INSTALLATION

WARNING:

Improper installation may result in damage to the unit, personal injury or death.

All persons operating the Yacht Pro Series system must read this manual completely and fully under-

stand the procedures for system operation and the responsibilities of the operator to insure the safety of divers
supplied with air from the system. We recommend professional installation by our experienced installation techni-
cians. The Yacht Pro Series must not be operated in an enclosure that does not meet the installation/operation
guidelines for the unit. Contact our Technical Department for advice.

The Yacht Pro™ series tank ﬁll compressor must be installed in accordance with the following recommendations:

1. Ambient temperature during operation must not exceed 100 deg F (38 deg C) maximum. The unit will produce
heat when operating, therefore adequate ventilation must be provided to stay well within the maximum limit listed
above.
We recommend operating unit well below the maximum limit. Forced Ventilation must be used where poor air
circulation is present. Contact our Technical Department with questions regarding proper ventilation.

2. Proper clearances must be allowed for the following:

a. 6” minimum from the fan cover to any bulkhead. This provides adequate air supply for the cooling fan.
b. 8” minimum above the ﬁlter tower. This allows easy ﬁlter removal/replacement and easy access to re-

move the oil dipstick for checking/changing oil.

c. Allow working access to the electrical box for service/repair.
d. The oil drain tube must have clearance for oil changes.
e. The condensate drain reservoir must be accessible for removal.
f. Hour meter, on/off switch, and visual monitor must be accessible for safe operation.
g. Belt Guard must be accessible for service of drive belt.

3. The unit must be installed on a ﬂat, level surface. No more than 10 deg inclination must occur during operation.

4. The Yacht Pro Series units are provided as a complete assembly ready for installation. NOTE: Some installa-
tions may require remote mounting of package components. This must be approved by our Technical Department.

NOTE:

Any alterations of the original system without approval by our technical department will void the manufac-

turer’s warranties.

5. Clean, fresh air must be provided to the air intake of the compressor as close to the operating ambient temper-
ature of the unit as possible. Remote air intake plumbing may be required. A non-collapsible plastic hose with 3/4”
ID is the simplest method. The 3/4” ID may be run for a length of 10’. Longer runs may be used by following this
guideline: For every 10’ of run the preceding 10’ diameter must be doubled. All 90 deg ﬁttings should be consid-
ered as 1 foot of length.

NOTE:

The intake must be protected from water entry, as this will cause severe damage to the unit.

6. The unit must be protected from any type of water exposure. Such exposure will seriously effect the longevity
of the unit and may result in personal injury or death.

7. Electrical Requirements:
Yacht Pro series compressors come standard with 220 VAC 60 HZ single phase electric motors. They are
equipped with 120 VAC 60HZ controls and components. All units require correct electrical supply components
be provided in accordance with local, state and federal codes for land installation and marine codes for on-board
installation. An electrician should be consulted for supply power recommendations. Standard units require that a
neutral wire be provided with the standard power supply, for correct operation. An optional remote transformer can
be used to provide control voltage if neutral is not available. Some voltage and cycle combinations will require an
optional transformer for correct operation.Yacht Pro Series are available for other electrical requirements. Please
contact our Technical Department for speciﬁcations.
