9. The Variable Speed Drive is equipped with a Safe Torque Off function, triggered by the
emergency stop button. The Safe Torque Off function has the immediate effect that the drive
can not supply any torque-generating energy. The drive is reliably torque-free. This state is
monitored internally in the drive.
The Safe Torque Off function does not disconnect the voltage of the main and auxiliary
circuits from the drive. Maintenance work on electrical parts of the drive or the motor can
only be carried out after isolating the drive system from the main supply!
10. If compressed air is used in the food industry and more specifically for direct food contact, it
is recommended, for optimal safety, to use certified Class 0 compressors in combination
with appropriate filtration depending on the application. Please contact your customer center
for advice on specific filtration.
1.3 Safety precautions during installation

All responsibility for any damage or injury resulting from neglecting these precautions, or
non observance of the normal caution and care required for installation, operation,
maintenance and repair, even if not expressly stated, will be disclaimed by the
manufacturer.
Precautions during installation

1. The machine must only be lifted using suitable equipment in accordance with the applicable

devices are fitted and that they function correctly. If removed, check that the coupling guard
of the compressor drive shaft has been reinstalled.
17. Every time the separator element is renewed, examine the discharge pipe and the inside of
the oil separator vessel for carbon deposits; if excessive, the deposits should be removed.
18. Protect the motor, air filter, electrical and regulating components, etc. to prevent moisture
from entering them, e.g. when steam cleaning.
19. Make sure that all sound-damping material and vibration dampers, e.g. damping material on
the bodywork and in the air inlet and outlet systems of the compressor, is in good condition.
If damaged, replace it by genuine material from the manufacturer to prevent the sound
pressure level from increasing.
20. Never use caustic solvents which can damage materials of the air net, e.g. polycarbonate
bowls.
21. Only if applicable, the following safety precautions are stressed when handling
refrigerant:
• Never inhale refrigerant vapors. Check that the working area is adequately ventilated; if
required, use breathing protection.
APF221384 9
Instruction book
• Always wear special gloves. In case of refrigerant contact with the skin, rinse the skin
with water. If liquid refrigerant contacts the skin through clothing, never tear off or
remove the latter; flush abundantly with fresh water over the clothing until all refrigerant
is flushed away; then seek medical first aid.
Also consult following safety precautions: Safety precautions during installation and
Safety precautions during operation.

2 General description
2.1 Introduction
General
General view
Description of G VSD compressors

G VSD (Variable Speed Drive) compressors are single-stage, oil-injected, air-cooled screw
compressors directly driven by an electric motor. The compressors deliver pulsation-free air. By
continuously matching the speed of the drive motor to the air net pressure, the compressor
optimizes energy consumption and reduces the operating pressure band.
The following features are available as an option:
SMARTBOX
When ordering the compressor, it is possible (except for Japan and Korea) to choose the free
SMARTBOX option which is mounted in the electrical cabinet. The SMARTBOX allows read-out
of the compressor parameters on a login-protected web site called SMARTLINK. The connected
antenna is mounted on the outside of the electrical cabinet. (Refer to the SMARTBOX and
SMARTLINK section.)

Position of components
Air flow
Air drawn through filter (AF) is compressed in compressor element (E). Compressed air and oil
are discharged through check valve (CV) to air receiver/oil separator (AR) where oil is separated
from the compressed air. The air is blown through minimum pressure valve (Vp) to air cooler
(Ca).
On Pack compressors, the cooled air is discharged through the condensate trap and the outlet
towards the air net.
Check valve (CV) prevents blow-back of compressed air.
Minimum pressure valve (Vp) prevents the receiver pressure from dropping below a minimum
pressure. The valve has a built-in check valve.
APF221384 13
Instruction book
Oil system
Air pressure forces the oil from receiver (AR) through oil cooler (Co), filters (OF) and oil stop
valve (Vs) to compressor element (E) and the lubrication points.
Oil stop valve (Vs) prevents the compressor elements from flooding with oil when the compressor
is stopped.
Valve (Bv) by-passes oil cooler (Co) when starting the compressor from a cold condition, so
ensuring rapid warming of the oil to normal working temperature.
In air receiver (AR) most of the oil is removed from the air centrifugally. Almost all of the
remaining oil is removed by the separator element.
2.3 Cooling and condensate system
Condensate drain system
Condensate drains
Reference Designation
Dac Automatic condensate drain, compressor
Dmc Manual condensate drain
A condensate trap is installed downstream of the air cooler to prevent condensate from entering
the air outlet pipe. The trap is provided with a WSD for automatically draining condensate and
with a manual drain valve.
This condensate can contain small amounts of oil and should be processed according to local
environmental legislation.
Cooling system
On air-cooled compressors, the air and oil coolers are cooled by fans.

Main functions
In general, the regulator has the following functions:
• Controlling the motor speed (Variable Speed Drive), reducing the power consumption and
pressure band.
• Controlling the speed of the fans of the coolers, reducing the power consumption and noise
level.
• Protecting the compressor.
• Monitoring components - service warning.
• Automatic restart after voltage failure.
Controlling the compressor speed - reducing power consumption and pressure band
VSD compressors optimize the power consumption and reduce the operating pressure band by
matching the motor speed to the air net pressure.
The regulator will continuously vary the motor speed maintaining the net pressure as close as
possible to the programmed pressure set-point. The pressure fluctuations will be very low.

Ref. Designation
(10) Indirect stop offset
If the motor is running at minimum speed and the net pressure rises to a value equal to the sum
of the programmed pressure set-point and the programmed indirect stop offset, the compressor
will stop.
When the net pressure drops, the regulator will calculate the optimum moment to restart the
compressor to avoid the net pressure decreasing below the pressure set-point (anticipated
starting).
Direct stopping
If the net pressure should rise to a value equal to the sum of the programmed pressure set-point
and the programmed direct stop offset, the compressor will be stopped immediately.
The regulator will calculate the optimum moment to restart the compressor.
3.2 Digital output contacts
Warning
Voltage-free outputs may only be used to control or monitor functional systems.

They should NOT be used to control, switch or interrupt safety related circuits.
Stop the compressor and switch off the supply before connecting external equipment.
Check the Safety precautions.
Connections for external equipment

The Elektronikon (Mk5) always comes with expansion module IO2 that has a number of digital
output contacts which can be used to connect external equipment.

(1) Install the compressor on a level floor suitable for taking its weight.
(2) Compressed air outlet valve (not in scope of supply).
(3) Delivery pipe:
The maximum pipe length can be calculated as follows:
L = (dp x d5 x p) / (450 x Qc1.85)
L = Length of pipe in m
dp = Pressure drop (recommended maximum = 0.1 bar)
d = Inner diameter of the outlet pipe in mm
p = Absolute pressure at the compressor outlet in bar(a)
Qc = Free air delivery of the compressor in l/s
The connection of the air delivery pipe is made on top of the main air net pipe in order
to minimize carry-over of possible condensate residue.
(4) Ventilation:
The inlet grid(s) and ventilation fan must be installed in such a way that any re-
circulation of cooling air to the compressor is avoided. The air velocity to the grid(s) has
to be limited to 5 m/s
The maximum allowable pressure drop over all cooling ducts together is 30 Pa
The maximum air temperature at the compressor intake opening is 46 °C (55 °C for
HAT version), minimum 0 °C
The required ventilation to limit the compressor room temperature can be calculated as
follows:
Qv = 0.1N / dT
Qv= Required ventilation capacity in m3/s
N = Shaft input of the compressor in kW
dT = Compressor room temperature over the outdoor temperature in °C
(5) Drain pipes to condensate collector. The drain pipes may not enter in the collector.
Individual drain pipes may not be interconnected to avoid interference

5.1 Initial start-up
Warning
The operator must apply all relevant Safety precautions.
Switch off the voltage before making any adjustment.
Outdoor/altitude operation
If the compressor is installed outdoors or if the air inlet temperature can be below freezing point,
precautions must be taken. In this case, and also if operating at high altitude, consult Atlas
Copco.
Moving/lifting
The compressor can be moved by a lift truck using the slots in the frame. Make sure that the
forks protrude from the other side of the frame. The compressor can also be lifted after inserting
beams in the slots. Make sure that the beams cannot slide and that they protrude from the frame
equally. The chains must be held parallel to the bodywork by chain spreaders in order not to
damage the compressor. The lifting equipment must be placed in such a way that the
compressor is lifted perpendicularly. Lift gently and avoid twisting.
General preparations
Step Action
1 Install the compressor, see the sections Dimension drawing, Installation proposal and
Main fuses and supply cables.
2 Stick labels near the control panel to warn the operator that:
• the compressor may start automatically after a voltage failure
• the compressor is automatically started and stopped
• the compressor may be remotely controlled
3 A number of VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) plates are provided inside the bodywork to
protect the compressor against corrosion. Remove the plates.
4 If the compressor has not run for the past 6 months, it is required to improve the
lubrication of the compressor element before starting. Fill up the compressor element as
described in section Oil change (paragraph: Filling the compressor element with oil).
5 Check that the compressor is filled with oil; the pointer of the oil level indicator should be
in the green range (see the section Oil change).
