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.
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.
