Location - Quincy QSI-90 Instruction Manual

Location

Locate the compressor on a level surface
in a clean, well-lit and well-ventilated
area. Allow suffi cient space (four feet
of clearance on all sides and top of
the compressor) for safe and proper
daily inspection and maintenance. The
entire length of the frame base must be
supported. Shim where necessary but do
not use wood.
WARNING!
Under no circumstances should a
compressor be installed in an area
exposed to a toxic, volatile or corrosive
atmosphere, nor should toxic, volatile
or corrosive agents be stored near the
compressor.
Ambient temperature should not exceed
110°F. High ambient temperatures may
result in a high air temperature shutdown.
All models are intended for indoor
installation, however, it is possible, with
certain modifi cations, to accommodate
some outdoor locations. Cabinet models
are water-resistant but not water tight.
Sheltering from rain, snow and freezing
temperatures is mandatory.
WARNING!
Do not operate in temperatures below
34°F or above the limits outlined in
Appendix B - Technical Data.
Do not locate the unit where the hot
exhaust air from other compressors or heat
generating equipment may be drawn into
the unit. Never restrict the fl ow of exhaust
air from the fl uid cooler or cooling fan.
Heated exhaust air must be exhausted
outside to prevent high temperature
conditions in the compressor room. If
the room is not properly ventilated,
compressor operating temperatures will
increase and cause a high temperature
shutdown.
Section III - Installation
CAUTION!
Clean, fresh air, of sufficient quantity,
is required for proper compressor
operation.
In high humidity areas, avoid placing
the compressor in a basement or other
damp locations. Control the compressor
temperatures and monitor compressor fl uid
for signs of water contamination. Fluid and
fi lter changes may need to be increased,
and/or fl uid may need to be changed to
QuinSyn-PG in high humidity areas.
Quincy QSI compressors are essentially
vibration free, however, some customers
may choose to bolt the unit to the fl oor
to prevent the accidental breakage of
piping or electrical connections as a result
of being bumped. Use only lag bolts to
secure the unit. Do not pull the bolts down
tight. Overtightening the lag bolts may
place the frame in a twist or bind causing
breakage of fl uid coolers, piping and
reservoirs.
WARNING!
Removal or painting over safety labels
will result in uninformed conditions.
This could result in personal injury or
property damage. Warning signs and
labels shall be provided with enough
light to read, conspicuously located
and maintained for legibility.
not remove any warning, caution or
instructional material attached.
