Page 6: Safety Precautions
Instruction book Safety precautions Safety icons Explanation Danger to life Warning Important note Safety precautions during installation 1. Install the equipment where the ambient air is cool and as clean as possible. Consult section Reference conditions and limitations. 2. During installation or any other intervention on the equipment or one of the connected machines, the machines must be stopped, de-energized and the isolating switch opened and locked before any maintenance or repair.
Page 7: Safety Precautions During Operation
Instruction book Safety precautions during operation All responsibility for any damage or injury resulting from neglecting these precautions, or non-observance of the normal caution and care required for installation, operation, maintenance and repair, even if not expressly stated, will be disclaimed by the manufacturer.
Page 8: Disposal Of Used Material
Instruction book 7. Never use a light source with open flame for inspecting the interior of the device. 8. All regulating and safety devices shall be maintained with due care to ensure that they function properly. They may not be put out of action. 9.
Page 9: Description
Instruction book Description General description Quincy filters are available in a number of grades and sizes. (P, M, C, A, sizes 1–18) (WS, sizes 1–13) Naming of the filters: QPF (flow)(connection)(-/indicator/gauge) Example: QPF 280 (G1 1/4) G is a Quincy P grade Filter with a nominal flow of 280 scfm, a N1 1/4 connection with a pressure gauge.

Page 14 Instruction book Always observe the correct air flow direction. Install a G filter upstream of a C grade filter. An arrow indicating the air flow direction is shown on the filter head or differential pressure indicator. Wall mounting kit For wall mounting, a special set is available as option. Fit the mounting brackets with bolts, washers and nuts to a solid frame within easy reach, leaving sufficient space for maintenance and service.
Page 15 Instruction book Electronic drain The electronic drain is a zero loss, electronically operated drain valve, specially designed to drain oil condensate. A sensor senses the condensate level. If this level exceeds a preset value, the drain waits for a fixed programmed time, then a solenoid valve is activated and the condensate is discharged.
Page 16: Installation
Instruction book Installation General remarks When installing the filter, keep in mind the following: • Be sure that the piping is internally clean, especially downstream of the filter. • Select the filter grade in line with the application requirements. When selecting the filter size, take care that the maximum flow capacity is not exceeded to make sure that filtration performance and filter lifetime are guaranteed.
Page 17: Specific Remarks
Instruction book • Open and close isolating valves slowly, as a sudden pressure rise or pressure drop can cause irreversible damage to the filter element. Specific remarks P filter The P grade filter can be used in installations where high oil or dust loads are expected. In critical applications it is recommended to install a grade G (for oil) or a grade S (for dust) or a grade C (for oil) or a grade D (for dust) filter downstream the P filter to improve the air quality.
Page 18: Iso 8573-1
Instruction book S filter and D filter When the S and D filters are used with an adsorption type air dryer, install the filter downstream of the dryer. V filter To protect the activated carbon element, a V filter must always be preceded by a G and C filter. The filter should be mounted as close as possible to the point of use of the air.

General purpose protection With grade P filter: air quality to ISO 8573-1: class 4:-:3 With grade G filter: air quality to ISO 8573-1: class 3:-:3 High quality air with reduced dew point (air quality to ISO 8573-1: class 1:4:1) General purpose protection and reduced oil concentration (air quality to ISO 8573-1: class 1:-:2)

Page 21: Maintenance
Instruction book Maintenance Maintenance When maintaining the filter, keep in mind the following: • On filters with manual drain valve, open the latter at regular intervals to evacuate collected dust or liquid. • In case an automatic drain valve or a solenoid timer drain is installed, manual draining can be carried out by opening the valve counterclockwise to release collected condensate.
Page 22: Service Intervals
Instruction book 6. Remove the drain valve by unscrewing the retaining nut underneath the bowl. 7. Remove the O-ring from the filter head and clean the o-ring groove. Position a new O-ring in the filter head. 8. Reinstall the drain valve in the bowl using the retaining nut (tightening torque 3 Nm). 9.
Page 23 Instruction book Note that the indicator or gauge will not move into the red area but will stay yellow or orange during operation. The filter elements of dust filters (S, D) should be replaced after 8000 running hours or after 12 months (whichever comes first).
