Air Source
Warning
1) Use clean air. Do not use compressed air containing chemicals, organic solvent, synthetic oil or
corrosive gas as it may be cause of breakage of components or operation failure.
2) Air containing too much moisture may deteriorate the performance. Install the refrigerated air dryer
or aftercooler before the mist separator.
3) Make sure that the supply pressure is not below the minimum operating pressure. If it is used at the
minimum operating pressure or less, pressure resistance increases, leading to the decrease of
operation life or operation failure.
Caution
1) Install the air filter AF series or line filter AFF series as a pre-filter to the inlet of the product in order to
avoid the clogging of early stage.
Maintenance
Warning
1) Release the pressure in the product to the atmosphere when replacing parts or removing piping.
2) Maintenance and checks should be done by following the procedure in the operation manual.
Incorrect handling of the product may cause breakage or operation failure of the equipment or
device.
3) Do not touch the product when operating at high temperature (40 to 60
o
C). The operators may get
burnt. Be sure to confirm that the temperature of the container or operating part is reduced to 40
o
C
or less to prevent burns.
4) On a product with an element service indicator, perform regular checks to find cracks, scratches, or
other deterioration of the indicator window. If any crack, scratch, and other defect is observed,
replace the element service indicator with new a one because such a defect may cause the product
to be broken. Investigate and/or review the operating conditions if necessary.
5) Check for dirt in the bowl periodically. If any dirt is seen, replace with new bowl.
6) Open and close drain cock by hand. The use of tools can result in damage to the product.
7) Replace the element before 2 years passed from start of use or pressure drop (difference between
the inlet pressure and outlet pressure) reaches 0.1MPa. Or if the element is broken.
Caution
1) Check the element periodically and replace it with a new one if necessary. If it is found that outlet
pressure drops or the flow is restricted, check the condition of the element.
2) For the N.C. type auto drain, when there is no pressure, condensate which does not operate the
auto drain mechanism will remain in the bowl. It is recommended to release the residual condensate
manually at the end of the working day.
3) Products with an element service indicator show a red indication as the element clogging
progresses. Ensure that the element is replaced before the red indication reaches the upper limit.
