1 General safety instructions
The correct assembly and start-up of any pneumatic appliances within a system is the responsibility
of the system designer or the person whom establishes the technical specifications.
As the products, described in this manual, can be used in different operating conditions, their
correct use inside a specific pneumatic system has to be based on their technical characteristics to
meet your specific requirements, after having been submitted for analysis and/or tests.
The performance and safety of the system is the responsibility of the designer who establishes the
function of the components within the system.
The air treatment unit (or single module) must only be used for servicing compressed air systems
in the industrial sector. The product is intended to be used to a standard and you must comply
with these instructions, all accompanying documents and with the relevant national accident
prevention regulations of the site.
The assembly, use and maintenance of pneumatic systems must only be carried out by qualified
personnel or by an instructed person under the direction and supervision of qualified personnel.
Do not interfere with the machine or appliance without having checked whether the working
conditions are safe.
Before the installation, maintenance or modification, make sure that any safety features are activated,
then interrupt the power supply (if necessary) and the system pressure supply.
Make sure all of the residual compressed air in the system and any stored energy (liquid pressure,
spring, condenser, gravity) is removed.
After installation, maintenance or conversion, the pressure and power supplies (if required) must
be reconnected to the product.
The product should then be tested for leaks and correct functionality. If the product leaks or
malfunctions, do not operate the product. This air treatment unit (or single module) has been developed
and tested exclusively to be used with clean and dry compressed air, free of chemical additives.
Operation with other substances or additives besides the specified ones is not recommended and
needs to be authorized by Camozzi.
The air treatment unit (or single module) must not be operated in aggressive ambient air (presence
of solvent vapors, etc.). Furthermore it must be checked daily for tears, cracks, deformations, or
other damage. If the unit shows any of the faults described, do not operate the system or if it is
in use, immediately interrupt its operation and exchange the damaged component. Remove any
accumulation of dirt close to the observation windows of the reservoirs where necessary to enable
a visual control of the correct function of the product. If it proves difficult to remove the dirt, replace
the part. When interrupting the supply, a residual pressure may remain on the secondary side of
the regulators (or filter-regulators) that may allow the appliance to continue to operate.
The designer therefore has to add an exhaust component to remove this pressure.
The product can only be put back into operation if it complies with the indicated specifications.
If for any reason these specifications are not respected, the product can only operate after authorization
has been given by Camozzi.
The instructions contained in this manual must be followed together with the instructions and
other information, related to the here described product, available in:
- Website http://www.camozzi.com - Camozzi general catalogue - Camozzi technical support.

it anti-clockwise until it stops; it is not necessary
push the clip to close.
Note
: this instruction can do for all modules with bowl,
so filters (F, FC, FCA), filter-regulator (FR) e lubricator (L).
> ATTENTION! In the filter-regulator (FR),
we recommend always to reset to zero the pressure setting
(anti-clockwise of knob to zero) before remove the bowl.
• During the product’s unpacking be careful not to damage it.
• Check that no damages, due to transportation or storage, are present.
• Before start-up, check the correct installation of all components. A non correct installation can
damage the air treatment unit and be the cause of serious injury.
• The components must be fixed properly, using, where available, the applicable Camozzi brackets
so that the device remains fixed even when the regulator operates at high frequency or in the
presence of strong vibrations.
• If the system is not equipped with soft start valves, sudden pressures could exist at the moment
of start-up, that could be the cause of cylinder movements. Make sure that these cylinders
are in their end position or that they do not cause any danger.
• In the presence of strong vibrations provide special devices / systems that can reduce the effect
on the component.
• When the component has been installed ensure that all pipes are properly connected.

- Push to open and hold in the unlocking clip
(see cap. 3.15
Turn 180° the bowl
),
rotate the bowl clockwise until it stops and move
it down from the body of module.
- Remove the filter element working on the teeth of the bowl (
A
).
- Insert again new filter element in the bowl until the teeth (
A
)
fix the element.
- Insert the bowl again in the body and rotate it anti-clockwise
until it stops; it is not necessary push the clip to close.
> ATTENTION! In the filter-regulator (FR), we recommend
always to reset to zero the pressure setting
(anti-clockwise of knob to zero) before remove the bowl.
4.2
Visual check of the life of filter element (F, FC, FCA)
- Visual check is GREEN = filter element work correctly.
- Visual check is GREEN
RED = filter element
begins to get clogged, it should replace it.
- Visual check is RED = filter element is completely
clogged, it necessary replace it.
4.11
Electro-pneumatic isolation 3/2 way valve
The electro-pneumatic isolation valve, Series MD,
are used to pressurize or depressurize a system line.
The electro-pneumatic isolation valve is activated
by using a solenoid valve (
A
) that works only
when the electric solenoid coil is operated.
This type of isolation valve is, also, equipped
with a manual override (
B
).
4.12
Pneumatic isolation 3/2 way valve
The pneumatic isolation valve, Series MD,
are used to pressurize or depressurize a system line.
The pneumatic isolation valve is activated using
the upper base (
A
) on which must be connected, via thread,
another external valve that provides the control signal.
To open the valve 1
2:
- Provide pneumatic signal from an external valve; with the opening
of the air connects the IN (
1
) with the OUT (
2
).
To close the valve 2
3:
- Remove pneumatic signal from an external valve;
with the closing of the air in IN, there is the simultaneous
output of the air from OUT (
2
) to exhaust (
3
).
4.13
Setting the fill time of the soft start valve
The soft start valve regulates the gradual inlet
of the air in the line of pneumatic system during
its start phase.The pressurization time is regulated
by using the adjustment screw (
A
).
4.3
Semi-automatic / manual condensate drain (F, FC, FR)
- In the manual position, to drain the condensate, you have
to rotate the nose nut (
A
) clockwise and pus hit upwards.
- Once the liquid has been ejected, release the nose nut (
A
)
and rotate it anti-clockwise.
- In semi-automatic position, to drain the condensate each time
there is no pressure; it is also possible to drain the condensate
when pressure is on the unit by pushing the nose nut (
A
) upwards.
- To change from the semi-automatic to manual position,
rotate the nose nut (
A
) clockwise, vice versa rotate the nose
nut (
A
) anti-clockwise.
3.5
Module orientation respect to the direction of the air line
During the assembling of the connection nipple
between modules, it is possible to orient the module
with steps of 90° rotation.
Module orientations are permitted for all modules
except filters (F, FC, FCA) and lubricator (L) that
have to maintain vertical orientation of the bowl (down).
