US-EN Installation and operation instructions 1.5. Intended use The DRYPOINT M intelligence drying system with integrated nanofilter and pressure dew point control is designed for the ® removal of aerosols and particles from compressed air and subsequent downstream drying of the air, based on customer settings. Operate the DRYPOINT M intelligence only for the intended purpose and within the limit range specified in the technical ® data. Do not operate the unit with any media (fluids, gas/vapor mixtures) other than those listed above. Any other use of the device is deemed improper and poses a risk to persons, property and the environment. •...

US-EN Installation and operation instructions 2.3.1. Operating principle Humid compressed air (2) enters the unit through the housing head (1) and flows downwards through the core tube of the membrane element (5). A nanofilter is located at the outlet of the core pipe (6) fixated, which removes residual aerosols and particles from the compressed air. The resulting condensate is drained off at the base and is discharged by the float drain (7). At the nanofilter element, the compressed air is directed in the opposite direction and the humid compressed air flows through the membranes of the internal membrane element. A partial flow (9) of the compressed air will be branched after the membrane element and bypasses the sensor continuously in the purge air control.
Installation and operation instructions US-EN The control software decides in cycles if and for how long the complete purge air volume is to be supplied in order to achieve and stabilize the required degree of drying. This process is implemented by means of a cycle-operated solenoid valve.
US-EN Installation and operation instructions 2.4. Control and display elements The DRYPOINT M intelligence is controlled through the control panel at the top of the housing. The current operating ® mode is indicated by LEDs. Power LED (green) Indicates operating mode and power supply Warning LED (red) Indicates alarms, errors and malfunctions in Power...

Installation and operation instructions US-EN 3. Installation 3.1. Preconditions To achieve good drying results, you must ensure efficient preliminary filtration of the compressed air. Without a preliminary filtration system that meets the recommendations below, it is not possible to achieve satisfactory drying results. For details, see overview below. Equipment Equipment Central dryer W = Water separator F = Fine filter for the application with oilfree compressors S = Super fine filter for the application with oil lubricated compressors DRYPOINT M intelligence ®...
US-EN Installation and operation instructions 3.2. Installation When installing the DRYPOINT M intelligence, observe the direction of flow of the compressed air. If the compressed air ® flows from left → right, the purge air outlet (2) faces forward. • For maintenance and servicing, we recommend installing a bypass line (1). Take into account that there should be around 30 cm space for the operation of the control unit.
Installation and operation instructions US-EN 4. Electrical installation 4.1.

US-EN Installation and operation instructions 6.3.3. Service mode This function can be used to perform a review of the permeation rate at the membrane dryer during preventive service without the need to dismount the device. This check can be used to determine whether it may have to be exchanged. The control unit must already be in setup mode to be able to use the service mode (see 6.3).
Installation and operation instructions US-EN 7.1.2. Changing filter element The filter elements must be changed at least every 12 months. To change the filter element: 1. Close the shut-off valves (1) and open the shut-off valve (2) of the bypass. 2. Hold the top part of the housing, unscrew the housing extension (3) and remove it (4). 3. Remove the spent filter element (5) and dispose of it safely. 4. Insert the new filter element (6). 5. Mount (7) and screw on (8) the housing extension. 6. Open the shut-off valves (9) and close the shut-off valve (10) of the bypass. 7. Apply the new nanofilter service label (11). Risk of damage to the environment! CAUTION Spent filter elements might contain substances that are harmful to the environment.
