Sealey SSC11003, Instructions Manual

4.2.

ROOM TEMPERATURE.

4.2.1. for correct functioning of the compressor the room    

temperature must not be lower than 5°c or higher than 45°c.

4.2.2. If the compressor is operated at a room temperature    

lower than the minimum value, the condensate could be  

separated within the circuit resulting in water mixing with the  

oil. the resulting deterioration in oil quality would fail to  

guarantee the even formation of an effective lubricating film  

between moving parts with the possibility of seizure.

4.2.3. If the compressor works at a room temperature higher than  

maximum value, the compressor would take in air that is too  

hot, which would prevent the heat exchanger from adequately  

cooling the oil in the circuit, raising the working temperature of  

the machine, thus causing the thermal safety device to trip,  

which stops the compressor due to the excessive temperature  

of the air/oil mixture at the screw outlet.

4.2.4.

 The maximum temperature of the room is to be measured  

while the compressor is running.

4.3.

OPERATING ENVIRONMENT.

the compressor must be installed in a large room that is well- 

ventilated, dust-free and sheltered away from rain and frost.  

the compressor takes in a large amount of air that is required  

for internal ventilation. A dusty atmosphere would in time  

cause damage and inefficient performance. Dust drawn into  

the machine will be taken into the air filter causing it to clog  

rapidly. Incoming dust will also settle onto the components and  

will be blown against the cooling radiator, consequently  

compromising the efficiency of the heat exchanger. It is  

therefore obvious that the cleanliness of the area in which the  

compressor is installed is crucial for the optimum efficiency of  

the machine, avoiding excessive running and maintenance  

costs. to facilitate maintenance and to create a favourable  

circulation of air, the compressor must have sufficient free  

space all around it as shown in fig.2.

4.4.

UNSUITABLE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.

4.4.1. 

DO NOT

 install the compressor in an environment where there  

is a risk of fire and/or explosion.

4.4.2. 

DO NOT

 install the compressor in an environment where there  

is a risk that the machine may overheat. (maximum permitted  

operating temperature 45ºc).

4.4.3. 

DO NOT

 install the compressor in an atmosphere where the  

humidity will be higher than 80%.

4.4.4. 

NOTE:

 this compressor is designed to work with a tank of a  

specific size i.e.100ltr. no liability will be accepted for any  

related malfunctions or problems resulting from the    

compressor being connected to a different tank. the    

compressor should not be modified in any way.

4.5.

CONNECTING TO THE TANK COMPRESSED AIR OUTLET.

connect the compressor to the air delivery system using the     

quick coupler (fig3.A). use hose of the same diameter (or  

greater) as the compressor outlet. If a connection hose leaks  

or is faulty never try to repair it but replace with a sound one.

5.  OPERATION  

 

WARNING! Ensure that you have read, understood and  

apply Section 1 safety instructions.

 NOTE: 

take care when selecting tools for use with the  

compressor. Air tool manufacturers normally express the  

volume of air required to operate a tool in cubic feet per minute  

(cfm). this refers to free air delivered by the compressor (‘air  

out’) which varies according to the pressure setting. Do not  

confuse this with the compressor displacement which is the air  

taken in by the compressor (‘air in’). ‘Air out’ is always less  

than ‘air in’ due to losses within the compressor. 

5.1.    INITIAL START.

5.1.1.

Upon first use or following an extended inactive period switch  

on and off (fig3.E.) for 3 or 4 seconds several times. This is to  

start the oil circulating.

5.1.2.  Switch the machine back on with the drain tap (fig.4) open  

and run for 2 minutes to circulate the oil thoroughly without  

building pressure.

5.1.3.  close the drain tap and re-start the compressor; allow to build  

up to full pressure at which point the pump will unload and run

idle for 2 minutes.

5.1.4.  If there has been no air use during this 2 minutes, the machine

will shut down to stand-by mode.

5.1.5.  When the pressure drops by 2 bar, the machine will switch on  

again to regain full pressure.

5.1.6:  It is not necessary to repeat this procedure in normal use.

A: Air line quick connector

B: Pressure regulator

C: Tank pressure gauge

D: Line pressure gauge

E: On/Off switch

F: Hours counter

G: Reset button

fig.4

5.2.  PRESSURE REGULATION.

5.2.1.  The tank pressure is shown by gauge fig.3.c.

5.2.2.  The line (delivery) pressure is shown by gauge fig

.

3.D.

and is

adjusted by means of the pressure regulator fig.3.B. 

to  increase pressure: turn clockwise; to decrease: turn 

 anticlockwise.

5.2.3. 

NOTE: 

 the regulator should be turned back to zero before  

running the machine for the first time, and the pressure  

increased to the desired level when the tank is full. failure to  

do  this could result in damage to the diaphragm within the  

 regulator.

5.3.  SWITCHING OFF

5.3.1.  Switch off using on/off switch (fig.3.E) 

DO NOT 

switch off by 

switching the mains supply off.

5.3.2.  When switched off by the on/off switch, the compressor will  

continue to run for some time in order to clear the pump of oil.

5.4.  DUTY CYCL

E

the recommended duty cycle is 80%, meaning that the 

machine should not be run continuously for more than

48 minutes in one hour.
