Silent Hurricane Compressor
Oil Free
The compressor is perhaps the most crucial part of any dental system as it supplies the
valuable air needed to run handpieces and pressurize the water and cooling system.
The regulator/pressure gauge should be set to read 70 p.s.i./5 BAR. The tank pressure
gauge should read 110 p.s.i./7.5 BAR. See page 27
Operating the Silent Hurricane Oil Free Compressor
1. Connect the unit to the appropriate voltage.
2. Check that the air tank on/off valve is closed. See page 24.
3. Switch unit on at the mains (power outlet).
4. Turn unit on at switch situated on top of the pressure switch. See page 24.
6. Motor should now run and will stop running when 110 p.s.i./7.5 BAR. has been reached.
7. Connect the grey air line from dental unit to the compressor and turn air tank valve to
the ON position. See page 28
Identifying Air Leaks
To ensure the Silent Hurricane Compressor Motor is not subjected to higher than normal
operating temperatures, each iM3 Dental unit should be checked for air leaks at regular
intervals, the easiest way to check for air leaks is to pump the compressor tank up to 110
p.s.i./7.5 BAR. and turn the motor off. Make sure the air line to the dental head is
connected and the tank valve left in the open position with the pressure switch for the water
bottles also turned on.
Once the tank has been pumped to 110 p.s.i./7.5 BAR., check the pressure in the tank 10
minutes later. If the pressure has dropped more than 10% during that time then the unit is
leaking air which should be identified and remedied to ensure the compressor motor does
not overheat due to excessive running caused by the air leak.
