2.4 Safety instructions related to the product and technology

• Lay cables and lines so that they cannot be damaged and no one can trip over
them.
• Do not operate the product in aggressive ambient air or allow it to come into
contact with aggressive media.
The substances listed as examples in the following table, which contain sol-
vents in various concentrations, can lead to an aggressive ambient air/com-
pressed air in the application area of compressed air preparation devices and
in the suction area of air compressors.
Solvents: Acetone, paint thinners, alcohols, ester
Detergents: Trichloroethylene, perchlorethylene, benzene, gasoline
Other media: Synthetic oils, drilling oil, high-alloyed oils, certain compres-
sor oils, brake fluid, ammonia, bonding and sealing agents,
plasticizers, anti-freeze, coolants/lubricants
• A pressurized polycarbonate reservoir may corrode in an aggressive ambient
air/compressed air and explode as a result.
If the presence of the substances stated in the table cannot be avoided, such
as in gluing machines or vulcanization plants, the use of metal reservoirs is re-
quired.
• If a lubricator is used, please only use a suitable pneumatic oil, see online cata-
log (www.aventics.com/pneumatics-catalog).
• No soiling may be allowed to collect on or in the filters, reservoirs, or win-
dows. Replace reservoirs if soiling cannot be removed from the drain (drain
may become clogged).
Also observe the "Customer information on material resistance in
compressed air preparation" (MNR R412025273)

3 Scope of delivery

• 1x filter (standard, pre, micro, active carbon filter) as ordered
• 1 set of operating instructions

4 About this product

Standard filter FLS, pre-filter FLP, micro-filter FLC, and active carbon filter FLA are
components of air preparation units:
• Standard filter FLS: Solid impurities and condensate are removed from the
compressed air by centrifugal force and filtration.
• Pre-filter FLP and micro-filter FLC: Suitable for very high standards in com-
pressed air purity.
• Active carbon filter FLA: Filters out odors from the compressed air. The oil va-
por molecules in the compressed air are absorbed.
