Hospital shutoff valve - CLOSED.

Isolation (shutoff) valves - OPEN.

Receiver bypass valve - CLOSED.

One air dryer off line with valves CLOSED; the other air dryer on-line with the valves OPEN.

Main electrical power - ON.

Disconnect switches - ON.

H-O-A switches - AUTO (starting all compressor units).

Pressure gauge increasing to 110 psi.

Check that each compressor shuts down as it reaches its off-limit pressure.

Check that the mainline regulator is set for the desired output pressure and adjust if necessary.

Slowly OPEN the hospital shutoff valve.

Note: Opening the hospital valve may cause a pressure demand that brings the lag compressors back on-line.
This is a normal sequence.

Note: The Medical Air system is now on-line and in the Normal Operating Mode (lead/lag operation).

To verify dryer operation, refer to Appendix A for desiccant dryers.
