3.2 Connections
This section covers important instructions which you need to
observe in order to safely connect the compressor to the com-
pressed air system as well as the electrical supply.
Warning!
Before connecting the machine to the compressed air system,
all conduits and hose connections inside the compressor must
be checked and, if necessary, retraced.
For plants with pressure tanks, an acceptance check of the air
collection tank must be made by a compressed air tank expert
before commissioning.
Start an inspection log!
A Compressed air connection
The system has all the required conduits and is ready for opera-
tion.
The following must be observed when connecting to the com-
pressed air system:
Key word
Ensure that
Pressure
•
Suitable screws and conduits are used for
the operating pressure
•
The end pressure of the system is not
higher than stated on the rating plate.
•
A non-return valve between the machine
and the compressed air system is not
required as it has already been integrated
in the machine.
Connection
•
Connect the system without voltage and
isolated against vibrations to the com-
pressed air system e.g. by using a flexible
hose
Shut-off valve
•
The additional installation of a shut-off
valve is recommended to facilitate
maintenance tasks at the compressor
without de-pressurising the compressed
air system.
Condensate
•
An automatic steam trap can be integrat-
ed behind the after cooler for improved
condensate separation from the com-
pressed air
