SELECTINGA LOCATION

GENERAL° Select a clean, dry, welt-lighted indoor area with plenty

of space far proper cooling air flow and accessibility. Locate the unit

at least 12 inches (30 cm) from wails, and make sure the main

power supply is clearly identified and accessible

TEMPERATURE.. Ideal operating temperatures are between 32"F

and 100°F (0°C and 37.B_C) If temperatures consistently drop

below 32°F (0"C), locale the unit inside a heated building !f th_s is

not possible, you must protect safety!relief valves and drain valves

from freezing

CAUTION Never operate in temperatures below 20°F (_6.6°C)

or above 125°F (5t.0°C)..

HUMID AREAS. In frequently humid areas, moisture may form in

the bare pump and produce sfudge in the lubricant, causing running

parts to wear out prematurely Excessive moisture is especially

likely to occur if the unit is located in an unheated area that is

subject to large temperature changes Two signs of excessive

humidity are external condensation on the bare pump when it cools

down and a "_mllky_appearance in petroleum compressor lubricant

You may be able to prevent moisture from forming in the bare pump

by increasing ventilation, operating for longer intervals or installing

a crankcase heater kit

NOISE CONSIDERATIONS Consull local officials [or information

regarding acceptable noise levels in your area To reduce excessive

noise, use vibralion isolator pads or intake silencers, relocate the

unit or construct total enclosures or baffle waits

PERMANENT MOUNTING

WARNING Remove the unit from the skid before mounting..

The unit must be permanently mounted When mounting the unit.

bait the feet to a firm. fevel foundation (such as a concrete floor)

Do not bolt uneven feet tight}y to the foundation, as this will cause

excessive stress on the receiver tank Use metal shims under the

"short" feet if necessary

INSTALLING THE A!R INLET FILTER

CAUTION Do not operate the unit without the air inlet filter(s).

If the air around the unit is relatively free of dirt, instant the air inter

filter(s) at the inlet conneclion(s) at the bare pump. If remote air

inlet piping or heavy duty filtration is required, contact your dealer

for information

INSTALLING DISCHARGE PIPING

If it is necessary to install air discharge and condensate discharge

piping, adhere to the following genera{ guidelines Conlact your

dee]or for more _nformation

_ WARNING

,_.WARNING

z_ CAUTION

Do net use plastic pipe, rubber hose, or lead4in

soldered joints anywhere in the compressed air

system

If an afteroeoler, check valve, block vafve, er any

other restriction is added to the compressor

discharge, install a properly*sized ASME approved

safetytrelief valve between the compressor

discharge and the restriction.

If you will be using Ingerso!l-Rand 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 net

included in the Hst, contact your dealer or cab

1=800-AIR-SERV.

Suitable:

Viton®, Teflon@', Epoxy (Glass Fltied), O_1Resistant A_kyd, Fluorostllcone.

Fluorocarbon, Polysulflde, 2-Component Urethane, Nylon, DeSrln®.

Celcon®, High Nltrtle Rubber (Bane N NBR mare than 36% Aerylonltrlle).

Polyurethane, Polyethylene, Eplchtorohydr|n, Polyac_late. Melamine.

Not Recommended:

Neoprene, Naturai Rubber, SBR Rubber. Acrylic Paint. Lacquer, Varnish.

Polystyrene, PVC, ABS. Poiycarbenate. Cellulos_ Acetate, Low Nttrtle

Rubber (Buna N. NBR less than 36% Actylonttdle), EPDM, Ethylene Vinyl

Acetate, Latex. EPR. Acrylics, Phenoxy Polysalfones. Styrene

Aorylenitrlte (San), Butyl

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS.. The piping, fittings, receiver tank.

etc must be certified safe for at least Ihe maximum working

pressure of the unit Use herd-welded or threaded steel or copper

pipes and cast iron fittings 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 feaks

CONDENSATE DISCHARGE PIPING If inslalltng a condensate

discharge line, the piping must be at Ieast one size larger than the

connection, as short and direct as possible, secured tighBy and

routed to a suitable drain point Condensate must be disposed of in

accordance wffh local, state, and federal laws and regulations

NOTE All compressed air systems generate condensate

which accumulates In any drain point (e.go tanks,

filters, drip legs, affercoolers, 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

_, WARNING Electrical installation and service shoutd be

performed by a qualified electrician who is familiar

with all applicable loca!, state and federal laws and

regu}attons r

NOTE This product should be connected to a grounded,

metallic, permanent wiring system, or an

equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the

product.

GENERAL The motor rating, as shown on the motor nameplate,

and the power supply must have compatible voltage, phase and

hertz characleristics

WIRE SIZE. The electrical wiring between the power supply and

electric motor varies according to motor horsepower Power leads

must be adequately sized to protect against excessive voltage drop

during start-up Information for selecting the proper wire size and

securing conneclions should be provided with the motor If not. refer

to the National EIeclric Code (NEC) or applicable local, stale and
