4. CONNECTING STORAGE BOTTLES
(OPTIONAL)
Compressor units with factory installed storage bottle(s) on
a common base frame (see drawing 073314 or 073791, re
spectively in section F.). The pressure outlet of the com
pressor unit is already routed to the storage bottle. The cus
tomer's pressure system will then be connected directly to
the storage bottle.
The pressure connection is situated on the upper bottle
connector at the T connector suitable to connect tubes with
an outer diameter of 10 mm. A detachable adaptor 4 8/10
mm enables connection of either 4 8mm as well as 4 10 mm
tubes. The adaptor is standard delivery scope.
Note that the upper tube connectors are sealed for trans
portation with plugs to protect the storage bottles from hu
midity and soil. Remove the plugs to connect the pressure
line system to either connector.
The storage bottles are fitted with a condensate drain valve
mounted at the lower console.
Do not connect the lower bottle connec
tion (condensate drain outlet) to the pres
sure line system! This connector is not
suitable for high pressure and severe
damage or injuries may occur if connec
ted to the high pressure system.
5. TAKING INTO OPERATION
5.1. PREPARATION FOR OPERATION
All compressor units are tested prior to
delivery to the customer, so after correct
installation of the unit there should be no
problem putting it into operation, ob
serving the following points:
- Prior to first operation read Instruction Manual care
fully. Make sure that all persons handling the com
pressor and the filling station are familiar with the func
tion of all controls and monitors. Observe the WARN
INGs in chapter C-1.1.
- Depending on the model range, some compressor units
are delivered without oil in the crankcase. In this case,
the first filling quantity is delivered separately in the con
signment. Prior to first operation fill with oil according
to chapter D-2. After taking unit into operation after a
standstill period of 2 years or more change compressor
oil. When using a mineral oil change oil after one year.
- Prior to each operation check the oil level according to
chapter D-2 and determine whether maintenance is ne
cessary in accordance with chapter D-1.
- Prior to first operation or operation subsequent to
maintenance or repairwork, turn the compressor manu
ally using the flywheel to ensure that all parts are turning
free. Check that all fastening bolts and threaded pipes
are secure and sealed, if necessary tighten them to the
correct torque value.
- Immediately after switching on the system for the first
time check the direction of rotation of the motor for
compliance with the arrow on the unit. If motor turns in
the wrong direction, the phases are not connected
properly. Shut down unit immediately and interchange
two of the three phase leads in the switch box. Never
change leads at the motor terminal board.
The oil pump will operate in the correct
sense of rotation, only. Otherwise, no oil
pressure will be built up resulting in dam
age of the compressor block.
- Prior to first operation or op
eration subsequent to repair
work operate unit for at least
10 minutes with open con
densate valves (pressureless)
to ensure proper lubrication
of all parts before pressure is
built up. To keep drain valves
open, loosen screw (3) on coil
(1) and pull plug (2) from
solenoid valve.
- Open the outlet valve, this must be open during opera
tion. Close only for servicing the compressor to avoid
gas escaping from connected receivers.
- Every time the unit is started up check all systems for
proper operation. If any malfunction is observed stop
unit immediately and find the cause of the fault or call
the service department.
