to alert the operator that insufficient heating has occurred, most
likely from a process throughput that exceeds the capacity of the ULTRA.

ON: When the Material Temperature Alarm is enabled, the

alarm will sound when this alarm is triggered.

OFF: Disables the Material Temperature Alarm

Residence Alarm (labeled “Material Residence”) - When the Residence Alarm

is enabled, an alarm will sound if dried material has sat in the retention
hopper too long. The RAL parameter determines when a residence alarm will
occur based on elapsed time and weight of remaining material in the retention
hopper. See the RAL parameter for more information.

ON: When the Residence Alarm is enabled, the alarm will

sound when this alarm is triggered.

OFF: Disables the Residence Alarm

Throughput Alarm - If the Throughput alarm is enabled, the alarm will sound if
the material in the Retention Hopper is used faster than the dryer can
produce dried material. (Material level reaches RTL parameter before the
Vacuum Time Setting expires VTS parameter)

ON: If the Throughput alarm is enabled, the alarm will sound

when this alarm is triggered.

OFF: Disables the Throughput alarm

Vacuum Chamber Dump Alarm - If the Vacuum Chamber Dump alarm is

enabled, the dispensing of material from the vacuum chamber into the
retention hopper is monitored using the CDR (Chamber Dump Retries)
parameter. CDR’s default settings of 05003 requires that at least 50% of the
material that is in the vacuum chamber be detected in the retention hopper
after the dispense. If it’s under 50% the dispense will retry 3 times before
triggering the alarm. Retries will continue indefinitely until 50% is satisfied.

ON: If the Vacuum Chamber Dump alarm is enabled, the alarm

will sound when this alarm is triggered.

OFF: Disables both the vacuum chamber dump alarm and

vacuum chamber Dump retries.

Parameters Explained
All Maguire ULTRA controllers operate according to certain internal PARAMETERS. Because customer
requirements vary widely, we have made parameters accessible for change through the keypad. In most cases,
these parameters will never need to be changed. Some parameters that are routinely adjusted values are
adjustable from the main display. To access and edit the parameters, see Changing Parameters in this section:

Changing parameters can have an impact on the Dryers performance. It is highly recommended that
a supervisor change the default Program Mode password to protect the values. Prior to making any
changes, make sure you understand what you are doing. If in doubt contact a Maguire Dryer
Technician before making changes to your dryer.

Full Weight Calibration

In order for a full weight calibration to be performed, a ZERO WEIGHT Calibration must be completed,
whether it be for the vacuum chamber or retention hopper.

Once, ZERO WEIGHT calibration is complete, a calibration weight or material of known weight can be
placed into the corresponding chamber. The weight should be close to 35.0 pounds (16.0 kg.) for the
ULTRA-150 or 70.0 pounds (32.0 kg.) for the ULTRA-300. Input the EXACT known weight (in kilograms or
pounds).

After FULL weight calibration, if the display reads “BAD CELL,” the weight being used either does not match
the weight you entered, the chamber is not free to move, OR the load cells are bad.

It is also recommended that a “Return to ZERO” test be performed where the weight or material is removed
from the chamber being calibrated and it is observed returning to zero.

If material totals are being observed, full weigh calibration is recommended periodically (approximately every
six months).

Temperature and Pressure Verification

Should it be deemed necessary to verify the ULTRA’s T1a RTD (heating hopper air inlet temperature measurement)
and/or pressure sensor (vacuum level reading), this page outlines how to accomplish this. We would first like to state
that “perfect” accuracy of both devices is not necessary for the machine to run properly. The manufacturer’s advertised
accuracy of the RTD sensor used in the ULTRA is to within 1/10th of a degree Celsius and, by the nature of the design,
will either work or not work. The RTD should never vary in its accuracy nor can it be calibrated. With that being said, if
the temperature were to vary +/- 3 degrees Celsius, most materials will complete the drying process within acceptable
tolerance levels. This is not to say that the RTD will vary in the temperature reading, rather most materials dry fine
within this tolerance. The pressure sensor, used for vacuum level readings, is accurate to within ±2 mm Hg. The
pressure sensor cannot be calibrated.

T1a RTD Sensor Verification:

The T1a RTD sensor is located about 1/3rd the way up the
heating hopper on the hot air inlet tube. Insert a handheld
reference thermocouple or RTD through the red silicone
hose (make a very small slit with a razor blade to allow for
this) as close to the ULTRA’s T1A RTD as possible.

Observe the temperature on the top red ULTRA display

screen and compare this to your handheld reference
temperature sensor.

Pressure Sensor Verification:

The absolute pressure sensor (vacuum level reading) is

located in the ULTRA electronics cabinet. Sensor
accuracy can be verified using two methods. Method one:
set the ULTRA to display in millimeters of mercury
(default) and compare the reading on the display to a
hand-held barometer device located next to the machine.
Method two: tap into the ¼” diameter green pressure
sensor air line (see arrow in picture at right) with a
barometer device. Measure the barometric pressure
within the line. Compare that measurement to what is
displayed on the ULTRA display.

Clean Out dumps the Heating Hopper or the Vacuum Chamber or both at the same time. The
following explains how to perform these procedures.

HEATING HOPPER HOT SURFACES:

As with all dryers, there are HOT SURFACES to avoid. Temperatures can reach 350°F,
(180°C). Typically, these surfaces are not at dangerous temperatures, however all hot
surfaces should be avoided.

Do Not Perform a Clean Out Unless ULTRA-150 Dryer is First Properly Shut Down.

For proper shutdown proceedure, see Startup and Operation on page 28.

During the Clean Out, keep hands and tools clear of all valves. DO NOT reach into machine
during Clean Out.

Using the Optional Heating Hopper Dump Chute (Does not come standard)
For easy cleanout, material in the Heating Hopper can be evacuated using the Heating Hopper Dump
Chute, if equipped. The Heating Hopper has a front side door for access to the full internal height of the
Heating Hopper. The Heating Hopper is non-removable. Prior to opening the front access door, removal of
all material is recommended. To evacuate material from the Heating Hopper using the optional Heating
Hopper Dump Chute, use the following procedure.

Note: Use of the chute is optional. Material can be dumped into the vacuum chamber, then into the retention
hopper and conveyed away from the VTA at the base of the dryer.

Lower the Retention Hopper Sealing Collar located at the

bottom of the Vacuum Chamber. The Sealing Collar is attached
to the base of the Vacuum Chamber with magnets. Detach the
Sealing Collar by pulling down.

Lower the Vacuum Chamber by switching down the Vacuum

Chamber Lift Switch.

Lift the Slider Lock located to the left of the Vacuum Chamber.
While holding the Slider Lock up, pull the Vacuum Chamber
slider out. Release the Slider Lock, which will rest on top of the
opened slider.

Alarms - Cause and Solution

Typically problems are indicated by an alarm condition on the Dryer controller’s display with an
audible alarm and a flashing strobe light. The following alarm troubleshooting chart will describe the
alarm condition and possible causes and solutions.

Alarm Display: Troubleshooting:

BLOWER FAILURE Problem: The blower is not running.

ALARM:01 Motor contactor overload relay has tripped. See wiring diagram on page 104 for
Blower Motor Contactor. Item # 3, overload relay on wiring diagram. This alarm
will trigger a dryer shutdown.

Solution: Reset contactor. Check that blower motor shaft is not locked. Check
line voltage to machine; make sure voltage is not too low which can cause an
increase in amperage. Check that power source has not lost a phase.
NO HEAT Problem: No heat or inadequate heat detected by the Heating
ALARM:02 Hopper inlet RTD.
This alarm is triggered by the NH1 parameter. NH1 parameter is the maximum
time limit, in seconds, after the heat cycle begins, during which one of the
following two conditions must be detected: Either the temperature must climb 20
degrees, or the temperature must move at least 20 percent toward the target
temperature. If neither condition is met the “NO HEAT” alarm will sound. Such an
occurrence would signal a failure of either the heater or the airflow from the
blower. This parameter and consequent alarm protects the heater from burn out in
the event the blower fails or airflow is blocked.

Solution: Check for airflow from the blower. Check for a blower inlet obstruction,
check that 2” air duct from blower to heater is not detached, obstructed or
perforated. Check 2” air duct from top of heater to heating hopper inlet for
detachment, obstruction or perforation. Check continuity across heater leads.
See wiring diagram on page 104. If the dryer’s heater shorted, the result would be
a trip of the breaker or fuse supplying power to the ULTRA-150 dryer.

SETPOINT EXCEEDED Problem: The heating hopper air inlet temperature has exceeded
ALARM:03 set-point by an excessive amount.
If the Heating hopper air inlet temperature (T1a sensor) goes 20F over set-point
(PTS parameter), this fatal alarm is triggered.

Solution: Contact Maguire Technical Support

TEMP OVER TARGET Problem: The heating hopper air inlet temperature has drifted
ALARM:04 above set-point.
If the Heating hopper air inlet temperature (T1a sensor) is over the degrees
specified in parameter OT1 (default 6° F or 6° C) for a time greater than the time
in seconds specified in OT1, then the alarm is triggered and the heater output will
drop by 20%. The alarm will occur but the machine will keep running. See OT1
parameter for more information.

Solution: No solution is necessary under normal circumstances as the dryer is

alerting to a temperature adjustment. If this alarm continued to repeat, contact
Maguire Technical Support.

ULTRA by Maguire - ULTRA Low Energy Dryer Maguire Products, Inc.

NO VACUUM Problem: The dryer failed to pull a vacuum after three attempts.
ALARM:08 Dryer attempted to pull a vacuum 200mm below atmosphere within 45 seconds
(default). Dryer attempted three times (number of default retries). After each
attempt vacuum was equalized and vacuum gates were opened and closed in an
attempt to reseal the Vacuum Chamber (possible debris or pellets preventing
adequate seal). Defaults are controlled the NVT parameter (retries and seconds).
This alarm is non-fatal. Dryer will continue to reseal after alarming.

Solution: If Dryer continues to alarm, check: compressed air connection and

pressure (dryer’s regulator should be reading 85psi). Check for debris in seals
above and below Vacuum Chamber.

RTD FAILURE Problem: RTD (temperature sensor) reading is above or below

ALARM:11 max/min reading
RTD Sensor is probably disconnected or damaged. Check temperature display
reading in a cool state. Temperature should display room temperature. If reading
is below -25°C or above 450°C RTD sensor has failed.

Solution: Contact Maguire Technical Support for a replacement RTD Sensor.

MATERIAL SHORTAGE Problem: Maximum Fill Time (VFT parameter) has been reached
ALARM:12 before target material weight (VTH parameter) has been achieved.
This alarm is triggered when the VFT parameter has been reached (Vessel Fill
Time) before the VCH (Vacuum Chamber High level), indicating shortage of
material in heating hopper or possible valve jam. The outcome of this alarm is
controlled by the Material Shortage Alarm settings. See page 36.

Solution: Check material supply. Check Vacuum Chamber fill valve located at
the base of the heating hopper.

LOW AIR PRESSURE Problem: Air pressure sensor has detected air pressure below 50
ALARM:15 psi.
Solution: Check exhausting lockout valve located on the front lower left side of
ULTRA-150. Ensure that the valve is open. Check pressure of air supply.

HEATER FAIL-SAFE Problem: The temperature safety switch has opened due to an
ALARM:16 overheat condition.
Located on the top of the Heater Tube is a Temperature Safety Switch. If the
temperature of the heater exceeds the safety switch maximum, this switch opens,
shutting down the entire dryer (FATAL Alarm).

Solution: Allow the dryer to cool. Open the left side panel of the dryer and locate
the Heater Tube Safety Switch on the upper side of the stainless steel heater
tube. Press the red safety switch button to reset the Temperature Safety Switch.
If problem occurs repeatedly, contact Maguire Technical Support.

VC MISSING Problem: The Vacuum Chamber is missing.

ALARM:18 If Vacuum Chamber load cell is reading 4.5 pounds (2000 grams) below tare
during AUTO run, this alarm is triggered and Dryer stops (fatal). This alarm is
generally caused by a missing Vacuum Chamber but may also be caused by the
dryer Vacuum Chamber load cells having been zero calibrated while material was
in the Vacuum Chamber.

Solution: If Vacuum Chamber is missing replace Vacuum Chamber. If Vacuum

Chamber is in place, ensure the chamber is empty and zero calibrate the load
cells. If load cells are damaged, a zero calibration may detect this.

Rev. June 11, 2020 79

ULTRA by Maguire - ULTRA Low Energy Dryer Maguire Products, Inc.

RH MISSING Problem: The Retention Hopper is missing.

ALARM:19 If Retention Hopper load cell is reading 6.6 pounds (3000 grams) for the ULTRA-
150 or 11 pounds (5000 grams) below tare during AUTO run, this alarm is
triggered and Dryer stops (fatal). This alarm is generally caused by a missing
Retention Hopper but may also be caused by dryer Retention Hopper load cells
having been zero calibrated while material was in the Retention Hopper.

Solution: If Retention Hopper is missing replace Retention Hopper. If Retention

Hopper is in place, ensure the hopper is empty and zero calibrate the load cells.
If load cells are damaged, a zero calibration may detect this.

THROUGHPUT Problem: The throughput of the dryer has been exceeded.

ALARM:20 This is an optional alarm (under alarms menu), defaulted to enabled. This alarm
is triggered when the Retention Hopper low level has been reached before the
vacuum timer has elapsed. This means demand for material has exceeded dried
material supplied. This alarm is non-fatal, dryer continues to run.

Solution: This is cause by exceeding material demand.

LOW VACUUM Problem: Dryer failed to pull vacuum down to target vacuum
ALARM:21 pressure set in VPL parameter.
Dryer attempted to pull a vacuum down to target vacuum pressure within 120
seconds (default value in LVT parameter).

Possible causes and Solution: If dryer alarms, check: compressed air

connection and pressure (dryer’s regulator should be reading 85psi). Check for
debris in seals above and below Vacuum Chamber. Alarm may also have been
caused by a vacuum leak. Contact Maguire technical support if cause is not
found.

RESIDENCE ALARM Problem: Material has been in the retention hopper too long.
ALARM:23 This alarm is triggered by the RAL parameter. When the Residence Alarm has
been enabled, this alarm will sound if not enough material has been removed from
the retention hopper in the time specified in the RAL parameter. For more
information, see the RAL parameter on page 41.

Solution:
To prevent this alarm: decrease fill weight, or turn on Fill Weight Adjust (Material
Setup menu).
BATCH COMPLETE Batch is complete
ALARM:24 This alarm triggers at the end of a batch run, the end being defined as the time at
which the retention hopper is depleted to the HHL parameter level after the final
vacuum chamber dump of said batch run.

MATERIAL SHUTDOWN Material Shutdown

ALARM:25 This alarm triggers if the Material Shortage alarm is set to "SHUTDOWN" and is it
determined that the heating hopper has been fully depleted of material via the
VFA parameter criteria. When this alarm triggers, the ULTRA enters a Shutdown
state automatically. This alarm can be useful. For example: at the end of the day,
one can intentionally run the heating hopper empty (by turning off its feed loader)
and have the ULTRA automatically initiate a shut down at the appropriate time.

MATERIAL READY Material Ready

ALARM:26 If the Material Ready alarm is enabled under the "Alarm Setup" menu, this alarm
will trigger after the first and only first batch of material has completed a full
vacuum cycle. After 15 seconds, the audible portion of this alarm will
automatically silence. The first batch of material will remain under vacuum
indefinitely until this alarm is cleared. There are two main purposes of this alarm:

1. To alert the operator that dry material is ready for the process.

2. To act as a hold-back, when necessary, giving the operator additional time to

prepare the process.

AUTO SHUTDOWN Auto Shutdown

ALARM:27 This alarm triggers when an Auto Shutdown, that is, a shut down at a pre-
determined time, has commenced. "Commencement" is defines as the time at
which the final vacuum chamber fill has occurred.

HH MATERIAL LOW Heating Hopper Material Low

ALARM:28 On ULTRA dryers with an optional Heating Hopper Level sensor, this alarm
triggers when the "HH Mat. Level" alarm is enabled under the "Alarm Setup" menu
and the level in the heating hopper has dropped below the HHA parameter value.

MATERIAL TEMP Material Temperature Alarm

ALARM:29 When the Material Temp alarm is enabled under the "Alarm Setup" menu, during
any instance where the Heating Hopper is called upon to dispense material into
the vacuum chamber and the T2 (heating hopper exit) temperature is below the
ESM parameter level, this alarm will trigger. Its purpose is to alert the operator
that insufficient heating has occurred, most likely from a process throughput that
exceeds the capacity of the ULTRA.

VC DUMP FAILURE VC Dump Failure

ALARM:30 When the VC Dump alarm is enabled under the Alarm Setup menu, vacuum
chamber dumping is monitored. When is has been determined that the vacuum
chamber has failed to dump sufficient material into the retention hopper after a
certain amount of retries as defined by the VDR parameter, this alarm will trigger.
The vacuum chamber will continue dump attempts indefinitely, until the
"successful dump" criteria is satisfied, at which point this alarm will auto-silence.

Additional Firmware Update Information

Software updates can be supplied electronically, via email or by download. Software updates are named according to their
date of release. For instance, VTQ0620A.XUF can be interpreted as VT=Vacuum Touchscreen, Q=2017 (R=2018), 06=June,
20=June 20th, A=the first revision for that day. During the update process detailed above, new software found on the USB
flash drive is first copied to an internally mounted SD card. From the SD card, the software is then loaded into the ULTRA. If
there is ever a problem with the ULTRA and the USB port cannot be used or the ULTRA software is corrupted and cannot load
new software through the menu, new software can be acquired from Maguire and renamed VTUPDATE.XUF. This renamed
software can be copied onto the Flash Drive and inserted into the USB port of the ULTRA. When the ULTRA is turned on, this
VTUPDATE.XUF file will be automatically loaded into the ULTRA, restoring the software.

Theory of Operation / Performance

THEORY OF VACUUM DRYING

Water boils at 212° F (100° C) degrees. However, this is only true at sea level, which is to say at standard
atmospheric pressure, which is 14.7 pounds/sq in (1 bar), also expressed as 29.92 inches (760mm) of
Mercury (Hg).

At lower pressures the boiling point of water is reduced.

Standard atmospheric pressure can support a column of Mercury 29.92 inches (760mm) high. If we pull a
perfect vacuum above a column of Mercury, the mercury will rise in that column 29.92 inches and, for that
reason, the number we can expect to read on the vacuum gauge, at full vacuum, is 29.92 inches. Lesser
vacuums read lower numbers. No vacuum reads zero.

When water is subjected to a vacuum level of 25 inches (635mm) of mercury, it will boil at 133°F (56°C)
degrees. When plastic pellets are heated to 160°F (71°C) degrees, or greater, and subjected to a vacuum
of 25 inches (635mm), the water vapor within wants very much to boil. This increased molecular activity
within the pellet and the greatly reduced pressure surrounding the pellet drives the moisture from the pellet
in a remarkably short time. This then is the reason for the remarkable short drying time of a vacuum dryer.

PERFORMANCE
The true measure of a dryer's performance is determined by the moisture content of the resin after the dryer
has done its job. Resin moisture content, however, is not easily measured, so dryer manufactures use other
criteria to assure performance.

Conventional "desiccant" dryers use DEW POINT as a measure of performance. This is a measure of the
dryness of the air passing over the resin, but not the dryness of the resin itself.

For example, for a particular resin, experience may tell us that 180° F (82° C) degree air dried to minus 40
dew point, and passed over the material for 4 hours, is sufficient to reduce the moisture content of that resin
to the required level of dryness.

Since our ULTRA Dryer does NOT use dry air, we have no "dew point" to measure.

In our case, for the same resin, experience tells us that a vacuum of 25 inches of mercury (635mm) applied
for 20 minutes to material that has been heated to 180° F (82° C) degrees, is sufficient to reduce the
moisture content of that same resin to the correct level of dryness.

Therefore, just as desiccant driers assure dry material by measuring temperature and DEW POINT over
time, we assure dry material by measuring temperature and VACUUM over time.

When we assure that a certain temperature has been reached and a certain vacuum level achieved for a
correct length of time, we can then be assured the material is dry.

You may visually assess performance by monitoring temperature and vacuum levels yourself. Of course,
the final test is in the quality of the product you manufacture. We welcome your comments and
observations.

DECOMMISSIONING AND DISPOSAL

Decommissioning the unit: Disconnect the unit from the power supply. Disconnect the compressed air supply. Cut all
Electrical cables & Pneumatic Hoses to decommission the equipment. Disposal: Remove air hoses and inspection glasses
and dispose of with plastic refuse. Remove electric motor dispose of with metal. Remainder of unit dispose of with metal.
Controller: Remove battery and dispose of battery with hazardous waste. Remainder of controller dispose of with electronic
waste. Re-cycle any hazardous materials/substances in accordance with the Local & National regulations of the End User e.g.
Lithium batteries etc, specific attention should be paid to the European RoHS & WEEE Directives; remove any ‘sharps’ and
dispose of in accordance with Local & National regulations.

Flexbus Lite Setup and Configuration

Flexbus Lite uses a MAC address to individually identify each Flexbus pump and
receiver. Identification and numeric assignment of each Flexbus pump and
receiver is setup within the Flexbus Lite through the order that the receiver is
turned on and discovered during the Pump Assignment routine and the Receiver
Assignment routine setup processes.

Once the initial setup has been completed, Flexbus Lite will retain the setup and
identification of the pump and each receiver indefinitely. After the initial
identification order and numeric assignment has been saved, the operator can
later make adjustments to the receiver numeric assignment order and assign a 4-
character alphanumeric identification name to each receiver.
