1.0 GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS

These units use single-stage rotary screw air compressors with oil injection.
The central unit comprises:
compressor; oil separator; oil cooler, air cooler; fan; electric start; safety and regulation devices; instrument panel.
The unit is completely assembled in the factory; the necessary connections for setting it up are:
• connection to the main power (see installation chapter)
• connection to the compressed air network (see installation chapter)
The compressor-motor unit is fitted on the machine chassis by means of flexible supports: this allows the compressor unit
to be laid directly on the floor without any need of further vibration-damping systems.

2.0 INTENDED USE

The compressor has been built to supply compressed air for industrial use.
The machine cannot be used in premises where there is a risk of fire or explosion or where work is carried out
which releases substances into the environment which are dangerous with regard to safety (for example:
solvents, inflammable vapours, alcohol, etc.).
In particular the compressor cannot be used to produce air to be breathed by humans or used on direct contact with
foodstuffs.
This compressor must be used only for the purpose for which it was specifically designed.
All other uses are to be considered incorrect and therefore unreasonable.
The Manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage resulting from improper, incorrect or unreasonable use.

3.0 OPERATION

Reference flow diagram in section 25.0.

The electric motor and the compressor unit are coupled by means of a belt transmission.
The compressor unit takes in the outside air through the suction valve. The air taken in is filtered by a panel pre-filter fitted
on the panel of the cabinet and by the filter cartridge fitted upstream from the suction valve. Inside the compressor unit,
the air and the lubricating oil are compressed and sent to the oil separating filter where the oil is separated from the
compressed air; the air is then filtered again by the oil separating cartridge to reduce the amount of suspended oil particles
to a minimum. At this point the two flows (of oil and air) are sent to two separate coolers where they are cooled, using a
flow of air taken from the environment by a special fan inside the machine.
The cooled oil returns to the circuit while the compressed air is sent to the using network.

4.0 GENERAL SAFETY STANDARDS

The compressor may be used only by specially trained and authorized personnel.
Any tampering with the machine or alterations not approved beforehand by the Manufacturer relieve the latter of
responsibility for any damage resulting from the above actions.
The removal of or tampering with the safety devices constitutes a violation of OSHA regulations.

ATTENTION: UPSTREAM OF THE MACHINE INSTALL AN ISOLATOR KNIFE-SWITCH WITH AN AUTOMATIC

DISCONNECT AGAINST CURRENT SURGES.
(SEE WIRING DIAGRAM)

ALL WORK ON THE ELECTRICALS, EVEN IF SLIGHT, MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY PROFESSIONALLY SKILLED
PERSONEL.

14.8 OPERATING PARAMETERS OF THE CONTROLLER.

The controller is programmed in the factory with the following parameters:

P0 = cut-off pressure (107 – 132 - 157 – 182 PSIG)
P1 = cut-in pressure (85 – 110 – 135 – 160 PSIG)
r2 = maximum operating temperature (212 °F)
t3 = not active
t4 = not active
C5 = maximum number of start-ups per hour (10)

The controller is also programmed to measure the pressure in “PSI” (parameter C7) and the temperature in °F (parameter
C6).

The pressure and temperature units of measurement correspond to the table below.

Name of the parameter Value of the parameter

C6 0 = °C 1 = °F
C7 0 = bar 1 = °PSI

All parameters described above can be viewed and modified with the procedure indicated in Section 14.9.
The parameter number appears in the top display and the value of the parameter appears in the bottom display.

14.9 VIEWING AND MODIFYING THE VALUE OF PARAMETERS.

To view the parameters proceed as follows:

- Press and hold the button 4 Fig. 13a for a few seconds, until “P0” (cut-off pressure) appears on the top display: the value
of the cut-off pressure in PSI (107 - 132 - 157 or 182 PSIG) appears simultaneously on the bottom display.
- By pressing the button Ref. 1 Fig. 13a all the board parameters (P0, P1, r2, t3, t4, C5, C6, C7) will appear in sequence
on the top display while the values set for each parameter will appear on the bottom display. To exit press the button Ref.
3 until the luminous dot on the display is positioned on the symbol.

To change the value of parameters follow the example indicated below:

EXAMPLE: the maximum temperature value is to be modified to 203 °F.

- Press and hold the button Ref. 4 fig. 13a for a few seconds, until the parameter “P0” appears on the top display.
- Press the button Ref. 1 Fig. 13a until reaching the parameter “r2” (maximum temperature).
- Press the button Ref. 4 Fig. 13a: the value of the temperature indicated on the bottom display flashes.
- Press the button Ref. 2 Fig. 13a until reaching the value 203.
- Press the button Ref. 4 Fig. 13a to confirm the modification; the value 203 stops flashing.
- Exit from programming by pressing the button Ref. 3 Fig. 13a.
The new maximum temperature value is now 203.

14.10 DISPLAYING A TEMPERATURE LEVEL THAT IS TOO LOW

The controller is programmed in the factory with a minimum temperature level set at (+ 39.2 °F), if the temperature sensed
is lower, it is shown by the bottom display flashing. This fault signal does not mean the compressor cannot be started, but
warns the operator that the room temperature is too low.

Every 4000 hours „„ Clean the finned surface of the air-oil cooler
„„ Change the oil separating filter (see control board LED)

Every 8000 hours „„ Change the oil (see control board LED)

BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY MAINTENANCE IT IS MANDATORY TO STOP THE COMPRESSOR AND
DISCONNECT IT FROM THE MAIN POWER.

MAINTENANCE ON THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS CAN ONLY BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED TECHNICIANS

OR AUTHORIZED FACTORY PERSONNEL.

CAUTION
When the compressed air cools, part of the moisture sucked in by the compressor condenses. In order to protect the
dryer against the risk of an ice plug forming, it is essential to check regularly that the condensate drains are operating
properly :

On the compressed air storage reservoir and on the filters :

• With a manual drain, drain regularly according to the moisture content of the ambient air.
• With an automatic drain, set the draining cycle accordingly and check that the drain is in good working condition.

This recommendation is also fundamental in a circuit comprising an absorption dryer (risk of saturation of the
alumina).

15.3 DRAINING CONDENSATE FROM THE SUMP TANK

If the compressor experiences long pauses during which the compressor cools down, a certain amount of condensate will
gather in the sump tank. This happens, for example, when stopping overnight or on weekends.
The condensate must be drained off every 50 hours or every week. This operation may be performed only when the
compressor is cold, that is when it has been switched off for at least 8 hours.

22.0 CHANGING THE OIL

BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY MAINTENANCE JOBS IT IS MANDATORY TO STOP THE COMPRESSOR AND
DISCONNECT IT FROM THE MAIN POWER AND FROM THE COMPRESSED AIR DISTRIBUTION NETWORK.

Changing oil is an important operation for the compressor:

if the lubrication of the bearings is not efficient, the compressor life will be shortened.
The oil must be changed when the compressor is still warm, that is immediately after stopping it.
The suggestions listed below should be followed.
After draining the old oil out of the compressor Ref. 1 Fig. 18.
- Fill the oil tank to the MAX level, Ref. 2 Fig. 18.

DO NOT TOP OFF WITH DIFFERENT OILS

NOTE ON LUBRICANTS
When delivered, the compressor is filled with oil;
In normal conditions of use, these lubricants have proved to be able to withstand use for as many as 8,000 hours.
If the compressor is being used at high temperatures (continuous operation above 194 °F) or in particularly severe
conditions, we advise changing the oil at shorter intervals than those recommended in the maintenance chart.
