3.3 Compressor start-up
This section covers important information which you need to
observe in order to start up the compressor safely.
Each component of the machine is tested at the factory in con-
tinuous operation after the final assembly. The test ensures that
the components indicate the data given and operate fault-free.
During the initial hours of operation the machine must be
watched to determine any possible malfunctions.
Important!
The respective operating manuals must be read and observed
for machines with additional optionally installed components
(electronic control, frequency converter, refrigerant dryer).
The following points must be observed and carried out before
the first start-up:
Step
Task to be carried out / Points to be
observed:
1
Have an electrician tighten all screw and terminal
connections in the control cabinet
2
The motor bearings of compressors, without perma-
nent greased motor bearings, that are unused longer
than 6 month have to be regreased before putting into
operation
3
A clearly visible sign must be affixed to machines with
remote control with the following wording:
Warning! This machine is remote controlled and
may start without warning!
When controlling the machine remotely you must take
the safety precautions which prevent the
machine from starting up while it is controlled
or maintained; place a relevant instruction on the
remote control switch
4
Do not use the emergency or main switch to switch
the machine off during normal operations
