About This Product
Filter pressure regulators
, filters
and regulators
are components of
maintenance units.
Regulators and filter pressure regulators serve to reduce the applied system
pressure to a maximum, controlled operating pressure. Filter pressure regulators
also serve to coarsely filter the compressed air.
Additional filters remove particles from the compressed air. The passing
compressed air will be roughly freed of solid contaminants and condensation water
via centrifugal force and the filtration effect.
The F&B regulator version
with a restricted-exhaust connection is suitable for
use in the food industry and is equipped with a cover (
m
) over the pressure adjusting
screw (
q
).

Assembly, Commissioning and Operation
Assembling the mounting elements
The product can be assembled with a nut or a mounting.
Mounting the pressure gauge
1.
Apply the sealing material to the pressure gauge thread (e.g. Teflon tape or liquid
sealant) or insert a seal (according to the version).
2.
Screw the pressure gauge completely into the product thread (open-end wrench,
WS 14; max. tightening torque: 7 – 8 Nm) and align the pressure gauge.
Commissioning
O
Let the product acclimate itself for several hours before commissioning,
otherwise water may condense in the housing.
O
Check that all pneumatic connection ports are connected or plugged.
Commission the product only if it is installed completely.
Setting the pressure
1.
Loosen the counter nut (
r
) on the adjusting screw (
q
).
2.
Turn adjusting screw (
q
) to set the desired pressure (
P
2
).
– The pressure is increased by turning the adjusting screw in on the regulator.
– The pressure is decreased by turning the adjusting screw out on the regulator.
3.
Once you have successfully set the pressure, tighten the counter nut (
r
).
Setting the pressure, F&B version
1.
Remove the exhaust line (
l
) if present.
2.
Remove the cover (
m
) (turn counterclockwise).
3.
Loosen the counter nut (
r
) on the adjusting screw (
q
).
4.
Turn the adjusting screw (
q
) to set the desired pressure (see “Setting the pressure”).
5.
Tighten the counter nut (
r
).
CAUTION
Danger of injury if assembled under pressure!
Assembling when under pressure can lead to injuries and damage to the product
or system components.
O
Make sure that the relevant system part is not under pressure before you
assemble the product.
O
Protect the system against being switched on.
Sudden surge in pressure during start-up!
If pressure is not correctly supplied to the system, it will be exposed to sudden
pressure during start-up! This could cause dangerous and sudden cylinder
movements.
O
When starting up a system, make sure that the cylinders are in their end position.
For cylinders not in the end position, make sure they do not present any danger.
System is operating under pressure!
Incorrect installation could cause serious injury and damage the maintenance
unit/device.
O
Before start-up, check that all connections, ports, and maintenance devices
have been correctly installed.
