For your own safety
Intended use
The technical data on the type plate should be noted and complied with. Any other use
than with the data shown on the type plate shall be deemed to be not within the intended
use. Within these limits, the filters described herein can be used for filtering compressed
air and nitrogen without restrictions. Contact the manufacturer with regard to design and
specific characteristics (such as compatibility of material) if you intend to use them with
other gases of fluid group 2.
Common improper use
Risk of explosion due to filtration of oxygen!
Never use the filters described here to filter oxygen! The filter materials and
lubricants are not resistant to oxygen. There is a serious risk of spontaneous
ignition or explosion. If you wish to filter oxygen, you must install a special filter.
For more information, please contact the manufacturer.
Hazard from filtration of critical media!
Filters that have been designed for filtering non-critical gases of fluid group 2 must
never be used for filtering explosive, flammable, or toxic gases of fluid group 1.
Safety notes
Hazard due to a sudden release of pressure!
Never remove any parts of the filter, or manipulate the same in any way, for as long
as the filter is still pressurised! A sudden escape of pressure may cause serious
injuries. Before carrying out any work on the filter, first depressurise the filter.
Hazard caused by hot surfaces!
The media that flow through the filter can have a temperature of up to 80 °C. Do not
touch hot surfaces. Note the operating instructions issued by the operator.
Note:
The activities on the filters described in these operating instructions may be
carried out only by authorized, qualified and trained personnel.
