3-2. Others 1. Working environment 1) Avoid installing this product where it will be subject to direct sunlight or rain. 2) Avoid use in environments where ozone is generated. 3) Avoid using this product where vibration and impact are present. 4) Avoid use in environments with moist air with a relative humidity of 50% or higher.
Page 24
3. Caution of needle valve with adjusting dial 1) To adjust the flow rate, turn the dial to the right to open or the left to close. 2) After adjustment, lock the dial with the sliding lock lever. 3) The flow rate control range is from “1” to “12” or “13” on the dial rotation display. Do not set the flow rate outside this range.
4 .OPERATION 4-1. Pressure setting 1) Pull down knob and rotate it after confirming not locked. (Refer to Fig.1) 2) Rotating H-direction (Clockwise) increases pressure, while L- direction (Counter-Clockwise) for decrease. (Refer to Fig.2) 3) Knob cannot be rotated when they are pushed to be locked. (Refer to Fig.2) NOTE: Use in setting pressure range.
5 .INSTALLATION 5-1. Piping 1) Ensure air flow coincides with the directional arrows on cover plate. 2) Flush air into the pipe to blow out foreign substances and chips before piping. 3) Refrain applying sealant or sealing tape approx. Two pitches of thread off the tip of pipe to avoid residual substances from falling into piping system.

5-2. Installation ■ When the mounting direction "No sign: Vertical mounting" is selected. 1) Installation is made with mounting hole of T type bracket. Refer to outline drawing. 2) Install so that drain discharge port faces downward. 3) Install as close to the pneumatic equipment as possible. 4) Allow a minimum of 20 mm above the top and 30 mm below the unit for maintenance purpose.
Page 28
■ When the mounting direction "T: Horizontal mounting" is selected. 1) Installation is made with mounting hole of T type bracket. Refer to outline drawing. 2) Install so that drain discharge port faces downward. 3) Install as close to the pneumatic equipment as possible. 4) Allow a minimum of 20 mm above the top and 60 mm under the filter for maintenance purpose.
6. OPERATION START/STOP AND INSPECTION 6-1. Operation start/stop 〈 Operation start 〉 1) After the regulator and needle valve is fully closed, gradually open the primary side valve. 2) Set the secondary side of the regulator to 0.7 MPa or less, gradually open the needle valve and adjust to a predetermined outlet nitrogen gas flow rate and oxygen concentration.
7 .MAINTENANCE 7-1. Periodical inspection 1) Perform periodical check if drain level does not exceed max drain level. 2) Pressure differential 0.07 MPa shows life time for oil mist filter, then element to be replaced by new one. 3) Use household detergent to wash the plastic bowl. 4) Do not use anything other than household detergents 7-2.
7-3. Element replacement Air filter Remove buffle by which element is fixed, after removing bowl. Use hex key wrench as buffle has hex. hole at lower part. Buffle, element and louver are removed at the same time. Follow the reverse steps when assembled. (Hex key wrench to be used…F3000: 10 mm, F4000: 14 mm) (14) ...
7-4. Membrane module replacement ■ When the mounting direction "No sign: Vertical mounting" is selected. 1) Slide silencer downward by loosening two set screws at silencer portion with hex key wrench. (2.5 mm) (In case of option E, shift supporter up and down, and remove exhaust adapter.) 2) Remove membrane module downward by loosening four hex socket bolts. (Upper face) with hex key wrench.
Page 33
■ When the mounting direction "T: Horizontal mounting" is selected. 1) Slide silencer rightward by loosening two set screws at silencer portion with hex key wrench. (2.5 mm) (In case of option "D, F, E, H ", shift supporter left and right, and remove exhaust adapter.) 2) Remove membrane module by loosening each four hex socket bolts from the left and right covers with hex key wrench (6 mm).
