*Where excessive levels of CO and CO have been indentified as the norm, breathing air purifiers should not be used and alternative strategies should be derived from a risk assessment. When challenged with 750ppm ♦ When challenged with 65ppm ♦ All breathing air systems should be proceeded by high efficiency filtration regardless of whether an oil or oil free compressor is used.

9.2. Risk Assessment Prior to the installation a thorough risk assessment of the entire installation should be conducted by a competent person. Points listed below should be considered but should not be considered as exhaustive: • Compressor type • Condition of compressor/oil used if applicable •...
10. Mechanical Installation Once the purifier has been positioned and secured, install ball valves and pipe work (not included) to ready the unit for connection to inlet and outlet pressure piping. The diameter of the pipes must be sufficient to allow unrestricted inlet air supply to the purifier and to the application as shown in the table below.
11. Electrical Installation Mains Power Connection To install the mains power cable: 1. Remove the two screws from the top cover and lift from the purifier. 2. Locate the two catches at the top and bottom of the shroud and pull them towards each other and open the shroud to expose the controller.
12. Purifier Operation Locate the electrical connector on the underside of the controller in the shroud. Purifier Remote Stop/Start Control (if required) • To set up for remote control eco mode. Remove the link between pins 1 and 4 (3) in the electrical connector plug. A zero volt switching signal from the remote control needs to be connected between pins 1 and 4 (4).
12.2. Purifier Start-up • Ensure the purifier is securely hardwired into the power source. Do not allow the purifier to flow air unless powered up, switched on and cycling. Resulting effect could be bed contamination; requiring replacement cartridges. Ensure that the external silencers/mufflers are re-installed before attempting to start the purifier. • Connect all pipe work. • Ensure the inlet operating pressure parameters are between 80 - 145 psig (5.5 - 10 barg). •...
12.4 Monitoring Purifier Performance (Energy saving option) • The dew-point is displayed on the control panel. When the dew-point displayed is better than -67°F (-55°C) PDP the Purifier will switch into economy mode and stop cycling. When the dew-point degrades to -58°F (-50°C) the Purifier will restart cycling ensuring the dew-point is maintained at or better than -58°F (-50°C).
13. Maintenance 13.1. Cleaning Clean the equipment with a damp cloth only and avoid excessive moisture around any electrical sockets. If required a mild detergent may be used, however do not use abrasives or solvents as they may cause damage. 13.2.
14. Servicing Maintenance operations should only be carried out by competent and suitably trained personnel. 14.1. Servicing Guidelines • Maintenance operations only to be conducted when the system has been shut down, fully depressurized and isolated completely from the compressed air and electrical supply.
14.2 Service Intervals The following table details the recommended service intervals for this product. The purifier should be serviced in accordance with the schedule outlined below. Failure to service the product as indicated and/or without genuine parts may damage the product, cause serious physical harm and will invalidate the manufacturers warranty.
15. Troubleshooting Problem Problem Caused Solutions Insufficient inlet pressure Inlet pressure min 58 psig (4 barg). If not adjust inlet presure settings. Electrical Fault Ensure the power is on and the purifier front panel is illuminated; check the purifier is cycling correctly. Moist or contaminated bed Eliminate the cause of contamination.
Has the user carried out the recommended Risk Assesment? Is the product installed and operational? Are there spare parts on site? Has a daily check procedure been established? Does the user require any assistance from nano-purification solutions? I certify all of the above Yes/No Engineer:...
All nano breathing air products meet or exceed the standards set forth in CGA Grade D specifications for air quality as set forth by OSHA (USA) and CSA Z180.1 (Canada).
