Key Features

  1. Modular Design for Easy Maintenance

    • Facilitates fast maintenance and replacement of components.

  2. Wall Mounting Compatibility

    • Designed to be mounted on walls for better accessibility and space-saving.

  3. Filter

    • Bronze Filtering Element: Ensures effective filtration and longevity.
    • Moisture Separation: Equipped with a separator and shield to efficiently remove moisture.
    • Manual Drain: Press-type drain allows easy removal of accumulated water.

  4. Regulator

    • Diaphragm-Operated, Relieving Type: Maintains consistent output pressure.
    • Balanced Poppet Design: Ensures pressure compensation for stable operation.
    • Lockable Adjusting Knob: ‘Press to lock’ feature prevents accidental pressure changes.

  5. Lubricator

    • Fog/Mist Type Lubrication: Ensures proportional lubrication based on air flow.
    • Fine Adjustment: Allows precise control of the lubrication rate.

  6. Flow and Regulating Characteristics

    • Provides consistent flow and efficient pressure regulation, enhancing the performance of pneumatic systems.

Installation Precautions

  • Flow Direction: Confirm the direction of air flow before installation and connect piping accordingly.
  • Pipe Cleanliness: Flush the piping to remove dirt, dust, rust, and other foreign particles.
  • Installation Environment: Install in a clean atmosphere to avoid contamination.
  • Thread Connection:
    • Use Teflon tape for taper-threaded connections (R), ensuring no tape enters the unit during tightening.
    • Use sealing washers for straight-threaded connections (G).
  • Polycarbonate Bowl Caution: Avoid exposure to synthetic oils, solvents, trichloroethylene, kerosene, or aromatic hydrocarbons, as these can damage polycarbonate bowls.

Pressure Adjustment Instructions

  1. Adjusting Pressure:
    • Pull the knob outward.
    • Turn clockwise to increase pressure or counterclockwise to decrease.
  2. Locking:
    • Push the knob back to lock at the desired pressure setting.
