DHP Air Compressor Pre-installation Guide (Cont.)
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS - LINE VOLTAGE - Single phase 120v/60hz or 240/60hz elec-
tricity is required for proper operation of the DHP Dental Air Compressor. All electrical sources
to the DHP Dental Air Compressors MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED! All DHP Dental Air
Compressors are available in either 120 volt or 240 volt, however the DHP one Horsepower
model is standard 120 volt and the DHP two Horsepower model is standard 240 volt. The DHP
one horsepower model is available in 240 volt upon written request - verbal requests will not be
accepted.
ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT - All DHP Dental Air Compressors require a dedicated 20 amp service.
It is acceptable to use a 120 volt or 240 volt switch (depending upon which of the DHP models
are ordered) to activate the Dental Air Compressor, however it is strongly recommended that the
electrical panel fuse breaker not be used to activate the Dental Air Compressor as it will deterio-
rate the fuse and significantly shorten the lifespan of the fuse.
PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS
AIR LINE - A 1/2" copper male pipe thread fitting on the utility closet end of the air line to the
operatories is required to attach the Dental Air Compressor supply line to.
NOTE: The DHP Dental Air Compressor regenerating desiccant drying system will expel a mini-
mal amount of moisture and it is recommended that the 1/4" poly - tubing be situated in either a
floor sink, drain or small bucket that can be emptied as needed.
