Air filter, Lubricator, Filter-regulator and Mist separator
Avoid the application where charge and discharge of pressure to bowl is switched frequently.
This may damage the bowl. A metal bowl is recommended in these cases.

Selection
A safety device needs to be installed if output pressure is exceeding the set pressure, otherwise this
can cause the breakage of outlet device and equipment or malfunction.
AD17-A and AD27-A with auto drain may leak during exhaust of pressure. (This leakage is allowed
in their constructions and not failure.) Be sure to connect piping for drain.
Mineral grease used on internal surfaces and packing may leak to the outlet. Please contact SMC if
this is a problem.
Operating pressure: 0.1MPa or more at min. for AD17-A and AD27-A, 0.15MPa or more at min. for
AD37-A and AD47-A.
Consult SMC if using this product for purposes other than its primary use of lubricating air line
equipment.
Long absence of operation or operation with outlet circuit sealed or balance circuit may cause
pressure fluctuation in outlet set pressure. Please consult SMC if this is a problem.
Set pressure of outlet pressure shall be 85% or less of inlet pressure. Pressure over 85% makes
operation susceptible to flow and inlet pressure which lead to cause unstable operation.
N.O type auto drain should be used under the following requirements to avoid operating failure.
N.C. type auto drain should be used under the following requirements to avoid operating failure.

If multiple auto drains are used, confirm used compressor has capacity over the result of multiplying
the above capacity and the number of used auto drains.
{For example, in case of two auto drain, the compressor need the capacity over 1.5kW [200L/ min
(ANR)].}
Maximum set pressure range in the spec. has margin. Pressure set may be higher than the
maximum value.
If regulator is used with circuit which requires high exhaust sensitivity or set precision, please
consult SMC.
The use at high frequency such as the use in press machine may damage internal components and
cause operating failure of the equipment installed to secondary side. Contact SMC for such a use.
Small air consumption may prevent the oil from dropping. Confirm air flow necessary to produce the
drops required for the correct amount of oil.
Do not supply the air from secondary side (reverse air flow). Otherwise, internal components may be
damaged.
If piping is branched at inlet side, the oil may flow back. Avoid the reverse flow by installing a check
valve (AKM series) to inlet side.
Residual pressure (outlet pressure) is not released even if releasing inlet pressure. Select the
regulator with counter flow function. Without the function, residual pressure may not be eliminated.
