WARNING

To avoid unpredictable system behavior that can cause personal

injury and property damage:

• Disconnect electrical supply (when necessary) before installation,
servicing, or conversion.

• Disconnect air supply and depressurize all air lines connected
to this product before installation, servicing, or conversion.

• Op erate with in th e ma nufac turer ’s spec ifi ed pr essur e,
temperature, and other conditions listed in these instructions.

• Medium must be moisture-free if ambient temperature is below
freezing.

• Service according to procedures listed in these instructions.

• Installation, service, and conversion of these products must be
performed by knowledgeable personnel who understand how
pneumatic products are to be applied.

• After installation, servicing, or conversion, air and electrical
supplies (when necessary) should be connected and the product
tested for proper function and leakage. If audible leakage is
present, or the product does not operate properly, do not put into
use.

• Warnings and specifications on the product should not be
covered by paint, etc. If masking is not possible, contact your
local representative for replacement labels.

Installation

1. The filter should be installed with reasonable accessibility for
service whenever possible – repair service kits are available.
Keep pipe or tubing lengths to a minimum with inside clean
and free of dirt and chips. Pipe joint compound should be used
sparingly and applied only to the male pipe – never into the
female port. Do not use PTFE tape to seal pipe joints – pieces
have a tendency to break off and lodge inside the unit, possibly
causing malfunction. Also, new pipe or hose should be installed
between the filter and equipment being protected.

2. The upstream pipe work must be clear of accumulated dirt and
liquids.

3. Select a filter location as close as possible to the equipment
being protected and upstream of any pressure regulator.

4. Install filter so that air flows in the direction of arrow on body.

5. Install filter vertically with bowl drain mechanism at the bottom.
Free moisture will thus drain into the sump “quiet zone” at the
bottom of the bowl.

Operation and Service

1. Manual drain filters must be drained regularly before the
separated moisture and oil reaches the bottom of the lower
baffle.

Safety Guide

For more complete information on recommended application
guidelines, see the Safety Guide section of Pneumatic Division
catalogs or you can download the Pneumatic Division Safety
Guide at: www.parker.com/safety

2. The particulate filter element should be removed and replaced
when pressure differential across the filter is 10 PSIG.

3. Ad sorbe r el ement s ar e designe d to adso rb vaporou s
contaminates. The relative efficiency of an adsorber varies
depending on the vapor to be adsorbed and the environmental
temperature. At higher temperatures, adsorbers become less
efficient.

Introduction

Follow these instructions when installing, operating, or servicing the
product.

Application Limits

These products are intended for use in general purpose compressed
air systems only.

Adsorber Filters are not effective on: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide,
methane, ethane, ethylene or hydrogen. For a complete list of vapors

Adsorber elements are not particle filters. All particles and

aerosols should be removed prior to adsorbing vaporous
contaminants. The initial pressure drop across an adsorber
element (1.5 PSIG maximum) should never increase. The
presence of any liquids, aerosols or particulate matter in an
adsorber indicates that the effective life of the element has been
exceeded and the element should be replaced and the system
cleaned.

that can and cannot be adsorbed effectively by activated charcoal
adsorbers consult the factory.

This document and other information from The Company, its subsidiaries
and authorized distributors provide product and/or system options for
further investigation by users having technical expertise. It is important
that you analyze all aspects of your application, including consequences of
any failure and review the information concerning the product or systems
in the current product catalog. Due to the variety of operating conditions
and applications for these products or systems, the user, through its own
analysis and testing, is solely responsible for making the final selection of
the products and systems and assuring that all performance, safety and
warning requirements of the application are met.

The products described herein, including without limitation, product
features, specifications, designs, availability and pricing, are subject to

The most effective method of testing whether an element needs

to be replaced is to smell the air coming from the adsorber.
Offensive odors will be present well before oil levels become
detectable.

4. For Coalescing filter, a 5 micrometer pre-filter is recommended
to protect the high efficiency filter and to prolong the elements
life.

5. The differential pressure indicator, located on top of the filter
body, gives a visual indication of the pressure differential
across the filter element. Change the filter element when half
or more of the orange piston is above the retaining ring when
air is flowing. For units without a differential pressure indicator,
pressure differential gauges should be used to determine when
the maximum recommended pressure differential has been
reached.

6. Shut off air supply and depressurize the unit, before servicing.

7. After servicing, apply system pressure and check for air leaks. If
leakage occurs, Do Not Operate — conduct servicing again.
