Since it is possible to release exhaust air from pneumatic equipment
directly into a clean room, piping to exhaust ducts is unnecessary.
After the first element is saturated with oil, the oil flowing into the
secondary side is collected by the second element. This prevents
discharge to the outside for a fixed time.

Exhaust Cleaner for Clean Rooms Series AMP

1. When selecting an exhaust cleaner, refer to
the selection method shown below, as the
selection method will differ for exhaust from
actuator drive systems, etc., and exhaust
from ejectors, etc.
(Take note that an exhaust flow rate exceeding that of the model
selected can cause a drop in exhaust air cleanliness, reduced
performance of drive equipment and ejectors, etc., and damage
to the element.)
2. Exhaust from drive systems
1. Find the air flow required for the actuator to be used. When
operating with common piping, add up the required air flow for
all actuators that will be operated simultaneously and find the
maximum air flow.
2. Select a model such that the maximum required air flow
obtained in (1) does not exceed the maximum flow rate line of
the exhaust cleaner.
3. Exhaust from ejectors, etc.
1. In case of ejectors or other equipment whose performance can
be affected by back pressure on the exhaust air, confirm the
range in which the equipment will not be affected by back
pressure.
2. In the case of ejectors, the exhaust flow rate is the total of the
maximum suction flow rate and the air consumption. Since the
method of calculating the exhaust flow rate differs in this way
depending on the equipment, confirm this in the catalog or
instruction manual of the equipment to be used.
3. When operating with common piping, add up the exhaust flow
rates for all equipment that will be exhausted simultaneously
and find the maximum exhaust flow rate.
4. Find the upstream pressure in the flow characteristic graph,
using the maximum exhaust flow rate obtained in (3) as the
exhaust flow rate. Select a model such that the upstream
pressure is lower than the back pressure generated when the
exhaust flow rate is at a maximum.
4. Exhaust flow speed characteristics are
shown in graph 2.
1. Operate giving consideration to the effects of turbulence on
dust, etc., that has settled on the floor or other areas.
2. In cases where there is concern about the effect of turbulence
on dust, install in a location where dust will not be affected.

Air Cleaning Equipment Precautions 1
Be sure to read before handling.
Employ a safe design so that the following type
of unexpected conditions will not occur.
1. Implement safety measures in the system to
deal with accidents which may occur if
upstream pressure rises because of element
clogging or air supply trouble, etc.
Precautions on Design Mounting
Warning
Selection
1. Confirm the specifications.
The products contained in this catalog are designed only for use
in compressed air systems (including vacuum).
Do not operate outside the specified range of pressure and tem-
perature, etc., as this will cause damage or malfunction. (Refer to
specifications.)
Consult SMC before using any fluid other than compressed air.
2. When selecting equipment, first adequately
confirm the purpose for which it will be
used, the required specifications and the
operating conditions (pressure, flow rate,
temperature, environment), etc. Then select
from the latest catalog so that the specifica-
tion range will not be exceeded. Contact
SMC in advance with questions about any
unclear points.
3. This product cannot be used on board vehi-
cles or vessels.
This product cannot be used on board vehicles, vessels or other
transportation devices, because vibration will cause damage. If
this type of use is unavoidable, contact SMC in advance.
1. Do not allow flow greater than the rated flow
rate.
If the flow exceeds the rated flow rate even momentarily, this can
cause drainage and oil to be sprayed into the downstream side,
and damage to equipment.
Warning
Caution
1. Instruction manual
The product should be mounted and operated after reading the
manual carefully and having a good understanding of its contents.
The manual should also be kept where it can be referred to when-
ever necessary.
2. Ensure sufficient maintenance space.
Be sure to allow the space required for maintenance and inspec-
tions.
3. Be certain to tighten threads with the proper
torque.
1. When screwing in piping, hold the side with the female thread and
tighten with the recommended proper torque.
If the tightening torque is insufficient, this will cause looseness and
faulty sealing. If the tightening torque is too high, this will cause
damage to the threads, etc. Furthermore, if the female thread side
is not held when tightening, a large force will be applied directly to
the piping bracket and other parts, which may cause damage.
Warning
2. Twisting moment or bending moment other than the dead weight
of the equipment should not be applied.
To avoid damage, external piping should be supported separately
from the product.
3. Non-flexible piping is easily subject to the propagation of exces-
sive moment load and vibration, etc., from steel and other similar
pipes. Therefore, some type of flexible tubing should be used
between the equipment and the external piping to prevent this
effect.
Caution
Recommended proper torque N⋅m
1. Confirm the mounting position.
Since the mounting position is different for each piece of equip-
ment, this point should be confirmed either in this catalog or in the
instruction manual.
2. Ensure sufficient maintenance space.
When installing and mounting, be sure to allow the space required
for maintenance and inspections. Confirm the necessary mainte-
nance space in the instruction manual for each piece of equip-
ment.

Series AMP
Air Cleaning Equipment Precautions 2
Be sure to read before handling.
1. Preparation before piping
Before piping is connected, it should be thoroughly blown out
with air (flushing) or washed to remove chips, cutting oil and
other debris from inside the pipe.
2.Wrapping of pipe tape
When screwing together pipes and fittings, etc., be certain
that chips from the pipe threads and sealing material do not
get inside the piping.
Further, when pipe tape is used, leave 1.5 to 2 thread ridges
exposed at the end of the threads.
3. Implement measures to prevent drainage
from collecting inside piping.
For example, drains should be installed in the lower sections
of piping that rises, or piping should be designed with a slight
taper provided along the direction of flow so that drainage
will not accumulate.
Caution
Air Supply
Warning
1. Types of fluid
This product is designed for use with compressed air. Contact
SMC in case a different fluid is to be used.
Contact SMC regarding the types of fluids which can be used in
products designed for use with general purpose fluids.
2. Do not use compressed air which contains
chemicals, organic solvents or corrosive
gases.
Do not use compressed air containing chemicals, organic sol-
vents, salt or corrosive gases, as this can cause damage and
reduced performance, etc.
3. Operating pressure range
The operating pressure range is determined by the equipment
being used. Operation beyond this range can cause damage and
reduced performance, etc.
Warning

1. Maintenance should be performed in accor-
dance with the procedures in the instruction
manual.
If handled improperly, this can cause damage or malfunction in
equipment and devices, etc.
2. Maintenance operations
Since compressed air can be dangerous if handled improperly,
element replacement and other maintenance, etc., should be per-
formed by personnel having sufficient knowledge and experience
pertaining to pneumatic equipment, while also adhering to the
product specifications.
3. Pre-maintenance checks
When the product is to be demounted, be sure to shut off the sup-
ply pressure, release compressed air in the pipelines and confirm
an atmospheric release condition before proceeding.
4. Post maintenance checks
After mounting, repair or renovation, supply compressed air and
perform suitable function and leak tests. If an audible leak is
detected or equipment does not operate properly, stop operation
and confirm that mounting is correct.
5. When performing inspections, set the com-
pressed air pressure to zero.
When the compressed air side is to be disassembled for inspec-
tions or filter element replacement, etc., first confirm that the pres-
sure is at zero before proceeding.
6. Disassembly and modification is prohibited.
Do not disassemble or modify the main unit.
1. Do not step on or place heavy objects on the
unit.
The equipment may be deformed or damaged, and if balance is
lost, a fall may cause injury.

this can cause damage and reduced perfor-
mance.
1. Locations with an atmosphere of corrosive gases, organic sol-
vents or chemical solutions, and locations where there may be
contact with the same.
2. Locations where there is contact with sea spray, water or steam.
3. Locations which receive direct sunlight. (Sunlight should be
blocked to prevent deterioration of resin from ultra violet rays and
over heating, etc.)
4. Locations near heat sources with poor ventilation. (Heat sources
should be blocked off, because radiated heat may cause damage
due to softening of materials.)
Caution

1. Replace the element after one year of use, or when the
upstream pressure reaches 0.1MPa even if one year has
not elapsed. Note)
If operation is continued without replacing the element, the
cleanliness of the exhaust air will decline.
When replacing the element, also install a new O-ring.
(When equipped with an element service indicator (option-
al specification: T), the condition of the element can be
easily confirmed.)
2. When saturated with oil, red dots appear on the surface of
the first element. Check it once a day and replace it imme-
diately with a new element when red dots appear.
If operation is continued after red dots have appeared, the
second element will also be saturated with oil, and oil mist
imbued with red dye will be mixed with the exhaust air,
contaminating the surrounding air.
Note) The upstream pressure discussed here indicates the
pressure which arises on the upstream side of the ele-
ment when air of a certain flow rate flows through the
exhaust cleaner. The relation between this upstream
pressure and the air flow rate can be confirmed in the
flow characteristic graph on page 4.

take care that chips from the pipe threads, sealing materi-
al and other debris do not get inside the piping.
Further, when pipe tape is used, leave 1.5 to 2 thread
ridges exposed at the end of the threads.
3. Mount the unit vertically. Furthermore, when mounting is
performed, the case section (resin) will be damaged if it is
held while screwing in piping, etc. Screw in piping while
holding the upper body area (die-cast aluminum) with a
wrench or other tool.
4. In cases such as common piping, reverse flow may occur
depending on the timing for switching of solenoid valves,
etc. In this situation, install a check valve on the upstream
side.
5. Ensure the necessary space for maintenance and inspec-
tions. (Confirm with the dimensions on page 3.)
1. Do not use in environments or locations where there is a
danger of the case or element service indicator (optional
specification: T) being penetrated.
2. Since the case material is nylon, avoid use in environments
with chemicals such as alcohol, thinner, carbon tetrachlo-
ride, chloroform, aniline, cyclohexane, trichloroethylene,
sulfuric acid, lactic acid, water soluble cutting oil (alkaline),
etc.
Furthermore, use a neutral detergent for cleaning the
case.
3. Do not use in locations where static electric charge will be
a problem.
4. Block off heat from nearby heat sources.
If heat sources are located nearby, the temperature of the
product may rise above the operating temperature range
due to radiated heat. Block off this heat with a cover, etc.
1. The product cannot be used with air containing water
droplets.
2. Install a mist separator (series AM), micro mist separator
(series AMD), or micro mist separator with pre-filter
(series AMH) on the air supply side.
