1 Regarding this document
1.1 Using this document
This document, hereafter called the service manual, contains important information about all life
phases of the machine.
The operating manual is a component of the product. It describes the machine as it was at the time
of first delivery after manufacture.
➤ Keep the operating manual in a safe place throughout the life of the machine.
➤ Supply any successive owner or user with this operating manual.
➤ Please insert any amendment or revision of the operating manual sent to you.
➤ Enter details from the machine nameplate and individual items of equipment in the table in
chapter 2.
1.2 Further documents
Included with this operating manual are additional documents intended to assist in the safe opera‐
tion of the machine:
■ Installation declaration according to applicable directives.
Missing documents can be requested from KAESER.
➤ Make sure all documents are complete and observe the instructions contained in them.
➤ Make sure you provide the data from the nameplate when ordering documents.
1.3 Copyright
This operating manual is protected by copyright. Any queries regarding the use or duplication of
this documentation should be referred to KAESER. Correct use of information will be fully suppor‐
ted.
1.4 Symbols and labels
➤ Please note the symbols and labels used in this document.
1.4.1 Warnings
Warning notices indicate dangers that may result in injury when disregarded.
Warning notices indicate three levels of danger identified by the corresponding signal word:
Signal term Meaning Consequences of non-compliance
DANGER Warns of an imminent threat of danger Will result in death or severe injury
WARNING Warns of possible danger May result in death or severe injury
CAUTION Warns of a potentially dangerous situation May result in a moderate physical injury
Tab. 1 Danger levels and their definition (personal injury)
Warning notices preceding a chapter apply to the entire chapter, including all sub-sections.

Example:
DANGER
These show the kind of danger and its source.
The possible consequences of ignoring a warning are shown here.
If you ignore the warning notice, the "DANGER" signal word indicates a lethal or severe in‐
jury will occur.
➤ The measures required to protect yourself from danger are shown here.
Warning notes referring to a sub-section or the subsequent action are integrated into the procedure
and numbered as an action.
Example:
1. WARNING!
These show the kind of danger and its source.
The possible consequences of ignoring a warning are shown here.
If you ignore the warning notice, the "WARNING" signal word indicates that a lethal or severe
injury may occur.
➤ The measures required to protect yourself from danger are shown here.
2. Always read and comply with warning instructions.
1.4.2 Potential damage warnings
Contrary to the warnings shown above, damage warnings do not indicate a potential personal in‐
jury.
Warning notices for damages are identified by their signal term.
Signal term Meaning Consequences of non-compliance
NOTE Warns of a potentially dangerous situation Damage to property is possible

2.11 Electrical connection
Basic requirements
The machine is designed in accordance with the conditions for an electrical power supply specified
in EN 60204-1 (IEC 60204-1) section 4.3.
If no other conditions are specified by the operator, the thresholds described in this standard must
be adhered to.
It is recommended that the user and the supplier reach an agreement on the basis of EN 60204-1,
Annex B.
Check and adjust for other deployment conditions before commissioning.
If the machine is supplied with a mains cable and a plug, the power socket may be fused at
the nominal current of the plug device.
2.11.1 Three-phase power supply
The machine requires a symmetrical three-phase power supply.
In a symmetrical three phase supply the phase angles and voltages are all the same.
This machine may only be supplied from an earthed TN or TT three-phase supply in which the
neutral point is earthed.

Assembly and operating manual 1-stage piston compressor
EPC-G No.: 9_5752 24 E
The connection to an IT three-phase supply or a three-phase supply with one earthed phase is not
permitted.
Further information When connecting to a European 400V/3/50Hz rated voltage the requirements in chapter 2.12 are
also to be observed.
2.11.1.1 Power supply specifications
The following supply cable conductor cross sections and fusing (slow-blow class gG) are selected
according to German DIN VDE 0100 Part 430 (IEC 60364-4-43) and DIN VDE 0298-4:2013-06
standards for these conditions:
■ Multi-core copper conductors at an operating temperature up to 70 °C
■ Cable length <50 m
■ for 30 °C ambient temperature
■ wiring type C: without cable contact
■ Current carrying capacity: Table 3, column 11
(European Harmonisation Directive HD 60364-5-52:2011)
■ Bundled cables: Table 21,
─ Single layer on wall or floor
─ Spacing ≥ outside diameter
➤ For other application conditions, check and determine the supply diameters according to
DIN VDE 0100 and DIN VDE 0298-4:2013-06 or the local energy provider.
Other application conditions would include, for example:
■ Higher ambient temperature
■ Other cable installation method
■ Other cable bundling
■ Cable length >50 m
