Page 6: Introduction
INTRODUCTION The ACS-517B Oil-Less Compressed Air System is designed to be used as the air supply for a Thunder Scientific Model 2500 humidity generator. The ACS-517B consists of a vibration isolated oil-less piston compressor, membrane style air dryer, and output regulator, all incorporated into a sound muffling cabinet. -
Page 7: Safety Guidelines
Location Locate the ACS-517B in a clean, dry and well ventilated area. The system should be located at least 12 inches away from the wall or other obstructions that will restrict the flow of air to the ventilation openings. The compressor enclosure is designed to allow for proper cooling;... -
Page 8: Hose Installation
Connect the air hose via the quick connect fitting to the air tank assembly. The other end of hose is connected to the air outlet of the ACS-517B compressor system. Open the ball valve on the air tank before starting the system. -

Page 13: Storage Procedures
Follow the steps below to assure correct shutdown and storage between use: 1. NEVER oil this non-lubricated compressor as damage will result. 2. For long term storage of the ACS-517B, disconnect the air hose at outlet and apply power allowing the compressor to run "open" for at least five minutes. -

- Page 22 COMPONENT LIFE OPERATING AT CONTINUOUS DUTY & MAXIMUM PRESSURE Life of the rings and skirts are difficult to predict due to many conditions, which directly influence wear. Some of these conditions may include ambient air temperature, air cleanliness, operating pressure, duty cycle, maintenance of filters, etc. Because of these various factors it is appropriate to generalize on component wear life and choose some conservative estimates for most standard applications.
