5.0 SAFETY
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.
Please see the coolant material safety data sheet for
further information. Material safety data sheets can be
obtained from your local
Ingersoll Rand
distributor.
WARNING
For VSD, this compressor contains a variable frequency drive. When it is switched off and the motor is stopped,
the internal capacitors store a potentially 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.
There is a high discharge air temperature shutdown function built into each compressor. It is factory preset
at 109 °C (228° F). This function should be checked at regular intervals for proper operation, twice a year is
recommended. Refer to maintenance section.
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 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.
“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.”
For VSD, 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.
For VSD, 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.
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.
For VSD, 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.
