SECTION 4 TS32 USER MANUAL

OUTDOOR INSTALLATION (SHELTERED)
Compressor packages installed in locations where
they will be exposed to outside elements must be
equipped with a TEFC motor. Standard compressors
have water tight controls that are NEMA 4 rated and
are suitable for this type of installation.
The compressor should be mounted on a concrete
pad. If the pad is not level, the compressor must be
mounted in such a manner that its base or skid is
level in relation to the pad’s surface and fully
supported.
An optional weather hood should be installed to
protect the compressor from precipitation. If the
compressor will exposed to blowing rain or snow, it
should be housed in a covered, four-walled
enclosure.
• Sheltered air-cooled machines must have
their exhaust air vented outside of the
enclosure.
• Installations consisting of more than one
compressor should be done in such a man-
ner that each compressor’s exhaust is
directed away from the air intakes of other
compressors or air dryers.
• A standard compressor should not be
started if the ambient temperature is 35°F
(1.7°C) or lower, or may decrease below
that point.
• Compressor’s operated in sub-freezing
conditions must utilize the cold weather
package. Consult the factory for further
information.
