10.1 GENERAL WARNINGS IT IS ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN TO USE AIR PIPES AND COUPLINGS THAT ARE NOT SUITABLE AND/OR DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE REGULATIONS IN FORCE. DURING COMPRESSOR OPERATION IT IS FORBIDDEN TO DISCONNECT THE PRESSURISED AIR PIPES. THERE IS A RESIDUAL RISK. IT IS OBLIGATORY TO INSTALL THE COMPRESSOR IN A PLACE WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION WHICH ENABLES THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE TO BE MAINTAINED BETWEEN +2 °C AND +40 °C, WITH HUMIDITY BETWEEN 5 AND 95%.
10.5 AIR TANK An auxiliary air tank is always required if the pipe system is not very long, so as to have a sufficient storage capacity and thus avoid rapid cycles. The air tank must be provided with a safety valve, a suitable pressure gauge and a system for draining condensate. IF AN AIR STORAGE TANK OUTSIDE THE COMPRESSOR IS USED, DO NOT FIT CHECK VALVES BETWEEN THE COMPRESSOR AND THE TANK.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION The electric power supply line must be made using cables with a suitable section (*) for the machine power and it must include 3 phase cables + 1 earth cable. • For models in which there is a dryer or a heating element, 1 neutral cable is also necessary. •...
FIRST START-UP The first start-up of the compressor (operative test) must obligatorily be carried out by a specialized technician. Ask the testing technician to fill in the R.C.R. form at the end of the manual. Filling in this form allows you to be sure that a complete test has been performed and, in the event of malfunctions of any kind, faster and more effective action can be taken under guarantee.
STORAGE If for various reasons the compressor cannot be installed at the time of delivery and has to remain some time in storage, it must be placed in a safe environment, with an adequate temperature and degree of humidity, and protected against dust. THE CUSTOMER (EMPLOYER) MUST TAKE ALL NECESSARY STEPS TO ENSURE THAT HIS EMPLOYEES CANNOT ACCESS THE PLACE OF INSTALLATION OF THE COMPRESSOR FOR ANY REASON UNTIL IT HAS BEEN TESTED.
DIRECTIVES AND REFERENCE NORMS The compressor has been designed and made considering the assessments emerging from an accurate analysis of risks and aiming to achieve, considering the present state of the art, the objectives established by the essential safety and health requirements contemplated by the European Directives.

RISKS SIGNAL MEANING GENERAL RISK The compressor must work with the doors closed (five languages). RISK OF ELECTRIC CURRENT Inside the compressor and the electric panel. RISK OF NOISE During compressor operation the noise may reach dangerous levels for your hearing. RISK OF PRESSURISED RESERVOIR The reservoir reaches dangerous pressure levels.
16.2 RESIDUAL RISKS We inform the authorised operators that, although the manufacturer has taken all the technical and constructive precautions possible to make the compressor safe, there remain some potential residual risks described in TAB. 7. RESIDUAL RISK RISK OF BEING STRUCK BY PRESSURISED AIR AND/OR PIPES No.1 FREQUENCY OF Low and accidental.

MAINTENANCE PROGRAMME Before doing any job inside the machine, unless there are commands that require the machine to be switched on see chapter 3.3: “Machine off status”. Every day the user is recommended to check (before starting the compressor) the following: a) Check the oil level (if necessary top up with the same type of oil through the oil filler cap).
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE By routine maintenance we mean all the activities aimed at maintaining the conditions of use and operation of the equipment with various types of intervention performed by the operator. Use only original parts for replacement. 24.1 PRECAUTIONS DURING MAINTENANCE Maintenance and repairs must be carried out only by sufficiently trained personnel, under the supervision of a technician qualified to do the job.
Page 42
When supplied by Power System, the compressor is filled with RotEnergyPlus oil. Type of oil Maintenance intervals (hours) RotEnergyPlus 4000 This lubricant is formulated to the highest quality standards and is factory authorized, tested and approved for use in rotary screw compressors.
SPECIAL MAINTENANCE By special maintenance we mean all the activities aimed at maintaining the conditions of use and operation of the equipment with various types of intervention performed exclusively by the manufacturer’s technician. 25.1 CHANGING THE OIL AND THE OIL FILTER ALWAYS CHECK THE OIL LEVEL WITH THE MACHINE SWITCHED OFF.
25.2 CHECKING AND TOPPING UP THE OIL LEVEL N.B.: If the oil level is below the reference mark “B”, top up the oil. Always check the oil level with the machine switched off. Procedure to be followed to top up the oil: 1) Top up with 0.5 litre of oil 2) Start the compressor and let it run for sufficient time (5 minutes) 3) Switch off the compressor and check the oil level.
25.3 CHANGING THE OIL SEPARATING FILTER (fig.12 rif.A) The oil separating filter with coalescence (fig.12 rif. A) completes the phase of separating the oil from the compressed air. The filter has a spin-on cartridge that is easy to replace. ATTENTION: HOT PARTS INSIDE. Procedure to be followed for changing the spin-on cartridge: - Give the command for automatic stop of the motor.
28.4.2 Versions with direct transmission Procedure to be followed for cleaning or changing the calibrated nozzle: - Give the automatic stop command. - Turn off the power with the switch on the wall. - Turn off the line tap. - Ensure that there is no compressed air inside the separator, checking the pressure gauge provided. - Discharge the pressure from the circuit.
IMPROPER MAINTENANCE OF THE OIL FILTER CAN DAMAGE THE PLANT. CHANGE THE FILTER CARTRIDGE AS INDICATED IN THE MAINTENANCE TABLE. THE CARTRIDGE SHOULD BE CHANGED MORE OFTEN IF OPERATING CONDITIONS REQUIRE IT. CARTRIDGES LEFT UNCHANGED FOR LONGER THAN THE RECOMMENDED PERIOD CAN DAMAGE THE UNIT. 25.6 REMOVAL OF THE AIR/OIL SEPARATOR Procedure to be followed to change the cartridge.
25.8 CLEANING OR CHANGING THE FILTER SUCTION PANEL The prefilter panel guarantees a good air filtration in both ventilation and compression; in this way the internal filters do not become easily obstructed. Fig.16 Procedure to be followed to change the pre-filter. Stop the machine with the stop pushbutton on the electronic board.
25.11 CHECKING AND CHANGING THE TRANSMISSION COUPLING (Only versions with DIRECT transmission) The motor and the compressor are directly connected with a coupling fitted with an elastic element. The coupling must not be lubricated. Use the following procedure to change the elastic element and the joints if necessary. Switch off the compressor by pressing the stop pushbutton on the electronic board.
TROUBLESHOOTING REMEDIES FAULTS CAUSES 1) The pressure transmitter does not intervene; THE COMPRESSOR LOADS, THE SAFETY 2) The intake valve does not close. 1) Contact Power System VALVE TRIPS 3) Safety valve needs replaced. 1) Clean it; 1) Blocked oil separating nipple or calibrated EXCESSIVE OIL 2) Check the part and change it if necessary;...
