The product is exclusively intended for installation in a machine or system, or for combination with other components to form a machine or system. The product may only be commissioned after it has been installed in the machine/system for which it is intended.
Use is permitted only under the operating conditions and within the performance limits listed in the technical data. Only use compressed air as the medium.
The product is technical equipment and is intended for professional use only.
Intended use includes having fully read and understood these instructions, espe-cially chapter g 2. Notes on safety.

Improper use

• It is considered improper use when the product
•  is used for any application not stated in these instructions, or
•  is used under operating conditions that deviate from those described in these instructions.

Personnel qualifications
All tasks associated with the product require basic mechanical, pneumatic and electrical knowledge, as well as knowledge of the respective technical terms. In order to ensure operational safety, these tasks may only be carried out by quali-fied personnel or an instructed person under the direction of qualified personnel.
Qualified personnel are those who can recognize possible dangers and institute the appropriate safety measures, due to their professional training, knowledge, and experience, as well as their understanding of the relevant regulations per-taining to the work to be done. Qualified personnel must observe the rules rele-vant to the subject area.

General safety instructions

• Observe the valid local regulations to protect the environment in the country of use and to avoid workplace accidents.
• Only use AVENTICS products that are in perfect working order.
• Examine the product for obvious defects, such as cracks in the housing or missing screws, caps, or seals.
• The warranty will not apply if the product is incorrectly assembled.
• Do not place any improper mechanical loads on the product under any cir-cumstances.
• Product warnings and information must be legible, i.e. not covered by paint, etc.

Safety instructions related to the product and technology

• Lay cables and lines so that they cannot be damaged and no one can trip over them.
• Do not operate the product in aggressive ambient air (e.g., solvent vapors).
• No soiling may be allowed to collect on or in the filters, reservoirs or windows. Replace reservoirs if soiling cannot be removed from the drain (drain may be-come clogged).

Scope of delivery

The scope of delivery includes:

• 1x oil separator (according to the order)
• 1 set of operating instructions

About This Product

The oil separator removes oil from the exhaust; the filtering efficiency is 99.99%. The oil separator can also be used as a silencer to reduce exhaust air noise.

Assembly, commissioning and operation

CAUTION

Danger of injury if assembled under pressure or voltage!
Assembling when under pressure or electrical voltage can lead to injuries and damage to the product or system components.

1.  Make sure that the relevant system component is without pressure and voltage before you assemble the product.
2.  Protect the system against being restarted.

Sudden pressure increase during commissioning!
If no SSU filling valve is used, the system will suddenly be under pressure during commissioning! This may result in dangerous erratic cylinder motions.
When commissioning a system, make sure that the cylinders are in their end position. For cylinders not in the end position, make sure they do not present any danger.

System is operating under pressure!
Incorrect installation may damage the maintenance unit/maintenance equip- ment and cause serious injury.
Before commissioning, check that all connections, ports, and maintenance equipment have been correctly installed.

Connecting the oil separator to the tubing system or maintenance unit
The ideal mounting position is at the end of the air circuit.

Assembly without mounting bracket
See g Fig. 1, g Fig. 2.
Screw the tube into the (a) G1/2 – G1 connection.

Assembly with mounting bracket
See g Fig. 1, g Fig. 2.

1. Mount the bracket to the oil separator with two hexagon socket screws.
2. Mount the oil separator to the wall with two screws.
3. Connect the compressed air to the (a) G1/2 – G1 connection.

Draining oil manually
See g Fig. 1.
1. Turn the condensate drain (b) 1/4 turn counterclockwise and drain the bottom section.
2. Close the condensate drain (b) again.

Mounting the tubing for controlled drainage
See g Fig. 1.
A tubing (c) can be plugged onto the oil drainage fitting at the bottom for controlled oil drainage.

Maintenance and repairs

Cleaning and servicing

• Close all openings with suitable safety devices so that no cleaning agent can enter into the system.
• Never use solvents or aggressive detergents. Only clean the product using a slightly damp cloth. Only use water and, if necessary, a mild detergent.
• Do not use high-pressure cleaners for cleaning.
• Do not use compressed air for cleaning (blowing off) the maintenance unit or equipment.

Replace filter element:
See g Fig. 3.

CAUTION

System is operating under pressure!
Opening the system when it is under pressure can result in personal injury and cause damage to the maintenance unit/device.

Please ensure that the system is not under pressure before you open the reservoir.

Filters become contaminated with use and must be changed annually. This, how- ever, is only a recommendation, since the change intervals depend on the quality of the compressed air and the amount of air throughput.

1.  To change the filter element, turn the bottom section slightly counterclock-wise (a) and pull it off towards the bottom (b).
2. Remove the filter element (c, d).
3.  Then change the filter element (e, f).
4.  Screw the new filter element into the oil separator (g, h).
5. Re-mount the bottom section (i, j).

To place your order use the material numbers listed below. If necessary contact one of our addresses (see back cover for contact data).

Decommissioning, disassembly, exchange

CAUTION

Danger of injury in case of disassembly or replacement under pressure or voltage!
Disassembling or replacement when under pressure or electrical voltage may lead to injuries and damage to the product or system components.

1.  Make sure that the relevant system part is not under pressure or voltage be-fore disassembling the product or exchanging parts.
2. Protect the system against being restarted.

Disposal

Dispose of the product and fluid in accordance with the national regulations in your country.
