The operator must employ safe working practices and observe all related work safety requirements and regulations. 2. If any of the following statements does not comply with the applicable legislation, the stricter of the two shall apply.

  • Page 9: Safety Precautions During Installation

    Instruction book Safety precautions during installation All responsibility for any damage or injury resulting from neglecting these precautions, or non observance of the normal caution and care required for installation, operation, maintenance and repair, even if not expressly stated, will be disclaimed by the manufacturer.

  • Page 10: Safety Precautions During Operation

    Instruction book 16. Piping or other parts with a temperature in excess of 70˚C (158˚F) and which may be accidentally touched by personnel in normal operation must be guarded or insulated. Other high temperature piping must be clearly marked. 17. For water-cooled machines, the cooling water system installed outside the machine has to be protected by a safety device with set pressure according to the maximum cooling water inlet pressure.

  • Page 11: Safety Precautions During Maintenance Or Repair

    Instruction book • Air cooling filters of the electrical cabinet are not clogged 9. If warm cooling air from compressors is used in air heating systems, e.g. to warm up a workroom, take precautions against air pollution and possible contamination of the breathing air. 10.
  • Page 12 Instruction book 12. Whenever there is an indication or any suspicion that an internal part of a machine is overheated, the machine shall be stopped but no inspection covers shall be opened before sufficient cooling time has elapsed; this to avoid the risk of spontaneous ignition of the oil vapor when air is admitted. 13.

  • Page 13: General Description

    Instruction book General description Introduction General view General view of GA VSD Description of GA VSD compressors GA VSD (Variable Speed Drive) compressors are single-stage, oil-injected screw compressors directly driven by an electric motor. The compressors deliver pulsation-free air. By continuously matching the speed of the drive motor to the air net pressure, the compressor optimizes energy consumption and reduces the operating pressure band.

  • Page 17 Instruction book Rear view of air-cooled GA Air flow Air drawn through filter (AF) is compressed in compressor element (E). Compressed air and oil are discharged through check valve (CV) to air receiver/oil separator (AR) where oil is separated from the compressed air. The air is blown through minimum pressure valve (Vp) to air cooler (Ca).

  • Page 20 Instruction book Ref. Designation Load Indirect stop Start (10) Indirect stop offset If the motor is running at minimum speed and the net pressure rises to a value equal to the sum of the programmed pressure set-point and the programmed indirect stop offset, the compressor will stop. When the net pressure drops, the regulator will calculate the optimum moment to restart the compressor to avoid the net pressure decreasing below the pressure set-point (anticipated starting).

  • Page 21: Control Panel

    The regulator has a built-in function to automatically restart the compressor if the voltage is restored after voltage failure. This function is deactivated in compressors leaving the factory. If desired, the function can be activated. Consult Atlas Copco. If activated and provided the module was in the automatic operation mode, the compressor will automatically restart if the supply voltage to the module is restored within a programmed time period.
