  • Page 2 EMD12 Installation and operating manual Description EMD12 is an electronically controlled condensed water drain that discharges water trapped in the lowest parts of compressed air installation out of the system. This water is a condensed water vapor that is always present in the atmosphere. Because of laws of physics, some vapor always condenses during compression of air.
  • Page 3 EMD12 Installation and operating manual The main mode of operation is a water level triggered discharging. The valve opens when water level in EMD12’s tank reaches threshold and it closes back before the tank is empty. This way, only condensed water is discharged and no compressed air is lost. In the timed venting mode, the valve is opened when water level reaches threshold, too.

    EMD12 Installation and operating manual Safety instructions Installation and maintenance work may only be carried out when the device is  not under pressure. To depressurize the device, close ball valve and press the test button on device until pressure in it drops. Installation and maintenance work may only be carried out by trained and ...
  • Page 7 EMD12 Installation and operating manual Installation guidelines Keep to the safety rules when working with pressure equipment. The EMD12 should be connected to a pressure system by ball valve and pipe union. G 1/2" Internal thread This way, it is not needed to depressurize the whole system each time strainer cleaning or other maintenance takes place.
  • Page 8 EMD12 Installation and operating manual Horizontal drainage pipes must be inclined so that air could escape from EMD12 and that debris is flushed toward EMD12 (left). When horizontal drainge pipes are long, venting should be built (right).   Venting is made by T-piece. The T-piece should be located just infront of valve so that path from the EMD12 tank to the venting piece is as short as possible to prevent...

    EMD12 Installation and operating manual Maintenance For EMD12 to work reliably, a strainer should be cleaned regularly. The Strainer of EMD12 is located in the entrance to a valve. Its purpose is to intercept larger solid particles that would clog valve. Cleanings period depends on condition of compressed air system. The valve is due to wear.
