P. 35 - Chap. 7 Start-up and operation7Start-up and operationGB7.1Checks to be carried out prior to start-upN.B.: The Customer is responsible for installing the machine and making the required electrical andair connections.Initial system start-up must be carried out by skilled personnel who will make the variouschecks required and follow the respective instructions.Each machine was thoroughly tested at the plant before shipping.You should monitor the compressor during the first hours of operations to check for faults.Follow the installation prescriptions given in chapters 5 and 6Remove all packaging materials and toolsConnect the compressor to the distribution line as shown in paragraphs 6.2 and 6.3Check the oil level in the receiver: see paragraph 10.5. If the level is low, top up with lubricating oil ofsuitable specificationsCheck for correspondence between the compressor plate data with the actual specifi cations of theelectrical system. A variation of ± 10% with respect to the rated value is allowedConnect the machine to the electrical system as described in paragraph 6.4Compliance with the correct voltage phasesequence is fundamental since this defines thedirection of rotation of the motor. The directionof rotation must be that indicated by the adhe-sive label located to the side of the screw unit(figure 33).Note that even a few seconds of incorrect rotationmay cause serious damage.A phase sequence checking device to preventmistakes is fi tted in the electrical panel.Fig. 33The machine is now ready to be started.Before starting the machine read the following paragraph and chapter 10 on maintenanceoperations for in-depth knowledge of the machine.7.2“mc 2 ” Control panelThe compressor is fitted with a “control panel” (reference PC figures 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23) for setting up andmonitoring machine operation. The operating parameters were entered by the Manufacturer during “testing”.The parameters were tested for several hours in the various operating conditions.The features offered by this electronic control system includes:Fully automatic compressor operationReal-time operating parameter display
