The Quality Air Test (QAT) system enables you to easily test the quality of the air in compressed

air lines, filters, hoses and related equipment. Clean air, free from oil and particulate contamination, is essential for many professional applications, especially painting. The QAT system isolates contaminates as small as .2 micron (80 millionths of an inch) and thereby permits close inspection to determine the source of the problem. QAT testing takes only minutes but can prevent or solve contamination problems which cost many thousands of dollars.

Instructions
1. Clean Housing: Unscrew lid, open valve and look into housing assembly and air passages. Use a cotton swab or clean cloth and solvent to woe out any contamination. Note: the OAT valve design can be cleaned internally without disassembly but also can be fully disassembled if ever needed. 2. Install Filter: Place a new white test filter (filter can be used only once) onto the lid's bronze filter support and install 0 ring to hold filter in place. Screw lid onto housing assembly until you just feel the 0 ring being compressed. Note: insert only the white test filter, the paper serves as a filter divider. Bronze filter support Is glued into the lid and never needs to be removed. 3. Close Valve: Turn air flow control knob until its Mark is at a right angle to air nipple. 4. Set to 20 psi: Connect OAT to desired checkpoint in the compressed air system and slowly open the air flow control knob until 20 psi is indicated on the pressure gauge. 5. Test 10 Minutes: Dose air flow control knob, disconnect the QAT from the air line, unscrew the lid and remove the filter. 6. Inspect Filter: Place the filter on a flat surface and then place the 30x microscope on top of the filter and turn on light. The integral to magnifier can also help identify the contaminate. After testing, place filter In clear storage bag and record test conditions for future comparisons. Wipe inside of OAT housing clean before storage.

Trouble Shooting
Common Contaminations Potential Solutions Yellow/Brown spots: if they don't dry, they are oil contamination. Replace rings in compressor Clean lines and replace compressor Wet Staining: Place filter under lamp. If wetness dissipates, it is water Drain supply lines more often Reroute supply lines, make traps Add water separators and filters Replace hoses with new ones and retest Replace iron pipes with PVC or Copper pipes Add filters

Black Soft Particles: Rubber hoses may be deteriorating on the inside. Red/Brown Particles Fine or Crusty: If they cling to a magnet, there is rust formation on the inside of iron pipes
