Voltage And Circuit Protection; Main Power Disconnect Switch; Air Distribution System - DeWalt DXCM603 Instruction Manual

This product must be connected to a grounded, metallic,
permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding terminal
or lead on the product.
DANGER: Risk of electrical shock. Improper grounding can result in
electrical shock.

VOLTAGE AND CIRCUIT PROTECTION

Refer to the Voltage and Minimum Branch Circuit
Requirements under Specifications, page 8.
• Voltage supply to circuit must comply with the National
Electrical Code.
• Circuit is not used to supply any other electrical needs.

MAIN POWER DISCONNECT SWITCH

Install a main power disconnect switch in the line from the panel
to the air compressor. The main power disconnect switch must
be located near the air compressor, for ease of use and safety.
When turned OFF, the main power disconnect switch shuts
off all power to the air compressor. When turned ON, the air
compressor will start and stop automatically, controlled by the
pressure switch.

AIR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

WARNING: Risk of bursting. Plastic or PVC pipe is not designed to use
compressed air. Regardless of its indicated pressure rating, plastic pipe
can burst from air pressure. Use only metal pipe for air distribution lines.
NOTICE: Compressed air from oil lubed air compressors will
contain water condensation and oil mist. Several drains, traps
and filters will be needed to supply air without water (including
aerosols) or oil to spray equipment, air tools and accessories
requiring filtered air. Always read the instructions for the air tools
and accessories being used.
• Use pipe that is the same size as the tank outlet. Piping that is
too small will restrict the flow of air.
• If piping is over 100' (30.5 m) long, use the next larger size.
• Bury underground lines below the frost line and avoid pockets
where condensation can gather and freeze. Apply pressure
before underground lines are covered to make sure all pipe
joints are free of leaks.
• A flexible coupling is recommended to be installed between
the globe valve/air discharge outlet and main air distribution
line to allow for vibration.
• A separate regulator is recommended to control the air
pressure. Air pressure from the tank is usually too high for
individual air driven tools.
• DO NOT install lubricators between the tank and any spray
equipment, air tool or accessory requiring oil-free filtered air.
• Drain all traps, filters and dirt legs daily.
