4.7 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

CAUTION

TURN OFF MAIN POWER SUPPLY BEFORE WIRING TO THE
AFTERCOOLER.

MAKE SURE THAT ALL USER SUPPLIED WIRING IS
PROPERLY  SIZED  TO  HANDLE  THE  AMPERAGE  REQUIRED
BY  THE  AFTERCOOLER  AND  ANY  ADDITIONAL
EQUIPMENT.

WHEN WIRING TO THIS UNIT AND ANY OTHER
ELECTRICAL  COMPONENTS,  ALWAYS  COMPLY  WITH  THE
NATIONAL  ELECTRICAL  CODE  AND  ALL  APPLICABLE
FEDERAL,  STATE  AND  LOCAL  CODES.

IF  THE  AFTERCOOLER  IS  TO  BE  INSTALLED  OUTDOORS
OR IN AN EXTREMELY HUMID ATMOSPHERE, MAKE SURE
THAT  ALL  WIRING  AND  COMPONENTS  ARE  PROPERLY
RATED.

VERIFY THAT THE POWER SOURCE MATCHES THE
AFTERCOOLER  ELECTRICAL  REQUIREMENTS  BEFORE
MAKING  ANY  CONNECTIONS.    REFERENCE  EQUIPMENT
DATA  TAG  AND  FIGURE  4  FOR  INFORMATION.

TO PREVENT POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL SHOCK, IT IS
IMPORTANT THAT THIS UNIT IS GROUNDED.  ALWAYS USE
THE  PROVIDED  GROUNDING  SCREW.

The aftercooler electrical requirements are listed on the
equipment data tag and in Figure 5.  If there are any discrepan-
cies between the data tag and Figure 5, use the information on
the tag.

 Remove the cover from the electrical junction box on the
aftercooler motor.  Using FIGURE 5 as reference, make the
necessary wiring connections.  Several ways to wire the unit
are listed below.  Make the connections for the pertinent
application(s).

1.  DEDICATED POWER SUPPLY AND DISCONNECT

Install a properly sized fused disconnect before the
aftercooler.  Make the necessary wire connections and re-
install the junction box cover.

2.  INTERLOCKED WITH COMPRESSOR MOTOR STARTER

The aftercooler can be interlocked with the air compressor
starter.  This allows the aftercooler to operate only when the
air compressor is operating.

If a set of auxiliary, normally open contacts is available on
the air compressor magnetic starter, make necessary wiring
connections from the contacts to the aftercooler.

If a set of auxiliary contacts is not available, use a properly
sized contactor.  Wire the contactor's holding coil in parallel
with the air compressor starter holding coil.  Make the
necessary wiring connections from the contactor to the
aftercooler.

4.7-1 FAN MOTOR ROTATION

The rotation of the fan motor(s) is important.  Units with 3
phase power should be checked for proper rotation after
installation.

Energize the unit.  Observe the rotation and air flow direction.
Reference Section 3.2 for air flow direction.  If the fan(s) do
not pull the air across the core, turn off the unit and switch
two of the main power legs.

4.6 SEPARATOR INSTALLATION

   CAUTION

IF THE SEPARATOR DRAIN IS TO BE CONNECTED INTO A
REMOTE OR COMMON DRAIN LINE, MAKE SURE THAT IT IS
VENTED.

THE  DISCHARGE  FROM  THE  SEPARATOR  MAY  CONTAIN
COMPRESSOR  LUBRICANTS.    COMPLY  WITH  ALL
REGULATIONS  CONCERNING  DISPOSAL  OF  SUCH  FLUIDS.

When the system air is cooled by the aftercooler, moisture in
the compressed air condenses and accumulates in the outlet of
the aftercooler.  To efficiently remove this liquid from the air
system, a separator with an FD-1 float drain must be installed
immediately downstream of the aftercooler.

Install the separator as outlined in the Installation, Operation,
and Maintenance Instructions supplied with the component.  If
a separator was not ordered with the aftercooler, one can be
ordered from your VAN AIR distributor.
