Safety instructions
The DRYPOINT® RA 3-160 compressed-air refrigeration dryer contains fluorinated greenhouse
gas/refrigerant.
Installation, repair and maintenance works at the refrigeration system must only be carried out by certified
skilled personnel (specialists). A certification in accordance with EC regulation 303/2008 must be avail-
able.
The requirements of the EC 842/2006 directive must be met under all circumstances.
Please refer to the indications on the type plate as regards the type and amount of refrigerant.
Comply with the following protective measures and rules of conduct:

Storage: Keep the container tightly closed. Keep it in a cool and dry place. Protect it against
heat and direct sunlight. Keep it away from ignition sources.

Handling: Take measures against electrostatic charging. Ensure good ventilation/suction at
the workplace. Check fittings, connections and ducts for tightness. Do not inhale the gas.
Avoid contact with the eyes or the skin.

Prior to carrying out works on refrigerant-carrying parts, remove the refrigerant to such an ex-
tent that safe working is possible.

Do not eat, drink or smoke during work. Keep out of the reach of children.

Breathing protection: ambient-air-independent respirator (at high concentrations).

Eye protection: sealing goggles.

Hand protection: protective gloves (e.g. made of leather).

Personal protection: protective clothing.

Skin protection: use protective cream.
In addition, the safety data sheet for the refrigerant needs to be observed!
Caution!
Hot surfaces!
During operation, several components can reach surface temperatures of more than +60°C. There
is the risk of burns.
All components concerned are installed inside of the closed housing. The housing must only be opened
by certified skilled personnel.
Caution!
Improper use!
The device is intended for the separation of water in compressed air. The dried compressed air cannot be
used for breathing-air purposes and is not suitable for the direct contact with food.
This dryer is not suitable for the treatment of contaminated air or of air containing solids.
Note!
Contaminated intake air!
In the event that the intake air is strongly contaminated (ISO 8573.1 class 3.-3 or poorer quality), we rec-
ommend the additional installation of a prefilter (e.g. CLEARPOINT F040), to avoid clogging of the heat
exchanger.
Caution!
Heating-up through fire!
In the event of a heating-up through fire, the containers and pipes of the refrigerant system can
burst.
