3. Positioning:
• Keep a minimum clearance of 800mm from any obstacle to guarantee good ventilation during the operation
and access for the operator, and to facilitate cleaning and maintenance services.
4. Electrical connection:
• Consult a specialized technician to evaluate the general conditions of the electrical network and select the
proper electrical devices for supply, connection (Figure 8.1) and protection.
• The local Norm for low voltage installations must be followed, according to the installation's location and
country.
• The electrical wires must be dimensioned according to the motor power, electrical network voltage and
distance from the energy source (orientations in Table 8.1) to the motor, connected to the voltage (V), as
indicated on the tag on the electric motor or power cord.
• Before connecting the equipment to the electrical supply, check if the compressor's voltage matches the
local voltage.
• Do not wet the electric components, since water may cause short-circuit and component burning or electri-
cal shock.
• For safety and warranty of the electric motor, the orientation on Figure 8.2 must be followed. The non-
-compliance might cause the motor to burn out and warranty loss.
•
Grounding instructions: this product must be grounded. In case of short circuit, grounding reduces the
risk of electric shock through a discharge path of the electric current. Therefore, connect the grounding wire
to the motor's terminal or, if there is no terminal, to the motor's housing.
ATTENTION
Whenever connector or cable repair or replacement is needed, do not plug conductor/connector to any feeding
conductors. The grounding conductor - one with green covering, with or without yellow stripes - is suitable
exclusively for grounding. If there is any doubt regarding this information, or about whether the product is ade-
quately grounded, consult an expert electrician (one who is acquainted with electrical installation standards).
