Before use ▪ Inspect the product • Inspect the product to be sure you have the model you ordered. Scroll 50HP 208; 208V 60HP 230; 230V Enclosure 460; 460V Three phase N/A; 115psi (Maximum pressure) 145psi (Maximum pressure) • Check that there is no deformity or damage which occurred during transportation. Any shipping damage must be immediately filed with the freight carrier.
Before use ▪ Transportation • Transportation by forklift Use holes for forklift on both sides of compressor. Do not puncture panel with tips of forklift. • Transportation by crane Use holes for forklift as illustrated and lift up by wire. Be sure to use pads in order to protect panels.
Installation ▪ Precautions about installation あ Do not install Do not use in an area which is exposed to rain, steam or high humidity. High humidity can cause electric shock or fire. Do not install in an area with corrosive gas (ammonia, acid, ozone gas and sulfur dioxide) to prevent a shorter lifespan.
The following ventilation volume is necessary in order to keep temperature increase inside room to 9°F above room temperature. When the static pressure is zero, select the actual figure larger than the figures in the chart below. SLE-50 SLE-60 Model...

When installing the exhaust duct, take precautions to minimize pressure loss of duct, and attach the ventilation fan at the exhaust section. Keep distance between the duct inlet and exhaust of the compressor to 8 - 12 inches for easy maintenance. SLE-50 SLE-60 Model...
(4) Installing an air receiver is optional. When purchasing an air receiver, select a receiver larger than the following capacity. SLE-50, SLE-50H; 300 Gallon SLE-60, SLE-60H; 400 Gallon ❖ In case the differential is changed to 15 psi, the volume of the air receiver must be 1.5 times larger than the recommendation at 22 psi.
Installation ▪ Electrical wiring ❖ Precautions about wiring た Turn off main electric source before inspecting or wiring. Deviation from this instruction can cause electric shock or serious bodily injury. い Only a qualified electrician should perform repairs to prevent electric shock or fire. い...
Test operation ▪ Operation ❖ Preparation (1) Check to be sure the air receiver piping has been firmly connected. (2) Open the ball valve of the compressor air outlet. (3) Turn on the main electric source and be sure the display section of the operating panel lights up.
Page 16
Operate the unit while the ball valve of the air receiver is closed. Be sure the compressor stops at the pressure shown below. Model Max. pressure (psi) SLE-50, SLE-60 SLE-50H, SLE-60H ❖ Check minimum control pressure When maximum pressure is reached and compressor stops, open outlet valve and gradually reduce pressure.
Multi-stage control ❖ This figure is an example of the operation of SLE-40 and SLE-40H. SLE-50 and SLE-50H operate 5 air ends and SLE-60 and SLE-60H operate 6 air ends. (2) Prevention of long-term operation When the operating time of the an air end exceeds the set time, it changes operation from that air end to the one which has stopped, preventing long-term operation of one air end.

Operating panel ▪ Changing the HMI Internal Clock The HMI system clock is set to default by the manufacturer. During an alarm event the alarm log screen displays occurrence time and date as well as alarm message. The occurrence time and date correspond to the HMI system time and date, therefore it is recommended to change the HMI system clock to correspond to the local time zone.

Problems and remedies If you have any problems, please refer to the chart below. If the (*) marked items are difficult for you to fix, please contact the shop you purchased it from. ▪ Compressor Problems Causes Remedies • • Electric source is not turned on.
Maintenance and inspection Carry out the following maintenance and inspection items according to the schedule below. This interval is based on conditions where ambient temperature is at around 86°F. If your location is warmer or running condition is severe, maintain at a shorter period. 30% from our recommendation at every 9 degree F. The maintenance time differs from guarantee period.
Maintenance and inspection To keep your compressor in good condition for a long time, you must conduct proper inspection and maintenance. Consider periodic inspection as a minimum standard, shortening the time if necessary. ▪ Daily • Drain the condensate from the air receiver. Activate the drain valve of air receiver before releasing compressed air in air receiver, and Drain condensate from air receiver.
Page 46
Maintenance and inspection • Safety valve Lift the stem of the safety valve at about maximum pressure and blow it off. Then push the stem down. • Check ventilation fan Check the ventilation fan to see if it rotates correctly and exhausts air during compressor operation.
Page 47
Maintenance and inspection ▪ Every 2,000 hours or yearly • Replace the intake filter. フィルタ Filter • Check the belt tension. See if the V belt makes a slipping sound at the startup, due to decrease of the V belt tension. If so, readjust the belt tension or replace it.
Maintenance and inspection • Check leakage Close the stop valve at the air receiver outlet and push the operating switch of the compressor to operate. When all compressors stop operation at maximum pressure, push the stop switch and check the air pressure of the operating panel.
