sunlight.
2. Installation on equipment in conjunction with atomic energy, railways, air navigation, space, shipping, vehicles, military,
medical treatment, combustion and recreation, or equipment in contact with food and beverages, emergency stop
circuits, clutch and brake circuits in press applications, safety equipment or other applications unsuitable for the standard
specifications described in the product catalog.
3. An application which could have negative effects on people, property, or animals requiring special safety analysis.
4.Use in an interlock circuit, which requires the provision of double interlock for possible failure by using a mechanical

2. Handling precautions
Design
Caution
1. Connect the piping in consideration of the
purge air outlet port position.
Purge air is moist. Connect the piping to avoid troubles whic h
are corrosion of peripheral devices or malfunction caused by
purge air.
2. When very clean air is required.
(Supply to the air bearing, semiconductor blow etc.)
Connect micro mist separator o r super mist separator to the
outlet (in the end) of this product.
3. Time to reach the rated dew point.
A certain amount of time is required to achive the rated dew
point after the air begins to flow.
Refer to the time below as a guide, to begin operating outlet
side equipment after the rated dew point is achieved.
Standard dew point -20℃: approx. 10 minutes
4. Ensure that intermittent pressure is not applied
to the product.
(e.g.: Mount a solenoid valve on the inlet and operate it
frequently.)
It is possible to damage the product if pressure i s applied
intermittently.
5. Install a regulator on the outlet side of the
product.
If it is installed on the inlet side, dehumidification
performance will be reduced.
6. Do not use the product for applications that
requires bending and stretching repeatedly.
The product might be damaged.
7. With fittings for purge air discharge (Option: P).
The dehumidification capacity decreases in proportion to the
length of the tube for discharging purge air. Use the
one-touch fitting including in the packaging and the tube
specified size and keep its length within 5 m.
8. Keep the specified speed for operation.
Operation outside of the specified range may cause damage
to the product.
9. Consider the purge air flow rate.
Find t he purge air flow rate from the charts and calculate the
‘required outlet air flow + purge air flow rate’. The air supply
capacity must be at least equal to the calculated flow or the
required outlet air flow rate cannot be obtained.
Mounting and Piping
Caution
1. Do not obstruct the purge air discharge ports.
If purge air back pressure becomes too high or purge air
stops flowing, dehumidification performance will decrease o r
may become impossible.
2. Make sure to install a mist separator and a
micro mist separator or a micro mist separator
with Pre-filter on the primary side.
If the inlet air contains oil or water droplets etc., performance
will reduce and might be damaged.
3. Large quantities of dust (solid foreign matters)
or water droplets are present in the supply air.
When there is a large quantities of dusts (solid foreign
matters) in the supply air, follow above No.2, and mount the
air filter or main line filter in the primary side of mist
separator. When there are large quantities of water droplets,
follow above No.2, and mount the water separator in the
primary side of mist separator.
4. Do not use fixtures to the tubes.
Using fixtures on tubes may cause damage to the product.
5. Flush the piping before installing.
Before piping, please make sure to remove debris, cutting oil,
and dusts by performing air blow (flushing). If foreign matter
enters the equipment, it may cause malfunction and damage
of equipment.
6. Do not bend piping less than the minimum
bending radius.
Minimum bending radius of tubes is 35mm and bending angl e
is 90 degrees o r less. Do not bend the part of 50mm from
the nut end. Also do not twist.
7. Separate the purge air line and compressed air
line.
Do not blend purge air with compressed air line, condensate
piping, or exhaust ai r line of other equipment. If the purge air
will not flow, it may cause dehumidification performanc e
decline and damage of equipment.
8. Refer to the catalog how to install / remove
tube.
When you install / remove tube, follow the Fittings and
Tubing Precautions on catalog. Use tubes in the catalog..

Air source, which have supply capacity more than "required
ou tl et ai r f l ow rat e ( dr y a ir fl ow ra te ) + pu rg e a i r fl o w r at e" i s
required. See the purge air flow rate diagram on the catalog
for the purge air flow rate.

aqueous cutting oil (alkaline), kerosene, etc.
Strong
base
type
Lithium hydroxide, sodium h ydroxide, potassium
hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, etc.

Operating Environment
Caution
1. Do not operate the product at temperature
outside the operating temperature range ( fluid
and ambient temperature) of the specifications.
The membrane module (element) of this product is resin.
Operation at high temperature will lead to damage of the
membrane module. Especially when the product is installed
after the reciprocation air compressor, be sure to check that
the fluid temperature is not outside of the operating
condition range.
2. Inlet air temperature should be lower than
ambient temperature.
When this product is cooled by ambient air, water droplets
accumulate inside. It may cause the decrease of
dehumidification performance or flowing water droplets to
the secondly side of this product.
3. Maintenance
Maintenance
Warning
1. Do not remove parts or piping while pressure is
applied to the product.
During maintenance, set air pressure to zero.
Caution
1. Mount pressure gauge.
During a maintenance, mount pressure gauges to both inlet /
outlet sides for confirming the residual pressure.
2. Standard replacement period.
As a guideline the unit should be replaced after 10 years of
use (10 hours/day).
3. Membrane module cannot be replaced by part.
Replace the whole product when replacement is necessary.
