8.2. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
For installation of electrical equipment attend to the following:
Follow the National Electric Code or local Electric code in providing, fusing, and disconnect switches.
Check electrical supply for voltage, phase, and frequency to see that they match the nameplate stampings on the
motor, magnetic starter solenoids, and other control devices.
Ensure correct installation is carried out only by qualified personnel only.
Immediately after start-up, check direction of rotation with arrow on unit.
8.3. OPERATION
8.3.1. Preparation for operation
All compressors are tested prior to delivery to the customer, so after correct installation, there should be no
problem putting it into operation, observing the following points:
- Prior to first operation read lnstruction Manual carefully. Make sure that all persons handling the compressor
and the filling station are familiar with the function of all controls and monitors.
- Prior to first operation or operation subsequent to maintenance work, turn the compressor manually using the
flywheel to ensure that all parts are turning free.
8.3.2. Starting the compressor
When starting the compressor it is absolutely essential to check the direction of rotation (observe arrow for
rotation direction). The correct direction of rotation is counter-clockwise, facing the flywheel
8.4. SHUT-DOWN PROCEDURE
After the shut-down of the oil-less compressors, condensate of the intermediate and final separator has to be
drained manually (see chapter 3) on compressor’s which are not equipped with an automatic condensate drain.
Make sure that the separators are drained during shut-down on compressors with a drain valve.
