 Important Safety Guidelines
2. Frequently switching the unit ON and OFF can result in breakdown.
After stopping the unit, wait at least 3 minutes before starting again.
Failure to wait at least 3 minutes before restarting will result in built-in
safety devices activating (overcurrent relay, fuse) and could also
cause damage to the compressor.
3. Operate the unit in an ambient temperature of 2℃〜43℃. Operating
at temperatures below 2°C can cause the drain liquid to freeze. Also,
if operated at temperatures above 43℃, the condenser will be less
able to radiate off heat, a built-in safety device may be activated,
and the unit could shut down. In such cases, ☛ refer to page
10, "Diagnosing And Troubleshooting Abnormalities or Unit
Failure".
4. Confirm the direction of exhaust from the condenser is going from
the intake on the right side out the exhaust on the left side.
5. If the unit stops due to a built-in safety device being activated,
refer to page 10, "Diagnosing And Troubleshooting Abnormalities or
☛ the valve or install a bypass circuit in order to cancel out resulting
Unit Failure".
6. If this unit is directly connected to an air compressor, water removal
capacity may drop due to an influx of supersaturated drain water
flowing into the unit. Furthermore, this could result in reduced drain
release capacity of the built in drain trap, and water can be expected
to drain from the end pipe, so a drain filter and air tank, etc. should
be installed before the air dryer unit.
To Prevent Corrosion Related Breakdown
■The unit warranty does not cover damages due to corrosion.
This unit uses copper piping (phosphorous-deoxidized copper
piping) for refrigerant piping and piping within the heat
exchanger. In particular, if holes form in copper piping due to
corrosion, refrigerant leakage could occur, the unit could stop
operating, or breakdown could occur from water leaking out
from the air dryer compressed air outlet port. Furthermore,
copper is also used as a conductor in the machine wiring, and
corrosion in the wiring could result in shorting and possibly
compromise the safety of the unit. Therefore, it is very
important that the environments containing substances that are
■Precautions regarding the area surrounding the equipment
If NOx (nitrogen oxide), SOx (sulfur oxide), CO2 (carbon
dioxide), or other corrosion promoting compounds are present
within the factory, the air dryer and compressor should be
installed in a place such that they are not affected by such
substances. In particular, when these corrosive substances are
present in the working environment, enough care must be
taken to ensure that the air dryer and air compressor are not
exposed or affected. Also, in the rare event that chlorine-based
■Examples of corrosive substances
Examples (1) and (2) of the most corrosive substances taken
from copper pipe chemical resistance data are listed below.
Aniline, aniline dyes, ammonia (wet), sulfur (melting),
ammonium chloride, zinc chloride, hydrochloric acid, ferric
chloride, copper chloride, chlorine (wet), sodium peroxide,
chromic acid, iron acetate solution, potassium cyanide, sodium
※(1) Reference: "Shindohin Data Book ", Japan Copper and Brass Association
※(2) The items listed above are only a sample of substances known to be corrosive to copper and by no means represents a
complete list of such substances.
To Prevent Electric Shock
■ Always properly ground the unit.
■ Install an earth leakage breaker.
6 03GE6510402
7. If the unit is to be used with a compressed air line which could
introduce sudden pressure fluctuations, an air tank should be
installed after the air dryer so that the pressure fluctuations do not
go over 0.34 MPa/min. Sudden pressure fluctuations can damage
the unit.
8. Start the compressed air flow gradually. Suddenly starting air flow
can result in drain water rolling up which could result in damage
to the heat exchanger components.
9. Depending on the conditions of use of compressed air from the
end of the air piping, back flow of compressed air may be possible.
In such cases, a check valve should be installed on the outlet port
of the air dryer. Failure to install a check valve can result in
damage to the air dryer if back flow occurs.
10. If during air piping construction air blow is to be used, either adjust
sudden pressure changes. Sudden pressure fluctuations can
cause damage to parts in the air dryer.
11. Turn on electricity 12 hours before it is operated. A crank case
heater is incorporated in this air dryer to protect the refrigerant
liquefied in the refrigeration compressor and to make it start
smoothly. Switch-on without turning on electricity 12 hours before
its operation, refrigeration compressor incorporated may damaged.
corrosive to copper be avoided in order to prevent unit
breakdown due to corrosion. In particular, if there is repeated
dew drop and drying, and the presence of corrosive substances
within the heat exchanger, there will be the tendency for such
substances to concentrate on the walls of the pipes, leading to
a condition where corrosion tends to occur easily. Careful
attention is not only required regarding the environment of the
air dryer, but also concerning the air flowing into the air
compressor.
organic solvents(trichloroethylene, etc.), or aldehyde or alcohol
(from formaldehyde in building materials or methane, etc. from
process chemicals) could hydrolyzed entering the air dryer,
corrosion of copper pipes (similar in appearance to ant nests)
could form and therefore precautionary measures against this
occurring should be put in place.

3. Use the device at the ambient temperature between 2℃

and 43℃. Use at the temperature lower than 2℃ may
cause freezing of drain and a failure of compressor. Also, if
there is a risk that the temperature drops to 2℃ or lower
43℃
when the operation is stopped, attach an antifreezing strap
(a commercial product) to the auto drain trap and piping as 2℃
shown in on the right. When attaching it, follow the method Attach antifreezing strap
of use of the purchased antifreezing strap. Wrong method (commercial product)
of use may damage the device. Use at the temperature
higher than 43℃ reduces the heat radiation effect of the
condenser, which may actuate safety devices and stop the
operation of the device. In such cases, attach a duct for
leading outside air to the inlet of the cabinet, or provide an
outlet for discharging hot air outdoor. In that case, design a
structure so as not to cause the air capacity of the fan to be
reduced.

4. Install a device at a less dirty and less dusty place.

Dirty and dusty places contaminate the condenser easily,
which result in the reduction of performance.

●Do not use vinyl-based tube.
●Use the tube in length of 5m or shorter, and avoid a rising
piping, and tie up tubing to prevent it from moving around.
●If drain flow into the auto drain trap is poor, turn the drain
cock to the left to loosen and slightly increase the volume of
air flow. Doing so will allow the drain to flow more smoothly.
●Wrong piping of air inlet and outlet of the air dryer not
only deteriorates its performance but also may cause a
failure of the air dryer. Pay special attention to the piping.
●When air dryers are used in parallel, arrange the piping
that the compressed air is made to flow equally to the air
dryers. Consult your dealer or a qualified installation
professional for further information regarding installation.
●When air dryers are used in parallel, install them so that
exhausted heat may not be inhaled. Otherwise, heat
radiation effect of the condenser decreases and thereby
reduces the performance of the air dryer. Consult your
dealer or a qualified installation professional for further
information regarding installation.
●If the use of oil-free compressor etc. is expected to
generate much of scale in piping or if much of scale is
already generated in the existing piping, attach a line filter
before the air dryer.
●Rapid opening and closing operation of the valve in the
piping may cause the swirling of the drain or damage to
parts inside a heat exchanger.
●Take care so as to prevent dirt and foreign materials from
entering the air circuit when performing the piping work
