During the assembly, watch that no foreign body penetrates
into the packages outlet. The piping of expulsion must be per-
fectly clean. Any foreign body risks to damage seriously the
compressor.
The installation should comply with the CE regulations on
machinery directives. In particular, the pulley and belt should
not be accessible once the compressor package is mounted
on the truck.
The presence of foreign bodies in the compressor inlet
channel is susceptible of leading to serious property
damages or serious injuries and would void the warranty.
2.1 Mounting location
The package must be installed in a location where it is
easily accessible.
In particular, make sure that the oil filling plug and the fil-
ter are accessible.
Choose a location where the compressor is relatively
protected from gravel projections and road spray as well
as exhaust fumes and engine heat.
The best location for the compressor is the side of the
truck.
In normal operation, the compressor, the silencer, the
outlet piping and their surrounding parts (covers, …)
may reach high temperatures (up to 200°C). Make sure
that you do not put sensitive components close to a heat
source, and affix plates warning users that the compres-
sor is hot, to avoid any burn hazards.
The package should respect the minimum distance to
the road specified on the truck manual to reduce road
dirt damages. In case no such information is available,
use 200 mm.
The belts and pulley transmission should maintain a
mimimum 30 mm clearance away from any stationary or
mobile part mounted or used on the truck. In particular,
the pulley and shaft should be properly cleared from the
truck main drive shaft.
Failure to do so may result in bodily injury or property
damage.
2.2 Inlet filter
The installation shall be such that the air sucked by the
filter is within 5°C of the ambient air temperature.
To prevent any excessive clogging of the filter, the air
sucked inside the filter shall be free of any exhaust fume
residue or road dust.
In front of the filter, an area of a minimum of 200 mm
should be left free to allow enough space to change the
cartridge.
2.3 Check relief / Safety valve
The compressor packages are protected by a check
relief/safety valve.
The check valve prevents any air from returning in the
compressor when it is no longer in operation.
The setting of the safety valve has been done before
delivery of the compressor. This setting is sealed. Any
tampering with the safety valve sealing will void the war-
ranty. Should you require to change the setting value,
contact one of Blackmer authorized service center.
The use of a TYPHON compressor at a pressure
higher than that specified can lead to serious pro-
perty damage and/or serious injuries.
The maximum setting of the relief valve is 2,3 bar on
Typhon packages.
This setting should take into account the normal working
speed, as described in § 1.3.
2.4 Drive systems
WARNING
:
To comply with European machinery directives, the rota-
tive drive part of the compressor packages installation
(pulley, belt, PTO) must not be accessible to the truck
driver in normal conditions. If necessary, install the
necessary protection to prevent any risk of property
dama-ge or body injury. The installation of those protec-
tions is the installer responsibility. Blackmer shall not be
liable from damage or injuries resulting in the lack or
poor quality of installation of such protective device on
the truck.
