1 | Safety 1.1 Identification of safety instructions: DANGER Indicates a dangerous situation which, if not avoided, will cause immediate fatal or serious injury. WARNING Indicates a dangerous situation which, if not avoided, may cause fatal or serious injury. CAUTION Indicates a dangerous situation which, if not avoided, may cause fairly severe or minor injury.
1 | Safety 1.3 Safety instructions WARNING • Refrigerating compressors are pressurised machines and there- fore require particular caution and care in handling. • Risk of burns! Depending on the operating conditions, surface temperatures of over 60 °C on the pressure side or below 0 °C on the suction side can be reached.
1 | Safety 1.4 Intended use These assembly instructions describe the compressors named in the title manufactured by GEA. The compressor is intended for use in refrigeration systems inside explosion-endangered areas under the designation specified on the name plate in accordance with the European ATEX Directives. Use of the specified refrigerants as well as observance of the operating limits and listed stand- ards must be ensured in any case.

2 | Product description 2.2 Ignition protection concept In accordance with Directive 2014/34/EU, GEA ATEX compressors are suitable for use in device category 2 for explosive gas atmospheres up to temperature class T3 and explosion hazard subgroup IIB / IIC. The entire compressor, including motor, is perceived as technically tight and therefore does not need an ignition protection.

2 | Product description Accessories Heating elements for the compressors to protect against explosion risks are designed in the pro- tection types increased safety (Ex d) and have to have to be mounted stationary at the designated areas in the compressor housing. The heating elements can be operated without temperature- and oil level control since the thermal type testing by the manufacturer verified that the heating elements prevent the exceeding of the temperature class of the compressor.

3 | Areas of application 3.4 Limits of application ATTENTION Compressor operation is possible within the operating limits. These can be found in GEA Bock compressor selection tool (VAP) under vap.gea.com. Observe the information given there. - Max. permissible discharge end temperature 140 °C.
4 | Compressor assembly INFO • New compressors are factory-filled with inert gas. Leave this ser- vice charge in the compressor for as long as possible and prevent the ingress of air. • Check the compressor for transport damage before starting any work.
4 | Compressor assembly 4.2 Storage and transport Storage at (−30 °C) - (+70 °C), maximum permissible relative humid- ity 10 % - 95 %, no condensation Do not store in a corrosive, dusty, vaporous atmosphere or in a com- bustible environment. Fig. 5 Use transport eyelet. Do not lift manually! Use lifting gear! Fig.
4 | Compressor assembly 4.4 Pipe connections The pressure and suction shut-off valves have graduated inside di- ameters so that pipes in the common millimeter and inch dimensions can be used. The pipe will be inserted more or less deep, depending on the dimension.
4 | Compressor assembly 4.6 Laying suction and pressure lines ATTENTION Improperly installed pipes can cause cracks and tears which can result in a loss of refrigerant INFO Proper layout of the suction and pressure lines directly after the compressor is integral to the smooth running and vibration behav- iour of the system.

5 | Electrical connection Electrical connection DANGER Risk of electric shock! High voltage! Only carry out work when the electrical system is disconnected from the power supply! ATTENTION When attaching accessories with an electrical cable, a minimum bending radius of 3 x the cable diameter must be maintained for laying the cable.
5 | Electrical connection 5.1 Potential equalization Before start-up, the potential equalisation must be connected (see Fig. 18). INFO Special attention must be paid to sufficient conductivity of all con- tact points. There must be a large seat (e.g. with ring cable lug). The installed voltage equalization must be secured against loosing and firmly connected to earth.
5 | Electrical connection - A t ambient temperatures > 40 °C, supply lines and cable / line bushings with a temperature resistance of at least 90 °C must be used. - The interpretation of the minimum terminal cross sections refer to the voltage range of 400 V, 50 Hz at 30 °C ambient temperature.

6 | Commissioning WARNING All of the following work must be performed only by qualified personnel (see page 4) and with exclusion of an explosive atmos- phere. 6.1 Preparations for start-up INFO In order to protect the compressor against prohibited operating conditions, high- and low-pressure monitors are necessary in accordance with the relevant national regulations! The compressor has undergone trials in the factory and all functions have been tested.
6 | Commissioning 6.4 Evacuation ATTENTION Do not start the compressor if it is under vacuum. Do not apply any voltage - even for test purposes (must only be operated with refrigerant). Under vacuum, the spark-over and creepage current distances of the terminal board connection bolts shorten;...
6 | Commissioning 6.6 Start-up WARNING Ensure that both shut-off valves are open before starting the compressor! Check that the safety and protection devices (pressure switch, motor protection, electrical contact protection measures, etc.) are functioning properly. Switch on the compressor and let it run for at least 10 minutes. Check the oil level: The oil must be visible in the sight glass. ATTENTION If larger quantities of oil have to be topped up, there is a risk of oil impact effects.
7 | Maintenance 7.1 Preparation WARNING All work must be performed only by: qualified personnel (see page 4) with exclusion of any danger of explosion. Before starting any work on the compressor: Obtain written work release. Switch off the compressor and secure it to prevent a restart. Relieve compressor of system pressure.
