INSTALLATION

WARNING:

Improper installation may result in damage to the unit, personal injury or death.

All persons operating the Yacht Pro Series system must read this manual completely and fully understand the
procedures for system operation and the responsibilities of the operator to insure the safety of divers supplied with
air from the system. We recommend professional installation by our experienced installation technicians. The Yacht
Pro Series must not be operated in an enclosure that does not meet the installation/operation guidelines for the unit.
Contact our Technical Department for advice.

The Yacht Pro series tank fill compressor must be installed in accordance with the following recommendations:

1.  Ambient temperature during operation must not exceed 100 deg F (38 deg C) maximum. The unit will produce heat
when operating, therefore adequate ventilation must be provided to stay well within the maximum limit listed above.
We recommend operating unit well below the maximum limit. Forced Ventilation must be used where poor air
circulation is present. Contact our Technical Department with questions regarding proper ventilation.

2.  Proper clearances must be allowed for the following:

a.  6" minimum from the fan cover to any bulkhead. This provides adequate air supply for the cooling fan.
b.  8" minimum above the filter tower. This allows easy filter removal/replacement and easy access to remove

the oil dipstick for checking/changing oil.

c.  Allow working access to the electrical box for service/repair.
d.  The Oil drain tube must have clearance for oil changes.
e.  The condensate drain reservoir must be accessible for removal.
f.  Hour meter, on/off switch, and visual monitor must be accessible for safe operation.
g.  Belt Guard must be accessible for service of drive belt.

3.  The unit must be installed on a flat, level surface. No more than 10 deg inclination must occur during operation.

4.  The Yacht Pro Series units are provided as a complete assembly ready for installation. NOTE:  Some
installations may require remote mounting of package components. This must be approved by our Technical
Department.

NOTE:

 Any alterations of the original system without approval by our technical department will void the

manufacturer’s warranties.

5.  Clean, fresh air must be provided to the air intake of the compressor as close to the operating ambient
temperature of the unit as possible. Remote air intake plumbing may be required. A non-collapsible plastic hose with
3/4" ID is the simplest method. The 3/4" ID may be run for a length of 10'. Longer runs may be used by following this
guideline: For every 10' of run the preceding 10' diameter must be doubled. All 90 deg fittings should be considered
as 1 foot of length.

NOTE:

 The intake must be protected from water entry, as this will cause severe damage to the unit.

6.  The unit must be protected from any type of water exposure. Such exposure will seriously effect the longevity of
the unit and may result in personal injury or death.

7.  Electrical Requirements:
Yacht Pro series compressors come standard with 220 VAC 60HZ single phase electric motors. They are equipped with
120 VAC 60HZ controls and components. All units require correct electrical supply components be provided in
accordance with local, state and federal codes for land installation and marine codes for on-board installation. An
electrician should be consulted for supply power recommendations. Standard units require that a neutral wire be provided
with the standard power supply, for correct operation. An optional remote transformer can be used to provide control
voltage if neutral is not available. Some voltage and cycle combinations will require an optional transformer for correct
operation.Yacht Pro Series are available for other electrical requirements. Please contact our Technical Department for
specifications.
