strictly forbidden to dwell or stay in the risk zone under a lifted load. Lifting acceleration and
deceleration must be kept within safe limits. Wear a safety helmet when working in the area
of overhead or lifting equipment.
2. The unit is designed for indoor use. If the unit is installed outdoors, special precautions must
be taken; consult your supplier.
3. In case the device is a compressor, place the machine where the ambient air is as cool and
clean as possible. If necessary, install a suction duct. Never obstruct the air inlet. Care must
be taken to minimize the entry of moisture at the inlet air.
4. Any blanking flanges, plugs, caps and desiccant bags must be removed before connecting
the pipes.
5. Air hoses must be of correct size and suitable for the working pressure. Never use frayed,
damaged or worn hoses. Distribution pipes and connections must be of the correct size and
suitable for the working pressure.
6. In case the device is a compressor, the aspirated air must be free of flammable fumes,
vapors and particles, e.g. paint solvents, that can lead to internal fire or explosion.
7. In case the device is a compressor, arrange the air intake so that loose clothing worn by
people cannot be drawn in.
8. Ensure that the discharge pipe from the compressor to the aftercooler or air net is free to
expand under heat and that it is not in contact with or close to flammable materials.
9. No external force may be exerted on the air outlet valve; the connected pipe must be free of
strain.
10. If remote control is installed, the machine must bear a clear sign stating: DANGER: This
machine is remotely controlled and may start without warning.
The operator has to make sure that the machine is stopped and depressurized and that the
electrical isolating switch is open, locked and labelled with a temporary warning before any
maintenance or repair. As a further safeguard, persons switching on or off remotely
controlled machines shall take adequate precautions to ensure that there is no one checking
or working on the machine. To this end, a suitable notice shall be affixed to the start
equipment.
11. Air-cooled machines must be installed in such a way that an adequate flow of cooling air is
available and that the exhausted air does not recirculate to the compressor air inlet or
cooling air inlet.
12. The electrical connections must correspond to the applicable codes. The machines must be
earthed and protected against short circuits by fuses in all phases. A lockable power
isolating switch must be installed near the compressor.
13. On machines with automatic start/stop system or if the automatic restart function after
voltage failure is activated, a sign stating "This machine may start without warning" must be
affixed near the instrument panel.

14. In multiple compressor systems, manual valves must be installed to isolate each
compressor. Non-return valves (check valves) must not be relied upon for isolating pressure
systems.
15. Never remove or tamper with the safety devices, guards or insulation fitted on the machine.
Every pressure vessel or auxiliary installed outside the machine to contain air above
atmospheric pressure must be protected by a pressure relieving device or devices as
required.
16. Piping or other parts with a temperature in excess of 70˚C (158˚F) and which may be
accidentally touched by personnel in normal operation must be guarded or insulated. Other
high temperature piping must be clearly marked.
17. For water-cooled machines, the cooling water system installed outside the machine has to
be protected by a safety device with set pressure according to the maximum cooling water
inlet pressure.
18. If the ground is not level or can be subject to variable inclination, consult the manufacturer.
19. If the device is a dryer and no free extinguishing system is present in the air net close to the
dryer, safety valves must be installed in the vessels of the dryer.

Also consult following safety precautions: Safety precautions during operation and
Safety precautions during maintenance.
These precautions apply to machinery processing or consuming air or inert gas.

Instruction book

6. Persons switching on remotely controlled machines shall take adequate precautions to

ensure that there is no one checking or working on the machine. To this end, a suitable
notice shall be affixed to the remote start equipment.
7. Close the compressor air outlet valve and depressurize the compressor before connecting
or disconnecting a pipe.
8. Before removing any pressurized component, effectively isolate the machine from all
sources of pressure and relieve the entire system of pressure.
9. Never use flammable solvents or carbon tetrachloride for cleaning parts. Take safety
precautions against toxic vapors of cleaning liquids.
10. Scrupulously observe cleanliness during maintenance and repair. Keep dirt away by
covering the parts and exposed openings with a clean cloth, paper or tape.
11. Never weld or perform any operation involving heat near the oil system. Oil tanks must be
completely purged, e.g. by steam cleaning, before carrying out such operations. Never weld
on, or in any way modify, pressure vessels.
12. Whenever there is an indication or any suspicion that an internal part of a machine is
overheated, the machine shall be stopped but no inspection covers shall be opened before
sufficient cooling time has elapsed; this to avoid the risk of spontaneous ignition of the oil
vapor when air is admitted.
13. Never use a light source with open flame for inspecting the interior of a machine, pressure
vessel, etc.
14. Make sure that no tools, loose parts or rags are left in or on the machine.
15. All regulating and safety devices shall be maintained with due care to ensure that they
function properly. They may not be put out of action.
16. Before clearing the machine for use after maintenance or overhaul, check that operating
pressures, temperatures and time settings are correct. Check that all control and shut-down
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.
• 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.

2 General description

2.1 Introduction

Introduction
GA 7 VSD+ up to GA 15 VSD+ are single-stage, oil-injected screw compressors driven by an
interior permanent magnet (English: Interior Permanent Magnet (IPM)) motor.
The compressors are controlled by the Atlas Copco ElektronikonTM Touch controller (ER).
The controller is fitted to the front panel. An electric cabinet (1) comprising fuses, transformers,
relays, etc. is located behind this panel.
The compressors use VSD (English: Variable Speed Drive) technology. This means: automatic
adjustment of the motor speed, depending on the compressed air demand.
The compressors are air-cooled and are enclosed in a sound-insulated bodywork.

Reference Description
F Dry compressed air (Workplace Full-Feature)

Air flow
Air comes in through filter (AF) and inlet valve (IV) and is compressed in the compressor element
(E).
A mixture of compressed air and oil flows into the air receiver/oil separator (AR), where oil and air
are separated.
The air flows through the minimum pressure valve (Vp), the air cooler (Ca) and the condensate
trap (MT) to the outlet valve (AV).
Minimum pressure valve (Vp) prevents the receiver pressure from dropping below a minimum
pressure and includes a check valve which prevents blow-back of compressed air from the net.
Workplace Full-Feature compressors have a dryer (DR) after the air cooler.

Oil circuit
The air receiver (AR) removes most of the oil from the air/oil mixture by centrifugal action. The oil
collects in the lower part of the air receiver (AR) which serves as oil tank.
The oil separator (OS) removes the remaining oil.
The oil circuit has a thermostatic bypass valve (BV) that prevents that the oil flows through the oil
cooler (Co) when the oil temperature is low.
Air pressure forces the oil from air receiver (AR) through the oil filter (OF).
The filtered oil flows through the cooling channels of the interior permanent magnet (IPM) motor
to the compressor element (E).

Cooling on air-cooled compressors

The cooling system has an air cooler (Ca) and an oil cooler (Co) (see Flow diagram).
The fan (FN) blows air over the coolers. This fan is set on and off, depending on the operating
conditions, according to a specific algorithm.

2.3 Condensate system

Drain connections
The compressors have an electronic water drain (ED).

Location of the electronic water drains (Workplace Full-Feature)

On Workplace Full-Feature units, the condensate formed in the dryer collects in the lower part of
the heat exchanger/evaporator.
When the condensate in the electronic drain reaches a certain level, it is drained via the
automatic drain outlet (Da).

The Test button (2) on top of the drain can be used in three different ways, according the
situation:
• When pressed during normal operation, it starts the manual drain test.
• When pressed during an alarm, it resets the control logic.
• By pressing the Test button for at least 5 seconds, the self diagnosis routine will start.

2.4 Regulating system

Description
When the compressor is started and the net pressure is below the setpoint, the motor speed
increases until the net pressure reaches the setpoint or until the maximum motor speed is
reached.
If the air consumption is less than the air delivery of the compressor, the net pressure increases
further.
When the net pressure reaches the setpoint (desired net pressure) and continues to rise, the
regulator decreases the motor speed.
When the pressure continues to increase although the motor already operates at minimum
speed, the regulator stops the motor as soon the net pressure reaches a value, equal to the
setpoint plus the indirect stop level (typically 0.3 bar above the setpoint).
Should the net pressure rise very quickly to a value equal to the setpoint plus the direct stop level
(typically 1 bar above the setpoint), the compressor is stopped immediately (without first
decreasing the motor speed).
See section Programmable settings.
No compressed air is lost when the compressor is stopped in automatic operation, thus saving
valuable energy.
If the compressor was stopped in automatic operation and the net pressure approaches the
setpoint, the regulator starts the motor again. The quicker the net pressure drops, the quicker the
compressor will restart.

The pressure in the oil separator vessel is only released to atmosphere when the
compressor is stopped manually or in case of an emergency stop (see chapter Stopping
in section Operating Instructions).

Compressed air circuit

Compressed air enters the heat exchanger (1) and is cooled by the outgoing, cold, dried air.
Water in air starts to condense. Then, the air flows through the heat exchanger/evaporator (2),
where the refrigerant evaporates.

2920 7120 83 21
 Instruction book

This causes the air to cool further close to the evaporating temperature of the refrigerant. More
water in the air condenses.
The cold air flows through the separator (3) where all the condensate gets out of the air.
The condensate is automatically drained through the outlet (4).
The outgoing, cold, dried air flows through the heat exchanger (1) where it is warmed up by the
incoming compressed air.

Refrigerant circuit
The refrigerant compressor (5) delivers hot, high-pressure refrigerant gas which flows through the
refrigerant condenser (6).
Most of the refrigerant condenses.
The liquid refrigerant flows through the liquid refrigerant dryer/filter (7) to the capillary tube (8).
The refrigerant leaves the capillary tube at about evaporating pressure.
The refrigerant enters the evaporator (2) where it gets heat from the compressed air by further
evaporation at about constant pressure.
The heated refrigerant leaves the evaporator and gets into the compressor (5) through a liquid
separator (12).
A bypass valve (9) regulates the refrigerant flow.
The fan (10) blows cool air over the refrigerant condenser (6).
Pressure switch (11) controls fan (10), depending on the operating conditions.

3 Elektronikon™ Touch controller

3.1 Controller

The Elektronikon™ Touch controller

Introduction
The controller has following functions:
• Controlling the unit
• Protecting the unit
• Monitoring components subject to service
• Automatic restart after voltage failure (ARAVF)

Automatic control of the unit

The controller maintains the net pressure between programmable limits by automatically loading
and unloading the unit (fixed speed units) or by adapting the motor speed (units with frequency
converter).
A number of programmable settings, e.g. the unloading and loading pressures (for fixed speed
units), the setpoint (for units with frequency converter), the minimum stop time, the maximum
number of motor starts and several other parameters are taken into account.
The controller stops the unit whenever possible to reduce the power consumption and restarts it
automatically when the net pressure decreases. If the expected unloading period is too short, the
unit is kept running to prevent too short standstill periods.

A number of time based automatic start/stop commands may be programmed. Take into
account that a start command will be executed (if programmed and activated), even after
manually stopping the unit.

2920 7120 83 23
 Instruction book

Protecting the unit

Shutdown
Several sensors are provided on the unit. If one of the measured signals exceeds the
programmed shutdown level, the unit will be stopped.
Example: If the element outlet temperature exceeds the programmed shutdown level, the unit will
be stopped. This will be indicated on the display of the controller.
The unit will also be stopped in case of overload of the drive motor or fan motor.

Before remedying, consult the Safety precautions.

Before resetting a warning or shutdown message, always solve the problem. Frequently
resetting these messages without remedying may damage the unit.

Shutdown warning
A shutdown warning level is a programmable level below the shutdown level.
If one of the measurements exceeds the programmed shutdown warning level, a message will
appear on the display and the general alarm LED will light up to warn the operator before the
shutdown level is reached.
The message disappears as soon as the warning condition disappears.
A warning will also appear if the dew point temperature is too high (on units with integrated
dryer).
When the shutdown warning is shown, press stop button to stop the unit and wait until the unit
has stopped. Switch off the voltage, inspect the unit and remedy if necessary. The warning
message will disappear as soon as the warning condition disappears.

Service warning
A number of service operations are grouped as a Service Plan. Each Service Plan has a
programmed time interval. If the service timer exceeds a programmed value, this will be indicated
on the display to warn the operator to carry out the service actions belonging to that Service Plan.
When the service warning is shown, stop the unit, switch off the voltage and carry out the
required service actions. See section Preventive Maintenance.

Automatic restart after voltage failure (ARAVF)

The controller has a built-in function to automatically restart the unit when the voltage is restored
after voltage failure. For units leaving the factory, this function is made inactive. If desired, the
function can be activated. Consult your supplier.

If the function is activated and provided the regulator was in the automatic operation
mode, the unit will automatically restart if the supply voltage to the module is restored.
The ARAVF label (see section Pictographs) shall be glued near to the controller.

(1) Ventilation proposals

(2) Minimum free area to be reserved for the compressor installation

Description

1 Compressor unit:
Install the compressor unit on a solid, level floor suitable for taking the weight.
2 Position of the compressed air outlet valve.

2920 7120 83 51
 Instruction book

3 Delivery pipe:
The pressure drop over the air delivery pipe can be calculated as follows:
Δp = (L x 450 x Qc1.85) / (d5 x P), with
d = inner diameter of the pipe in mm
Δp = pressure drop (recommended maximum: 0.1 bar (1.5 psi) )
L = length of the pipe in m
P = absolute pressure at the compressor outlet in bar(a)
Qc = free air delivery of the compressor in l/s
Connect air outlet pipe of the compressor on top of the main air net pipe. In this way, there is a
minimum carry-over of condensate residue.
4 Ventilation:
When you install the inlet grids and ventilation fan, make sure that no re-circulation of cooling air
into the compressor or into the dryer is possible.
The maximum air velocity through the grids is 5 m/s (16.5 ft/s).
The maximum air temperature at the compressor intake is 46 ˚C (115 ˚F).
The minimum air temperature at the compressor intake is 0 ˚C (32 ˚F).
Alternatives 1 and 3: the required ventilation to limit the compressor room temperature is
calculated as follows:
• Qv = 1.19 N/ΔT (for units without dryer)
• Qv = 1.25 N/ΔT (for units with dryer)
Qv = Required ventilation capacity in m3/s
N = Shaft input of compressor in kW
ΔT = Temperature increase in compressor room in °C
Alternatives 2 and 4:
Make sure that the cooling air duct of the air/oil cooler is separated from the cooling air duct of the
dryer.
The maximum pressure drop over the additional air/oil ducts is limited to 10 Pa (0.04 in wc) for
the standard fan.
5 Drain pipes:
Connect the condensate drain outlets to a drain collector. See section Condensate system for the
position of the outlets.
The drain pipes to the drain collector must not dip into the water. If the pipes lead outside the
room where freezing is possible, they must be insulated.
Atlas Copco has oil/water separators (type OSD or OSCi) to separate the major part of the oil
from the condensate to ensure that the condensate meets the requirements of the environmental
codes.
6 Control module with monitoring panel.
7 Power supply cable:
Have the power supply cable sized and installed by a qualified electrician.
In case of an IT network, consult Atlas Copco.
To preserve the protection degree of the electric cubicle and to protect its components from dust
from the environment, it is mandatory to use a proper cable gland when connecting the supply
cable to the compressor.
8 Filter, type DD for general purposes
The filter traps solid particles down to 1 micron with a maximum oil carry-over of 0.5 mg/m3.
A high-efficiency filter, type PD, may be installed downstream of a DD filter. This filter traps solid
particles down to 0.01 micron with a maximum. oil carry-over of 0.01 mg/m3.
If oil vapours and odours are undesirable, install a QD type filter downstream of the PD filter.
Install bypass pipes over each filter together with ball valves. This ensures that service operations
do not disturb the compressed air delivery .
9 Air tank:
Install the air tank (optional) in a frost free room, on a solid level floor suitable for taking the
weight.
Install a safety valve on the air tank.

10 Outlet cooling air grating of the air cooler and the oil cooler.
11 Outlet cooling air grating of the dryer.
12 Bypass system to bypass the dryer during service operations (available as an option, consult
Atlas Copco).

Safety

Apply all relevant safety precautions, including those mentioned in this book.

Outdoor/altitude operation
The compressors are not designed for outdoor use.
The compressors can only be used in temperatures above 0 °C (+32 °F). If frost might occur, the
appropriate measures should be taken to avoid damage to the machine and its ancillary
equipment. In this case, consult Atlas Copco.
Also if operating above 1000 m (3300 ft), consult Atlas Copco.

Moving/lifting
The compressor can be moved by a lift truck using the slots in the frame. Take care not to
damage the bodywork during lifting or transport. Before lifting, reinstall the transport securing
bolts. 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.

In case of units equipped with the Lifting Device Option, it is not allowed to lift the
compressor if the canopy parts or lifting supports are not completely installed. When the
compressor is being lifted, it is also forbidden to come under the load or to perform
maintenance activities to it.

Acclimatization

When moving the compressor into an installation room, forming of condense can occur
on some components.
To avoid dew harming of electrical components, ensure at least 2 hours of
acclimatization before switch on the compressor.

2920 7120 83 53
 Instruction book

4.3 Electrical connections

Working with machinery controlled by a frequency converter requires special safety
precautions.
These safety precautions depend on the kind of network used (TN, TT, IT system).
Consult Atlas Copco.

Most compressors are designed for use in TT/TN networks and are intended for
industrial environments where the electrical supply is separated from the residential/
commercial supply network.
To use the machine in light industrial, commercial or residential environments with a
shared supply network or in an IT network, extra measures can be required: contact
Atlas Copco.

8.2 Electric cable size and fuses

Important

• The voltage on the compressor terminals must not deviate more than 10% of the
nominal voltage.
It is however highly recommended to keep the voltage drop over the supply cables
at nominal current below 5% of the nominal voltage (IEC 60204-1).
• If cables are grouped together with other power cables, it may be necessary to use
cables of a larger size than those calculated for the standard operating conditions.
• Use the original cable entry. See section Dimension drawings.
To preserve the IP protection degree of the electric cubicle and to protect its
components from dust from the environment, it is mandatory to use a proper
cable gland when connecting the supply cable to the compressor.
• Local regulations remain applicable if they are stricter than the values proposed
below.
• Caution:
• Always double-check the fuse size versus the calculated cable size. If
required, reduce fuse size or enlarge cable size.
• Cable length should not exceed the maximum length according to IEC60204
table 10.

Leakage breaker (optional)

If the installation requires a leakage breaker, always use an all current sensitive leakage breaker,
RCM or RCD Type B (according to IEC/EN 60755) with a sufficient trip level.

Calculation method for IEC:

• Single supply cables (3 phases + PE - configuration (1)):
• Add 10 % to the total compressor current (ItotPack or ItotFF from the tables)
• Install the prescribed fuse on each cable
• Parallel supply cable (2 x 3 phases + PE - configuration (2)):
• Add 10 % to the total compressor current (ItotPack or ItotFF from the tables) and divide
by 2
• Multiply the ampacity of the cables with 0.8 (see table A.52.17 (52-E1))
• Install fuses of half the size of the recommended maximum fuse size on each cable.
• When using 2 x 3 phases + PE as in (3):
• Add 10 % to the total compressor current (ItotPack or ItotFF from the tables) and divide
by √3
• Multiply the ampacity of the cables with 0.8 (see table A.52.17 (52-E1))
• Fuse size: the recommended maximum fuse size divided by √3 on each cable.
• Size of the PE cable:
• For supply cables up to 35 mm²: same size as supply cables
• For supply cables larger than 35 mm²: half the size of the supply wires
Always check the voltage drop over the cable (less than 5 % of the nominal voltage is
recommended).
Example: Itot = 89 A, maximum ambient temperature is 45 °C, recommended fuse = 100 A
• Single supply cables (3 phases + PE - configuration (1)):
• I = 89 A + 10 % = 89 x 1.1 = 97.9 A
• The table for B2 and ambient temperature = 45 ° C allows a maximum current of 93 A
for a 50 mm² cable. For a cable of 70 mm², the maximum allowed current is 118 A,
which is sufficient. Therefore, use a 3 x 70 mm² + 35 mm² cable.

84 2920 7120 83
Instruction book

If method C is used, 50 mm² is suffficient. (35 mm² for method F) => cable 3 x 50 mm²
+ 25 mm².
• Parallel supply cable (2 x 3 phases + PE - configuration (2)):
• I = (89 A + 10 %)/2 = (89 x 1.1)/2 = 49 A
• For a cable of 25 mm², B2 at 45 °C, the maximum current is 63 A x 0.8 = 50.4 A. So 2
parallel cables of 3 x 25 mm² + 25 mm² are sufficient.
• Install 50 A fuses on each cable instead of 100 A.
