Description
ultra.drain UAD series drains are electronically controlled condensed water drains that
discharges water trapped in the lowest parts of compressed air installation out of the
system. This water is a condensed water vapor that is always present in the atmosphere.
Because of laws of physics, some vapor always condenses during compression of air.
ultra.drain UAD series drains consists of a water tank, valve assembly and electronics. The
water tank should be the lowest part of the compressed air system where condensed water
collects. In the tank, there is a water level sensor. This way, electronics could detect the tank
is full. Then, it operates the electromagnetic valve to discharge condensed water from
compressed air system. The valve is located in the valve assembly which is constructed so,
that it can be replaced easily. Another part of the valve assembly is a strainer where solid
parts of debris are intercepted. The strainer is located in front of the ultra.drain UAD so that
it could be reached easily.
In the condensed water leaving the ultra.drain UAD, there are still small particles of rust and
remains of compressor oil. Oil must be removed before the water is drained to sewage
system. To remove oil, water-oil separator ultra.sep UAS device could be used.
Because of its construction, the UAD could be attached to the compressed air system
horizontally or vertically. Under the pressure vessel or under the refrigerator dryer, the UAD
is fixed horizontally whereas under filters, it is more convenient to fix it vertically.
The valve is operated by electronics. It opens the valve when a button on the electronics
cover is pressed or when water level in the tank reaches threshold. Occasionally, a timed
venting mode that combines water level triggered discharging and timed venting is desired.
By pressing the test button, we could see if the ultra.drain UAD is operational. Besides, the
test button makes possible to discharge water that has collected in a system during
maintenance manually.
The main mode of operation is a water level triggered discharging. The valve opens when
water level in the ultra.drain UAD tank reaches threshold and it closes back before the tank
is empty. This way, only condensed water is discharged and no compressed air is lost.
In the timed venting mode, the valve is opened when water level reaches threshold, too.
Besides, when the valve is closed continuously for a predetermined period, it is opened
shortly although there is no water in the tank. During working day, water in UAD collects
rapidly so that venting period would never expire and there are no air losses. When
production rests, UAD is opening its valve. But since these discharges are short and sparse,
air losses are small. The timed venting mode should be used when there is a lot of debris in
condensed water and piping upward the UAD could not be inclined enough. Such situation is
quite common under pressure vessels. It may happen that air could not escape from the
tank upward the piping and while there is air around water level sensor, the UAD would
never open. In the timed venting mode, the valve is opened after the venting period has
expired and trapped air is allowed to escape through drainage. Now, condensed water can
reach water level sensor and UAD is opening its valve until all collected water is discharged.

3
The timed venting mode is disabled initially since situations when this mode is needed are
rare. The mode could be enabled through the service network.
To service network, only types of UAD with communication electronics built in could be
connected. The service network is used for uploading data that are collected in UAD during
its operation. The data are elapsed hours, number of water discharging, current water level
in the tank and other data that could help to supervise and troubleshoot the system.
Through the service network, some operating parameters of UAD like venting period in
timed venting mode could be set. Additionally, valve could be operated remotely.

Safety instructions
Installation and maintenance work may only be carried out when the device is not
under pressure. To depressurize the device, close ball valve and press the test button
on device until pressure in it drops.
Installation and maintenance work may only be carried out by trained and
experienced personnel.
Installation and maintenance workers must use proper safety / protection equipment
(e.g. protection gloves, protection goggles, …)
Disconnect electrical power supply before opening the top cover of the device.
Installation and maintenance work may only be carried out when electrical power
supply is disconnected.
Electrical work must always be carried out by qualified electrician.
Do not exceed maximal operating pressure or operating temperature range
(see data label).
Do not use the device in hazardous areas with potentially explosive atmospheres.
Use original spare parts only.
Use the device for the appropriate purpose only.
Appropriate use
UAD series electronic condensate drains are intended exclusively for the following purpose:
Draining condensate from compressed air system
(air compressors, air receivers/pressure vessels, air dryers and air filters).
Any other form of use or one going beyond this shall be considered as inappropriate.
We shall have no liability whatsoever for any damage incurred as a result.

14
Installation guidelines
Keep to the safety rules when working with
pressure equipment.
The UAD should be connected to a pressure
system by ball valve and pipe union.
This way, it is not needed to depressurize the
whole system each time strainer cleaning or other
maintenance takes place.
Make sure that inlet connection has parallel
thread. Do not use tapered thread!
The UAD series could be mounted horizontally (left) or vertically (right). But, it must not be rolled aside
more than ±15°. The horizontal position is preferred in case of a lot of debris in condensed water.
Do not connect several condensed water sources to one drain device because air would bypass filtering
(left). Instead, each spot where condensed water collects must have its own condensate drain device
(right).
Drainage piping must be built without traps that would trap air in the UAD and prevent condensed
water to enter it (left). Additional venting would not help because debris collects in the lowest part of
drainge pipe and clogg it (right).

Horizontal drainage pipes must be inclined so that air could escape from UAD and that debris is flushed
toward UAD (left). When horizontal drainge pipes are long, venting should be built (right).
If if the bottom connection is used, the height of
the upper connection must be lower than the
lowest point of the condensate level. Upper
unused connection must be properly sealed
(pluged).
Use upper connection to mount venting line back
to pressure equipment (e.g. pressure vessel).
Venting line prevents creation of air bubbles
assuring constant flow of condensate into the
drain.
Venting is made by T-piece.
The T-piece should be located just infront of valve
so that path from the UAD tank to the venting
piece is as short as possible to prevent
compressed air from being trapped in the tank.
Venting with T-piece can only be used with
upper inlet connection.
Venting is made through auxiliary inlet.
UAD has provisions for building an auxiliary inlet
where venting could be connected. This auxuliary
inlet is not implemented in the standard UAD.
Conntact manufacturer for more
information about UAD with the auxiliary inlet.

Operation
By pressing the test button, valve is opened.
Green LED indicator shows water level in
tank. Short green flashes show that water in
tank is under the threshold.
Long green flashes indicate that the tank is
almost full.
When the tank is full, the green is on
permanently.
Red LED indicator is on permanently during
alarm mode.
Description:
In normal mode, UAD measures condensed water level in its tank. When level reaches
threshold, the valve is opened and water is discharged. Period between successive
discharges is from 5s to 7s long. When there is so much water, that UAD is not able to
remove it in 90s, it enters overload mode. In this mode, UAD opens its valve longer and
more frequently and its capacity is doubled. When UAD is still not able to discharge all the
water in 5min, it enters alarm mode. In alarm mode, UAD opens its valve so that it would
discharge 50% of its nominal capacity. The capacity in alarm mode is limited to limit air
losses in case of drain malfunction. UAD returns from overload or alarm mode to normal
mode when the tank gets empty.
Extreme amount of condensed water is possible after maintenance work. In front of UAD,
there is valve that is closed during maintenance. Behind this valve, condensed water collects.
After a while, there is so much water that UAD is not able to drain it without entering alarm
mode. To avoid entering alarm mode, test button should be pressed after each maintenance
work to discharge all condensed water manually.

Service Network and Alarm
UAD variants C, which are equipped with communication electronics and connector could be
connected to a Service Network. The Service Network is a communication protocol used in
UAD and other compressed air equipment that allow a remote supervision. Work data could
be regularly read out of the device with a network or they could be read by a data logger.
At the same time, the Service Network could also serve as display and keypad for setting
UAD’s parameters at commissioning.
The Service network consists of two devices. These are a slave device which is UAD and a
master device. The master device could be a Service Network Reader SN-10.200. It’s a
handheld device that allows user to send command messages manually. It also comprises a
display where answer to command are read. In the table in next page, command message
codes specific to UAD are described. There, we see which work data are collected, which
parameters could be set and which remote commands are available in UAD.
More detailed description of Service Network Protocol could be found in document
SN-02.000, Service Network Protocol.
An alarm output is included in the service network. Nevertheless, it may be used to signal
alarm condition without being connected to service network. The alarm/warning output is
an open collector output and it shares its GND with serial communication of Service
Network. The output is in high impedance state during alarm. When UAD operates normally,
the output is in low impedance state.

Remote triggering of condensed water purging from UAD
Alarm in 24VDC version – UAD S012
Contrary to ac versions of UAD S012, the UAD S012 24VDC has a built-in relay, which
provides a voltage free contact. It is of NO type and it is closed, when UAD S012 24VDC
operates normally.
