NOTICE!
Do not install and operate compressor if the ambient temperature is below
2°C (35°F). Severe ambient modifications must be installed with the unit for
lower ambient temperatures.
The compressor air inlet must be located in the opposite direction to other compressors or
heat generating equipment. The object is to avoid hot air being drawn into the system. Do
not block the exhaust air from cooler or fan. Hot exhaust air must be vented outside through
a duct to prevent high ambient room temperature. The compressor room must be properly
ventilated to avoid compressor high temperature shutdown.
Maintain clean & fresh air, dust free, metal particle free and chemical vapor
free in the compressor’s room. Housing the compressor within a poorly
ventilated enclosure will cause higher operating temperature.
Under no circumstances should a compressor be installed in an area exposed to
toxic, volatile or corrosive atmosphere, nor should toxic, volatile or corrosive
agents be stored near the compressor.
All models are intended for indoor installation; however, it is possible, with certain
modifications, to accommodate some outdoor locations. Models with standard enclosure
are water-resistant but not water tight. Shelter is needed to protect the unit from rain, snow
and freezing temperatures. An optional weather hood or air grille could be installed to
protect compressor against blowing rain and snow as well as cabinet heater additions if
ambient temperature will be below 2°C (35 F).
4.3 PIPING CONNECTION
Before installation, review the complete air systems layout, which includes compressor(s),
receiver tank, dryer(s), line filter(s), pipe size, water drain and isolator valves. Never join
pipes or fittings by soldering. Never use PVC pipe or non-genuine rubber hose in the air
system. Use flexible connections to prevent pipe load from being transmitted to the
compressor. Never use a different pipe size other than the manufacturer specification for
the compressor unit.
