Specifi c Product Precautions
Selection
1. When releasing air at the intermediate position using a
T-spacer on the inlet side of the lubricator, lubricant may back
fl ow. Therefore, releasing air that does not contain traces of
lubricant is not possible.
To release air that does not contain traces of lubricant, use a
check valve (Series AKM) on the inlet side of the lubricator to
prevent a backfl ow of the lubricant.
2. If a pressure relief 3 port valve is mounted on the inlet side of
the lubricator, causing a backfl ow of air, it can result in a back-
flow of oil or damage to internal parts. Do not use it in this
fashion.
3. An F.R.L. unit shipped from the plant has its model number la-
beled. However, components that are combined together dur-
ing the distribution process do not have a label on them.
Caution
Piping
1. When mounting a check valve, make sure the arrow (IN side)
points in the correct direction of air fl ow.
Warning
1. Float type auto drain
Operate under the following conditions to avoid malfunction.
<N.O. type>
· Operating compressor: 0.75 kW (100 L/min (ANR)) or more.
When using 2 or more auto drains, multiply the value above
by the number of auto drains to fi nd the capacity of the
compressors you will need.
For example, when using 2 auto drains, 1.5 kW (200 L/min
(ANR)) of the compressor capacity is required.
· Operating pressure: 0.1 MPa or more
<N.C. type>
· Operating pressure for AD27-A: 0.1 MPa or more
Operating pressure for AD37-A/AD47-A: 0.15 MPa or more
2. When a pressure release 3 port valve is mounted on the inlet
side of the regulator or fi lter regulator, the residual pressure
can be released to the inlet side. However, if the set pressure
is 0.15 MPa or less, the residual pressure may not be
released.
When using the pressure release 3 port valve at a set pressure
level of 0.15 MPa or less, it is recommended to use a regulator
with backfl ow function.
Warning
Air Supply
1. Use an air fi lter with 5 μm or less fi ltration rating on the inlet
side of the valve to avoid any damage to the seat caused by
dust when mounting a pressure relief 3 port valve on the inlet
side.
Caution
Mounting/Adjustment
1. When the bowl is installed on the air fi lter, fi lter regulator, lubri-
cator, mist separator, or micro mist separator (AC25-A to
AC40-A), install them so that the lock button lines up to the
groove of the front (or the back) of the body to avoid drop or
damage of the bowl.
Caution
Be sure to read this before handling. Refer to the back cover for Safety Instructions, “Handling Precautions for
SMC Products” and the Operation Manual for F.R.L. Precautions, http://www.smc.eu
