POWER SUPPLY

CONNECTING YOUR COMPRESSOR TO THE POWER SUPPLY: (DA100/15BLA ONLY)

A separate electrical socket should be used for your machine. The circuit should not be less that a 13 amp

ring main which should be protected by a 30 amp fuse or miniature circuit breaker rated at 30 amps. If an

extension cable is used, use only 3-core extension leads with 3-pin sockets which will accept the

machine's plug. For distances up to 100 feet use 16 gauge .064 = 2.5mm wire: for distances up to 150 feet

use 14 gauge .080 = 3.0mm wire. A qualified electrician should replace or repair damaged or worn cables

immediately.

Before connecting the motor to the power supply, make sure the switch is in 'OFF' position and that the

electric current is of the same characteristics as stamped on the motor rating plate. All cable connections

should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the motor. See extension lead chart

below.

WARNING

Single phase 230 volt machines must be connected using the relevant coding and matching the colour of

the flexible cable to that of the plug.

The procedure is as follows:

1. Connect green and yellow coloured core to the plug terminal marked letter 'E' earth symbol or

coloured green or green and yellow.

2. Connect brown coloured core to plug terminal marked letter 'L' (live).

3. Connect blue colour core to plug terminal marked letter 'N' (neutral).

N.B. Three phase machines must be connected by a qualified electrician.

NOTE:

FOR COMPRESSORS FITTED WITH A HONDA PETROL ENGINE PLEASE REFER TO THE

MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTION MANUAL.
