Condensate disposal
Condensate cannot be discharged into fresh/surface
water drains. In some regions compressor condensate
containing ULTRA COOLANT can be fed directly into a
drainage system that has downstream sewage
treatment.
As waste water regulations vary by country and region
it is the responsibility of the user to establish the
limitations and regulations in their particular area.
Ingersoll–Rand and its associated distributors are
happy to advise and assist in these matters.
Coolant disposal
Steps to be taken in the case of spillage: Soak up with
a suitable absorbent material, then sweep into a plastic
bag for disposal.
Burn in an approved incinerator, or according to local
area or country regulations.

FOOD GRADE COOLANT Material Data Sheets
IRACA145 or APDD190.
WARNING
This compressor contains a variable frequency drive. When it is switched off and the motor is stopped, the
internal capacitors store a potentialy lethal high voltage. DO NOT REMOVE THE DRIVE COVER or attempt
any work on the drive unless trained. There are no user serviceable items behind the cover.
WARNING
There is a high discharge air temperature shutdown function built into each compressor. lt is factory preset
at 109
_
C (228
_
F).This function should be checked at regular intervals for proper operation, once a month is
recommended. Refer to maintenance section.
Failure to adhere to these recommendations can result in mechanical failure,property damage and serious
injury or death.
S
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.
S
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.
S
It is the responsibility of the installer and owner to provide the appropriate service pipework to and from
the machine.
WARNING
“Ingersoll–Rand air compressors are not designed, intended, or approved for breathing air applications.
Ingersoll–Rand does not approve specialized equipment for breathing air application and assumes no
responsibility or liability for compressors used for breathing air services.”
WARNING
No portable communication devices emitting more than 7.5 volts per metre in the frequency range from 250
MHz to 280 MHz should be operated within 5m (16.5ft) of the unit.
WARNING
The motor rotor contains a powerful magnetic field. This field can effect the operation of digital devices such
as watches, mobile phones etc. Assembly or handling of the rotor should not be attempted by personnel with
cardiac pacemakers, defibrillators or other implanted electronic medical device.
WARNING
The specification of this machine is such that the machine is not suitable for use in flammable gas risk areas.
If such an application is required then all local regulations, codes of practice and site rules must be observed.
To ensure that the machine can operate in a safe and reliable manner, additional equipment such as gas
detection and intake (shut–off) valves may be required, dependant on local regulations or the degree of risk
involved.
WARNING
The compressor can operate in a pressurized shutdown mode. If the compressor stops automatically, the
airend, separator tank and oil system can contain high pressure air. This can be relieved by pressing the
emergency stop button and can be verified by unscrewing the coolant fill plug which has a vent hole through
which any residual pressure will be vented. Downstream of the separator tank may still contain system
pressure which must also be vented.
