8. INSTALLATION

1. Location
Install the compressor in a covered area, well ventilated and free of dust, gases, toxic gases, chemical products humidity or any other kind
of pollution.
The noise level of the compressor, measured in an open space, may rise considerably if the installation place is surrounded by walls that
reflect sound. This equipment must not be installed where inadvertent people may have access to. Observe this aspect when choosing the
best place for installation.
The maximum ambient temperature recommended for operation is 40°C. If the ambient temperature is higher, exhaust fans or other means
to lower the temperature must be provided. The lower the ambient temperature is better for compressor working conditions. The presence
of contaminants (dust, fibers, chemical products, etc.) suspended in the air, can cause premature saturation of the air filter and radiator
honeycomb core (See Preventive Maintenance section).
It is important to emphasize that chemical products can be absorbed by the air filter, contaminating the oil and causing lubrication problems,
compromising the quality of compressed air, as well as damaging the external and/or peripheral components of the compressor, be they
mechanical, electrical or electronic.
In order to reduce the noise level of the compressor, an acoustic project should be adopted.
ATTENTION
2. Positioning and Dimensions
Observe a minimum clearance, as indicated in Figures 6.1 and 6.2, from any obstacle in order to facilitate maintenance jobs.
It is recommended the installation of a guard around the compressor so as to set the free space and reduce people's contact with the equi-
pment. The products feature transverse bars at the air tank feet for transportation of the product by forklift. (See figures 7.1 to 7.5)
3. Foundation / Package
IInstall the compressor removing the accessory for transportation (base) and place it on a leveled concrete floor. It is necessary to install
vibration dampers in the compressor SRP3005 up to SRP3040 and the other compressors, it is recommended. Do not fasten the compres-
sor on the floor.
4. Electrical installation
Refer to a specialized technician to evaluate the general conditions of the power line and select the proper power supply and protection
devices.
The recommendations local Standards for Low Voltage Electric Installation must be observed.
The power supply cables should be dimensioned, taking into account the capacity of the start switch of the compressor and the distance
from the power source (See Table 8.1).
ATTENTION
load. The power line must not present voltage variation over 10%. The voltage drop generated by the start peak must not be over 10%.
The power line must not present voltage variation over ±10%.
The voltage drop generated by the start peak must not be over 10%.
The electric panel of the compressor has a terminal block for adaptation of remote activation (see the electric diagram).
The start switch features an overload relay for protection of the motor of the compressor and of the fan.
For your safety, the frame of the compressor must be properly connected to the ground wire.
The electric power supply should be protected with NH-type or Diazed (delayed) fuses, installed close to the compressor (see Table 6.1).
In figure 8.1 and 8.2 you will find the directions and diagram (A) for the installation of the capacitor bank.
Terminal block - Power supply: powers the compressor according to the rating voltage, indicated in the start switch housing (refer to the
electric diagram).
Terminal block - Command power supply: the power supply of the command must be separate from the drive power supply (refer to the
electric diagram).
Do not install the compressor in chemically contaminated areas.
Check the capacity of the transformer to stand the installed power rating of the compressor. If you do not
have your own transformer, you must evaluate if the main and principal circuit breakers hold the increase of
