1.0 INTRODUCTION
P5A 240/24V Electric-Driven Blown Fibre Compressor The P5A Blown Fibre Compressor is designed to deliver clean, dry air for the installation of optical fibres using the blown fibre technique. The unit is a quiet running, 240V electrically-driven rotary vane compressor equipped with two wheels and handles which makes it an ideal source of portable air for internal building optical fibre installations. The unit incorporates an air-cooled aftercooler reducing the compressed air temperature to within 5°C of ambient. A 3-stage filtration system, complete with a pressure-maintaining valve, provides technically oil-free air, which reduces the moisture levels to prevent problems in the blowing operation. The unit is supplied with a 3-way control valve with purge position, 10m of 3/8” air hose with safety-type Instantair coupling and is complete with a 24V DC outlet socket for powering the blowing head. The P5A compressor is fitted with a temperature mixing valve system to allow the temperature of the air entering the filters to be manually raised to increase the pressure dewpoint of the compressed air to prevent over drying in cold conditions.

2.2 General Data
Electric Motor Type Single phase Model 501PU10-2415-300 Starter DOL Rated speed 1410 rpm Drive motor power 1.1 kW Power supply 240V 1ph 50 Hz Noise level 62 dB(A) Compressor The compressor is an oil-flooded, rotary vane unit driven through a two-piece coupling by an electric motor. Air enters the compressor via an air filter located at the end of the compressor unit and is cooled by a fan which draws air over the cooler. The compressor is automatically controlled.

4.2 PRE-OPERATION CHECKS Compressor – VO1 Check the oil level weekly when the compressor is cold, stopped
and depressurised, ie gauge reads zero. For oil grades see General Data – page 3.
Top up by slowly unscrewing the filler plug (A). If there is any
escape of oil or air, DO NOT CONTINUE REMOVING THE PLUG UNTIL ALL PRESSURE IS RELEASED.
Remove filler plug (A) and bonded seal (B). Top up with approved oil to the top of the plug hole. Replace seal to filler plug, then refit and tighten plug. Machine and its associated equipment Check for obvious damage to machine frame, carrying handles,
hoses, isolating cocks and associated equipment to be used with the machine.
THE MACHINE AND ITS ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT MUST NOT
BE USED IF DAMAGE MAKES THEM UNSAFE.

Electrical cable - Visually inspect cable and plug for damage. Statutory insulation inspections may be required – see local rules.
Aftercooler - Visually inspect for damage/leaks.
Running up checks - Start compressor and check for leaks. Compressor pressure should be 10 bar.
4.3 STARTING INSTRUCTIONS
Plug into a 240 volt 13 amp power supply. Turn 3-way valve to VENT/START position. Press green START button. Turn 3-way valve to ON position.
4.4 STOPPING INSTRUCTIONS Turn 3-way valve to the OFF/STOP position. Depress red STOP
button.

4.5 TEMPERATURE MIXING VALVE ADJUSTMENT
The P5A compressor is fitted with a temperature mixing valve system to allow the temperature of the air entering the filters to be manually raised to increase the pressure dewpoint of the compressed air to prevent over drying in cold conditions.
To adjust, start the compressor and turn the 3-way outlet valve to the venting position. Progressively open the temperature mixing valve and monitor the compressed air temperature on the temperature gauge. (Note: when the compressor is started from cold the temperature will take approximately 15 minutes to stabilise.) When the desired temperature (dewpoint) is reached, turn the 3-way outlet valve to the ON position and use the compressor as normal.

5.2 P5A HIGH EFFICIENCY FILTRATION The prefilter element which removes particulate, can be partially
cleaned by washing in warm soapy water; it should be replaced annually, sooner if heavily contaminated. The dual function filter body incorporates an oil removal element (bottom) and an oil vapour activated carbon upper element. These elements are not washable and should be replaced if the unit is unable to produce 10 bar. If the top element becomes saturated with oil within a short period, the main element and/or ‘O’ ring may be faulty and should be replaced. Both the activated carbon and coalescing elements should be replaced every 6 months. The quality of air and condition of the elements may indicate an adjustment of maintenance interval, at which time the inside of the filter bowls should be washed in warm soapy water and cleaned. Before undertaking any servicing of the filter system, stop the compressor and wait until the compressor-mounted pressure gauge reads zero.
