7. INITIAL STARTUP PROCEDURE
After location, compressor installation over the dampers, power network installation, according to the safety
instructions, installation of protection electric devices and compressed air network procedures are completed (by
the client), perform the following procedures:
1.
Check oil level (Figure 8.6) (For oiled compressors).
2.
Verify the tension of the belt, according to the instructions in Chapter 8 - PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE.
3.
Verify the compressor's accessories and connections. Make sure that they were not damaged during trans-
port.
4.
Fully open the shut off valve (models with tank) or outlet nozzle without the hose (models AD, ADS, AD-A)
5.
Turn electric motor starter switch on and check if the spinning follows the arrow located at the wheel / belt
protector. If it does not, disconnect the equipment from the power supply and invert its main cable. Connect
the equipment to the power again.
6.
For products with Soft-Starter Control Panel, if phase sequence is not correct, MMI will show E011. In this
case, invert two feeding conductors according to the orientation given in the previous step.
7.
Let the compressor run for about 10 (ten) minutes, in order to allow homogeneous lubrication of moving
parts.
8.
Close the register completely so the compressor may fill up the tank. Compressors will automatically shut
down (because of the pressure switch) or will enter standby mode (because of the solenoid /discharge val-
ves, when the manometer shows the product's maximum work pressure.
9.
Slowly open the register to release compressed air from the inside of the tank, lowering its internal pressure.
Compressor will automatically restart (due to pressure switch) or will return to compression (due to dischar-
ge/solenoid valves), when the manometer indicates minimum working pressure.
10.
Check safety valve functioning (Figure 8.1) with the product turned off and with the tank without pressure,
to avoid accidents.
11.
Check manual or automatic purger functioning (Figure 8.2) (time button setting at the purger or parameter
P100 and P101, setting, according to product version).
12.
For dual functioning products (CSW 40, CSWV 60, CSWV 80 and CSWV 120) also set parameter P102 accor-
ding to your need (the greater the time period set, the smaller is the number of starts the compressor will
perform per hour). For more information, consult the starter switch manual.
13.
Open the register slowly to totally empty the tank and then close it.
14.
Your SCHULZ compressor is ready for use. Connect it to the air distribution network and turn the start switch
on
. When the compressor reaches maximum pressure, open the register slowly for the air to flow to the
distribution network. Check if there are leaks along the tubing using a soap and water solution and eliminate
any leak found.
Notes:
• Initial startup procedure must be repeated whenever there is compressor maintenance or location change.
• For the models version Direct Air (AD) items 8, 9, 11, 12 and 13 are not valid.
