INSTALLATION AND BREAK-IN PROCEDURES
Wiring Instructions
If your compressor unit is not equipped with a
IMPROPER ELECTRICAL GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. WIRING SHOULD BE DONE BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH NA- TIONAL AND LOCAL CODES AND ORDI- NANCES.
Install the compressor outfit as close to the main power supply as possible. This practice will avoid using long lengths of electrical wiring for the power supply which can cause power loss to the motor. When connecting wires make sure that:
1.The amperage rating of the electrical box is adequate. Refer to the Specification Chart (cover page) for your air compressor outfit.
2.The supply line has the same electrical characteristics (voltage, cycle, and phase) as motor.
Wiring must be such that full motor nameplate voltage plus or minus 10%, is available at the motor terminals during starting. Refer to local codes for recommended wire sizes for correct wire size and maximum wire run; undersize wire causes high amp draw and overheating to the motor.
Electrical wiring must be located away from hot surfaces such as the compressor head, compressor cylinder, or compres- sor outlet tube.
Voltage and Circuit Protection
Refer to The Specification Chart for the voltage and circuit protection requirements of your compressor. Use only a fuse or circuit breaker that is the same rating as the branch circuit the air compressor is operated on. If the compressor is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use only dual element time delay fuses. See Specification Chart.
