4. Installation –Operation
General Specifications 
High pressure compressors are complete units for filling cylinders with compressed air at 225 bar (3200
psi) and 330 bar (4700 psi). They are mostly used for compressing breathing air for divers, fire brigades,
military, paint ball applications, etc.
Typhoon Open is a 3 staged, piston, air cooled compressor with 3 cylinders, 2 intercoolers and 1 final
aftercooler, condensate separator after the second stage aftercooler, accompanied with automatic and
manual drain, mechanical safety valves as well as two (2) filtering stages at the final pressure (after the
third stage):
The first filter contains an element for retaining particles and oil droplets down to 0.01 ppm (Coalescing
element). Then there is the second and final stage of dehumidification with Molecular Sieve and air
purification with Activated Carbon.
The Final stage for Paint Ball application consists of two (2) Molecular Sieve Filters.
Installation - First start of the compressor 
All compressors are tested and pre-adjusted by the manufacturer before they are shipped to the buyer.
They can start their operation immediately on the following conditions that are considered necessary, for
safety and ease.
Anyone who will be handling the unit must read carefully all contents of this manual so as to have full
knowledge of the product.
1. Choose carefully the installation place of the compressor. The place must not be burdened by
unfavorable environmental conditions (toxic substances –explosives –fumes –dirt –debris etc.
2. Place the compressor in a well ventilated area. Make sure that the intake air for the compressor is
clean and cool. Prevent the hot cooling air from recirculating to the cooling air intake. Make
sure that foreign objects cannot get into the compressor with the intake air. Make sure that the
intake air does not contain any smells, fuel or fumes, explosive or inflammable gases or harmful
substances.
3. Turn the compressor using the fly-pulley and make sure it turns freely. Do the same after overhaul
of the unit or a long-term out of service period.
4. Before any start of the compressor, check oil level. It should be between the minimum and
maximum limit.
5. The compressor should be placed in a completely horizontal position. If during operation there are
vibrations, adjust the anti-vibration pads of the stand until vibrations are minimized.
6. During every start of the compressor, in versions without auto drains, open only the drain
valve of the 3rd stage. Then during the regular operation of the compressor open both 2nd
and 3rd stage drain valves every 15 minutes.
ATTENTION:
Larger oil quantity may increase pressures inside the block, cause leaks of larger oil quantity in the
pneumatic air resulting in the creation of chars in the valves, burden the filters and affect their life duration,
as well as the quality of breathing air.
Smaller amount of oil means inadequate lubrication affecting the life duration of the compressor.

Cylinder filling procedure 
Make sure that filling hoses as well as threads are in perfect condition without cracks or breaks.
Filling hose connectors should be connected on the cylinder without the use of tools. Sealing is achieved
with o-ring and internal pressure. The filling hose connectors used for filling cylinders up to 220 bar are
divided in two categories:
Filling hose connector according to DIN 477
INTERNATIONAL / ‘’A’’ Clamp Adaptor
For pressures at 330 bar, only the use of filling hose connector according to DIN 477 (with different thread
than the one at 220 bar) is allowed. Use of any kind of adaptor is strictly forbidden.
Use cylinders that correspond to the pressures produced by the compressor
Check the cylinder safety pressure (220 or 330 bar) so as to correspond to the preset final pressure of the
compressor.
Connect the cylinder, having the filling hose connector’s valve and the cylinder’s valve turned off, and start
the compressor (see page 8).
Then, first turn on the filling hose connector’s valve and then the one of the cylinder.

When filling is complete, first turn off the cylinder’s valve and then the filling hose connector’s valve and
proceed to evaporation using the relief valve on the connector. Finally, safely disconnect the cylinder.
During the filling procedure, cylinder’s temperature will rise. Let it cool down. Pressure will fall a little. If
you wish, reconnect the cylinder with the filling hose (following the same procedure) and fill until the
maximum filling pressure.
Never open the filling hose connector valve, unless the cylinder is connected to the filling
hose. Hose whipping due to pressurized air out system can cause serious injury!
Automatic stop system
Standard equipment in all electrical versions.
Optional equipment in petrol and diesel versions.
When the pressure reaches the pre-adjusted final level the compressor stops automatically {through the
pressure switch (1)}. The restart of the compressor must be done manually.
Max. operating pressure 350 bar.
Dual pressure filling module
Optional equipment.
It controls the pressure through a pressure regulator (1) (0-345 bar outlet pressure) and gives the
