PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The BD1500W series dehydrators are used for pressurisation of broadcast antennas and transmission lines. The dehydrator removes the moisture from damp ambient air to deliver a reliable, constant, on-demand source of dry, pressurised air.
The inherent reliability of the BD series design, combined with the high output capacity make these units an ideal choice for pressurisation of broadcast systems. Low pressure systems (suffix LP) are available for applications where reduced pressure is required, for example; pressurisation of broadcast antenna radomes, waveguide and transmission lines.
The BD1500W Series dehydrators employ a fully digital operating platform offering the most accurate readings of operating variables, either from the front panel or by a remote connection.

FEATURES / BENEFITS

Operating pressure can be changed by a simple adjustment at the dehydrator
Remote Real-Time Data and Alarm Reset Capabilities
SNMP Communication Compatible
Digital Display of All Operating Parameters
Imperial and Metric Unit of Measure Options
8,000 Hour Maintenance Interval
