FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
PRO AIR is a range of compact compressed air regulator and filters suitable for 1 or 2 operators. PRO
AIR 2 and 3 are suitable for use with Respiratory Personal Equipment such as the Devilbiss PRO
VISOR and Half Mask kits.

PRO AIR 1

Filter - Incoming air is rotated by a centrifuge unit to remove the heaviest liquid andsolid particles. The remaining solid particles are collected by a porous filter to 5µm. The
accumulated liquid can be drained using the plug in the base of the bowl.

Regulator - This allows the input pressure to be reduced to a stable output pressure
following initial filtering.
PRO AIR 2

as above, but to include a Coalescer - This removes the smallest amounts of liquid andsolids down to 0.01µm. The liquid droplets are captured on micro fibres, these form
larger droplets and collect in the bowl which can be drained using the plug at the baseof the bowl.

PRO AIR 3

as above, but to include an Activated Carbon element - This element filters in a similar
way to the coalescer, but will remove oil carry over to 0.003 ppm.

Shut of valves - Each of the 2 outlets can be isolated independently.

1. Do not install the unit above electrical or any other equipment that could be damaged bydischarged condensate oil.
2.

Ensure air flows through the unit in the direction of the arrows on the body.

3.

Install the unit as near as possible to the point of use.

4.

An isolation valve is fitted (8) to the inlet of the PRO AIR 2 & 3 for convenience when
maintaining and to release condensate and oil from bowl. (see operation) Slide to the righttowards the regulator to open. Slide to the left to close.

5.

The unit should be mounted in an upright position.

6.

Ensure the regulator is correctly earthed using the marked wall bracket on the outlet side of
the unit as the earthing point as shown below and verify continuity from each Ball Valve (6) toanother known earth point. A resistance of less than 1 K ohms should be achieved fordissipation of electrostatic charge. PRO AIR-2 shown.

OPERATION
1. Do not exceed the maximum working pressures and temperatures.
2.

When regulating the pressure always adjust from a lower pressure increasing to the desiredpressure, rather than from a higher pressure down.

3.

To lock the set pressure depress the knob which prevents it being adjusted. To release thelock lift the knob up.

4.

The drain valve on the bottom of the filter and coalescer can be used manually or semiautomatically.

a)Semi-Automatic - The valve push button is rotated to the left, in this mode when the airpressure is exhausted from the unit the push button opens under spring operation.

b)

Manually - The valve push button rotated to the right shuts off the drain permanently, until it isrotated to the left when it can be pushed up to drain even when the unit is pressurised.

ENMAINTENANCE
Always de-pressurise the whole unit prior to carrying out any maintenance work, ensuring no pressure
is locked in the unit or items attached to it. The regulator knob should be wound fully counterclockwise to exhaust all pressure after isolating.
Ensure earthing of the unit is not affected by maintenance activities, see installation on previous page.
Filter - To replace these items unscrew and remove bowl, unscrew the central bolt and pull the filter
down.
Coalescer/ Activated carbon filter - To replace this item, unscrew and remove the bowl, then unscrew
the filter element. Care should be taken when replacing the element not to cross the threads.
Gauge - When replacing this item , screw a new gauge in by hand only, do not use a spanner. Seal
the thread using a liquid sealant, do not use PTFE tape.
Filter/ Coalescer/ Activated carbon filter periods for replacement
It is recommended that filter elements are replaced periodically i.e. when a drop in pressure isnoticeable through the unit or every 6 months or 1000 hours use.
Do not use solvents or aggressive chemicals to clean the unit, which may affect the materials ofconstruction.
Always use recommended and original parts and accessories.
