stairs should be of grid or plate construction with
safety rails on all open sides.
Each air compressor in your system can be interfaced to the
X8I using the included IR-PCB interface modules. Any
compressor with an available control voltage of 12-250V
(either 50Hz or 60Hz) can be controlled by the X8I.
The interface module is mounted inside the compressor’s
starter panel and connected to the X8I by using a shielded
7-conductor cable or individual cables run through
grounded conduit.
Each air compressor must be equipped with an online/
offline pressure regulation system capable of accepting a
remote load/unload signal through a volt-free switching
contact or a single electro-mechanical pressure switch.

SECTION 3 SAFETY
OPERATION
!
WARNING : Risk of Danger
The ir-PCB must only be operated by
competent personnel under qualified supervision.
WARNING : Risk of Electric Shock
!
Before installing or operating the ir-PCB,
•
take time to carefully read all the instructions
contained in this manual, all compressor manuals,
and all manuals of any other peripheral devices that
may be installed or connected to the unit.
Electricity and compressed air have the potential to
•
cause severe personal injury or property damage.
The operator should use common sense and good
•
working practices while operating and maintaining
this system. All applicable codes should be strictly
adhered to.
Maintenance must be performed by adequately
•
qualified personnel that are equipped with the
proper tools.
WARNING : Risk of High Pressure
WARNING : Consult Manual
INSTALLATION
Installation work must only be carried out by a
•
competent person under qualified supervision.
A fused isolation switch must be fitted between the
•
main power supply and the ir-PCB .
The ir-PCB should be mounted in such a
•
location as to allow operational and maintenance
access without obstruction or hazard and to allow
clear visibility of indicators at all times.
If raised platforms are required to provide access
•
to the ir-PCB , they must not interfere with
normal operation or obstruct access. Platforms and
Never remove or tamper with safety devices, guards
or insulation materials fitted to the ir-PCB .
The ir-PCB must only be operated at
the supply voltage and frequency for which it is
designed.
When main power is switched on, lethal voltages are
present in the electrical circuits and extreme caution
must be exercised whenever it is necessary to carry
out any work on the unit.
Do not open access panels or touch electrical
components while voltage is applied unless it is
necessary for measurements, tests or adjustments.
Such work should be carried out only by a qualified
electrician equipped with the correct tools and
wearing appropriate protection against electrical
hazards.
All air compressors and/or other equipment
connected to the unit should have a warning sign
attached stating “THIS UNIT MAY START WITHOUT
WARNING” next to the display panel.
If an air compressor and/or other equipment
connected to the unit is to be started remotely,
attach two warning signs to the equipment stating
“THIS UNIT CAN BE STARTED REMOTELY”. Attach one
sign in a prominent location on the outside of the
equipment, and the other sign inside the equipment
control compartment.
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
Maintenance, repairs or modifications must only be
carried out by competent personnel under qualified
supervision.
If replacement parts are required, use only genuine
parts from the original equipment manufacturer, or
an alternative approved source.
