Do not merge the air compressor’s condensate
drain lines (for the aftercooler, intercooler, control
line filter) into one common piping. Do not merge
any condensate drain line into an external condensate
drain line (for example, do not merge a air compressor
condensate drain line with a condensate drain line
on an air receiver tank). This could generate a
pressure differential, which could result in no
draining or inconsistent draining out of the air
compressor. Capability to observe the draining of
the air compressor is also impaired.
IMPORTANT
Un-drained condensate can backflow to the air
compressor and cause a failure.

3. INSTALLING AND PIPING THE DSP [Ventilation of air compressor room]

3.5 Ventilation of air compressor room


IMPORTANT
Provide a ventilating system to the air compressor room in the event that the room temperature exceeds the allowable ambient
operating temperature of 45℃. Operating the air compressor at an ambient operating temperature above 45℃ may cause a
serious problem.

CONSIDERATION
● Stop the ventilating fan when the air compressor has stopped.
● The ventilating fan should be running while the air compressor is operating. If the ventilating fan is not running, the loss of air
flow may reduce the performance of the cooler.
● The duct should be detachable for ease of maintenance on the air compressor.

3. INSTALLING AND PIPING THE DSP [Wiring]

3.6 Wiring

WARNING
1. Always use a licensed electrician. Do not allow an unlicensed person to wire the compressor. An
unlicensed person may wire the air compressor wrongly, and a wrong wiring may cause an electric shock.
2. Do not remove any protective relays on the air compressor. Also, do not make a modification of the
control circuit that may result in impairing the protective relay's function. Remember that the loss of
the protective relay's function may cause serious damage to the air compressor such as a burning of
the airend. In the event that you need to modify the control circuit, contact your distributor.
3. Before opening the control panel to service or wire the air compressor, disconnect the power;
otherwise you may receive an electric shock. In case that the air compressor has the variable speed
drive, such as controller or fan inverter, the variable speed drive are still charged when the power is
disconnected. Be sure to wait approximately 10 minutes after power-off so that each variable speed
drive discharges electricity before starting the procedure. In addition, attach a notice on the power
supply stating “Under the maintenance work. Keep the switch off.” to prevent someone from
carelessly turning the switch on.

3.6.1 Power supply equipment


The supplied voltage during air compressor operating To keep a starting voltage drop within an allowable

IMPORTANT
1. Maintain the pressure of a control air at the regulator setting value or more. If a control air pressure of this level cannot be
obtained, the ejector cannot operate and as a result, the gear case internal pressure rises.
When the gear case internal pressure reaches approximately 20 mmH2O, the OMR relief valve opens to atmosphere to prevent
excessive rise. This results in the venting of oil fume to atmosphere. Therefore, if a control pressure cannot be maintained at
the regulator setting, value, take precautions to keep the air compressor from inhaling the oil fume back into the air intake.
2. If two or more air compressors are in parallel, the system may force a specific unit to unload for a long period of time. The
unloaded air compressors oil mist remover ejector may seldom operate, thus opening its OMR relief valve frequently and
venting oil mists to atmosphere. To solve this problem, connect the unloaded air compressors control air pipe to an area in the
plant air piping system where pressure is consistently available, minimizing the amount of time the OMR relief valve opens.
3. The OMR relief valve shortly opens when the air compressor starts and stops, even when control air pressure is high. After
repeated starts and stops, the OMR relief valve may ooze a slight amount of oil. This is not unusual.
4. The oil mist remover consumes compressed air of approximately the value indicated above table. The exact air consumption
depends on the setting of the regulator.
5. Take precautions if the air compressor is used in AUTO operation mode, as the air compressor may not stop automatically, due
to the uninterrupted consumption of the compressed air by the oil mist remover.

5. OPERATION PROCEDURE [Daily operation of compressor]

5.3 Daily operation of compressor

CAUTION
● When using the air compressor, do not raise the discharge pressure excessively. Operating the air
compressor over the rated pressure can result in main motor overload, shutdown of the airend and/
or damage of parts.
● If the air relief valve has blown or a protective device has shutdown the air compressor, investigate
the cause of and take corrective action. If there are any questions or comments in taking these
actions, contact the local HITACHI distributor/master dealer or representative office.

WARNING
The dryer uses non-flammable, non-toxic, and odorless refrigerant (chlorofluorocarbon R-410A).
However, if chlorofluorocarbon leaks from the product and contacts fire, toxic gas is generated and
causes irritation to the eye and the throat. In addition, chlorofluorocarbon, being heavier than air, may
accumulate over the floor, which may lead to oxygen deficiency. Therefore if chlorofluorocarbon leaks,
extinguish fire and ventilate the room as sweeping the floor. After that, contact the local HITACHI
distributor/master dealer or representative office.

7. MAINTENANCE

CAUTION
● Always use licensed technicians for servicing.
● Before servicing the air compressor, carefully read “1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS”.
● Before servicing, disconnect the power to prevent an electric shock.
● The inverter is still live immediately after disconnecting the power. Before servicing the instrument/
control panel, verify that the inverter’s charge indicators are off or wait 10 minutes after disconnecting
the power. ( )
● Before removing or disassembling any parts on the air compressor, stop it, disconnect the power and
make sure that the internal pressure of the air compressor has dropped to atmospheric pressure to
prevent high pressure air from blowing off and causing injury. Special attention shall be paid to the
piping between the compressor check valve and stop valve located in the air discharge piping.

DANGER
Contact the local HITACHI distributor/master dealer or representative office for the repair or disassembly.
Repair and disassembly work shall be performed by licensed technician to avoid the electric shock, injury
and/or fire.

Keep the magnetic rotor from a person with electronic medical equipment, such as a pacemaker.
The medical equipment may malfunction, which may lead to a fatal danger to the person.
Do not connect the motor with anything other than a dedicated controller to avoid the electric shock, injury
and/or fire.

CAUTION
A very strong magnetic force of attraction or repelling is generated between the magnetic rotor and the
other magnet rotors, magnets, iron pieces or iron tools.
Be careful extremely when handling the magnetic rotor. You may get your hand caught in during rotor
assembly work or lose a balance because of attraction or repelling force, which may cause an accident
and/or injury.

Magnets attract iron chips or other metal particles easily. Be very careful for handling.
Using the magnetic rotor with particles may cause a failure.

Do not bring the magnetic rotor close to an electronic device, such as PC board, touch panel.
It may cause a failure of electric device.

Do not bring the magnetic rotor to a magnetic tape, computer diskette, prepaid card, ticket, electronic

8. CAUTIONS FOR A LONG TERM OPERATION SUSPENSION
If the air compressor is not operated for a week or
more, use the STOP button when the air
compressor is stopped. Press STOP button
(only at once). The air compressor unloads for 5
minutes and automatically stops after the airend
and the piping are dried.
IMPORTANT
Unloading the compressor prior to stopping enables
moisture in the second stage airend to be removed.
Drying out the inside of the compressor is an effective
way to prevent rust from developing in the 2-stage
compressor when unused for an extended period of time.

Ensure to disconnect the power if the air


compressor is not operated.

Run the air compressor once a week and follow


the procedure.
When the air compressor is restarted, refer to the
“5.1 Startup operation”.

IMPORTANT
● If the air compressor can’t be operated weekly, rust prevented action and periodical inspection is required. Contact the local
HITACHI distributor/master dealer or representative office for the detail.
● Without this procedure, if the air compressor is stops for a week or more without taking action described in this page, serious
damage for the airend may occur due to the lack of lubrication or airend internal rusting.

95
9. RELOCATION AND DISPOSAL

9.1 Relocation
To relocate the product, contact the local HITACHI distributor/master dealer or representative office. Note in
particular that you need to replace the parts to relocate the air compressor ( ) from a 50 Hz area to a 60 Hz
area, and vice versa. Otherwise, the air compressor cannot be operated at the relocation site. Operating the air
compressor without parts replacement may cause failure of the air compressor.

9.2 Disposal
To dispose of the air compressor after long use, be sure to drain lubricating oil. It is dangerous if lubricating oil
leaks to the outside for some reason from a disposed air compressor. Contact the local HITACHI distributor/
master dealer or representative office.

● Disposal procedure of the DCBL motor


Before disposing the DCBL motor, magnetic rotor shall be heated to higher than 500℃ to demagnetize by the
equipment, such as gas burner or heating furnace.
Dispose the DCBL motor properly in accordance with your local government disposal regulations.

WARNING
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.

9.3 Recovery of fluorocarbons


Follow the each local law and/or regulation. Contact the local HITACHI distributor/master dealer or representative
office for the detail.
