1.5. Intended use
The BEKOMAT®is an electronically level-controlled condensate drain for compressed air systems. It is able to drain condensate
from the plant components at operating pressure and with virtually no compressed air loss.
• The device must only be operated when equipped with original spare parts and accessories.
• Do not install the BEKOMAT® 8/9 in areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere.
• Permissible media: condensate, oil-contaminated or oil-free
Operate the BEKOMAT® only for the intended purpose and within the limit ranges specied in the technical data. Do not operate
the device with any media (uids, gas/vapour mixtures) other than those listed above. Any other use of the device is deemed
improper and poses a risk to persons, property and the environment.
1.6. Warranty and liability
All warranty shall be voided, if the BEKOMAT® is used improperly, for a purpose other than the intended or is operated outside the
limits specified in the technical data. In such cases, the manufacturer shall also reject any liability for damages. Improper operation
includes:
• Incorrect installation, commissioning or operation; insucient maintenance
• Operation with defective components
• Non-compliance with the instructions in this document, in particular the safety instructions
• Modication of the device
• Use of third-party spare parts that have not been approved by the manufacturer

2.3. Function
Discharge
The condensate enters the container (1) through the
condensate inlet.
The container can be lled to the limit, as the pressure is
equalised through the venting line (2).
The capacitive dual sensor (3) constantly monitors the
lling level in the container.
As soon as the container is full, the sensor sends a
signal to the electric control (4). The electric control
actuates the solenoid valve (5), and a large outlet
diaphragm is opened to allow the condensate to be
discharged.
While the container is under system pressure (min.
0.5 bar), all condensate in the container is drained o
through the condensate drain (6).
The sensor measures the discharge rate, which is used
to control the maximum valve opening time.
Should the condensate fail to drain o, the valve is closed
after 2.5 seconds and automatically opened again after 2
seconds. This procedure is repeated for 1 minute
as the control system tries to resolve the problem.
2.3.1. Alarm mode
The BEKOMAT® is continuously monitored by electronic and sensory devices. If a fault or malfunction occurs, the BEKOMAT®
is automatically switched to alarm mode (e.g. due to blocked condensate discharge, or overload). In alarm mode, the solenoid
valve is automatically opened, starting in cycle mode in order to eliminate the problem. If the problem persists for more than one
minute, the red alarm LED flashes and the optocoupler output is switched. The valve is then repeatedly opened every four minutes
for 7.5 seconds, until the problem is resolved automatically or by servicing the device. After the problem has been resolved, the
BEKOMAT®automatically switches to normal operating mode.
