shock-proof wire. Insert the plug of the electric cable
in a socket of suitable shape, voltage and frequency
complying with current regulations. Before you use the
machine, make sure that the mains voltage complies with
the specifications on the rating plate. Long supply cables,
extensions, cable reels etc. cause a drop in voltage and
can impede motor start-up. In the case of low temperatures
below +5°C, motor start-up is jeopardized as a result of
stiffness.
5.4.1.1 Connection of the mains plug (electrical
information for the BS plug)
Important!
The wires in the mains lead fitted to this product are
coloured in accordance with the code shown in fig. 5.
●
The 3 pin plug must comply to BS1363/A.
●
Fuse must comply to BS1362.
If for any reason the 13 amp plug fitted to this product
requires replacement it must be wired in accordance with
the following instruction:
Do not connect the brown (live) or blue (neutral) to the
earth pin marked ‘E’
on the 3 pin plug.
Connect the Blue wire to the terminal marked Neutral (N).
Connect the Brown wire to the terminal marked Live (L).
Connect the Yellow & Green wire to the terminal marked
Earth (E). Ensure that the outer insulation is gripped by the
cord grip and that the wires are not trapped when replacing
the plug cover. The mains lead on this product is fitted with
a 13 amp (BS1363/A) plug. A 13 amp (BS1362) fuse must
be fitted in the plug.
If in doubt consult a qualified electrician.
There are no user serviceable parts inside this product
except those referred to in the manual. Always refer
servicing to qualified service personnel. Never remove
any part of the casing unless qualified to do so; this unit
contains dangerous voltages.
Warning!
For your protection if this product is to be used outdoors it
should not be exposed to rain or used in damp locations. Do
not place the product on damp surfaces, use a workbench
if available. For added protection use a suitable residual
current device (R.C.D.) at the socket outlet.
Note:
If the mains cable requires replacing it must be
replaced with an identical one and fitted by a qualified
person.
5.4.2 3-phase version
●
Connect the mains cable to a panel protected by suitable
fuses.
● For the versions fitted with electric panel (“Tandem”
control units or delta/star starters) have installation and
connections (to the motor, to the pressure switch and to
the electrovalve if any) carried out by qualified personnel.
●
Before you put the equipment into operation, check
whether the motor rotates in the correct direction (see
the direction arrow on the V-belt cover) by switching on
the compressor briefly. If the compressor motor rotates
in the wrong direction, you must correct the rotating
field by reversing the phase converter in the plug (use a
screwdriver to depress the phase converter slightly and
turn it through 180°).
●
The motor is equipped with an overload switch. If the
compressor overloads, the overload switch will switch off
the equipment automatically to protect the compressor
from overheating. If the overload switch triggers, wait for
the compressor to cool down.
●
Long supply cables, extensions, cable reels etc. cause a
drop in voltage and can impede motor start-up.
●
In the case of low temperatures below +5°C, motor start-
up is jeopardized as a result of stiffness.
5.5 On/Off switch (ref. 8)
5.5.1 Single-phase version (Fig. 2a, 2c)
To switch on the compressor, pull out the red knob (ref. 8).
To switch off the compressor, press the red knob (ref. 8)
in again.
5.5.2 3-phase version (Fig. 2b)
To switch on the compressor, press the green knob (ref.
8.1).
To switch off the compressor, press the red knob (ref. 8.2)
in again.
5.6 Adjusting the pressure (Figs. 2a-2c)
●
You can adjust the pressure on the pressure gauge (ref.
6) using the pressure regulator (ref. 7).
●
The set pressure can be taken from the quicklock
coupling (ref. 5).
5.7 Setting the pressure switch
The pressure switch is set at the factory.
– Switch-on pressure:
8 bar
– Switch-off pressure:
10 bar
6. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Warning!
Pull the power plug before doing any cleaning and
maintenance work on the appliance.
Warning!
Wait until the compressor has completely cooled
down. Risk of burns!
Warning!
Always depressurize the tank before carrying out any
cleaning and maintenance work.
