CAUTION:
If temperatures consistently drop below 32° F, install the compressor in a heated area.
CAUTION:
Never operate the compressor in temperatures below 20°F or above 104°F.
WARNING:
A compressor should never be used in an area where toxic, corrosive, or volatile agents may be present.
MOUNTING THE COMPRESSOR
CAUTION:
Remove the compressor from the shipping skid before mounting.
ANTI-VIBRATION INSTALLATION
Be sure your C-Aire compressor is mounted on a level, concrete floor,
preferably using anti-vibration pads.
When installing anchor bolts from your installation kit, all anchor bolts
should be
finger tight only
.
All vertical tank units must be safely anchored.
CAUTION:
Over-tightening bolts or mounting to an uneven surface
could cause damage to the compressor.
CAUTION:
Never operate this unit more than 15 degrees off level, and
never move it while it is operational.
NOTE:
The dry pipe/sprinkler system compressor is to be installed in
accordance with the Standard for Installation of Sprinkler Systems, NFPA 13.
INLET AND DISCHARGE PIPING
CAUTION:
Do not operate unit without inlet-air filtration.
If the air is dirty, pipe the filter to a source of clean air.
Do not install piping with a diameter lower than that of the pump intake.
CAUTION:
Do not use PVC plastic in the discharge line.
Use hand-welded or threaded steel or copper pipes and cast-iron fittings that are safe for the discharge pressure and
temperature.
WARNING:
Compressor installation must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National
Electrical Code (NEC) or the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC)
OSHA code, and/or any local or state codes having precedence.
Be sure of proper wire sizing and that the circuit breaker and the distance from the breaker is within suggested range.
Confirm your electrical-supply voltage matches what is required for the motor. If using a three-phase motor, any
unreasonable voltage imbalance between the legs must be eliminated and any high or low voltage corrected to prevent
excessive current draw.
