produced must be discharged at least once a day. If an automatic drain fitted to the air receiver is present, it is
necessary to check that it is working correctly every week and repair it if necessary.
- The thickness of the receiver must be checked every year and also in accordance with legislation in force in
the country where the receiver is installed.
- The tank cannot be used and must be replaced if the thickness falls below the minimum level given in the
instruction documents for the tank.
- The tank can be used within the temperature limits given in the conformity declaration.
- The safety valves of the air receiver and oil receiver must be checked every year and replaced in
accordance with legislation in force.

NOT RESPECTING THE ABOVE MENTIONED PRESCRIPTION CAN RESULT IN AIR RECEIVER

ENGLISH

1.0 GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS


The compressor units use single-stage screw rotary air compressors with oil injection.
The central unit comprises:
compressor, drier, steam trap, storage tank.
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)
2.0 INTENDED USE
The compressor has been built to supply compressed air for industrial use.
The machine cannot be used in premises where there is a risk of fire or explosion or where work is carried out which releases substances
into the environment which are dangerous with regard to safety (for example: solvents, inflammable vapours, alcohol, etc.).
In particular the appliance cannot be used to produce air to be breathed by humans or used on direct contact with foodstuffs. These uses
are allowed if the compressed air produced is filtered by means of a suitable filtering system (Consult the manufacturer for these special
uses.) This appliance must be used only for the purpose for which it was specifically designed.
All other uses are to be considered incorrect and therefore unreasonable.
The Manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage resulting from improper, incorrect or unreasonable use.
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 air taken in is filtered by two panel pre-filter placed on the side
conveyor external and by the filter cartridge fitted upstream from the suction 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. At this point the two flows (of oil and air) are sent to two
separate coolers where they are cooled, using a flow of air taken from the environment by a special fan inside the machine.
The cooled oil returns to the circuit while the compressed air passes the using network.
3.2 OPERATION FOR DRYER
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 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 and therefore no further calibrations are required.

4.0 GENERAL SAFETY STANDARDS


The appliance may be used only by specially trained and authorized personnel.
Any tampering with the machine or alterations not approved beforehand by the Manufacturer relieve the latter of responsibility for any
damage resulting from the above actions.
The removal of or tampering with the safety devices constitutes a violation of the European Standards on safety.

ENSURE THAT THERE ARE DISCONNECTOR SWITCH AND FUSES UPSTREAM THE MACHINE. FOR DETAILS (SIZE AND TYPE)
SEE WIRING/SERVICE DIAGRAM.

ALL WORK ON THE ELECTRIC PLANT, HOWERE SLIGHT, MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY

14.4 GRAPHIC CONTROLLER (option for fixed speed compressor).

Introduction
The electronic controller has following functions:
 Controlling the compressor
 Protecting the compressor
 Monitoring components subject to service
 Automatic restart after voltage failure (option)

Automatic control of the compressor


The controller maintains the net pressure between programmable limits by automatically loading and unloading the compressor. A number
of programmable settings, e.g. the unloading and loading pressures, the minimum stop time and the maximum number of motor starts are
taken into account.
The controller stops the compressor whenever possible to reduce the power consumption and restarts it automatically when the net
pressure decreases. If the expected unloading period is to short, the compressor is kept running to prevent too short stand-still periods.

Protecting the compressor


Shut-down
The compressor will be stopped and it will be indicated on the display in the following events:
 compressor element outlet temperature bigger than the programmed shut-down level detected by temperature sensor
 compressor element outlet temperature bigger than the programmed shut-down level detected by temperature switch
 overload of the drive motor
 Additional thermostat operation.
 Pressure sensor error.
 Pressure sensor error, on output from the compressor unit
In chapter “Shut-down visualization” it’s explained how it appears on the display, how to recognize which is the shut-down and how to solve
it.

Shut-down warning
A shut-down warning level is a programmable level below the shut-down level. If one of the measurements exceeds the programmed shut-
down warning level, this will also be indicated to warn the operator before the shut-down level is reached.The shut-down warning appears in
case of:
 Too high temperature at the compressor element outlet
 Too high dew-point temperature for dryer equipped units.
In chapter “Shut-down warinig visualization” it’s explained how it appears on the display, how to recognize which is the warning and how to
solve it.

Service warning
If the service timer exceeds a programmed value, this will be indicated on the display to warn the operator to carry out some service actions.

Automatic restart after voltage failure (ARAVF)


The controller has a built-in function to automatically restart the compressor when the voltage is restored after voltage failure.
The function is not active and to activate it please contact the customer centre.

Provided the controller is in the automatic restart mode, the compressor will automatically restart when the
supply voltage to the module is restored.(after a delay of 60 seconds)

Example for service level (A): the figures at the left are the programmed service intervals. For Service interval A, the programmed number of
running hours is 4000 hours (upper row, green) and the programmed number of real time hours is 8760 hours, which corresponds to one
year (second row, blue). This means that the controller will launch a service warning when either 4000 running hours or 8760 real hours are
reached, whichever comes first. Note that the real time hours counter keeps counting, also when the controller is not powered.
The figures at the end of the bars are the number of hours to go till the next service intervention. In the example above, the compressor was
just started up, which means it still has 4000 running hours or 8299 hours to go before the next Service intervention.

Service plans
A number of service operations are grouped (called Level A, Level B, etc...). Each level stands for a number of service actions to be carried
out at the time intervals programmed in the controller.

Terminology
Term Explanation
ARAVF Automatic restart after voltage failure.
Power recovery time Is the period within which the voltage must be restored to have an automatic restart. Is accessible if the automatic
restart is activated. To activate the automatic restart function, consult your supplier.

Restart delay This parameter allows to programme that not all compressors are restarted at the same time after a power failure
(ARAVF active).
Compressor element outlet The regulator does not accept inconsistent settings, e.g. if the warning level is programmed
at 95 ˚C (203 ˚F), the minimum limit for the shut-down level changes to 96 ˚C (204 ˚F). The
recommended difference between the warning level and shut-down level is 10 ˚C (18 ˚F).

Delay at shut- down signal Is the time for which the signal must exist before the compressor is shut down. If it is required to program this
setting to another value, consult your supplier.
Minimum stop time Once the compressor has automatically stopped, it will remain stopped for the minimum stop time, whatever
happens with the net air pressure. Consult your supplier if a setting lower than 20 seconds is required.

Unloading/ Loading The regulator does not accept illogical settings, e.g. if the unloading pressure is programmed at 7.0 bar(e) (101
pressure psi(g)), the maximum limit for the loading pressure changes to 6.9 bar(e) (100 psi(g)). The recommended
minimum pressure difference between loading and unloading is 0.6 bar (9 psi(g)).

15.3 DRAINING CONDENSATE FROM THE OIL TANK
If the compressor work cycle contemplates long pauses during which the machine cools down, a certain amount of condensate will gather in
the oil tank. This happens, for example, when stopping overnight or at weekends.
The condensate must be drained off every 50 hours or every week. This operation may be performed only when the machine is cold, that is
when it has been switched off for at least 8 hours.
BEFORE DRAINING THE CONDENSATE IT IS OBLIGATORY TO STOP THE MACHINE AND DISCONNECT IT FROM THE
POWER MAINS.
Proceed as follows:
- Switch off the machine with pushbutton Ref. 1 Fig. 18: in this way the machine stops after 45 seconds of idle running.
- Disconnect the power supply by means of the disconnector switch, Ref. 3 Fig. 18 (screw-compressor) and Ref. 3A Fig. 18 (on the dryer if fitted).

4 3A FIG. 18

3A

- Wait for the machine to cool down.


- Remove the panels Ref. 4 Fig. 18 with the key provided.
- SLOWLY turn on the tap Ref. 5 Fig. 18 and let the condensate flow out.
- When the first traces of oil appear, turn off the tap.

CONDENSATE MUST BE DISPOSED OF IN CONFORMITY WITH THE LOCAL REGULATIONS IN FORCE.

22.0 CHANGING THE OIL


BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY MAINTENANCE JOBS IT IS OBLIGATORY TO STOP THE MACHINE AND 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. 2 Fig. 27.
- Completely fill the oil collector Ref. 1 Fig. 27.
- Pour a little oil into the suction unit.
- Start the compressor.
- After about 1 minute switch off the machine by pressing “STOP” (Ref. 3 Fig. 27) after 45 seconds of idle running the machine will switch
off.
PROCEED AS DESCRIBED AT POINT CHAPTER 15.4

FIG. 27

OIL

2 3

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) or
in particularly severe conditions, we advise changing the oil at shorter intervals than those recommended in the maintenance chart.
DO NOT TOP UP WITH DIFFERENT OILS
