1/4 - MODULAIR Mini
InstructIon manual
The air filter removes impurities from the airstream two ways: dynamically by
centrifugal force, by which the deflector throws out heavier particles and entrained
water; and statically through the filter element itself, which filters out the smaller
particles. The filter provides enough filtration for most pneumatic applications;
however, in situations where water and/or oil aerosols must also be filtered out,
a coalescing filter should also be installed.

InstallatIon
Install units in pipeline so that flow is with the arrows as indicated on faces of body. Install as
near as possible to equipment serviced.
CoMBInatIon UnIt assEMBlY
To assemble units in combination, use required adapters (see TOPRING catalogue
for details). Liberally apply grease to the O-ring and insert into the O-ring groove on the
filter "outlet" face or the lubricator "inlet" face. Regulator may be mounted in either up or
down position but not sideways. Insert assembly screws through slots in the body of filter or
lubricator and into tapped holes on regulator mounting face. Position parts with mounting slots
aligned and tighten screws slightly more than hand tight. Units are easily disassembled
in reverse order of above procedure. End plates and diverter block may be assembled in the
same manner as described above with the O-ring in the appropriate groove and the screws
through the slots.
To avoid unpredicTable sysTem behaviour ThaT can cause personal injury and properTy damage:
• Disconnect electrical supply (when necessary) before installation, servicing or conversion.
• Disconnect media source and depressurize all media lines connected to this product before installation, servicing,
or conversion.
• Operate within the manufacturer' s specified pressure, temperature and other conditions listed in theseinstructions.
• Medium must be moisture-free if ambient temperature is below freezing.
• Service according to procedures listed in these instructions.
• Installation, service, and conversion of these products must be performed by knowledgeable personnel who
understand how pneumatic products are to be applied.
• After installation, servicing, or conversion, media and electrical supplies (when necessary) should be connected
and the product tested for proper function and leakage. If audibleleakage is present, or the product does not operate
properly, do not put into use.
• Warnings and specifications on the product should not be covered by paint, etc. If masking is not possible, contact
TOPRING for replacement labels.
MaIntEnanCE
To maintain maximum filtering efficiency and to avoid excessive pressure drop, the filter
bowl and element must be kept clean. On standard filters, open drain cock (turn counter clockwise)
periodically and drain off any bowl accumulation before it reaches level of lower baffle. Bowl drainage is
automatic in the piston drain model, however, manual draining can also be done by removing the bowl.
A visible coating of dirt or condensate on the filter element or an excessive pressure drop indicates cleaning
is necessary.
ClEanInG
To clean, it is not necessary to remove filter from the line, disassembly is simple and does not require tools
(use the drawing below as a guide). Before disassembly, shut off air supply and depressurize filter.
Clean all parts except plastic bowl with alcohol and blow out filter body before reassembly. Wash filter
element in alcohol and blow out from the inside. Plastic bowls must be cleaned with household soap only.
PIston DRaIn oPERatIon
The piston drain mechanism is operated by the pressure drop created as air flow is initiated or as the air
line is depressurized. In order to drain properly, there must be sufficient dynamic pressure drop to trigger
the drain mechanism. The piston drain will not function with minimal flow and pressure variations or on
constant flow applications.
Polyurethane bowls, sight glass and sight domes on these units may be attacked by certain chemicals.
Never use solvents like carbon tetrachloride, trichlorethylene, acetone, or paint thinner to clean any parts.
These elements can cause crazing or failure of the plastic parts. The polyurethane resin parts are compatible
with most hydrocarbon based synthetic lubricants but, before using, check with the manufacturer of the
lubricant or oil for compatibility with polyurethane resin.
