Filter Installation
The filters are supplied in a ready to operate condition and can be installed directly into the
pipe system. If options such as an oil test indicator or an electronic condensate trap were
ordered, these are included in separate packaging to avoid transport damage. These
accessories must be fitted to the filter before commissioning and in accordance with the
respective instructions supplied.
Requirements and preparatory activities
As a rule, the filters should always be used in the pipe system at the point with the
lowest temperature.
For changing filter elements, sufficient free space underneath the filter must be
provided (see dimension D in the following Technical Information).
A safety device for maintaining the maximum working pressure and the permissible
fluid temperature must be available.
Additional requirements and preparatory activities for filters with cartridge installed:
Dust may escape from the cartridge. Protect the downstream compressed air network
by installing a suitable downstream filter.
Fit filter
Filters that are suitable for paint must be handled with special care!
Minute particles of silicone or grease penetrating the housing and the filter element
might have a negative effect on the quality of the paintwork.
Therefore, always wear protective gloves made of cotton or plastic that are free of
silicone or grease when handling such filters.
Before fitting the filter the relevant section in the pipe system must be depressurised.
Check filter for possible transport damage. Do not fit a damaged filter.
If necessary, fit a bracket or pipe support. When selecting the mounting, take into
account the weight of the filter and the weight of the possible water condensate.
The filter must always be fitted vertically. The flow direction is marked by an arrow on
the housing top section. A reversed air flow through a cartridge can damage the
cartridge. Make sure the air always flows through the cartridge from bottom to top.
Fit filter in the pipe system.
Re-pressurize pipe section and check for leaks.
