2 General description
General
The Electronic Water Drain (EWD) is a zero-loss, electronically operated drain valve, specially
designed to drain condensate. EWD's exist in a number of variants and sizes. Below table
explains the abbreviations used in the type designation.
Suffix Designation
- (blank)/ Std • EWD 50: without alarm contact
• EWD 75, EWD 330, EWD 1500, EWD 16K: with alarm contact
A With alarm contact (only EWD 50)
B Delay of approximately 20 s before draining the condensate, with alarm contact.
C Internally coated, with alarm contact
E External test signal (forced draining by PLC or Elektronikon possible)
D Combination of options 'C' and 'E'
M With extra support, electric cable and manual drain outlet
HP High pressure version (25 bar (360 psi))
EHP Extra high pressure version (63 bar (910 psi))
L Combination of options 'B' and 'E' (only EWD 50)
EWD 50, EWD 75, EWD 330, EWD 1500 and EWD 16K
Operation
The condensate enters the Electronic Water Drain (EWD) via inlet (1) and accumulates in
collector (2). A capacitive sensor (3) continuously measures the liquid level. As soon as the
collector is filled up to a certain level, pilot valve (4) is activated and diaphragm (5) opens outlet
(6), discharging the condensate. Once the collector has been emptied, the outlet closes quickly
without wasting compressed air.
6 AIF999999
Instruction book
Alarm mode
In case of a malfunction, the red alarm LED starts flashing and the electronic drain valve will
automatically change to the alarm mode, opening and closing the valve according to a sequence
as indicated below.
Switching sequence in the event of a malfunction (EWD 50 Std, EWD 50 A, EWD 75, EWD 330, EWD 1500 and
EWD 16K)
This condition continues until the fault is remedied. Once the fault is cleared, the EWD will
automatically return to the normal mode of operation. If the fault is not remedied automatically,
maintenance is required.
EWD 50, EWD 75, EWD 330, EWD 1500, EWD 16K:

Example of installation
Always observe the safety precautions mentioned at the beginning of this Instruction
Book.
Do not exceed the maximum operating pressure (see type plate)!
CAUTION ! Maintenance work must only be carried out when the device is not under
pressure !
Only use pressure-proof installation materials! The feed line must be firmly fixed. Outlet
line: short pressure hose to pressure-proof pipe. Ensure that condensate cannot squirt
onto persons or objects.
EWD 75
Description
Reference Description
1 The feed pipe must have a minimum diameter. See section Electronic Water Drain data.
2 No filters should be installed in the feed line.
3 The feed line must have a slope of at least 1 %.
4 Only use ball valves in the feed line.
5 A minimum pressure must be present inside the electronic drain valve. See section
Reference conditions and limitations.
6 The pressure hose used must be as short as possible.
7 For each meter (3.281 ft) of rising slope in the outlet line, the required minimum
pressure will increase by 0.1 bar (1.45 psi). The rise of the outlet line may not exceed 5
metres (16.405 ft).

Instruction book
Reference Description
1 Pressure differences:
Each condensate source must be drained separately.
2 Venting:
If the feed line cannot be installed with sufficient slope or if there are other inflow
problems, it will be necessary to install a venting line.
3 Deflector area:
If drainage is to take place directly from a line, it is advisable to arrange the piping so
that the air flow is diverted.
4 Continuous slope / water pockets:
It is important to avoid water pockets when using a pressure hose as a feed line.
5 Continuous slope / water pockets:
Water pockets must be avoided when installing a feed pipe.

5 Problem solving
General
Malfunctioning can for example be caused by:
• Mistakes made during installation
• Pressures below the minimum pressure
• Excessive amount of condensate (overloading)
• Blocked or shut off outlet line
• Excessive amount of dirt particles
• Frozen piping
If the fault is not cleared within the first minute (not for the EWD 50 Std), a fault signal is triggered
which can be picked off as a potential-free signal via the alarm relay.
Warnings
• Before starting any maintenance or repairs, close the air outlet valve and press the
test button on top of the electronic water drain to depressurise the air system.
• Apply all relevant instructions in section Safety precautions.

The heater consists of a heating cartridge with built-in thermostats. The working thermostat (T1)
registers the ambient temperature, turns the heating on when the temperature drops below 6 ˚C
(42.80 ˚F) and turns the heating off when the temperature rises above 15 ˚C (59 ˚F). The safety
thermostat (T2) turns off the heating when the temperature rises above 75 ˚C (167 ˚F).
The heater is screwed into the feed line using the adapter that is provided. The metal connection
parts make sure that the heat is evenly distributed to the drain valve housing. The operation of
the heater is completely independent of the Electronic Water Drain.

3 Distribution module, inclusive installation module)
The trace heating consists of a distribution module with two flexible heating tapes which are laid
along the piping.
The thermostatic switch inside the distribution module continuously registers the ambient
temperature. It switches the heating tape on when the temperature drops below 5 ˚C (41 ˚F) and
switches it off when the temperature rises above 15 ˚C (59 ˚F).
The heating tapes are self-regulating, which means that the heat output is adapted to the actual
temperature. The tapes can be shortened as desired without affecting the heat output per meter.
AIF999999 21
Instruction book
The distribution module (with integrated ambient temperature sensor) supplies the power for the
heating tapes and has a free mains contact.
Important note
The distribution box may not be covered with thermal insulation since it houses the
thermostatic switch which must register the ambient temperature.
Important remark
Make sure not to shorten the tapes too much. They cannot be lengthened.
