! terials than those recommended in this manual, may be a potential risk of accidents.
It is strictly forbidden for the machine to be operated by two persons contemporane-
ously, one inside the guards and one on the control panel.

Dangers and residual risks

During the design phase all hazardous areas have been considered and, therefore, all necessary pre-
cautions have been taken to avoid risks to people and damage to the machine components.
To guarantee both health and safety of those exposed, the machine is equipped with appropriate safety
devices:
• EMERGENCY button to stop the machine immediately
• Fixed protections. located in areas with exclusive access for routine maintenance. They are xed by
devices that need special tools for their removal, or they are locked with screws.
• Protection and segregation of the electrical/electronic driving equipment of the machine by metallic
box, to avoid accidental contacts with live equipment in case the metallic box is open; the electric box
is IP 54 protected; IP 20 is the protection degree of the internal devices against accidental contact.
• Suitable panels or protection to cover moving parts.
• Electrical devices to detect faults of the machine electrical supply and malfunction of motor electrical
devices.

WARNING !!!
098

! Our machine IS NOT SUIT ABLE for use in areas with potentially explosive atmos-
phere.

TI011G0011
 General Information - Safety 2.02

After having carefully considered all possible risks concerning the use and maintenance of the machine,
all measures have been adopted to eliminate risks and limit dangers to exposed people.
Although the machine is equipped with safety devices, the following residual risks remain, which can be
eliminated or reduced by the relevant precaution:
• Risk of bruises, tearing, cuts during the handling of tools and/or elements.
• Risk of bruises during machine intervention.

Operation
❑ The operator should use the personal protection devices.
❑ Use the compressor only for the kind of application for which it is designed (air compression for
industrial use).
❑ Before starting, ensure that compressor is lled with oil.
❑ Please refer to Section 8 of this manual for the oil type to be used.
❑ Never operate the compressor if there is a possibility of inhaling smoke or toxic or ammable va-
pours.
❑ Never operate the compressor at higher pressures than those indicated in the id plate.
The air delivered by the compressor must not be used for breathing, although it is f ltered
and purif ed from oil.
❑ If hoses are used to distribute the air, ensure they are properly sized and suitable for the operating
pressure, and not damaged or worn.
Please remember that rubber hoses should be replaced at regular intervals.
❑ Never remove the oil ller plug when the machine is running or there is still pressure inside the
compressor: there would be hot oil leak.
❑ Although it has an acceptable sound pressure level, the machine can produce a much higher noise
if the room is narrow and reverberating. Please note that the continuous presence of an operator
is unnecessary.
For safey against noise, in compliance with local laws in force, and if necessary, place speci c warn-
ing signs near the machine and equip personnel with suitable protections.

Installation
Besides fulf lment of rules and regulations issued by the authorities, it is recommended to con-
sider the following:
❑ The compressor will perform most ef ciently if installed in a suitable, well ventilated area and far
from heat sources.
❑ Should any duct be installed for the suction and cooling of air, always use the data and recommen-
dations given in Section 4 and preferably obtain expert advice during the design stage.
❑ In case of outdoor installation (not suggested for very cold climates) it is necessary to place the
machine under a roof or covering, to protect it against weather.
❑ Be careful that no foreign materials clogg the radiator and cause rises of the operating tempera-
ture.
❑ The intake air must be clean and free from ammable vapours, which could cause res or explo-
sions.
❑ As the machine is air cooled, except for machines supplied with the “Heat recovery” kit, adequate
ventilation must be ensured to prevent it from overheating and thus avoiding the recirculation of the
expelled hot air.
❑ Control and safety devices should never be tampered with.
❑ If one or more compressors are installed on a single pneumatic line, it is essential that each unit is
equipped with a detect valve.
❑ Electrical connection should be conforming to current regulations. The machines should be earth
connected and protected by a magneto-thermal switch against possible short circuits.
❑ It is essential to install a mains isolating switch upstream of the compressor.
TI011G0011
 General Information - Safety 2.03

Maintenance
The person responsible for operation of the compressor should check periodically that all instructions
for operation and maintenance are followed by the operator.
098

WARNING !!!
! Fill in the specif c “Maintenance Sheet” supplied with the machine.

Only trained staff should carry out maintenance, with the compressor off and with no pressure inside the
same. Also disconnect the compressor from the pneumatic equipment.
Cut out the electricity supply by acting on the mains isolator located upstream of the compressor electric
board and indicate with a special sign that the machine MUST NOT BE RESTARTED.

WARNING !!!
098

An adequate cleaning of both the machine and the place where it is installed is highly
! recommended.
For cleaning DO NOT USE f ammable f uids or products not complying with current
regulations.
In case of doubts about the compressor operation or of any of its components, it is
recommended to contact the after sales service of Ing. Enea Mattei S.p.A.

The following should be also considered:

❑ Before intervening on the machine, disconnect the electrical supply by means of the mains isola-
tor.
In fact, the machine is equipped with an automatic start system, starting the same at any time, if
required by the compressed air system.
❑ The key for opening/closing the electric box doors should be given only to skilled personnel.
❑ Maintenance operations should be always carried out with compressor not operating.
❑ Before carrying out any job on the compressor unit, ensure through the gauge that there is no pres-
sure inside.
❑ Only use suitable tools for the kind of job.
❑ Never use solvents and ammable products to clean the machine or individual parts.
❑ Never carry out weldings or other jobs requiring considerable heat near the machine, speci cally
near the electrical system and the oil circuit.
❑ Do not make modi cations or weldings on vessels under pressure.
❑ Do not leave tools, rags or other loose items on the motor or on the compressor.
❑ The lubricating oil, especially if exhausted, may damage the skin: protect hands with gloves or spe-
ci c protecting products for the skin.
❑ Do not wear clothes contaminated by lubricating oil
❑ Absolutely avoid contaminating the ground with lubricating oil.
❑ To prevent pollution, store the exhausted lubricant into suitable containers and in a safe place. For
oil disposal follow what suggested by internal rules and current regulations.
❑ In case of topping up, use the same oil as already contained in the machine.
Mixtures are harmful for both the oil and the compressor life.
❑ After any maintenance, start the machine and check that all control, stop or alarm devices are work-
ing correctly; also verify that temperature and pressure values are the correct ones.
❑ Make checks and overhauls as foreseen in this Manual, and use only original spare parts.
Failing to make checks or using non original spare parts may cause problems that jeopardize the
machine operation and the manufacturer’s warranty will be no longer valid.

All components are enclosed in a soundpro-

o ng canopy in sheet stell , epoxy powder
painted and lined with deadening re-resi-
stant material.

The canopy has a pre- lter to prevent intake

of gross particles that might prematurely clog
the radiators and air lter.
Wide detachable panels and hinged doors
allow easy access for all.

The base has openings to allow easy lifting

and handling of the compressor (See Sec-
tion 4).
Standard packing includes: xing on wooden

dboard box.
813a

Compressor
The vane compressor is a volumetric rotary compressor.
It consists of a cylinder (stator) in which a rotor, mounted
eccentrically and tangential with it rotates, and two end
covers.
The rotor has longitudinal slots in which the vanes slide.
The vanes are pushed against the stator by centrifugal
force.
Sealing of the moving parts, cooling and lubrication are
provided by an ef cient injection of oil through proper ports,
due to the pressure difference between the compression
chamber and the oil receiver. No pump for uid circulation
is needed.
An oil lm on the inner surface of the stator prevents direct
contact of the moving parts and avoids any wear.
In the vane compressor there are no axial thrusts pushing
158

the rotor against the end covers.

Therefore there is no need for thrust bearings.
The rotor is supported by white metal bearings having a
practically unlimited lifetime.
The air drawn in rst passes through a lter and then
through the modulating valve.
The decrease in volume of the pockets formed by the
stator, rotor and vanes produces a continuous, pulse-free,
compression.

Intake valve
The intake valve, driven by a speci c servovalve through
a hydraulic circuit using the same oil as used for lubri-
cation, adjusts the intake air quantity to the air system
requirements.

 Description of the Machine 3.03

Minimum pressure and non return valve

Compressed air is delivered by the compressor through a valve
ensuring a minimum pressure inside the oil chamber, so as to
guarantee smooth operation when the compressor is delivering air.
This valve also prevents the compressed air in the system from
returning to the compressor.

Oil separation
The air/oil separation occurs in different stages and ensures ex-
ceptionally low oil consumptions.
The main mechanical separation occurs in the oil chamber through
a labyrinth path.
This mechanical separation works via the continuous changes of
direction of the air ow in the labyrinth path.
The last separation occurs through the coalescing lter, removing
the remaining oil vapours from the air.
This particular oil separation system brings to a very reduced oil
159

consumption. The large size of the lter and quality of materials

ensure a long life of the lter itself.
Electric Motor
The compressor and the motor are connected by means of exible coupling. This ensures a perfect
alignment, no power absorption, silent operation and no need for maintenance.
The electric motor is asynchronous, threephase, 4 poles, with short circuit winding.
- Class F isolation
- IP 55 protection degree
- Power supply according to IEC 38 standard.
- Voltage/Frequency V 230/50 - 400/50 Hz - V 230/60 - 460/60 Hz

Cooling Systems
The compressor comes with two aluminium radiators and suitable for cooling oil and compressed air,
respectively.
An air ow, output from the fan inside the sound poof cabin, comes into contact with the radiators and
removes the heat generated during compression.
The temperature of the output compressed air is slightly higher that the environmental temperature.
See technical characteristics attached.

Built-in Dryer (versions plus)

Each AC unit (OPTIMA / MAXIMA) is supplied with a compressed

air cooling radiator. Cooling produces condensation that is
unloaded from specific separators and drainpipes that can be
applied on the front of the machine (see this section Optional
Accessories).
Many industrial applications require that the compressed air be al-
most completely emptied from the water vapour it contains so as to
prevent any further condensation from forming inside the line pipes
to which it is connected.
Hence, devices that lower the dew point by a few degrees above
0°C should be installed.
In the plus versions the setting up of the machine includes a dryer
with a refrigerator cycle that guarantees an adequate compressed
air quality.

The design of the compressor allows for integrating a dryer with

refrigerator cycle directly installed on the machine.

An electronic controller controls the dryer, which manages its

functional parameters according to the different operating load
cycles.

WARNING!!!

ID Plate
The product ID plate contains all the machine’s essential data.
Removing or tampering the id plate forfeits the right of guarantee.

Operating Mode

When the compressor is activated, the drier also starts after a pre-
set delay.

Alarms are inserted with 5-minute delay to allow the drier to reach
its operating mode.
Once this delay has elapsed, the alarms start and begin monitoring
the system.

Once started, the dryer compressor group stays on until the

following conditions occur:
381

✔ The compressor is stopped with the “STOP” push-button

✔ The dryer operating limit conditions are exceeded.

TI011G0011
 Description of the Machine 3.08

The controller manages the dryer operation by monitoring the dew point temperature that allows the
system to run correctly.
The operating limits for such a parameter are as follows:

✔ The dew point temperature > 0°C;

✔ The dew point temperature < 6°C with Ambient Temperature ≤ 25°C;
✔ The dew point temperature < T.amb. – Δ ambient with Ambient Temperature > 25°C.

MATTEI sets the Δ ambient value.

If the dew point drops below 0°C, the controller will indicate the faulty condition [Ice Alarm] while the
dryer compressor is kept active throughout the time corresponding to the parameter [Low Temperature
Delay Time].
Once this time has elapsed, the dryer compressor is stopped so to prevent any ice from forming.
As soon as the temperature rises again above 0°C, the dryer compressor is re-started and the fault
warning is automatically turned off.

Should the dew point temperature rise above the upper limit, the controller will indicate the fault condi-
tion [ALARM High Dew Point] for the time that corresponds to the parameter [High Temperature Delay
Time].
When the set time has elapsed, the Alarm warning will stay on.
As soon as the temperature falls again within the above-mentioned operating interval, the fault warning
will be automatically turned off.

NOTE:
The user can request Ing. ENEA MATTEI that the fault in the dryer corresponds to a machine BLOCK.

NOTE:
The design of the dryer prevents condensate from accumulating and ice from forming inside it.

In case of any failure in the dryer, by-passing the device is possible by disconnecting the hose linking it
to the air radiator and connecting it directly to the delivery side. All joints installed are equivalent

 Installation 4.02

Position of compressor

In the section “Technical Data ”you can nd the

overall dimensions, the weight,and the cooling
values of the machine.
The compressor must be installed in a covered
and well ventilated area ,away form heat sources.
It can be simply placed on a solid and level oor.
It does not require any type of special foundation.
Space and ventilation around the machine are
essential.
An air-cooled compressor,driven by an electrical
motor,produces heat equal to about 85% the
absorbed power.
For the AC 1000 Series machines,having the
cooling air outlet on the canopy top panel, the di-
stance from the ceiling should not be lower than
1,5 meters.
If such a clearance is not possible, a hot air con-
veyor must be installed (see further on the sec-
tion on ducts size and heat recovery).
The 1,5 meter distance, free from any obstruc-
tions, should be also kept on the intake end.
To make it easier to perform checks and main-
tenance operations on the compressor leave at
least 1,5 m clearance from all other sides.

Connection to the air distribution

system

Compressed air distribution

Only qualified personnel

should carry out the con-
nection to the air distribution
system, in compliance with

101
the regulations in force.

The aim of distributing air is to bring com-

pressed air from the machine to the end
users, with the lowest pressure drop and
energy waste.

To avoid losses and wastes, regularly

check all pipings of the distribution equip-
801a

ment and all accessories.

Filters, regulators and other accessories should undergo proper

maintenance.

The connecting pipe to the system should be exible and with a di-
ameter not lower than the pipe leaving the machine.

A detect valve is required to isolate the machine from the air distribu-
tion system in case of maintenance.

WARNING !
The machine is equipped with a NON RETURN VALVE; if the
detect valve is closed when the air distribution is operating
some air under pressure could remain inside the connecting
pipe !
Arrange a draining system for the piece of piping between the
compressor and the detect valve.
In case there is the need to disconnect the machine, ensure
that the internal pressure is exhausted before the dismantling
procedure.

Near the machine, derive a exible hose from the distribution system
and connect it to a blowing gun: it is needed for periodic cleaning of
the radiator, the intake lter and all other machine components.

The air drawn in by compressors contains, in a variable quantity and

depending on the ambient conditions, a certain quantity of water
indicated as relative humidity.
After air has been compressed, it is cooled in a speci c radiator, which
all versions of the Mattei compressors are supplied with.
Cooling air produces condensate of a good quantity of the water it
contains.
The condensate produced is separated and drained with an automatic
device (optional).

Please note that condensate should be collected and eliminated

in compliance with current laws.
TI011G0011
 Installation 4.05

Dimensions of compressed air distribution pipings

We mention that the main causes for wastes are pipings with unsuitable diameter and losses
due to an improper setting up of the equipment or deteriorated materials.

The pipe diameter must be duly selected so as to minimize the pressure drop between the
compressor or the storage receiver and the point of use, based on the machine features, like
air delivery and working pressure.

The pressure drop is proportional to the pipe length and most losses occur during the change
of direction (curves, elbows) and in the valves.

With a pipe having the same diameter as the compressor outlet, the length should not exceed
50 m.
To make a check of one’s own equipment, “Table 1” gives the load losses, over 100 metres
straight piping, according to nominal diameters usually employed and at different air delivery
and working pressure conditions.

A perfect air distribution system should limit the pressure drop from compressor to the point of
use within few tenths of bar.

Heat Recovery

As mentioned in above
section on Page 3.03, a
fan produces an airflow
that cools both the oil and
the compressed air, heating
up when it goes through the
radiator.

The recoverable heat

represents about 100%
of the power installed in
the AC 1000 SERIES ma-
chines.

The heat produced can

119

be conveniently recovered
and used to heat rooms.

Any duct should be adequately sized and, if necessary, shaped in

such a way to allow for a correct use during Winter and the output of
hot air during Summer.

The duct to recover/output hot air should be designed by a competent

engineer and should limit the load loss at approximately 20 Pa.

If the duct offers greater resistance, an auxiliary extractor should be

used to prevent any overheating of the machine.

As an example, a duct with a higher or equal section to the coming

out of the machine (the output grid on those versions equipped with
a soundproof case), made up of some 10 m of straight duct and two
90° elbows properly connected, allows the maximum tolerated limits
to be maintained.

However, it should be noted that 10 Pa increase corresponds to some

2 - 3 °C increase in operating temperatures.
As for the recoverable heat, it should be noted that 1 kW of installed
power allows for the heating up a volume of about 30 cubic meters
by 1 K (1 kW = 860 kcal/h).

In the Section on “TECHNICAL DATA” attached to this manual the

values required to realize that which is mentioned above are indi-
cated.

 How to Use the Machine 6.01

Foreword

The user should appoint a

quali ed person for opera-
tion and maintenance of the
machine.

099
He should properly train all operators, so
that they are acquainted with all needed
measures to prevent any accident or
injury to people.

All start and stop procedures as well as

emergency ones should be known; they
should be also periodically checked with
the operators.
801a

The operating and maintenance manual should be always available;

in case of loss or damage, further copies can be purchased from
Mattei’s sales organisation.

Checks before start

Before starting the machine, ensure that:

‰ the electrical system complies with voltage and power of the

machine and that wires are of suitable section;

‰ the machine is earth connected and protected against possible

short circuits;

‰ the mains isolator is installed near the machine;

‰ the machine oil level is correct; with the compressor not operating
and without pressure inside the chamber the oil should exceed
the visual level indicator. In case of low level, top up with suitable
oil of the same type as in use;

‰ the machine is connected to the compressed air system.

TI011G0011
 How to Use the Machine 6.02

Operation Modes

Mattei compressors, to best comply with the users’ need, have been designed to work in three main
modes: Continuous, Automatic and Modulation.
The factory-preset mode is AUTOMATIC. To change the setting please refer to section 6.3.1 of MAE-
STROxs operating manual.

An overview of these three options is given below.

Continuous (Cont)
072

In this mode, the compressor delivers air within a clearly defined pressure range; maximum and mini-
mum values are factory-set by Mattei though they can be customised using the programming functions
in the [User] menu. When pressure reaches the maximum value (Pmax) the compressor is off-loaded
(suction valve closed) and decompressed in order to reduce power consumption. As soon as a request
for air from the network reduces pressure to the minimum value (Pmin) the compressor loads again and
resumes air delivery. The compressor can be stopped at any time by pressing the stop button: the stop-
ping procedure comprises a no-load run phase which lasts for a set time during which the compressor
is decompressed.

Nota
If the unit is enabled with a line pressure greater than the set minimum pressure, the compressor does
not start but waits for the pressure to fall below the minimum value.

Automatic (Auto) (Preset Mode)

073

This mode adds another function to the previous one: the compressor can automatically stop at low or
no air demand conditions. The cycle is the following. When line pressure reaches Pmax, the compressor
is “off-loaded"; at this point, two things can happen:
1. if there is no demand for air it runs no-load for a certain period of time TMV (No-load Run Time) and
stops when this period of time expires; it starts again as soon as line pressure falls below Pmin;
2. if line pressure falls to Pmin before TMV expires, the compressor is “recharged”.

The above operating mode can be combined with a special characteristic of MATTEI rotary compres-
sors, the MODULATION phase.

TI011G0011
 How to Use the Machine 6.03

By suitably adjusting the its “servo-valve”, the compressor can modulate before reaching Pmax. This
means that Pmax can only be reached in case of very low or nil demand.

Nota
If the unit is enabled with a line pressure greater than the set minimum pressure, the compressor
does not start but waits for the pressure to fall below the minimum value.

Modulation
074
074

All MATTEI compressors are fitted with an automatic system for adjusting pressure according to delivery
pressure. The internal pressure of the compressor depends (partly) on line pressure and, consequently,
on the demand for air; when the latter drops or is nil, line pressure and internal pressure increase. In
Mattei compressors, the maximum pressure at which the unit runs no-load can be set (by calibrating a
valve). For values slightly below maximum, the suction valve is only “partially” closed by suitably modu-
lating machine capacity to line requirements. Maximum pressure and values slightly below this define
a field or range which is known as a MODULATION BAND.
This operating mode exploits this potential. The control unit ignores the Pmax and Pmin. settings and
operates the compressor without stopping except in case of an operator command.

Nota
The modulation bandwidth is typically 0.3 bar.

Suppose maximum no-load pressure is set (using the SERVO-VALVE) to 7.3 bar.

- For pressure values lower than 7 bar (7.3 - 0.3 = 7), the compressor delivers 100% of its capacity.
- For values ranging from 7 to 7.3 bar (the modulation band), the compressor delivers less than its rated
capacity, suitable for line demand.

TI011G0011
 How to Use the Machine 6.04

Upon delivery, the compressor is protected by an alphanumerical code which must

be provided by Mattei and entered the rst time it is switched on.
The compressor will not work if this code is not entered because, as soon as the
099

compressor is powered, the screen shown appears with the cursor ashing in the
top left-hand corner.

859

ENTERING THE CODE

Press < ↵ > to move the cursor to the rst digit of the code to enter.
Press <Ð> and <Ï> to select the letters or numbers to enter and con rm with < ↵ >.
The cursor automatically moves on to the next position after each digit is con rmed and, if the code has
been correctly entered, the rst page of the menu appears [ MONITOR ].
If the code is entered incorrectly, instead, MAESTRO xs asks for the entire code to be re-entered.

After being entered correctly, the code will no longer be requested.

L From now on, the compressor can be used and con gured.

In order to communicate with the user, MAESTROxs features carious menus that allow the compressor
to be monitored and programmed. These are divided by function and not all of them can be accessed
by the nal customer. Some of them are protected by one or more passwords.
The menus are divided according to the functions that they control.
The main menus used to manage the compressor are:

Menu User access Password Menu ID

Monitor Menu Yes No 0
User Menu Yes No 1
Advanced Menu No Yes 2
Clock Menu Yes No 3
Log Menu Yes No 4
Network Menu Yes No 5
Info Menu Yes No 6

To simplify use of the compressor, some symbols are used to graphically represent certain functions, such
as machine status and other settings.
Other symbols are used to report operating problems, special enabled functions, etc..
The various menus also use texts informing the user of the meaning of the variables and the functions
they perform.
To simplify traceability of a variable, every menu is identi ed by a number, as shown in table 3. The same
applies to the submenus and individual variables.

For a more detailed description of individual menus, please refer to the Maestro xs manual (code TE-
CA2G-007) supplied with this manual.

‰ The chamber pressure at the moment of failure
861

All these information are stored in the incorporated historical archive together with other information, and
it is possible to store up to 20 failures
When the failure number exceeds the allowed limit, the system clears the least recent failure to insert the
latest one.
Press ““Reset” key a second time to reset the compressor operation.
862

Note : for Plus versions the faults “frost alarm” and “high dewpoint” are visually signalled when the dewpoint
temperature is out of the standard operating range, with automatic restoring as soon as the temperature
goes back to the normal values.
See MAESTRO xs manual (code TECA2I-007) supplied together with this manual.

NOTE
MAESTROXS has a control logic that prevents an excessive number of consecutives
starts.

This logic is cleared by the user ’s manual intervention, if he/she acts directly by turning
off and on the machine manually.

WARNING

An excessive number of consecutive starts may damage the main motor.

098

Operate manually only in case of real need and wait for a reasonable amount of time before

 Maintenance 7.01

Suggestions on maintenance

Machine cleaning

Cleaning of the equipment should be carried out at regular intervals, following the schedule in this
manual.
To clean delicate parts of the machine direct the compressed air jet so that neither machining waste nor
humidity can penetrate in the mechanic assemblies.
Only use lint-free cloths to clean internal and/or moving parts (in contact with lubricant).
Always use perfectlly dry air during the cleaning and at suitable pressure to avoid injuries to the opera-
tor.

Maintenance schedule

The time intervals in the maintenance tables are only reference values concerning the machine opera-
tion at the company’s conditions.
Environment factors affecting these intervals are mainly: machine environment (temperature, humidity)
and air pollution.

Machine lubrication

Use only the lubricant quantity needed to lubricate the involved mechanism. Carefully dry the excess
oil or grease with a cloth.
Sometimes an excess or a lack of lubricant may jeopardize the machine operation.
Only recommended lubricants or well known and tested equivalent lubricants should be used for lubri-
cation
Replacement of the exhausted oils should be made when the machine is warm. The oil temperature
should range between 25 and 30 °C. (see section 8).
The draining and lling holes should not be left open for more than the time needed to replace the oil.

Jobs to be performed during maintenance

During maintenance operations pay attention to all signs that may precede a failure, and speci cally:
• presence of corrosion,
• presence of wear,
• presence of loose unions or connections,
• presence of oxidized contacts,
• after each maintenance operation, exhaust the air from the pneumatic pipings.

Minimizing downtimes after a failure

It should be noted that correctly performed maintenance interventions may minimize downtimes after
a failure.
A repair made in due time prevents further deterioration.
Only use original spare parts and repair the damaged component thoroughly, by your factory or send it
to the nearest authorised service centre.

Foreword

101
As mentioned above, oil performs
multiple functions that are crucial
to the smooth operation of the
compressor and, consequently, it
is essential check both its quantity and condition
at the recommended frequency.
Please refer to the speci c tables for selecting the
oil types most suitable to the different operating
conditions.

839

First change of oil

If not otherwise indicated on the speci c plate, the

compressor is supplied with Rotoroil 8000 F2 oil.
The rst oil change and the rst oil lter change
should take place within 5000 hours or a year.
It is to be noted that expired oil is dangerous for the
smooth operation of the compressor, hence once
the forecast interval for its change has elapsed, it
should be replaced.
Oil replacement should be done with the machine
off and with warm oil.

To drain oil, wait for the complete depressurization

of the compressor, while verifying that the pressure
gauge on the separator or on the tank shows that
no more pressure exists inside.
Unscrew the cap of the lling gate slowly (Photo 1),
2 while paying attention to the possible presence of
740

foam. If necessary, wait for some minutes for the

oil to demulsify.
Open the drain cock (Photo 2) and drain the oil into
a suitable container.
Close the drain cock upon the operation end. Fill
the oil chamber with new oil to lap the gate.
Replace the cap seal and tighten it well.
Start the compressor and let it run for some min-
utes, and then stop it. Check the correct level by
means of the speci c indicator (Photo 3) and ll it
up again, if necessary.

Using Rotoroil lubricants

It is recommended to use Mattei Rotoroil 8000 Lubricants.
The subsequent changes could be made at the forecasted intervals.
Should the machine have already worked for a long period with other oils, and should lacquers and
deposits be present, then it is recommended to wash with Rotoroil 8000 F2/F4 for some 200 hours, so
as to remove all residual impurities.
It is also recommended, when lling the machine up with new oil, to replace the oil lter and the ltering
elements of the separator.
TI011G0011
 Lubricants 8.01

Lubricants are f ammable products.

Observe the indications given on the containers !

During the disposal of exhausted lubricants it is necessary to comply with following environment protec-
tion rules:

• Lubricants may contaminate water and soil !

Never pour lubricants on the ground, into water, or in the sewerage system.
Any infringement of these rules can be legally prosecuted! When handling lubricants keep an oil ag-
glomerative base near the working area.
• Recover the exhausted lubricants while separating the mineral based from synthetic lubricants. Upon
disposal, please comply with current regulations concerning the disposal of exhausted oils.

Only the use of lubricants with suitable quality guarantees a safe operation of the machine.

It is forbidden to mix lubricants of a different quality, as their composition and additives are not
the same.

This rule should be mainly applied to synthetic and mineral lubricant mixtures.

If other lubricants are to be used, it should be veri ed beforehand if the two products are compatible.
In case of doubts, the lubricant used up to that moment should be completely eliminated, by means of
a washing procedure of the uid circuit.
To avoid any risk of contamination, the lubrication procedures should be carried out under “absolute
cleanliness” conditions.
All manufacturers of lubricants mentioned in the table offer a technical information service that may
answer all your questions on lubrication.

WARNING on lubricants
The correct use of suitable lubricants considerably helps to obtain the maximum performance and the
elimination of failures.
During the handling of lubricants on equipments, it is essential to strictly comply with the following pre-
cautions, for sanitary protection:

• Avoid any prolonged, excessive or repeated contact of the skin with lubricating products as well as
avoid inhalation of their vapours or fumes.
• Wear suitable clothing and protections to protect the skin (for instance overalls, eyeglasses or, as far
as allowed by the safety rules, protection gloves) or apply a protective product.
• Clean dirty skin carefully by abundantly washing it with water and soap.
• Apply a skin cream after washing.
• Take out and change clothes and shoes soaked with oil.
• Never put oil soaked cloths in one’s pockets.

 Lubricants 8.02

General
Several oils are available on the market and research continuously improves their characteristics and it
changes the names and speci cations.
When the warranty period is over, during which the use of Mattei Rotoroil lubricant is compulsory, the
user can decide to use the oil he believes most suitable or the available one, provided it is suitable for
rotary vane compressors.
Only manufacturers of lubricants can recommend the most suitable oil for the kind of machine and for
its speci c application.
The user should then purchase the lubricant from an oil company or a distributor that guarantees its
suitability for the speci c use.
The cost of the best lubricant is a small percentage of the total running cost of the machine: it is sug-
gested to purchase the best available on the market (see the section “MATTEI LUBRICANTS”).
Please consider that in lubricated and injection cooled compressors the oil performs the listed tasks and
it is subject to continuous working cycles; therefore, it should be highly resistant to oxidation to ensure
long life.
The oil should also provide a good demulsivity.
Anti-oxidizing additives should provide low volatile substances at the compressor operating temperatures,
so as to ensure protection between one oil lling and the other.
The user must adopt the kind of oil grade recommended by Mattei.
Please refer to the speci c table for the choice, according to the operating conditions.

Available oils on the market

There are several kinds of oils on the market, including:
❑ mineral based industrial oils;
❑ synthetic oils.

Mineral based industrial oils

These oils have been designed for different applications and also for some types of compressors.
In this case, too, there are standards specifying their features; please refer to DIN 51506 which classi es
the oils as VB-L, VC-L e VD-L, according to their possibility of working at different temperatures.
The latter is suitable for high temperatures and it is resistant to oxidation caused by the continuous mix-
ing with the air.
ISO 6743-3 classi es oils based on the operating temperature and pressure and, according to this
rule, for rotary vane compressors ISO-L-DAH o DAJ oils are recommended, which are for medium and
heavy applications.
The table indicates some typical values of the main characteristics.”

TI011G0011
 Lubricants 8.03

Synthetic oils

Many synthetic oils with different basis are available on the market (esters, glycols, etc) that sometimes
have proved to be suitable and provide a longer life than mineral oils.
Normally they reduce carbon deposits, provide a high self-ignition temperature and are remarkably
resistant to oxidation.
As synthetic lubricants are good detergents, to change the kind of lubricant in a machine and pass from a
conventional mineral based to a synthetic one, it is necessary to carry out a thorough washing, following
the supplier’s instructions, to avoid damages to the machine if dirt, residues and deposits circulate.
It is also necessary to pay attention to condensate, as usually synthetic lubricants are more sensitive to
water washing and their thin lm may not provide enough protection against rust.
This problem can be worsened if the compressor is not working continuously, but occasionally.
In this case, even though not suggesting its use, any responsibility for the choice is up to the user and
to the lubricant supplier.

WARNING !!!
098

! It is diff cult to determine life of an oil, as there are different parameters affect-
ing the same, among which the operating temperature and quality of the intake
air are very important.
For this reason it is recommended to obtain precise guarantees from the sup-
plier, validated by the analysis of samples taken from the machine, to determine
the suitability of lubricant and its life.

MATTEI LUBRICANTS

Considering the important role of lubricant for operation of the compressor, Mattei offers special lubricants
to the users and recommends their use.

These are:

- Mattei Rotoroil 8000 F2 (synthetic),

- Mattei Rotoroil 8000 F4 (synthetic),
- Mattei Rotoroil 8000 FG (synthetic, non toxic)

available in 2, 5 and 25 litres cans.

Their life can reach the hours shown in the table, depending on the operating temperature and condi-
tions of the intake air.

Safety Precautions

There is a latent risk of re in almost all compressed air systems and ISO 5388 Standard explains the
reasons.
In fact, in compressed air systems both oxygen and oil are always present and are combustible.
Should for any reason oil vapours form, these could burn in presence of a ame; an ignition source may
start a re in case of use of excessive or unsuitable oil, or when neglecting maintenance.
Faulty maintenance has been mentioned, because a dirty radiator may cause a temperature rise, often
quickly, which leads to oil damage and to the creation of deposits.
Such processes are accelerated if unsuitable oil is used.
Based on experience, res are almost never caused by the fact that the oil self-ignition temperature is
reached (340-400 °C).
Usually the cause is that the oil, while decomposing, creates carbon residues that when in contact with
air and high temperature, continue to oxidize and, under special conditions, may ignite. So it is essential
to use suitable lubricants and carry out correct maintenance.

WARNING !!!
098

! It is opportune that to prevent the risk of f res the best attention is given to the
oil choice and to execution of all maintenance operations, and specif cally:

- carry out regular and complete oil changes;

- ascertain that the coolling system is always ef cient, with often checks to the oil temperature;
- verify that protecting devices installed are always in perfect working order;
- keep the oil consumption under control;
- take care of the machine cleaning.

Storage and treatment of oils

Usually lubricant containers are built so as to prevent any contamination.

When the user receives the lubricant, it is under his responsibility to avoid damages or pollution to the
same.

The lubricant may get damaged due to:

- dust and dirt;

- condensate, mainly due to absorbing humidity from the air;
- extreme temperatures;
- mixing with other oil types.

Please note that dirt in the oil reduces its ef ciency and causes wear of those parts it comes into contact
with, therefore there is the need to increase maintenance.
Instead, condensate cancels the effect of some additives, often present in very limited quantities.
Oil containers should be stored in protected rooms, avoiding exposure to extreme temperatures.

WARNING !!!
098

! Absolutely avoid the mixing of oils of a different grade and quality .

Although looking alike, they could not be compatible.
Also beware of oil leaks, not only being a waste, but also polluting, causing falls
or injuries to people and also f res.

 The Electrical Motor 10.01

General

The electric motor characteristics are given on the nameplate xed to the motor itself, and speci cally:

1. Model
2. Serial number
3. Protection degree
4. Insulation class
5. Maximum ambient temperature
6. Service
7. Service factor
8. Supply voltage [V]
9. Frequency [Hz]

11. Power [kW]
12. Power factor [cos _]
13. Rated intensity [A]
14. Motor weight
15. Type of bearings (front and rear)

Lubrication
The same plate also indicates the type of bearings mounted, for which it is recommended to use lithium
based grease for lubrication.
Greasing (where necessary) should be carried out when the motor is running.
The lubrication intervals should never be longer than the solar year.

Cooling
The motor is equipped with a cover and fan, to guarantee proper cooling. Check that dirt does not form
on this cover as it could reduce the cooling air passage.

Abnormal noises
Any vibration or abnormal noise is usually due to deterioration of the bearings. In this case it is rec-
ommended to replace the bearings rather than risking more serious problems to the motor or the ma-
chine.

Electrical checks
If the machine has been stored for a long period or in case of long stops in damp places, it is suggested
to measure the winding insulation value by applying 500 V d.c. voltage for 60 seconds.
The insulation should be at least 10 MΩ (MegaOhms) in warm conditions or 100 MΩ in cold condi-
tions.
Should these values not be detected and in case the motor has been exposed to damp, it is suggested
to dry it for 24 hours in a furnace at 100-110 °C.
If no furnaces are available, please contact the manufacturer.

WARNING !!!
098

! Before starting the machine, verify that the nuts locking the terminals of the
power supply wires are well tightened.

 Storage - Decommissioning
11.01
and dismantling

Storage

The compressor is protected against corrosion and deterioration for the shipment period and for a rela-
tively short (3 months) period of storage.
For any longer periods, please contact the manufacturer, while considering that the maximum time of
24 months.
However, it is suggested to keep the machine in a dry place, protected from atmospheric agents.
In case of damp climates, to protect both the electrical and the mechanical parts, the machine should
be kept in a heated room or closed in a barrier- bag with heaters or light bulbs.
For the motor speci cally, please refer to that which has been indicated on the winding insulation.

Decommissioning

Decommissioning the machine does not imply special precautions but for the collection of the oil contained
in the machine and the lubrication system components, i.e. the oil lter and the oil-air separators.

WARNING !!!

Both these elements and the oil should be collected and dumped in compliance with
098

the current regulations on the environment in order to avoid any pollution and danger
! of f re.

Dismantling

Once the machine has reached the end of its technical and operating life, it can be demolished, i.e.
decommissioned and put in such a condition so as not to be used any longer for the purposes it was
designed and built, with the possible recycling of raw materials.

NOTE
Ing. ENEA MATTEI S.p.A. denies all responsibility for damage to people or things that may derive from
the recycling of individual parts of the machine for functions or assembly situations different from the
original ones.
Ing. ENEA MATTEI S.p.A. declines any acknowledgement, be it implicit or explicit, of the suitability to
speci c purposes of parts of the machine reused after the nal dismantling the machine.
