Note 1) When the above factors are present, or there is some doubt, use a metal bowl for safety.
Note 2) The display window material is nylon.
3) Avoid the application where charge and discharge of pressure to/from a standard bowl is switched
frequently. This may damage the bowl. A metal bowl is recommended in these cases.
4) Protect from ultra violet ray and radiation heat by shield.
5) If the air equipment is mounted on the outlet of the product, particles will be generated from the
equipment and required cleanliness may not be obtained. Instead, install the air equipment at the inlet.
Caution
AD27-D with auto drain may have leakage of accumulated drain during pressure exhaust (this leakage
is allowed in their constructions and not considered failure). Be sure to connect piping for drain.
-4-
Selection
Warning
1) Grease is used on the internal sliding parts and seals. The grease may flow to the outlet side.
2) Select the model so that the maximum discharge value (instantaneous) of the flow rate will not exceed
the rated air capacity.
3) N.O. type auto drain should be operated under the following conditions to avoid operating failure.
Operating compressor: 0.75kW or more.
Discharged flow rate: 100L/min (ANR) or more. When using 2 or more auto drains, multiply the value
above by the number of auto drains to find the capacity of the compressors you will need. For example,
when using 2 auto drains, 1.5kW (200L/min (ANR)) of the compressor capacity is required. The
operating pressure should be 0.1 MPa or more.
4) N.C. type auto drain should be used under the following requirements to avoid operating failure.
AD27: Operating pressure 0.1MPa or more.
AD37, AD47: Operating pressure 0.15MPa or more.
Installation
Warning
1) Do not drop or apply impact during transportation or installation; It will cause damage to the product and
result in operation failure.
2) Do not install in areas of high humidity or high temperature. Operation outside of the product
specification range may cause damage to the product or operation failure, or shorten the product life.
3) Connect the product ensuring the direction of "1"(IN) and "2"(OUT) for air direction or an arrow. Incorrect
connections may cause malfunction.
4) Install with adequate space for maintenance beneath the product. Refer to [13. Dimensions] (page 34)
for necessary space.
5) Install vertically so that outlet of drain is facing downward. It cannot be used in horizontal or upward
direction as it may cause operation failure.
6) Do not hit the auto switch with a tool or allow it to receive any other impacts. Doing so may cause
damage.
7) Do not attach or detach the auto switch equipped with the clogging switch. Otherwise, the detection
accuracy of the clogging switch may be reduced. In addition, note that an auto switch with an element
service indicator cannot be installed in combination.
8) Do not place magnetic objects near the product. Otherwise, a machine failure may result.
Piping
Warning:
1) Before piping, perform flushing or cleaning of the piping, etc. to remove any cutting chips, cutting oil,
solid foreign matter, etc. from the piping. Contamination of piping may cause damage or malfunction.
2) When screwing together pipes and fittings, etc., be certain that chips from the pipe threads and sealant
do not get inside the pipe. When a sealant tape is used, leave 1 thread ridge exposed at the end of the
threads.
3) Connect piping/fittings using the recommended torque while holding the female thread side tightly.
Insufficient tightening torque can cause loose piping or sealing failure. Excess tightening torque may
cause damage to threads. If the female side is not held while tightening, excessive force will be applied
to the bracket directly, causing breakage.
Recommended tightening torque (Unit: N m)

Thread size 1/8 1/4 3/8 1/2
Torque 3 to 5 8 to 12 15 to 20 20 to 25
4) When a one-touch fitting of SMC is used, refer to the operation manual for the one-touch fitting.
5) Do not apply torsion or bending moment other than the weight of the product itself. External piping needs
to be supported separately as it may cause damage. Non-flexible piping like steel tube is susceptible to
excessive moment load or vibration. Insert flexible tubes to prevent this.
6) Drain guide is not equipped with valve function. Be sure to connect piping for drain. No piping for drain
allows the drain and compressed air to exhaust freely. Also, the piping should be performed with drain
guide held by spanner to prevent breakage of bowl.
-5-
7) The piping for drain from auto drain should be connected under the following requirements to avoid
operating failure.
Tubing for AD27-D: I.D. ø2.5 (ø3/32") or larger, Length 5 m (200 inch) or shorter
Tubing for AD37, 47(N)-D: I.D. ø4 (ø3/16") or larger, Length 5 m (200 inch) or shorter
Tubing for AD38, 48(N)-D: I.D. ø6.5 (ø1/4") or larger, Length 5 m (200 inch) or shorter
8) Pipework for auto drain discharge which rises higher than the auto drain outlet should be avoided. It may
cause the auto drain operation to fail.
Air Source
Warning
1) Use clean air. Do not use compressed air containing chemicals, organic solvent, synthetic oil or corrosive
gas as it may be cause of breakage of components or operation failure.
2) Air containing too much moisture may deteriorate the performance. Install the refrigerated air dryer or
aftercooler before the line filter.
3) Make sure that the supply pressure is not below the minimum operating pressure. If it is used at the
minimum operating pressure or less, pressure resistance increases, leading to the decrease of operation
life or operation failure.
Caution
1) Install the air filter AF series or line filter AFF series as a pre-filter to the inlet of the AM series in order to
avoid the clogging of early stage.
2) Install the air filter AFM series or line filter AM series as a pre-filter to the inlet of the AMD series in order
to avoid the clogging of early stage.
Maintenance
Warning
1) Release the pressure in the product to the atmosphere when replacing parts or removing piping.
2) Maintenance and checks should be done by following the procedure in the operation manual. Incorrect
handling of the product may cause breakage or operation failure of the equipment or device.
3) Do not touch the product when operating at high temperature (40 to 60oC). The operators may get burnt.
Be sure to confirm that the temperature of the container or operating part is reduced to 40 degrees or
less to prevent burns.
4) Perform periodical check to find cracks, flaws or other deterioration on resin bowl. If any of them is seen,
as malfunction is caused, replace with new bowl or metal bowl. Investigate and/or review the operating
conditions if necessary.
5) Check for dirt in resin bowl periodically. If any dirt is seen, replace with new bowl. If removing dirt by
washing the resin bowl, never use washing material other than neutral detergent. Otherwise, the bowl is
damaged.
6) Open and close drain cock by hand. The use of tools can result in damage to the product.
7) Replace the element before 2 years passed from start of use or pressure drop (difference between the
inlet pressure and outlet pressure) reaches 0.1MPa. Or if the element is broken.
8) Check the bowl regularly. Discharge it before drain reaches the element. Refer to [9. Operation and
Adjustment] (P23 to 24) for discharging of drain. When a resin bowl or a bowl with level gauge is used,
discharge the drain before the drain reaches the MAX. DRAIN LEVEL.
Caution
1) Check the element periodically and replace it with a new one if necessary. If it is found that outlet
pressure drops or the flow is restricted, check the condition of the element.
2) For the N.O. type auto drain, when there is no pressure, condensate which does not operate the auto
drain mechanism will remain in the bowl. It is recommended to release the residual condensate manually
at the end of the working day.
3) For models with an element service indicator or clogging switch, as the element becomes more clogged,
the indicator will display an increasing level of red. Be sure to replace the element before the level of red
reaches the top of the indicator.
4) For the product equipped with a clogging switch, replace the element even if it has been used for 2 years
or less when the installed auto switch (SW) is detected.
