General Specifications 
High pressure compressors are complete units for filling cylinders with compressed air at 225 bar (3200 psi) and
330 bar (4700 psi). They are mostly used for compressing breathing air for divers, fire brigades, military, paint ball
applications, etc.
Mistral is a 3 staged, piston, air cooled compressor with 3 cylinders, 2 intercoolers and 1 final aftercooler,
condensate separator after the second stage aftercooler, accompanied with automatic and manual drain, pressure
control in all stages of compression, with pressostat and mechanical safety valve as well as one filtering stage at the
final pressure (after the third stage):
The Final Filter (dehumidification) contains Molecular Sieve and air purification with Activated Carbon.
Installation - First start of the compressor 
All compressors are tested and pre-adjusted by the manufacturer before they are shipped to the buyer.
They can start their operation immediately on the following conditions that are considered necessary, for safety
and ease.
Anyone who will be handling the unit must read carefully all contents of this manual so as to have full knowledge of
the product.
1. Choose carefully the installation place of the compressor. The place must not be burdened by unfavorable
environmental conditions (toxic substances – explosives – fumes – dirt – debris etc.
2. Place the compressor in a well-ventilated area. Make sure that the intake air for the compressor is clean
and cool. Prevent the hot cooling air from recirculating to the cooling air intake. Make sure that foreign
objects cannot get into the compressor with the intake air. Make sure that the intake air does not contain
any smells, fuel or fumes, explosive or inflammable gases or harmful substances.
3. Turn the compressor using the fly-pulley and make sure it turns freely. Do the same after overhaul of the
unit or a long-term out of service period.
4. Check the rotation direction (follow the arrow) by pressing instantly the start-stop button. The same check
should be carried out after any service or reconnection of electrical supply.
5. Before any start of the compressor, check oil level. It should be between the minimum and maximum limit.
6. The compressor should be placed in a completely horizontal position. If during operation there are

ATTENTION
1. Check every day the oil level and the general condition of the compressor. Check all connections for leakage.
2. After 6 months, you have to replace the oil & BA filter cartridge, whether they have completed the required operating hours
or not. If the compressor is out of operation, you must also replace the oil before the winter season begins.
 The proper quantity of oil, when you replace it, is 400ml for M6 models and 500 ml for M8 models. Be careful to empty
the total quantity of used oil, otherwise the maximum oil indicator would be exceeded.
 Never mix different types of oil.
 The compressor unit is delivered filled with PARAMINA HPS OIL p.n.112001000 (Synthetic oil).
3. After 12 months, you have to replace coalescing cartridge and the air intake cartridge whether it has completed the required
operating hours or not.

Tapered Thread Port Assembly

The proper method of assembling tapered threaded connectors is to assemble them fingered tight and then
wrench tighten further to the specified number of turns from fingered tight (T.F.F.T.) given in Table.
Apply sealant/lubricant to male pipe threads, If PTFE tape is used it should be wrapped 1-1/2 to 2 turns in clockwise
direction when viewed from the pipe thread end.
Caution: big amount of tape may cause distortion or cracking of the port.
The total number of tapered threads engaged should be between 3-1/2 and 6.

3/8-19 3/8-18 2-3

Pipe connections (swivel nuts) should be fingered tight (T.F.F.T.) plus an additional ½-1 turn.
Note: A second wrench may be required to prevent the fitting from moving during assembly.
General:
 Always use new sealing ring – washer in reassembling works.
 Dirty male or female treads can destroy or crack the parts.
 Sealant/Lubricants assist in sealing and provide lubrication during assembly, reducing the potential for
galling. Pipe thread sealants are available in various forms such as dry pre-applied, tape, paste and
anaerobic liquid.
 We recommend observing the instructions for each block ‘Assembly Methodology’.
Trouble Shooting 
CAUTION
Before any maintenance work on the compressor, make sure there is not air inside, under pressure.
Every time you stop the compressor, ALWAYS open the manual drains so as to remove condensate.
Maintenance work on the compressor must always be done with the compressor stopped and disconnected from
the mains supply. Never forget to open the manual drains, after stopping the compressor.
Especially when you are planning to clean the solenoid valves (auto drains version), always turn off the main
electrical supply.
You must always have in mind, if you disconnect the coil of the solenoid valves, without turning off the electrical
supply, it will be destroyed immediately!!!

Condensate drainage
Automatic drain system
Max. operating pressure:

nd
 2 stage drain valve: 80 bar
rd
 3 stage drain valve: 250 or 350 bar
A. Option Two timers – Old Version:

nd
The system consists of two timer controlled condensate drains, one after the 2 , and one after the final stage and
the BA filter. The drains are controlled electronically and open automatically.
In case of emergency (damaged auto drain system), the user may use the two manual drains. During routine
nd rd
operation open both drain valves every 15 (2 stage) & 20 (3 – final stage) minutes.
2nd Stage 3rd Stage
1 2
1 2
The user can adjust the interval time (2) from 0,15 - The user can adjust the interval time (2) from 0,5 -
15 sec (proposed time 1,5sec), and the discharge 45 min (proposed time 20min), and the discharge
time (1) from 0,15 - 15 min (proposed time 15 time (1) from 0,5 - 10 sec (proposed time 2-3
min), sec).
nd
Note for 2 Stage drain only: The numerous at
internal time (2) are at a percentage of 15sec. So at
internal time (2) 1,5 sec = 10(%). Respectively the
numerous at discharge time (1) are at a percentage
of 15min, so 15min = 100(%)
B. Option One timer – New Versions:

nd rd
The system consists of one timer, located inside compressor’s electrical box. It controls electornically both 2 & 3
stage condensate drains, which open automatically.
In case of emergency (damaged auto drain system), the user may use the two manual drains. During routine
operation open both drain valves every 20 minutes.
Pause Time = 20 min
Signal Time = 2 – 3 seconds – set signal time first
Important Note: Do not change manufacturer adjustments.
