The installation of the compressor unit and all operations involving it must be performed in conformity with the
regulations in force concerning electric plants and personal safety.
BEFORE REMOVING THE PROTECTIVE GUARDS TO CARRY OUT ANY MAINTENANCE ON THE
MACHINE, SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY AND DISCHARGE THE RESIDUAL PRESSURE
INSIDE THE UNIT.
ALL WORK ON THE ELECTRIC PLANT, HOWEVER SLIGHT, MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY
PROFESSIONALLY SKILLED PERSONNEL.
THIS MACHINE CORRESPOND TO THE ESSENTIAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FORESEEN FROM THE
EUROPEAN STANDARD (2006/42 CE).
THE LUBRICATING LIQUIDS AND OTHER EVENTUAL FLUIDS MUST NOT BE DISCHARGED IN THE
ENVIRONMENT. THESE POLLUTING AND HAZARDOUS PRODUCTS MUST COMPULSORY BE DISPOSED BY
CHARGING AUTHORISED AND SPECIALISED FIRMS ACCORDING TO THE DIFFERENT TYPOLOGY OF
PRODUCT.
The manufacturer does not accept responsibility for damage caused as a result of negligence or failure to abide by the
instructions given above.
NOT RESPECTING THE ABOVE MENTIONED PRESCRIPTION CAN RESULT IN AIR RECEIVER
BURSTING HAZARD.
The manufacturer does not accept responsibility for damage caused as a result of negligence or failure to abide by the
instructions given above.
The compressor units use single-stage screw rotary air compressors with oil injection.
The system is self-bearing and does not require bolts or other devices to anchor it to the floor.
The unit is completely assembled in the factory; the necessary connections for setting it up are:
connection to the power mains (see installation chapter)
connection to the compressed air network (see installation chapter)
3.0 OPERATION
3.1 OPERATION FOR COMPRESSOR
The electric motor and the compressor unit are coupled by means of a belt transmission.
The compressor unit takes in the outside air through the suction valve. The intake air is filtered by the filter cartridge fitted
upstream from the intake valve. Inside the compressor unit, the air and the lubricating oil are compressed and sent to the
oil separating tank where the oil is separated from the compressed air; the air is then filtered again by the oil separating
cartridge to reduce the amount of suspended oil particles to a minimum. The machine is fitted with a suitable air-cooling
system.
The machine is protected by a special safety thermostat: if the oil temperature reaches 105 ÷ 110 °C (221 ÷ 230 °F )the
machine cuts out automatically.
3.2 OPERATION FOR DRYER
At the moment of use the air flows from the tank to the drier and is then dried and sent to the distribution network. Dryer
operation is described below.
The gaseous refrigerant coming from the evaporator (4) is sucked by the refrigeration compressor (1) and it is pumped
into the condenser (2). This one allows its condensation, eventually with the help of the fan (3); the condensed refrigerant
passes through the dewatering filter (8) and it expands through the capillary tube (7) and goes back to the evaporator
where it produces the refrigerating effect.
Due to the heat exchange with the compressed air which passes through the evaporator against the stream, the
refrigerant evaporates and goes back to the compressor for a new cycle.
The circuit is equipped with a bypass system for the refrigerant; this intervenes to adjust the available refrigerating
capacity to the actual cooling load.
This is achieved by injecting hot gas under the control of the valve (9): this valve keeps constant the pressure of the
refrigerant in the evaporator and therefore also the dew point never decreases below 0 °C (32 °F) in order to prevent the
condensate from freezing inside the evaporator.
The drier runs completely automatically; it is calibrated in the factory for a dew point of ~ 3 °C (37,4 °F) and therefore no
further calibrations are required.

DISCONNECT IT FROM THE POWER MAINS AND FROM THE COMPRESSED AIR DISTRIBUTION NETWORK.
Oil changing is an important operation for the compressor:
if the lubrication of the bearings is not efficient, the compressor life will be short.
The oil must be changed when the machine is still warm, that is immediately after stopping it.
The suggestions listed below should be scrupulously followed.
After draining the old oil out of the machine Ref. 1 Fig. 25.
- Fill the oil manifold Ref. 2 Fig. 25 up to the level mark
- Close all the protections (cover and front protection)
- Start the compressor.
- After about 1 minute switch off the machine, turning in “OFF” (Ref. 3 Fig. 25).
PROCEED AS DESCRIBED AT CHAPTER 15.3
FIG. 25
THE OLD OIL MUST BE DISPOSED OF IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE REGULATIONS IN FORCE.
NOTE ON LUBRICANTS
When delivered the machine is filled with oil.
In normal conditions of use, these lubricants have proved to be able to withstand use for as many as 4.000 hours.
However, due to the external polluting agents that get into the compressor with the air that it takes in, it is advisable to
change the oil at more frequent intervals, as indicated on the routine maintenance chart.
If the compressor is being used at high temperatures (continuous operation above 90 °C - 194 °F) or in particularly
severe conditions, we advise changing the oil at shorter intervals than those recommended in the maintenance chart.
OIL SPECIFICATIONS:
Mineral oil
Although Rotair is strongly recommended, mineral oil can be used after taking following precautions:
- The previously used oil should first be drained and the system flushed
- The oil filter and oil separator should be replaced
- The oil must meet the requirements as specified below
Properties: high-quality, mineral oil with oxidation inhibitors and anti-foam and anti-wear properties. The viscosity grade
must correspond to the ambient temperature and ISO 3448, as follows:
We recommend GAOK cleaner when switching to a mineral oil. (5-gal pail part #1310250946)

IMPORTANT: Be sure to remove electrical power to the unit before performing this voltage
conversion.
The standard voltage configuration for the compressor is mentioned on the data plate of the machine. To convert the
operating voltage of the compressor for either 200V or 230V or 460V operation, the following simple modifications must
be performed.
Key
Required Modifications:
1. Adjust the motor overload (OL) setting.
2. Rewire the control power transformer (T).
3. Replace the control power fuses (FU1) with the KTK-1 / KTK 1/2 fuses provided.
4. Modifiy the terminal bridge configuration for the desired voltage.
5. Replace the “VOLTAGE” sticker with the appropriate voltage sticker provided.
To adjust the motor overload (OL) setting, simply rotate the adjustment screw on the face of the overload to the required
setting (see table below).
Overload (OL) 10 HP 15 HP
Settings 7,5 kW 11 kW
Adjustment Screw 200-208V 36.3 48
230V 34.4 45
460V 16.9 22.5
To rewire the control power transformer (T), remove the wire connected to the transformer terminal marked “460” and
move the wire to the terminal marked with the desired voltage (200V or 230V).
The two fuses marked FU1 are easily replaced by opening the fuseholder and replacing the fuses with the KTK-1 fuses
supplied with the compressor.
