4. Installation – Operation
General Specifications 
High pressure compressors are complete units for filling cylinders with compressed air at 225 bar (3200 psi) and
330 bar (4700 psi). They are mostly used for compressing breathing air for divers, fire brigades, military, paint ball
applications, etc.
Typhoon Open is a 3 staged, piston, air cooled compressor with 3 cylinders, 2 intercoolers and 1 final aftercooler,
condensate separator after the second stage aftercooler, accompanied with automatic and manual drain,
mechanical safety valves as well as two (2) filtering stages at the final pressure (after the third stage):
The first filter contains an element for retaining particles and oil droplets down to 0.01 ppm (Coalescing element).
Then there is the second and final stage of dehumidification with Molecular Sieve and air purification with
Activated Carbon.
The Final stage for Paint Ball application consists of two (2) Molecular Sieve Filters.
Installation - First start of the compressor 
All compressors are tested and pre-adjusted by the manufacturer before they are shipped to the buyer.
They can start their operation immediately on the following conditions that are considered necessary, for safety
and ease.
Anyone who will be handling the unit must read carefully all contents of this manual so as to have full knowledge of
the product.
1. Choose carefully the installation place of the compressor. The place must not be burdened by unfavorable
environmental conditions (toxic substances – explosives – fumes – dirt – debris etc.
2. Place the compressor in a well ventilated area. Make sure that the intake air for the compressor is clean
and cool. Prevent the hot cooling air from recirculating to the cooling air intake. Make sure that foreign
objects cannot get into the compressor with the intake air. Make sure that the intake air does not contain
any smells, fuel or fumes, explosive or inflammable gases or harmful substances.
3. Turn the compressor using the fly-pulley and make sure it turns freely. Do the same after overhaul of the
unit or a long-term out of service period.
4. Before any start of the compressor, check oil level. It should be between the minimum and maximum limit.
5. The compressor should be placed in a completely horizontal position. If during operation there are
vibrations, adjust the anti-vibration pads of the stand until vibrations are minimized.
6. During every start of the compressor, in versions without auto drains, open only the drain valve of the
2
nd
stage. Then during the regular operation of the compressor open both 2
nd
and 3
rd
stage drain valves
every 15 (2
nd
stage) & 20 (3
rd
– final stage) minutes.
7. When Main Switch is installed: After turning on the main switch, user must first press the reset button
and then the start button in order to start the compressor.
ATTENTION:
Larger oil quantity may increase pressures inside the block, cause leaks of larger oil quantity in the pneumatic air
resulting in the creation of chars in the valves, burden the filters and affect their life duration, as well as the quality
of breathing air.
Smaller amount of oil means inadequate lubrication affecting the life duration of the compressor.
