INSTALLING THE AIR INLET FILTER _________________
•
CAUTION
Do not operate without air inlet filter.
Install the air inlet filters at the inlet connections at the bare
pump. If heavy duty filtration is required, contact your dealer for
information.
INSTALLING DISCHARGE PIPING ___________________
If it is necessary to install air discharge piping or condensate
discharge piping, adhere to the following general guidelines.
Contact your dealer for more information.
•
WARNING
If an aftercooler, check valve, block valve, or any
other restriction is added to the compressor
discharge, install a properly-sized ASME
approved safety/relief valve between the
compressor discharge and the restriction.
•
CAUTION
If you will be using All Season Select synthetic
compressor lubricant, all downstream piping
material and system components must be
compatible. Refer to the following material
compatibility list. If there are incompatible
materials present in your system, or if there are
materials not included in the list, contact your
dealer.
Suitable:
Viton®, Teflon®, Epoxy (Glass Filled), Oil Resistant Alkyd,
Fluorosilicone, Fluorocarbon, Polysulfide, 2-Component Urethane,
Nylon, Delrin®, Celcon®, High Nitrile Rubber (Buna N. NBR more than
36% Acrylonitrile), Polyurethane, Polyethylene, Epichlorohydrin,
Polyacrylate, Melamine, Polypropylene, Baked Phenolics, Epoxy,
Modified Alkyds
(® indicates trademark of DuPont Corporation)
Not Recommended:
Neoprene, Natural Rubber, SBR Rubber, Acrylic Paint, Lacquer, Varnish,
Polystyrene, PVC, ABS, Polycarbonate, Cellulose Acetate, Low Nitrile
Rubber (Buna N. NBR less than 36% Acrylonitrile), EPDM, Ethylene
Vinyl Acetate, Latex, EPR, Acrylics, Phenoxy, Polysulfones, Styrene
Acrylonitrile (San), Butyl
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS.
The piping, fittings, receiver tank,
etc. must be certified safe for at least the maximum working
pressure of the unit. Use hard-welded or threaded steel or
copper pipes, cast iron fittings and hoses that are certified safe
for the unit’s discharge pressure and temperature. DO NOT USE
PVC PLASTIC. Use pipe thread sealant on all threads, and make
up joints tightly to prevent air leaks.
CONDENSATE DISCHARGE PIPING.
If installing a condensate
discharge line, the piping must be at least one size larger than
the connection, as short and direct as possible, secured tightly
and routed to a suitable drain point. Condensate must be
disposed of in accordance with local, state, and federal laws and
regulations.
NOTE: All compressed air systems generate condensate which
accumulates in any drain point (e.g. tanks, filters, drip legs,
aftercoolers, dryers). This condensate contains lubricating oil
and/or substances which may be regulated and must be
disposed of in accordance with local, state, and federal laws and
regulations.
ELECTRICAL WIRING & GROUNDING ________________
•
WARNING
Any electrical installation and service required
should be performed by a qualified electrician
who is familiar with all applicable local, state and
federal laws and regulations.
GENERAL.
The motor rating, as shown on the motor nameplate,
and the power supply must have compatible voltage, phase and
hertz characteristics.
FUSES.
Refer to the National Electric Code to determine the
proper fuse or circuit breaker rating required. When selecting
fuses, remember the momentary starting current of an electric
motor is greater than its full load current. Time-delay or
“slow-blow” fuses are recommended.
GROUNDING.
The unit is equipped with a power cord having a
grounding wire an an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must
be used with an outlet that has been installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances. The outlet must
have the same configuration as the plug. DO NOT USE AN
ADAPTER.
•
WARNING
In the event of a short circuit, grounding reduces
the risk of shock by providing an escape for the
electric current. The unit must be properly
grounded.
•
DANGER
Improper installation of the grounding plug can
result in a risk of electric shock. If repair or
replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do
not connect the grounding wire to either flat
blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an
outer surface that is green with or without yellow
stripes is the grounding wire.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to
whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided; if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a
grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated below. Make
sure the product is connected to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this
product.
EXTENSION CORDS.
It is preferable to use extra air hose
instead of an extension cord to avoid voltage drop and power
loss to the motor, and to prevent overheating. If an extension
cord must be used, ensure it meets the following criteria:
l
Three wire cord with a three blade grounding plug, and a
three slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the unit.
l
Good condition
l
No longer than 50 feet.
l
12 gauge or larger.
NOTE
Wire size increases as gauge number decreases.
For example, 10 AWG and 8 AWG wire is
acceptable, whereas 14 or 16 AWG are NOT
acceptable.
COMPRESSOR LUBRICATION_______________________
•
CAUTION
Do not operate without lubricant or with
inadequate lubricant. Ingersoll Rand is not
responsible for compressor failure caused by
inadequate lubrication.
SYNTHETIC LUBRICANT.
We recommend All Season Select
synthetic compressor lubricant from start-up. See the
WARRANTY section for extended warranty information.
