2 Transportation / Installation ２ Transportation / Installation Warning Use the product in the right way. During Installation, operation, maintenance, and check, you should be careful in keeping the safety of human body. Caution Transportation, installation, and maintenance including dangerous work must be done by a personnel who has enough knowledge and experience about the product and the sysytem. 2-1 Transportation When you transport the product, you should follow these instructions below.
2 Transportation / Installation 2-2 Installation 2-2-1 Location The product should not be used or stored in the circumstances as follows. Those circumstances will cause not only malfunction but also failures. • Environment where the product is exposed to • Locations where danger of thunder is apparent. rainwater, moisture vapor, salty water, oil and • Locations by loading on vehicles, marine so on. vessels, and so on. • Locations where dust or particles are.
2 Transportation / Installation • Flash the piping sufficiently in order to avoid any foreign substances such as dust, sealing tape, liquid gasket, etc. when piping before piping connection.Foreign substances in the piping can cause cooling failure or drainage failure. • Use pipes and fittings that have enough endurance against the operating pressure and temperature. And connect it firmly to prevent air leakage.
2 Transportation / Installation 2–2–5 Electric Wiring Warning No one but qualified person should do the wiring work. ・ Before wiring, you must cut the power off for safety. Do not work under any energized conditions. ・ Supply power from a stable place, which is free from the effect of surge. ・ Ensure that a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter(GFCI) with appropriate capacity for earth leakage and load is used in the power supply of the product to prevent electrical shock and burnout of the compressor motor.
2 Transportation / Installation 2-3 Cautions about Reinstallation Caution No one but someone who has enough knowledge about the product and incidental devices should reinstall in another place. And following instructions must be executed. If you move the product and reinstall it into another place after some operations (including trial running), instructions that are not only following ones but also all of those in the chapter 2 should be followed.
3 Operation / Shutdown ３ Operation / Shutdown Caution No one but someone who has enough knowledge and experience about the product and incidental devices should operate or shut down the product. 3-1 Check points before operation Before a trial running, check following points. • Installed Condition By visual inspection check that the product is installed horizontally. The product make sure the product is fixed enough with anchor bolts.
3 Operation / Shutdown Caution Avoid frequent On/Off operation, which can cause troubles. The auto drain used for the product has a structre that closes the valve with air pressure higher than 0.15MPa. Therefore, until the pressure increase, air will be emitted form the drain outlet at the begining of opening the IN side valve. Keep in mind that sometime the pressure cannot increase enough with air compressor that has low dischage flow rate. 3-3 Shutdown • Turn off the illuminated switch.
4 Maintenance ４ 4-1 MAINTENANCE Daily Inspection Check following points during usual operations. If you find some problems, immediately stop the operation and refer to “Chapter 5 Troubleshooting” as soon as possible. • There is no air leakage • The running lamp is lighting during operation • Drain is being discharged from drain tube • The pointer of the evaporation thermometer indicates in the green zone when it is running with pressurized air supply.
4 Maintenance Warning ・ Maintenance of the air dryer should only be carried out by someone with sufficient knowledge and experience of air dryers and related equipment. ・ Before carrying out maintenance, the important warnings in this manual must be thoroughly read and understood. Danger ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ When replacing or cleaning parts of the air dryer, be sure to remove the compressed air pressure inside the air dryer to “0”.
4 Maintenance Lock button 【IDF1E∼11E】 ・ Open the residual pressure release cock at the drain tube connection port to release air and drain fluid left in the product. Residual pressure rerease cock (Leave the drain tube connected and hold it with hand so that it does not get twisted.) ・ Because drain may be given by air pressure left in a product like a careful. Drain tube Open O S Close Drain tube rerease bush ・ Remove the drain tube.
4 Maintenance 【IDF15E】 Mark Lock button Lock button Residual pressure release cock Close Open Drain tube Drain tube release bush To remove the case assembly, turn it to 45°until the lock button and mark align. Then, pull it down slowly. ・ ・ pen the residual pressure release cock at the drain tube connection port to release air and drain fluid left in the product. (Leave the drain tube connected and hold it with hand so that it does not get twisted.) Remove the tube while pushing the release bush.
Air Dryer (IDF1E-10～IDF15E-10/20) ５ 5 Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Should any problem occur, inspect the following table, and if the problem cannot be solved, shut off the power supply and then contact one of our sales offices for further instructions.
