Installation
Contrary to conventional devices, CLEARPOINT compressed-
air heaters can also be operated with saturated compressed
air. However, the employment of a coalescence filter upstream
of the compressed-air heater, which removes aerosols from
the compressed air, is advisable. For practical reasons, the
compressed-air heater is installed directly upstream of the point
of application. The device is to be installed with the compressed
air inlet azt the top and the elctrical connection at the bottom
(see functional diagram).
Where the application requires a specific compressed air quality
and where a coalescence filter is to be installed in front of the
compressed air heater, the filter and filter heater can simply
be combined to a compact treatment system using connection
kit F2CK4.
1. Determine the point of installation,
- There must be no strong vibrations
- Good ventilation to avoid heat accumulation
- No direct contact with or insufficient distance from flam-
mable materials
2. Depressurize the line.
3 Install device observing the direction of flow (see arrow on
black cap), combined with filters in a vertical position.
4 Use connection fittings with cylindrical thread according to
DIN-ISO 7/1228-1 / ANSI ASME B120.1-1983 and seal with
suitable sealant.
5. Install the socket for connecting the device plug in an
easily accessible position. The electrical connection of
compressed-air heaters of the type with a cable and without
a plug must be undertaken by authorised qualified personnel
only. The connecting cable must not come into contact
with the housing of the compressed-air heater or other
heated components of the plant!
Start-up procedure
1. Do not switch on the compressed air heater at this stage
(do not put the device plug into the socket)!
2. After correct installation, pressurize the device slowly until
a uniform pressure is established.
3. Check that the system is tight. In the case of leaks, shut
off the compressed air supply and remove the cause of the
leakage immediately! Repressurize the system.
4. Temperature pre-adjustment for an internal maximum tem-
perature (compressed-air outlet temperature):
- Lever stop on the right: approx. 86°F
- Lever stop on the left: approx. 140°F
5. The device type with a cable and without a plug must be con-
nected electrically by authorised qualified personnel only. As
regards devices with a plug, check whether or not a supply
voltage of 115 VAC is available at the plug connector. Then
plug in the device (safety plug).
6. A pre-heating phase of approx. 10 minutes prior to the actual
employment should be taken into account, as the heating-up
process is regulated by the electronic circuit and deliberately
undertaken slowly.

Maintenance
Danger!
Compressed air!
Risk of serious injuries or death through the contact with
quickly or suddenly emerging compressed air or through
bursting plant components.
Danger
Mains voltage!
There is the risk of an electric shock involving injury or
death when coming into contact with non-insulated com-
ponents carrying mains voltage.
Measures:
During electric installations, all regulations need to be
observed (VDE 0100)!
All types of electrical works must be implemented by au-
thorised and qualified personnel only.
Danger!
High temperature at the housing!
Burns can result from the contact of unprotected parts of
the body with the hot housing (up to 176°F). Risk of fire
through easily inflammable objects, dusts and gases.
Caution!
No maintenance works are required or permitted directly
at the compressed air heater. Defective devices need to
be returned to the manufacturer for repair.
Maintenance works at the device are limited to regular inspec-
tions, the cycle of which the plant operator will determine:
a) Examination of the electric connecting cable
- no contact with the housing
- no damages in the coat of the cable
- proper connection to the mains supply
- deactivation during longer standstill periods or when the
factory is closed
b) Assessment point of installation (risk of fire)
- sufficient ventilation, no thermal insulation at the device
- no contact to inflammable materials and dusts and none
in the vicinity
- avoidance of splash water
c) Body of the device
- no mechanical damage on pressurised parts of the
housing
- correct seat of the electric housing (plastic bottom part)
- correct seat of the contact protection, as far as available
- richtiger Sitz von Berührungsschutz, soweit vorhanden
d) Lever for the adjustment of the compressed-air temperature
- Check mobility / adjustability
- No mechanical damage
