SAFETY PRECAUTIONS TO BE FOLLOWED WHEN USING STATIONARY COMPRESSORS
READ CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING UP THE UNIT.

Besides the normal safety regulations which must be observed when using stationary air compressors, the following
instructions and precautions are particularly important.
When using this unit the operator must comply with the local standards and regulations on safety at work.
The owner is responsible for ensuring that the compressor is kept in conditions that enable it to operate in absolute
safety. The compressor parts and accessories must be replaced if they do not guarantee safe operation.
Installation, operation, maintenance and repairs must be carried out only by authorised, trained and competent
personnel.
Critical operation data (pressure, temperatures, time intervals, etc.) must be indelibly marked and kept in legible
conditions.
If any provisions listed in this manual, especially regarding safety, do not comply with the local legislation, the
applicable one is the more restrictive of the two.
The precautions listed here are of a general nature and refer to many types of compressors and their respective
equipment, so some rules may not apply to the unit for which this manual is specifically intended.
INSTALLATION
Besides the general technical practice , which must comply with the regulation s enforced by the local authorities ,
particular attention is drawn to the following instructions:
1. Install the compressor in premises where the environmental air is as cold and clean as possible. If necessary fit an
intake duct. Never block the air inlet. Take care to allow as little humidity as possible to be taken in with the air.
2. The air taken in must be free from fumes or inflammable vapours, for example paint solvents, which could cause
fire or internal explosions.
3. Air-cooled compressors must be installed where there is a sufficient flow of cooling air, preventing the expelled
air from being recycled at input.
4. If a system includes several compressors, each one of these must be provided with manual cut-out valves. It is
absolutely forbidden to rely on the check valves to isolate each system under pressure.
5. Never remove or tamper with the safety devices, the protections or insulating materials applied on the compressor.
Each pressurised tank or auxiliary unit, installed outside the main unit and containing air at a higher pressure than
the environmental air, must be protected with one or more pressure discharge devices.
6. The electrical connections must comply with the local regulations. The units must be connected to earth and
protected against short circuits with fuses.
OPERATION
1. The flexible pipes for distributing compressed air must have adequate dimensions and must be suitable for the
working pressure. Never use flexible pipes that are worn, damaged or deteriorated. As regards couplings and
connections, use only the correct type and size. When feeding compressed air into a flexible pipe or an air line,
ensure that the free end of the pipe is securely fastened. A free end will give "whip lashes" and could cause
injury to people in the vicinity. Never play with compressed air. Never turn the jet of air against your own
body or anyone else's. Never use compressed air to remove dust from clothing. If using it to clean equipment,
take great care and wear protective goggles. Never inhale compressed air, if you are not sure that it has been
suitably purified for this purpose.
2. Never operate the compressor in places where there is a possibility of its taking in inflammable or toxic fumes.
3. Never run the unit at pressures lower or higher than the set limits indicated in the table of the Technical Data.
4. All parts of the casing must be closed when the unit is working.
5. All persons in a compressor room, where the noise level exceeds 90 dB(A), must protect their ears with
special ear muffs.

MAINTENANCE
Maintenance and repairs must be carried out only by sufficiently trained personnel, under the supervision of a
technician qualified to do the job.
1) Use only suitable tools for performing maintenance and repairs.
2) Use only original spare parts.
3) All maintenance jobs that are not routine supervision must be started only when the compressor is at a standstill.
Ensure that the unit cannot be started accidentally.
4) Before removing any component under pressure, efficiently isolate the unit from any source of pressure and
discharge pressure from the whole system.
5) Never use inflammable solvents or carbon tetrachloride to clean the parts. Take the necessary safety precautions
against the toxic vapours of fluids used for cleaning purposes.
6) Observe the strictest standards of cleanliness during maintenance and repair jobs. Protect the parts against dirt,
keeping them covered, and plug the openings with clean rags, paper or covers.
7) Never perform welding, or other operations that require heat, near the oil system. In particular the oil tanks must
be completely cleaned before these operations can be carried out on them, for example by washing them with
steam.
8) Never perform welding or make alterations of any kind on tanks under pressure. Ensure that no tools, loose parts
or cloths are left lying on the compressor, on the motor or on the moving parts.
9) Before leaving the unit to be started up after maintenance or overhauling, check that the pressures, the
temperatures and the settings are correct and that the control devices and safety stops work correctly.
10) Protect the motor, the electric parts and the regulation system components, etc. against infiltration of humidity, for
example when cleaning the unit with steam.
11) Maintain the noise level as specified. never remove sound-deadening material from the panels.
12) Never use caustic solvents or synthetic oils which may damage the materials used in the air system, for example
transparent polycarbonate containers.
13) When handling refrigerating substances, R22, R12, etc., the following safety precautions must be taken:
a. Do not inhale the refrigerant vapours. Ensure that the area where you are working is sufficiently ventilated.
b. Always wear special gloves. If any splashes of refrigerating substance get on your skin, wash immediately
with water. For no reason should you work on the machine without protective garments.
c. Always wear safety goggles.

UNPACKING

INSTALLATION
• Position the machine in a stable and final manner. Make sure it is at least 50 cm away from the wall so that there is
free access of air to the fan (fig.6).
Do not fit check valve between the compressor and the tank.
Fig. 5
Fig. 6
If there is a possibility of the room falling below 0°C, fit heating resistance for the oil tank
WARM AIR DUCTING

• Hot air comes out from the side of the compressor at a temperature 15-35°C higher than the room temperature.
• If the room ventilation is not enough (door / window opening see technical features), a duct having the same cross-
section as the radiator area is absolutely necessary .This duct should be equipped with a valve conveying the hot air
outside in summertime and inside in wintertime, thus using the "VE" compressors heat energy as auxiliary heating unit.
These ducts should not be longer than 1/2 m without bend. Otherwise, an auxiliary fan should be
installed on the outlet side (fig.4).
Condensate is a polluting mixture and should not be disposed of in sewage system or dumped in the
environment. The condensate collector sump should either be equipped with a valve and a removable
container or connected to a suitable piece of equipment.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS.
• The mains cable should have a cross-section suitable for the machine power and should include: three phase cable plus
earth for “VE” models.
• A fused switch (C) or an automatic switch with current differential device set at 30 mA is absolutely necessary to fit
before the compressor control panel (fig.5/6).
• The switch (C) should be easily reached by the operator (fig.5/6).
The cables should be of the approved type A and installed with the following grade of protection:
minimum IP44.
Note: see page 20 for the right cable cross-section.

BEFORE FIRST STARTING
Before starting compressor for the first time it is compulsory to make sure that:
• Incoming voltage is the same as indicated on the number plate.
• All external connection be made with cable of adequate size and type.
• Main automatic switch (on the wall) be of correct type and size.
• Oil level be correct (eventually top up with same type oil).
• Check and tighten all electrical connections.
An adequate size air receiver must be connected by using flexible pipes. Before the first starting up or after a long time
of non usage of the compressor pour 0.25 litre of oil into the suction of the air end after removing air filter ref. 1 (this
quantity of oil is better to take it from the oil receiver of compressor itself)
FIRST START UP
• The first start up of screw compressor package (commissioning) must be done compulsory by our authorised service
technician. *
• Although models "VE" have a safety device to protect them from wrong rotation it is advisable during first
starting up to make sure it is in the correct direction in order to avoid damages that can be very serious.
• Open the door to be able to see the rotation of air end it self.
•Push start button and after a few second push emergency button in order to stop immediately the compressor. During
this time it must be noted if the rotation of compressor is in accordance with the arrows on air end.
• In case the compressor rotates in the wrong direction (not in accordance with arrows). Remove voltage (locking the
main switch) and exchange two incoming phases.
• Put voltage back and re-start compressor checking through the open door that the rotation of air end is according to
arrows.
• Close the door properly.
AFTER ABOUT 50 HOURS OF OPERATION IT IS COMPULSORY TO CHECK AND EVENTUALLY

RE-TIGHT THE BELTS AND ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
IN CASE OF SUBSTITUTION OF ELECTRIC MOTOR OR IN CASE COMPRESSOR IS CHANGED OF

LOCATION, IT IS IMPERATIVE TO CHECK THE ROTATION OF AIR END AS ABOVE DESCRIBED
BEFORE RESTARTING THE COMPRESSOR
Already during this phase it is compulsory to follow very carefully the SAFETY INFORMATION on the usage of the
compressor.
* = If the technician fill up the (R.C.R.) registration and commissioning report copy of which you can find at page 23
of this manual the possibility of a safer and more efficient operation of compressor unit are increased and eventual
warranty communications and decision will be more prompt.

ELECTRIC PANEL
Compressor starts by pressing the start button. Once started, after a few seconds in star connection it changes over
into delta connection (load/off load solenoid valve energises) and start pumping. When max operating pressure set is
reached compressor goes off load (load/off load solenoid valve de-energises).
If compressor works off load for too long it stops. The compressor is ready to start as soon as pressure in the system
has reached the minimum re-set value of the pressure switch.
On the display below is indicated the operating pressure and on the display above the operating temperature (oil/air
mixture temperature at air end discharge flange).
Compressor stops by pressing the stop button after a settable off load time.
If emergency stop is pushed compressor will stop immediately and specific led will be lighted.
If there is a power failure, the compressor will stop immediately too, and when the power is restored compressor will
start automatically on a certainly delay time to prevent starty against load (ATTENTION! AUTOMATIC RESTART
UNIT).
The manual of the electronic controller is attached at the end of this manual.

open, the suction control valve ref.2 is closed.
• Compressor starts in these condition for a few seconds .
• After some time motor change into "delta" connection, the solenoid valve ref.5 is energised, and opening the suction
valve the compressor can start pumping.
During this phase the compressor pumps air into air/oil receiver ref. 11.
• Compressed air cannot go out through the minimum pressure valve ref.16 until the pressure has not reached 3÷4 bar.
• The air pressure inside the air/oil receiver ref. 11 makes the oil to go through various pipes to the oil thermostatic
valve, oil cooler to air end.
• If operating temperature is below 71°C the oil coming from the oil receiver goes through oil thermostatic valve, oil
filter, the air end.
• If operating temperature is above 71°C the oil coming from the oil receiver is deviated by the thermostatic valve into
the oil cooler and then going through oil filter to the air end.
• The oil that reaches the air end is mixed with air during the compression making thus an air/oil mixture that
lubricates seal and cools all moving parts during compression.
• Air/oil mixture is then pushed into the air/oil receiver where it happens a first mechanical pre-separation of air from
oil and subsequently a final fine separation into the air/oil separator cartridge.
• From minimum pressure valve ref.16 goes out then only air which goes through the after-cooler ref.22 and
subsequently goes to the air receiver directly .
• The oil collected after the air/oil separator cartridge return into the air end by the scavenge line ref.34.
The water condensate will accumulated inside the air receiver and must be drained manually every day ref.36 or
automatically if a proper drainer is fitted.
