4. Avoid piping that is rigid, such as steel piping, if vibrations are transmitted.
Use flexible tubes so that the product is not subject to the vibrations.
●
Usable medium
1. Use clean air (filtered to below 40 μm) for the medium. Contact the near-
est Koganei sales office or overseas department if you are considering
using something other than clean air.
2. Avoid using air that contains too much moisture and/or fluid.
3. If air that contains moisture and/or fluids is used, or if it is possible that
they may be mixed in with the air being used, we recommend using the
iB-Cyclone to reliably remove moisture and fluids.
4. Do not use the product if the medium being used is prone to extreme pul-
sating or surging.
●
Operating environment
1. Do not use the product in locations that are subject to direct sunlight
(ultraviolet rays); locations with high humidity and temperature, dust, salt,
or iron powder.
2. Cover the unit when using it in locations where it might be subject to
excessive dust, dripping water, dripping oil, etc.
3. Do not use the product in environments subject to external vibration or
impact.
Medium and operating environment
Contact a Koganei sales office or overseas department if you are
considering using something other than air.
Using air that contains too much moisture and/or fluids will cause the
product's functions to stop after a short period and will reduce the
product performance and service life.
If you use an iB-Cyclone, install an FRZ series filter regulator (without
water and fluids removal functions) on the secondary side.
Medium prone to extreme pulsating or surges will cause the product's
functions to stop after a short period and will reduce the product
performance and service life.
External vibrations or shocks may result in damage to component
parts.

Medium and operating environment
1. The temperature of the medium and the ambient environment must be
within the range in the specifications.
2. Use a device, such as a freeze-type air dryer or after cooler, to lower the
dew-point temperature of the medium to below the ambient temperature
so condensation or frost does not occur in the secondary pipes.
3. Do not use medium in the product or use the product in an environment
that includes corrosive components such as organic solvents, phosphate
ester type hydraulic oil, sulfur dioxide, chlorine gas, freon gas, ozone,
acids, alkaline, etc.
4. The bowl and the front cover of the pressure gauge of the filter regulator
are polycarbonate. This product cannot be used in environments with the
gases and fluids in item 3, nor threadlocking adhesive, leak detection
fluid, hot water or where it may be exposed to them. This product also
cannot be used in direct ultra-violet light. See the catalog for details.
Using the product in an environment that is outside the specified
temperature or with medium that is outside the specified temperature
will cause the product's functions to stop after a short period and will
reduce the product performance and service life.
If condensation or frost forms in the product, it may get into the
secondary side.
Using the product in an environment or with medium that is specified
in the above item 3 will cause the product's functions to stop after a
short period and will reduce the product performance and service life.
