Checking direction of rotation of Compressor

Hazardous voltage - Will cause death, serious injury, electrocution. All electrical
work must be performed by an authorized electrician, in compliance with local
electrical equipment standards and internal wiring codes.
Danger

Connect the pump set to the starter, power up the compressor pump and observe the direction
of rotation of the fan

If the fan rotates in the same direction as the arrow marked on the crank case, this is the correct
direction of rotation

In case the fan rotates opposite to the marked arrow on the crank case, then this is the wrong
direction

In case of wrong direction of rotation, interchange any two phase wires. Power up the
compressor pump and observe the direction of rotation of the fan. This should match the arrow
direction marked on the crank case.

Never run the compressor pump with crank case without oil or oil lower than the specified level

OMBC001A 19 2020.01
Electrical Installation

Check the power supply voltage and frequency and compare with the product requirements
specified on the name plate.

Observe relevant EB regulations while giving power supply to the motor.

As far as possible, do not use multiple joints in the electrical cabling while connecting the starter
to the pump set.

Ground the pump set using the two earth screws provided on the delivery chamber

Ensure electrical joints, if any, are properly and adequately insulated

While making the electrical connections, avoid loose connections

Factor in low voltage operation while selecting cable size

Electrical wiring work

All electrical work must be performed by an authorized electrician in compliance with

local electrical equipment standards and internal wiring codes. Improper wiring can
lead to current leakage, electrical shock, or fire.
Warning

Earthing

Be sure to install the ground wire securely. Failure to observe this precaution could
damage the pump and cause current leakage, which may cause electrical shock.
Warning

Do not connect the ground wire to a gas pipe, water pipe, lightning rod, or telephone
ground wire. Improper grounding could cause electrical shock.
Caution

OMBC001A 20 2020.01
Connecting the Power Supply

Observe relevant Electricity Board regulations while powering up the pump set

Caution

Before inserting the power plug or connecting the wires to the terminal board, make
sure the power supply is properly disconnected. Failure to do so may lead to electrical
shock, short, or injury caused by the un-intended starting of the pump.
Warning

Do not use damaged cables, power plugs, or loose power outlets. Failure to observe
this precaution could lead to electrical shock, short circuit or fire.

Caution

Pulley positioning, alignment and belt tensioning

It is essential to ensure the compressor pump has an adequate degree of protection from dust and water. Ensure
that the compressor pump has no obstruction around it as this can reduce the free circulation of cooling air. The
motor drives the compressor through a belt drive. The motor pulley and compressor fan pulley must be properly
aligned. The motor and compressor shafts must be parallel to each other. The belt should not be overly stretched
or tensioned. To assemble the pulley on the motor shaft, insert the pulley halfway up the keyway manually.
Intense hammering should be avoided during fitting of pulley as this process can result in damage to the raceways
over a period of time.

Refer Fig. 9 for pulley positioning and alignment.

Fig. 9 Pulley positioning and alignment

Belt tension is provided by adjusting the center

distance between the compressor and motor. The
compressor is firmly bolted to the base plate, while
the motor is moveable. Use the bolts to adjust
the position of the motor and therefore the belt
tension. If the belt tension is slack, the belt can slip.
If the belt tension is too high, the bearings can get
overloaded leading to premature failure.

OMBC001A 21 2020.01
Refer to Fig. 10 for tensioning the belt:

The assembled compressor with fan and the rails for mounting of the motor are located on a
base plate.

The base plate is fixed to the concrete foundation using the four foundation bolts.

Mount the motor and clamp it to the rails using the 4 sets of bolt, nut and washer.

Mount the Motor Pulley on the motor shaft and ensure that it is aligned with the fan pulley.

Install the V-Belt to pass over the two pulleys.

Using the pre-tensioning bolt with nut, push the motor away from the compressor till the belt is
properly tensioned. Tighten the nut to prevent the bolt from loosening during operation.

Now clamp the rails to the base plate using the 4 sets of bolt with washer and nut.
