Specific Product Precautions
Mounting and Adjustment
1. A knob cover is available to prevent careless operation of the
knob. Refer to page 389 for details.
Caution
Selection
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 find 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 AD17/27: 0.1 MPa or more.
• Operating pressure for AD37/47: 0.15 MPa or more.
2. Use a regulator or filter regulator with backflow function when
mounting a 3-port valve for residual pressure release on the IN
side to ensure the release of the residual pressure. Otherwise,
residual pressure will not be fully released.
Warning
Piping
1. When mounting a check valve, make sure the arrow (IN side)
points in the correct direction of air flow.
Warning
Air Supply
1. Use an air filter with 5 µm or less filtration rating on the inlet
side of the valve to avoid any damage to the seat caused by
dust when mounting a 3-port valve for residual pressure
release on the inlet side.
Caution
1. When releasing air at the intermediate position using a T-
interface on the inlet side of the lubricator, lubricant may back
flow. 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 (AKM series) on the inlet side of the lubricator to
prevent a backflow of the lubricant.
2. If a residual pressure-release 3-port valve is mounted on the
inlet side of the lubricator, causing a backflow of air, it can
result in a backflow of oil or damage to internal parts. Please
do not use it in this fashion.
3. An F.R.L. unit shipped from the plant has its model number
labeled. However, components that are combined together
during the distribution process do not have a label on them.
