CT SERIES CAP 410
INSTALLATION
CONGRATULATIONS on your new CT Series
Compressor. Please examine the compressor for
shipping damage(s) and if any are found report it
immediately to the carrier.
Select a clean dry location with a rigid floor strong
enough to support the compressor. If the compressor
is to be located in an area where vibration is critical,
properly engineered vibration mounts and flexible
piping should be used. Remove the skid. NOTE: The
compressor should never be operated on the
shipping skid. Level the compressor so it can be
bolted down securely. Before tightening the bolts,
check to see that all four feet are resting on the
foundation. Shim as necessary to eliminate stress on
the receiver or base when the bolts are tightened. We
suggest using a level for proper alignment.
Maximum ambient temperature in which the
compressor and motor should be operated is 104°F.
Therefore, adequate ventilation must be provided.
The suction openings of the compressor are
equipped with a combination air filter-muffler to
protect the compressor from normal dust and other
harmful substances. If the air around the
compressor is excessively hot, dusty, humid or
contaminated with foreign gases (such as ammonia
or acid fumes) move the filter-muffler to a remote
point where the air is clean, cool and dry. Run a
pipe to the compressor suction opening. If the run
is over 50 feet in length, use a larger pipe to avoid
excessive pressure drop. In order to fit the filter to
the compressor, bush down the connections. Be
sure piping and fittings are clean and free from dirt
and chips. If the filter is installed outside, check to
insure that it is located above the normal outside
dust level, and the filter element is protected
against rain or ice.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The electrical installation of this unit is required to be performed by a qualified electrician and must be in
accordance with the latest edition of the National Electrical Code (N.E.C.), NFPA 70, O.S.H.A. Code including
all local and state codes. Failure to comply by the national, state and local codes may result in physical harm
and/or property damage. Do not under any circumstances by-pass any motor over current protection devices.
NOTE: This unit must be grounded.
Before installation, the electrical supply must be checked for adequate wire size and transformer
capacity. Failure to install branch circuit protection with proper motor starters and overloads will void
the motor manufacturers warranty. NOTE: Do not close the disconnect switch to start the compressor
until the procedures outlined under “Startup Procedures” have been completed.
DANGER!
High voltage may cause personal injury or death, per O.S.H.A. regulations 1910.137, disconnect and
lockout/tagout all electrical power supplies before opening the electrical enclosure or servicing.
WARNING!
Never assume a compressor is safe to work on just because it is not operating. It could restart at any
time. Follow all safety precautions as outlined in this manual.
All NEMA electrical enclosures and components must be in accordance with the surrounding
environment of the installation.
