INSTALL FILTERS 

A coalescing filter is provided to be installed on the inlet to the 
adsorber/dryer to remove entrained particulates, liquid moisture 
and  oil  which  can  cause  damage  to  the  desiccant  beds.  A 
particulate  afterfilter  is  provided  to  be  installed  on  the  outlet  of 
the  adsorber/dryer  to  remove  any  adsorbent  media  dust  that 
may migrate from the desiccant beds. 

Using  a  wrench  to  keep  inlet  bulkhead  fitting  from  turning, 
install  Inlet  Filter  Assy  to  left  side  of  unit  as  shown  in  FIG  2 
above.  Similarly,  install  Outlet  Filter  Regulator  Assy  to  Right

b. 

Reinstall cover. 

4.5 

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS 

Before plugging in unit, check the unit nameplate for electrical 
characteristics.  Standard  electrical  characteristics  are  115 
volt,  1  phase,  50/60  Hz.  Models  operating  on  230  volts  are 
available. 

IMPORTANT!:  No  overload  protection  is  provided  in  the 
adsorber/dryer  and  unit  should  be  plugged/wired  into  a 
protected circuit. 

4.6 

PIPING AND CONNECTIONS 

Inlet and outlet tubing should be appropriate for pressure and 
temperature of operation. 

See specification chart for  

inlet/outlet  NPT  thread size.  Teflon  tape should be  used in the 
makeup  of  joints  to  ensure  a  good,  airtight  fit  of  piping 
components.  Check  all  connections  for  leakage  using  soap 
solution prior to putting unit into service.
