Important note
1.2 Safety precautions during installation
1. Install the equipment where the ambient air is cool and as clean as possible. Consult section
Reference conditions and limitations.
2. During installation or any other intervention on the equipment or one of the connected
machines, the machines must be stopped, de-energized and the isolating switch opened
and locked before any maintenance or repair. As a further safeguard, persons switching on
remotely controlled machines 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.
3. Install the equipment in an area free of flammable fumes, vapours and particles, e.g. paint
solvents, that can lead to internal fire or explosion.
4. The electrical connections must correspond to the applicable codes. The equipment must be
earthed and protected against short circuits by fuses in all phases. A lockable power
isolating switch must be installed near the equipment.
5. For machines controlled by a central control system, a sign stating "This machine may start
without warning" must be affixed near the instrument panel.
6. In multiple compressor systems, manual valves must be installed to isolate each
compressor. Non-return valves (check valves) must not be relied upon for isolating pressure
systems.
7. Never remove or tamper with the safety devices.
8. If the maximum pressure of the compressor is higher than the design pressure of the
connected equipment (e.g. a nitrogen generator or an oxygen generator), a full flow safety
valve must be installed between the compressor and the connected equipment, in order to
be able to blow off the excessive pressure.
Also consult following safety precautions: Safety precautions during operation and
Safety precautions during maintenance or repair.
These precautions apply to electrical devices.
For precautions applying to the connected equipment consult the relevant instruction
book.
Some precautions are general and cover several machine types and equipment; hence
some statements may not apply to your device.

1.3 Safety precautions during operation
All responsibility for any damage or injury resulting from neglecting these precautions, or
non-observance of the normal caution and care required for installation, operation,
maintenance and repair, even if not expressly stated, will be disclaimed by the
manufacturer.
1. Persons switching on remotely controlled machines 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 remote start equipment.
2. Never operate the device in the presence of flammable or toxic fumes, vapours or particles.
3. Never operate the device below or in excess of its limit ratings.
4. Do not operate the device when there are flammable or toxic fumes, vapors or particles.
5. Keep all bodywork doors and panels closed during operation. The doors may be opened for
short periods only, e.g. to carry out routine checks.
6. People staying in environments or rooms where the sound pressure level reaches or
exceeds 90 dB(A) shall wear ear protectors.
7. Periodically check that:
• All guards and fasteners are in place and tight
• All hoses and/or pipes are in good condition, secure and not rubbing
• There are no leaks
• All electrical leads are secure and in good order
8. Never remove or tamper with the safety devices.
Also consult following safety precautions: Safety precautions during installation and
Safety precautions during maintenance or repair.
These precautions apply to electrical devices.
For precautions applying to the connected equipment consult the relevant instruction
book.
Some precautions are general and cover several machine types and equipment; hence
some statements may not apply to your machine.
1.4 Safety precautions during maintenance or repair
All responsibility for any damage or injury resulting from neglecting these precautions, or
non observance of the normal caution and care required for installation, operation,
maintenance and repair, even if not expressly stated, will be disclaimed by the
manufacturer.
1. Use only the correct tools for maintenance and repair work.
2. Use only genuine spare parts.
3. A warning sign bearing a legend such as "Work in progress - do not start" shall be attached
to the starting equipment, including all remote start equipment.
4. Persons switching on remotely controlled machines 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 remote start equipment.
5. Never use flammable solvents or carbon tetrachloride for cleaning parts. Take safety
precautions against toxic vapors of cleaning liquids.
6. Scrupulously observe cleanliness during maintenance and repair. Keep dirt away by
covering the parts and exposed openings with a clean cloth, paper or tape.

7. Never use a light source with open flame for inspecting the interior of the device.
8. All regulating and safety devices shall be maintained with due care to ensure that they
function properly. They may not be put out of action.
9. Before clearing the device for use after maintenance or repair, check that operating
pressures, temperatures and time settings are correct. Check that all control and shutdown
devices are fitted and that they function correctly.
10. Make sure that no tools, loose parts or rags are left in or on the device.
11. Never use caustic solvents which can damage materials of the device.
Also consult following safety precautions: Safety precautions during installation and
Safety precautions during operation.
These precautions apply to electrical devices.
For precautions applying to the connected equipment consult the relevant instruction
book.
Some precautions are general and cover several machine types and equipment; hence
some statements may not apply to your machine.
Units and/or used parts must be disposed of in an environmentally friendly and safe
manner and in line with the local recommendations and legislation.
1.5 Disposal of used material
Used filters or any other used material (e.g. desiccant, lubricants, cleaning rags, machine parts,
etc.) must be disposed of in an environmentally friendly and safe manner, and in line with the
local recommendations and environmental legislation.
Electronic components are subject to the EU Directive 2012/19/EC for Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE). As such, these parts must not be disposed of at a municipal
waste collection point. Refer to local regulations for directions on how to dispose of this product in
an environmental friendly manner.
