The compressor described in this manual is
only suitable for the compression of
atmospheric air up to the maximum pressure
stated on the identification plate.
The compressor is an 'industrial' type, to be
used in accordance with the technical
specifications of the compressor itself.
The compressor works automatically and no
specific operator is required. However, the
unit must be supervised in use and must have
all routine maintenance carried out by an
expert technician, who should be familiar with
all aspects of its operation and safety outlined
in this manual.
The compressor is designed exclusively for
operation connected to an approved air
reservoir of suitable capacity (at least 200 lt.)

during normal operation. If chlorinated
hydrocarbon nonflammable fluids are used for
cleaning, safety precautions must be taken
against any toxic vapours which may be
released.
Do not use carbon tetrachloride.
Precautions must be taken when using acids,
alkalis and chemical detergents for cleaning
machine parts and components. These
materials cause irritation and are corrosive to
the skin, eyes, nose and throat. Avoid
splashes and wear suitable protective clothing
and goggles. Do not breathe mists. Ensure
that water and soap are readily available.
When disposing of used filter elements and
other parts and waste material of any kind,
make sure that there is no pollution and that
no burning of waste takes place which could
cause pollution of the air. Protect the
environment by using only approved methods
of disposal.
2.7 Precautions In The Event Of Fire

Use extreme caution when handling
components that have been subjected to fire
or very high temperatures. Some components
may contain fluoroelastomer materials which
decompose under these conditions to form
highly corrosive residues. Skin contact can
cause painful and penetrating burns resulting
in permanent skin and tissue damage.
2.8 Disposal
When items of equipment are taken out of
service for disposal it is recommended that
the following instructions are adhered to:
a) In order to prohibit the bringing back into
service of equipment by persons unknown, it
should be rendered unusable in order to avoid
improper re-use.
b) Alternatively all such items of equipment
should be stripped into their component form

Should the oil temperature be above the
desired running temperature, the separated oil
will pass through a thermostat-controlled
air-blast oil cooler. Should this not be the
case, it will be bypassed directly into the air
end to start a new cycle of lubrication and
cooling.
The air for the cooler is also used to cool the
motor. It is drawn through the compressor
canopy via a fan driven directly by the motor.

4.3 Regulation System (Only for

Version with AirBASIC Controller)
The compressor is specifically designed to
operate automatically according to the control
algorithm implemented into the AirBASIC
controller.
When the button ON is pushed, the
compressor starts off in sequence with the
Star/Delta function.
Once the Star/Delta transition has been
completed, the timer counts a 2 seconds
delay at the end of which the electric valve in
activated and the compressor passes to the
load phase.
When the pressure reaches the Pmax,
intervenes the pressure switch and the
controller turns off the motor.
If the pressure goes below the Pmin, the
controller makes the motor re-start.
4.4 Pressure Switch Setting

The pressure switch controls the load/unload
operation of the compressor.
The set-up of the pressure switch is done by
CompAir.
If it is necessary to modify the pressure switch
setting, contact CompAir authorised
distributor.
Its prohibited setting the pressure switch at
pressure over 10 bar.

11.1 General SYMBOL DESCRIPTION
The units described in this chapter are

termed dryers. Unit air inlet
They are designed to remove the moisture

from a flow of compressed gas.
The dryers are equipped with a refrigerant
circuit that is designed to cool the compressed Condensate drain
air to a temperature designated pressurised
dew point.
Since, in the majority of applications, the gas
to be dried is compressed air, hereinafter the Direction of fan rotation
(air-cooled models)
term compressed air is used for the sake of
simplicity, even though the specific gas in an
individual application may be different. Do not use fork lift truck
Hereinafter the expression pressure is used where this symbol appears
to indicate relative (gauge) pressure.
General symbols are to be found on the
decals affixed to the unit and also in the
dimensional drawings and refrigerant circuit Electric shock hazard
diagrams in this manual. The meaning of each
symbol is indicated in fig. 11.1.
This manual, which is addressed to users,
installers, and service personnel, supplies all
the technical information required to install Unit air outlet
and work with the dryer and to perform the
routine maintenance operations required to
ensure a long working life.

11.3.2 Performance data

a) The performance of the dryer (dew point, power consumption, pressure drops, etc.) depends mainly on
the flow rate and pressure of the compressed gas to be dried and on the condenser cooling fluid
temperature (ambient temperature). These data, which are usually defined at the time of the offer,
constitute the basic point of reference in relation to dryer performance.
b) Sound Level Measurements
The noise emission values measured are below 70 dB(A).
