WARNING
Failure to adhere to these recommendations can result in mechanical failure, property damage and serious injury or death.
All air and water inlet, and air and water discharge pipework to and from the inlet and discharge port connections must take
into account vibration, pulsations, temperature, maximum pressure applied, corrosion and chemical resistance. In addition, it
should be noted that lubricated compressors will discharge some oil into the air stream; therefore, compatibility between
discharge piping, system accessories and software must be assured.
For the foregoing reasons, the use of plastic piping, soldered copper fittings and rubber hose as discharge piping is not
recommended. In addition, flexible joints and/or flex lines can only be considered for such purposes if their specifications fit
the operating parameters of the system.
It is the responsibility of the installer and owner to provide the appropriate service pipework to and from the machine.
WARNING
CHECK HIGH AIR TEMPERATURE
There is a high discharge air temperature shutdown function built into the Intellisys on each compressor. It is factory pre-set
at 228°F (109°C). This function should be checked at regular intervals for proper operation, once a month is recommended.
The procedure is:
1. Block off the cooling air discharge.
2. The compressor discharge temperature will rise at a rapid rate. Shutdown should occur when the discharge
temperature reaches the pre-set maximum discharge air temperature setting of the Intellisys. The display should
indicate “HIGH AIREND DISCH TEMP” and flash “ALARM”.
The actual temperature at which shutdown occurs should be recorded for comparison to the Intellisys set point and with
similar future test results.
