If it must be usedunder such conditions owing to unavoidable circumstances.Contact SMC beforehand.w The product is exclusively designed to be used with dry air. Ifit is used with air containing moisture, a flow of drainage willhinder the color change indicator function.e Be sure to install a micro mist separator (Series AMD), amicro mist separator with a prefilter (Series AMH) or a supermist separator (Series AME) on the primary side.r The bracket provided with the product is for supporting theproduct body.

Immediately replace it with anew one. At the same time, also replace the O-ring andgasket with new parts.The element is visible thorough the glass window on thefront of the body. Be sure to inspect it at least once a day.Pay special attention when it is around the time to replacethe element. Installation of a check filter is recommended toensure observation of red spots on the element surface.(Example: Add another piece of AME and install the 2 piecesin series.)w The element must be replaced, even if no red spot isobserved on the surface, when the pressure drop reaches0.1 MPa or when two years have passed since the operationstart, whichever is earlier.e If the element continues to be used past its replacementstage, the element could be damaged. If the elementcontinues to be used after red spots have appeared on itssurface, the red-dyed oil mist will splash over to thesecondary side, leading to unexpected accidents.Air PreparationEquipment603
