Cyclon Series User Manual
If the compressor is to be coupled in parallel with
another compressor or connected to an existing air
supply system, additional steps must be taken as
set out in the ‘Safety Procedures’ section of this
manual.
If air usage is intermittent or rapidly fluctuating so
that the instantaneous demand for air is likely to
exceed the compressor output rating, and if the
volume of the user’s pipework is small, it will be
necessary to install a receiver of appropriate
capacity.
As a guide, if the volume of the user’s pipework is
less than 1 m
3
a receiver of 875 litres minimum
capacity should be installed.
To maintain rigidity during shipment, transportation
fixings (painted red) are fitted to the drive module,
for removal after installation.
2. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
The following procedure gives guidance for
installing a standard compressor unit. For the
installation details for non-standard units or units
equipped with optional equipment refer to the local
CompAir BroomWade distributor.
1. Using a fork lift, lift the compressor unit and
move it into position.
Note 1: If the unit is to be located in a RH corner
carry out items 5 and 6 before moving into position.
Note 2: The use of a pallet truck is not
recommended..
2. Lower the unit into place and check that it
settles level to within 3 mm, using suitable
packing pieces under the baseframe if
necessary.
3 Release
1
/4 turn fasteners and remove the
enclosure panels and packaging material to
give access to the compressor.
4. Remove the transportation fixings (painted
red) from the drive module. Remove all
protective blanking covers and tapes.
5. A gland plate is fitted to the RH side of the
starter box. Open the starter door and rotate
the gland plate to the appropriate gland size,
or remove the plate and and drill a hole to the
required size in the spare space.
6. Make sure that the power supply to the
compressor is taken from a fused isolator.
The switch must be locked ‘OFF’ and the
fuses removed.
Connect the power supply to the compressor
in accordance with the diagram supplied,
using cables which comply with the standards
of the International Electrotechnical
Commission (I.E.C.) or local regulations.
Pass the cable through the hole in the outer
panel, then through the gland and gland plate
before connection to the starter.
7. Connect the air delivery pipe to the user’s
pipework through an isolating shut-off valve.
8. Position the exhaust panel, blank panel and
splitters between the top and bottom end
panels. Reposition the splitters to discharge
vertically or horizontally as required. Secure
the fasteners.
9. Refit the starter compartment top cover and
enclosure panels, or close the starter door.
