Important note
General precautions
1. The operator must employ safe working practices and observe all related work safety requirements and
regulations.
2. If any of the following statements does not comply with the applicable legislation, the stricter of the two
shall apply.
3. Installation, operation, maintenance and repair work must only be performed by authorized, trained,
specialized personnel.
4. The compressor is not considered capable of producing air of breathing quality. For air of breathing quality,
the compressed air must be adequately purified according to the applicable legislation and standards.
5. Before any maintenance, repair work, adjustment or any other non-routine checks, stop the compressor,
press the emergency stop button, switch off the voltage and depressurize the compressor. In addition, the
power isolating switch must be opened and locked.
On units powered by a frequency converter, wait six minutes before starting any electrical repair.
If the machine is equipped with an automatic restart after voltage failure function and if this
function is active, be aware that the machine will restart automatically when the power is
restored if it was running when the power was interrupted!
6. Never play with compressed air. Do not apply the air to your skin or direct an air stream at people. Never
use the air to clean dirt from your clothes. When using the air to clean equipment, do so with extreme
caution and wear eye protection.
7. The owner is responsible for maintaining the unit in safe operating condition. Parts and accessories shall
be replaced if unsuitable for safe operation.
8. It is not allowed to walk or stand on the unit or on its components.

they function correctly. If removed, check that the coupling guard of the compressor drive shaft has been
reinstalled.
17. Every time the separator element is renewed, examine the discharge pipe and the inside of the oil separator
vessel for carbon deposits; if excessive, the deposits should be removed.
18. Protect the motor, air filter, electrical and regulating components, etc. to prevent moisture from entering
them, e.g. when steam cleaning.
19. Make sure that all sound-damping material and vibration dampers, e.g. damping material on the bodywork
and in the air inlet and outlet systems of the compressor, is in good condition. If damaged, replace it by
genuine material from the manufacturer to prevent the sound pressure level from increasing.
20. Never use caustic solvents which can damage materials of the air net, e.g. polycarbonate bowls.
21. The following safety precautions are stressed when handling refrigerant:
• Never inhale refrigerant vapours. Check that the working area is adequately ventilated; if required, use
breathing protection.
• Always wear special gloves. In case of refrigerant contact with the skin, rinse the skin with water. If
liquid refrigerant contacts the skin through clothing, never tear off or remove the latter; flush
abundantly with fresh water over the clothing until all refrigerant is flushed away; then seek medical
first aid.
Also consult following safety precautions: Safety precautions during installation and Safety
precautions during operation.
These precautions apply to machinery processing or consuming air or inert gas.

2 General description
2.1 Introduction
GA 5 MED, GA 7 MED and GA 11 MED are single-stage, oil-injected screw compressors driven by an
electric motor. The compressors are air-cooled.
The compressors are controlled by an Elektronikon® Graphic controller.
In combination with the Plant Central Control Unit (ES MED) and all other components of the Medical Air
Plant, the compressors ensure to deliver fail safe compressed air for use in hospitals.

Instruction book
Description
Air drawn through filter (AF) and open inlet valve (IV) into compressor element (E) is compressed.
Compressed air and oil flow into the oil tank (OT). The air is discharged through outlet valve (AV) via
minimum pressure valve (Vp) and air cooler (Ca).
During loaded operation, minimum pressure valve (Vp) keeps the pressure in the separator tank (OT) above
a minimum value, required for lubrication. An integrated check valve prevents the compressed air downstream
the valve from being vented to atmosphere during unloaded operation.
When the compressor is stopped, inlet valve (IV) closes, preventing compressed air and oil to be vented into
the air filter.
A condensate trap (MT) downstream the air cooler is included.

Description
The air/oil mixture coming from the compressor element flows into the oil separator/tank, where most of the
oil is separated by centrifugal action. The oil collects in the lower part of air receiver/oil separator (OT) which
12 2920 7097 81
Instruction book
serves as oil tank. The remaining oil is removed by oil separator (OS). A small pipe returns the separated oil
towards the compressor element.
Air pressure forces the oil from oil separator/tank through oil cooler (Co) and oil filter (OF) towards
compressor element (E).
The system comprises a thermostatic bypass valve (BV). Only when the oil is warm, the valve allows the oil
to pass through the oil cooler.
Reference Description

E Condensate
Description
The cooling system comprises air cooler (Ca) and oil cooler (Co). The cooling air flow is generated by fan
(FN).
2920 7097 81 13
Instruction book
Condensate drains
The compressors have a condensate trap (MT) downstream the air cooler. The condensate trap is provided
with a manual drain outlet (Dm) and an automatic drain outlet (Da).
Unloaded operation
If the air consumption is less than the air output of the compressor, the net pressure increases. When the net
pressure reaches the unloading pressure, solenoid valve (Y1) is de-energised.
• The pressure above loading plunger (LP) and unloading valve (UV) is vented to atmosphere via solenoid
valve (Y1).
• Loading plunger (LP) moves upwards by spring force and causes inlet valve (IV) to close the air inlet.
• Unloading valve (UV) is opened by the pressure in the oil separator vessel. The pressure from the oil
separator vessel is released into atmosphere through the unloader (UA).
• The pressure in the oil separator vessel stabilises at low value. A reduced amount of air is compressed to
guarantee a minimal pressure, required for lubrication during unloaded operation.
Air output is stopped (0%), the compressor runs unloaded.
14 2920 7097 81
Instruction book
Loaded operation
When the net pressure is below the loading pressure, solenoid valve (Y1) is energised.
• Control pressure is fed from the oil separator vessel via solenoid valve (Y1) to loading plunger (LP) and
unloading valve (UV).
• Unloading valve (UV) closes the air blow-off opening. Loading plunger (LP) moves downwards and
causes inlet valve (IV) to open fully.
Air delivery is resumed (100%), the compressor runs loaded.

Specific components
Pressure switch on oil separator vessel
This switch, referred to as FTGOL (Failed To Go On Load), gives feedback to the regulation system that
pressure is built up in the vessel when the compressor is loaded. It is a normally open switch, and it closes
when the pressure is above 2-3 bar.
Temperature sensor at outlet
This sensor measures the temperature of the compressed air after the cooler. It gives a warning when the
temperature exceeds 55°C, since this is not optimal for the dryer down the line.
Ammeter
The Ammeter in the cubicle door measures the current and allows to follow up unusual behaviour.
Main switch
18 2920 7097 81
Instruction book
The main switch allows to cut the power supply to the cubicle, during maintenance or during problem solving.
Local/LAN switch
A physical switch is mounted on the cubicle to enable easy switching to local control mode during maintenance
or for problem solving. When the switch is in LAN position, this compressor will be under control of the ES-
MED controller.
CAN port
On the side of the cubicle, two CAN connectors are foreseen for easy connecting of CAN cables towards the
ES-MED (the Plant Central Control Unit) or other compressors. When the compressor is last in line, the upper
CAN connector must be chosen and the dip switch on the CAN connector inside the cubicle must be switched
to ON.

3.1 General
Control panel
Introduction
The Elektronikon controller has following functions:
• Controlling the compressor
• Protecting the compressor
• Monitoring components subject to service
• Automatic restart after voltage failure
A number of time based automatic start/stop commands may be programmed. Take into
account that a start command will be executed (if programmed and activated), even after
manually stopping the compressor.
20 2920 7097 81
Instruction book
Several sensors are provided on the compressor. If one of these measurements exceeds the programmed shut-
down level, the compressor will be stopped. This will be indicated on display (1) and general alarm LED (2)
will blink.
Remedy the trouble and reset the message. See also the Inputs menu.
Shut-down warning
A shut-down warning level is a programmable level below the shut-down level.
If one of the measurements exceeds the programmed shut-down warning level, a message will appear on
display (1) and general alarm LED (2) will light up, to warn the operator that the shut-down warning level is
exceeded.
The message disappears as soon as the warning condition disappears.
Service warning
A number of service operations are grouped (called Service Plans). Each Service Plan has a programmed time
interval. If a time interval is exceeded, a message will appear on display (1) to warn the operator to carry out
the service actions belonging to that Service Plan.
If activated and provided the regulator was in the automatic operation mode, the
compressor will automatically restart if the supply voltage to the module is restored!

Terminology
Term Explanation
ARAVF Automatic Restart After Voltage Failure. See section General description of the
Elektronikon controller.
Power recovery Is the period within which the voltage must be restored to have an automatic restart. Is
time accessible if the automatic restart is activated. To activate the automatic restart function,
consult Atlas Copco.
Restart delay This parameter allows to programme that not all compressors are restarted at the same
time after a power failure (ARAVF active).
Compressor The recommended minimum setting is 70 ˚C (158 ˚F). For testing the temperature sensor
element outlet the setting can be decreased to 50 ˚C (122 ˚F). Reset the value after testing.
The regulator does not accept illogical settings, e.g. if the warning level is programmed at
95 ˚C (203 ˚F), the minimum limit for the shut-down level changes to 96 ˚C (204 ˚F). The
recommended difference between the warning level and shut-down level is 10 ˚C (18 ˚F).
Delay at shut- Is the time for which the signal must exist before the compressor is shut down. If it is
down signal required to program this setting to another value, consult Atlas Copco.
Oil separator Use only Atlas Copco oil separators. The recommended maximum pressure drop over the
oil separator element is 1 bar (15 psi).
Minimum stop Once the compressor has automatically stopped, it will remain stopped for the minimum
time stop time, whatever happens with the net air pressure. Consult Atlas Copco if a setting
lower than 20 seconds is required.
Unloading/ The regulator does not accept inconsistent settings, e.g. if the unloading pressure is
Loading pressure programmed at 7.0 bar(e) (101 psi(g)), the maximum limit for the loading pressure changes
to 6.9 bar(e) (100 psi(g)). The recommended minimum pressure difference between
loading and unloading is 0.6 bar (9 psi(g)).

Instruction book
Description
1 Install the compressor unit on a solid, level floor suitable for taking the weight. Recommended
minimum distance between top of the unit and ceiling is 900 mm (35 in). Stated distances
between unit and walls are minimum.
* Recommended distance is 500 mm for easy access.
Air receiver may not be bolted to the ground.
2 Position of the compressed air outlet valve (can be located on both sides of the air receiver).
3 The pressure drop over the air delivery pipe can be calculated as follows:
Δp = (L x 450 x Qc1.85) / (d5 x P), with
d = Inner diameter of the pipe in mm
Δp = Pressure drop in bar (recommended maximum: 0.1 bar (1.5 psi))
L = Length of the pipe in m
P = Absolute pressure at the compressor outlet in bar
Qc = Free air delivery of the compressor in l/s
It is recommended that the connection of the compressor air outlet pipe is made on top of the
main air net pipe in order to minimise carry-over of possible condensate residue.
4 Ventilation: the inlet grids and ventilation fan should be installed in such a way that any
recirculation of cooling air to the compressor is avoided. The maximum air velocity through the
grids is 5 m/s (16.5 ft/s).
Cooling air ducts are not allowed.
The maximum air temperature at the compressor intake is 46 ˚C (115 ˚F) (minimum 0 ˚C / 32
˚F).
The ventilation capacity required to limit the compressor room temperature can be
calculated from:
Qv = 0.92 N/ΔT
Qv = Required ventilation capacity in m3/s
N = Shaft input of compressor in kW
ΔT = Temperature increase in the compressor room in °C
5 Mains cable entry.
To preserve the protection degree of the electric cubicle and to protect its components from dust
from the environment, it is mandatory to use a proper cable gland when connecting the supply
cable to the compressor.

• The voltage on the compressor terminals must not deviate more than 10 % of the
nominal voltage.
It is however highly recommended to keep the voltage drop over the supply cables at
nominal current below 5 % of the nominal voltage (IEC 60204-1). If cables are grouped
together with other power cables, it may be necessary to use cables of a larger size
than those calculated for the standard operating conditions.
• Use the original cable entry. See section Dimension drawings.
To preserve the protection degree of the electric cubicle and to protect its
components from dust from the environment, it is mandatory to use a proper
cable gland when connecting the supply cable to the compressor.
• Local regulations remain applicable if they are stricter than the values proposed below.
The compressor is delivered with 3 m (10 ft) cable and cable gland. This cable gland is
necessary to ensure the protection degree of the electric cubicle and to protect its

Instruction book
- This vessel can contain pressurised air. This can be potentially dangerous if the equipment
is misused.
- This vessel must only be used as a compressed air/oil separator tank and must be
operated within the limits specified on the data plate.
- No alterations must be made to this vessel by welding, drilling or other mechanical methods
without the written permission of the manufacturer.
- The pressure and temperature of this vessel must be clearly indicated.
- The safety valve must correspond with pressure surges of 1.1 times the maximum
allowable operating pressure. It should guarantee that the pressure will not permanently
exceed the maximum allowable operating pressure of the vessel.
- Use only oil as specified by the manufacturer.
- In case of misuse of the units (very low oil temperature or long interval of shut down), a
certain amount of condensate can gather in the oil separator vessel which must be properly
drained. To do so, disconnect the unit from the power line, wait till it is cooled down and
depressurised and drain the water by the oil drain valve, positioned at the bottom side of
the oil separator vessel.
Local legislation may require an periodic inspection.
