A SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

To be read attentively and acted upon accordingly before installing, operating or repairing the
unit.

These recommendations apply to machinery processing or consuming air or inert gas. Processing of
any other gas requires additional safety precautions typical to the application, which are not included
herein.

In addition to normal safety rules, which should be observed with stationary air compressors and
equipment, the following safety directions and precautions are of special importance.

When operating this unit, the operator must employ safe working practices and observe all related
local work safety requirements and ordinances.

The owner is responsible for maintaining the unit in a safe operating condition. Parts and accessories
shall be replaced if unsuitable for safe operation.

Installation, operation, maintenance and repair shall only be performed by authorized, trained and
competent personnel.

Normal ratings (pressures, temperatures, time settings, etc.) shall be durably marked.

Any modification on the compressor shall only be performed in agreement with Atlas Copco and under
supervision of authorized and competent personnel.

If any statement in this book, especially with regard to safety, does not comply with local
legislation, the stricter of the two shall apply.

These precautions are general and cover several machine types and equipment; hence some
statements may not apply to the unit(s) described in this book.

Installation
Apart from general engineering practice in conformity with the local safety regulations, the following
directives are specially stressed:

1. A compressor shall be lifted only with adequate equipment in conformity with local safety rules.
Loose or pivoting parts shall be securely fastened before lifting. It is strictly forbidden to dwell or
stay in the risk zone under a lifted load. Lifting acceleration and retardation shall be kept within
safe limits.
Wear a safety helmet when working in the area of overhead or lifting equipment.
2. Any blanking flanges, plugs, caps and desiccant bags shall be removed before connecting up the
pipes. Distribution pipes and connections shall be of correct size and suitable for the working
pressure.
3. Place the unit where the ambient air is as cool and clean as possible. If necessary, install a
suction duct. Never obstruct the air inlet. Care shall be taken to minimize the entry of moisture
with the inlet air.
4. The aspirated air shall be free from flammable fumes or vapours, e.g. paint solvents, that can lead
to internal fire or explosion.
5. Air-cooled units shall be installed in such a way that an adequate flow of cooling air is available
and that the exhausted air does not recirculate to the inlet.
6. Arrange the air intake so that loose clothing of people cannot be sucked in.
7. Ensure that the discharge pipe from the compressor to the aftercooler, air dryer or air net is free to
expand under heat and that it is not in contact with or close to flammable material.
8. No external force may be exerted on the air outlet valve; the connected pipe must be free of strain.

 Addendum to the Instruction Manual

9. If remote control is installed, the unit shall bear an obvious sign reading:

DANGER: This machine is remotely controlled and may start without warning.

As a further safeguard, persons switching on remotely controlled units shall take adequate
precautions to ensure that there is no one checking or working on the machine. To this end, a
suitable notice shall be affixed to the start equipment.

10. On units with automatic start-stop system, a sign stating "This machine may start without
warning" shall be attached near the instrument panel.
11. In multiple compressor systems manual valves shall be installed to isolate each compressor. Non-
return valves (check valves) shall not be relied upon for isolating pressure systems.
12. Never remove or tamper with the safety devices, guards or insulations fitted on the unit. Every
pressure vessel or auxiliary installed outside the unit to contain air above atmospheric pressure
shall be protected by a pressure-relieving device or devices as required.
13. Pipework or other parts with a temperature in excess of 80 degrees Celsius and which may be
accidentally touched by personnel in normal operation shall be guarded or insulated. Other high-
temperature pipework shall be clearly marked.
14. If the ground is not level or can be subject to variable inclination, consult Atlas Copco.
15. The electrical connections shall correspond to the local codes. The units shall be grounded and
protected against short circuits by fuses.

Operation
1. Air hoses shall be of correct size and suitable for the working pressure. Never use frayed,
damaged or deteriorated hoses. Use only the correct type and size of hose end fittings and
connections. When blowing through a hose or air line, ensure that the open end is held securely.
A free end will whip and may cause injury. Make sure that a hose is fully depressurized before
disconnecting it.
Never play with compressed air. Do not apply it to your skin or direct an air stream at people.
Never use it to clean dirt from your clothes. When using it to clean equipment, do so with extreme
caution and use eye protection.
2. The compressor is not considered as capable of producing air of breathing quality. For breathing
air quality, the compressed air must be adequately purified according to local legislation and
standards.
3. Never operate the unit when there is a possibility of taking in flammable or toxic fumes.
4. Never operate the unit at pressures below or in excess of its limit ratings as indicated on the
Principal Data sheet.

1 General description
In general, the regulator has following functions:
- controlling the compressor
- protecting the compressor
- monitoring components subject to service
- automatic restart after voltage failure (made inactive)
- permissive start (GA/GR compressors)

1.1 Controlling the compressor

The regulator maintains the net pressure between programmable limits by automatically loading and
unloading the compressor depending on the air consumption. 1)

The regulator takes into account a number of programmable settings, such as:
- the unloading pressure
- the loading pressure
- the minimum stop time
- the maximum number of motor starts

The regulator stops the compressor whenever possible (when the expected unloading period exceeds a
programmed value) to reduce the power consumption and restarts it automatically when the net
pressure decreases. In case the expected unloading period is below a programmed value, the
regulator keeps the compressor running to prevent too-short standstill periods.

When the compressor has stopped automatically and the net pressure decreases, the regulator will
start the compressor before the net pressure has dropped to the loading pressure to prevent the net
pressure from falling under the programmed minimum level.

When stopping the compressor manually, the regulator will unload the compressor for a programmed
time and then stop the compressor. 2)

1.2 Protecting the compressor

1.2.1 Shut-down and fan motor overload
Several temperature and pressure sensors are provided on the compressor. If one of these
measurements exceeds the programmed shut-down level, the compressor will be stopped. This will be
indicated on the control display.

Depending on the compressor type, the compressor will also be shut down by the regulator in case of
overload of the dryer motor or fan motors.

1) For ZE and ZA without full-load/no-load regulator, the settings for unloading and loading the
compressor are not programmable; consequently, these parameters are not taken into account.
2) GA90/315 and GR110/200 have an unloading time of 30 seconds; for Z compressors this period
is 3 seconds.
If a compressor with 30 seconds unloading time was running at the moment of manually stopping
in automatic unloading condition for 10 seconds, it will remain running unloaded for 30 - 10 = 20
seconds before stopping.

2920 1478 02 4
Instruction book

1.2.2 Shut-down warning

If the regulator detects a temperature or pressure just below the programmed shut-down level, this will
be indicated on the control panel to warn the operator before the shut-down level is reached. The
message disappears as soon as the warning condition disappears.

1.2.3 Warning
Depending on the compressor type, a warning message appears in case the dewpoint temperature
exceeds the warning level (Full-Feature compressors).

1.3 Service warning

A number of service operations are grouped in plans (called Service plans A, B, C…). Each Service
plan has a programmed time interval. If a time interval is exceeded, a message will appear on display
(3-Fig. 2.1) to warn the operator to carry out the service actions belonging to that plan.

1.4 Automatic restart after voltage failure

The regulator has a built-in function to automatically restart the compressor if the voltage is restored
after voltage failure. For compressors leaving the factory, this function is made inactive. If desired,
the function can be activated. Consult Atlas Copco.

Warning
If activated and provided the module was in the automatic operation mode, the compressor will
automatically restart if the supply voltage to the module is restored within a programmed time period.

The power recovery time (the period within which the voltage must be restored to have an automatic
restart) can be set between 15 and 3600 seconds or to Infinite. If the power recovery time is set to
Infinite, the compressor will always restart after a voltage failure, no matter how long it takes to restore
the voltage. A restart delay can also be programmed, allowing e.g. two compressors to be restarted
one after the other.

1.5 Permissive start

After a start command (either automatic start by the Elektronikon regulator or manual start), the start
conditions are checked; if the programmed start conditions are not fulfilled within a programmed time
interval, the compressor will not start (indicated as Start failure).

1.6 Start commands during programmed stop time and minimum stop time

Programmed stop time

After pressing stop button (1-Fig. 2.1), the compressor will run unloaded for a programmed time
period. The compressor then stops. A start command during this period is ignored.

Minimum stop time

After stopping, the module prevents the motor from restarting within a programmed time period. A
start command during this time will be memorized and executed after running out of this period.

ARAVF - Power recovery time

If desired, the ARAVF (Automatic Restart After Voltage Function) can be activated by Atlas Copco. The power
recovery time is the period within which the voltage must be restored to have an automatic restart.
Consult section 1.4 for more information.

Shut-down – shut-down warning

The regulator does not accept illogical settings, e.g. if the warning level is programmed at 100 °C, the minimum
limit for the shut-down level changes to 101 °C. The recommended difference between the warning level and
shut-down level is equal to the difference of the stated nominal values. Consult section 1.2 for more
information.

Delay at signal
Is the time period during which the warning signal must exist before the warning message appears.

Delay at starting
Is the time period during which the warning signal is ignored after starting.

Service plans
Always consult Atlas Copco in case any timer setting should be changed.
Consult section 12 for more information.

Unloading pressure/loading pressure

For ZE/ZA3/4 and ZA5/6, the settings are valid for compressors with full-load/no-load valve. Consult Atlas
Copco for compressors without full-load/no-load valve.
