The compressed air must be:
1) Clean:
with no residues that might damage the filter.
Danger - Warning
Drain the piping prior to connecting the compressed air to the filter.
2) De-moist
- The air tank is provided with a condensate drainage tap. The user should provide for a conden-
sation separator.
3) Oil-free
-The presence of oily substances in the air could cause premature and irreversible clogging.
Use only filters that maintain the air always clean and oil free.
Tank inlet pressure
- Minimum 4 bar
- Maximum 6 bar
Variations in the conditions of use could require:
- Modifications of inlet pressure to the tank
- Modifications to the electronic board settings, which therefore vary the compressed air consumptions.
It is recommended to install a Kit (pressure gauge, air/oil pressure reducer) near the filter. A manual On-Off
device (ball valve or similar) must be inserted on the air supply line to facilitate the maintenance operations.
The required air quality must be equal to or over class 4 according to ISO 8573-1.
