Frequently Asked Questions Question: What does an Air Compressor do? Answer: An Air Compressor compresses air, making it into a power source: pressurized air. That pressurized air can then be used to power pneumatic tools and other things.
⚠ DANGER The pressurized air generated by the Compressor is not human breathable when it leaves the Compressor. If you want it to be human breathable, additional equipment is required. Refer to the current version of the Compressed Gas Association (CGA, an ANSI-approved standards developing organization) for information about what is required for human breathable air.
Q: Can the Compressor be installed outside? A: Technically yes, but we advise against it. Air compressors are designed to be installed indoors. If
your Compressor is outside, the intake air will be dirtier (a significant issue), the electrical components will be subject to extra moisture (including water), and all of the components will be subjected to a harsher environment (cold, wind, rain, humidity, and so on). You will need special protections and accommodations for the unit if you install it outside.
Q: What psi/bar does the Compressor provide? A: The maximum pressure is regulated to 175 psi / 12 bar. The automatic turn-on pressure is
120 psi / 8.3 bar, the automatic shut-off pressure is 175 psi / 12 bar.
Q: What cfm does the Compressor provide? A: 25 cfm at 90 psi / 6.2 bar, 21.3 cfm at 175 psi / 12 bar.
Q: What are cfm and psi? A: cfm is the volume (the amount) of air being delivered. psi is the force at which that air is being
delivered. cfm stands for cubic feet per minute, psi stands for pounds per square inch.
Q: What are the motor specifications for the Compressor? A: 7.5 horsepower, 208-240 VAC, 1 phase. Recommended breaker is 80 amps and 6 AWG wire
gauge.

Important Electrical Information ⚠ WARNING Electrical installation, service, and all electrical connections must be done by a
qualified, licensed Electrician who is familiar with all applicable electrical codes.
General. The motor rating, as shown on the motor nameplate, and power supply must have compatible voltage, phase, and hertz characteristics. Make sure to have your Electrician check all wiring connections when they are connecting the Compressor to power; sometimes wiring becomes loose during transportation.
Wire Size. The electrical wiring between the power supply and electric motor varies according to motor horsepower and other factors. Install adequately sized power leads to protect against excessive voltage drop during pressure loaded start-up. Refer to the applicable electric codes in your area for information on selecting the proper wire size and securing electrical connections. If you connect additional electrical equipment to the same circuit, consider the total electrical load when selecting the proper wire size. Do not use undersize wire.
Minimum Wire Size. (Use 75°C copper wire). Make sure voltage is correct with the motor wiring. Refer to the motor label for the running HP rating. This will determine the wire size needed. Recommended wire sizes may be larger than the minimum set up by local ordinances. If so, the larger wire size should be used to prevent excessive line voltage drop.
The additional wire cost is very small compared with the cost of repairing or replacing a motor electrically “starved” by the use of supply wires that are too small. Also, if a lead wire longer than 10 feet is needed, consult a local Electrician for alternative wiring options.

Note 1: Table provides branch-circuit, short-circuit, and ground fault protection device sizes and required copper wire size at 75°C and up to 10 feet long. For longer distances, proper (larger) wire size must be determined and installed by local, licensed Electrician to prevent excessive voltage drop. Refer to motor label for motor HP, voltage, and phase to determine minimum wire size; do not use undersized wire.
Note 2: Smaller inverse time-trip breakers and dual element fuses may be used when recommended by a licensed Electrician. However, using an improper (too small) breaker may cause nuisance breaker tripping, which interferes with normal operation of the Compressor and could cause damage to the Compressor’s electric motor and other electrical components.
RS7580V-601 Rotary-Screw Air Compressor 11 P/N 5900090 — Rev. A — Sept. 2019
Fuses / Circuit Breakers. Refer to applicable local codes to determine the proper fuse or circuit breaker rating required. When selecting fuses, remember the momentary starting current of an electric motor is greater than its full load current. Time delay or “slow-blow” fuses are recommended.
Grounding. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. Ground terminals are identified with a ground symbol and/or the letters “G”, “GR” or “PE” (Potential Earth).
Ground must be established with a grounding wire size according to the voltage and minimum branch circuit requirements printed on the compressor specifications decal. Ensure good bare metal contact at all grounding connection points, and ensure all connections are clean and tight.
⚠ WARNING Improper grounding can result in electrical shock and can cause severe injury or death. This product must be connected to a grounded, metallic, permanent wiring system or an equipment-grounding terminal or lead. All grounding must be performed by a qualified, licensed Electrician and must comply with all applicable electric codes.

Installation This section describes how to install your Compressor. Perform the steps in the order listed.
⚠ WARNING Use only the factory-supplied parts that came with your unit. If you use parts from a different source, you void your warranty and compromise the safety of everyone who installs or uses the Compressor. If you are missing parts, visit bendpak.com/support or call (800) 253-2363, extension 191.
Safety Rules When installing the Compressor, your safety depends on proper training and thoughtful operation.
⚠ WARNING Do not install this equipment unless you have installation training. Always use proper tools, such as a Forklift, to move heavy components. Do not install the unit without reading and understanding this manual and the safety labels on the unit.
Only fully trained personnel should be involved in installing this equipment. Pay attention at all times. Use appropriate tools and equipment. Stay clear of moving parts.
⚠ WARNING You must wear OSHA-approved (publication 3151) personal protective equipment at all times when installing the Compressor: leather gloves, steel-toed work boots, eye protection, back belts, and hearing protection.
Tools You may need some or all of the following tools:
• Two adjustable wrenches, one pipe wrench • Socket and ratchet set • Medium slot and Philips screwdriver • Forklift • Rotary hammer drill or similar • Masonry bits
RS7580V-601 Rotary-Screw Air Compressor 14 P/N 5900090 — Rev. A — Sept. 2019
Select a Location Keep the following in mind when selecting a location:
• Clearance. You must have adequate space on all sides and above. See Clearance for more information. Make sure the Compressor is at least 3.3 feet / 1 meter from a wall or corner, with at least 3.3 feet / 1 meter of open space above the unit (for good air circulation).
• Floor. Install your Compressor on a flat, dry concrete floor. • Power. You will need a 208–240 VAC power source available near the Compressor. Use a 60
amp or greater fuse and 6 AWG wire. • Operating temperature. The Compressor is designed to be used between temperatures of
41º to 104ºF (5º to 40ºC). • Second floor installs. Do not install the Compressor on a second floor or elevated floor without
first consulting the building architect and getting their permission. • Indoor installation. Your Compressor works best with clean, dry air, which is found indoors. If
you install the Compressor outdoors, the air is wetter and dirtier; outside air must be filtered before it can be used with the Compressor.
• Ventilation. Install the Compressor in a well-ventilated area, away from sources of contamination such as dirt or dust. You do not want the Compressor pulling in the same air that just came out of it; that air is hot and dirty, not suitable for air intake. Installing the Compressor in a dust-filled environment is not acceptable; it will damage the Compressor and it voids your warranty.
⚠ DANGER The pressurized air generated by the Compressor is not human breathable when it leaves the Compressor. If you want it to be human breathable, additional equipment is required. Refer to the current version of the Compressed Gas Association (CGA, an ANSI-approved standards developing organization) for information about what is required for human breathable air.
RS7580V-601 Rotary-Screw Air Compressor 15 P/N 5900090 — Rev. A — Sept. 2019
Moving the Compressor There are two appropriate ways to move the Compressor:
• Move the Pallet the Compressor is on using a Forklift. One way to move your Compressor to the desired location is to use a Forklift from underneath while the Compressor is still on its pallet. Make sure the Compressor is firmly secured to the Pallet before moving it.
• Move the Compressor from Above using the Two Eye Bolts. The Compressor comes with two heavy-duty, silver Eye Bolts, which can be used—together—to lift the Compressor from above. Use great care if you decide to lift the Compressor from above using the Eye Bolts. Make sure the Eye Bolts are securely in place before lifting the Compressor using them.
⚠ WARNING You must use both Eye Bolts; do not lift the Compressor from above using only one of the Eye Bolts.
RS7580V-601 Rotary-Screw Air Compressor 16 P/N 5900090 — Rev. A — Sept. 2019
Remove the Stabilizing Bars The Compressor ships with two Stabilizing Bars in place to help keep it secure during transport.
You can remove them when the Compressor has been moved to its permanent location.
⚠ CAUTION If you wish, you can leave the Stabilizing Bars in place. If you do, avoid hitting them; they have sharp corners and you could be injured.
One Stabilizing Bar is between the Electrical Box and the Motor; the other is below the Oil Separation Tank.
Note: The Stabilizing Bars are in different locations on some older models of the RS7580V-601.
To remove a Stabilizing Bar, remove the Nuts and Bolts holding the Stabilizing Bar in place, then remove the Bar.
RS7580V-601 Rotary-Screw Air Compressor 17 P/N 5900090 — Rev. A — Sept. 2019
Clearance The Compressor has two clearance zones:
• Ventilation/Maintenance. Always keep at least 3.3 feet / 1 meter completely clear around the Compressor, even if it is in a corner or against a wall. This ensures an unobstructed flow of air to the Compressor and allows adequate space for maintenance. Required.
• Safety Exclusion Zone. BendPak strongly recommends keeping 6.6 feet / 2 meters clear around the Compressor for safety purposes. Only trained personnel should be allowed in the Safety Exclusion Zone; nothing else—no half-finished projects, no wires or cables, no storage, no chemicals, no things you’re going to get to next week. Strongly recommended.
⚠ DANGER When you even hear the words “air compressor,” you need to remember that being in close proximity to one is a serious endeavor with potentially life-threatening risks. The Compressor can start without warning. An accidental quarter turn on a ball valve can unleash pressurized air at potentially dangerous levels. Only allow trained personnel near the Compressor. Do not assume you are going to be safe this time just because nothing happened last time.
Top view. Not necessarily to scale. Not all components shown.
The Safety Supervisor at the facility should implement appropriate written policies and physical safeguards including, if possible, a physical barrier around the Safety Exclusion Zone.
RS7580V-601 Rotary-Screw Air Compressor 18 P/N 5900090 — Rev. A — Sept. 2019
Anchor the Feet If desired, you can anchor each of the four feet on the Compressor. This provides extra stability for the unit. Anchoring the feet is optional; anchor bolts are not provided.
Important: Whether you decide to anchor your Compressor or not, remember to use the supplied Anti-Vibration Pads between the Compressor feet and the ground.
Recommended Anchor Bolt specifications: wedge anchors; 3/8 in wide by 3.5 in deep; torque to 55 pound feet.
To anchor the Compressor feet:
1. Make sure the Compressor is in the desired location.
Once anchor bolts are torqued into position, they are not easily removed. BendPak strongly recommends making sure the Compressor is in the desired location before anchoring it into place.
2. Put the Anti-Vibration Pads under the feet of the Compressor.
3. Using the holes in the feet as guides, drill the holes for the Anchor Bolts through the Anti-Vibration Pads and into the concrete.
Go in straight; do not let the drill wobble.
Use a carbide bit (conforming to ANSI B212.15).
The diameter of the drill bit must be the same as the diameter of the Anchor Bolt. So if you are using a 3/8 inch diameter Anchor Bolt, for example, use a 3/8 inch diameter drill bit.
4. Use a vacuum to thoroughly clean each hole.
If a vacuum is not available, use a wire brush, hand pump, or compressed air.
Do not ream the hole. Do not make the hole any wider than the drill bit made it.
5. Put the washer and nut into place, make sure the top of the nut is flush with the top of the Anchor Bolt, then insert the Anchor Bolt into the hole.
6. Hammer or mallet the Anchor Bolt down into the hole.
Stop hammering when the washer is snug against the top of the foot.
7. Wrench each Nut clockwise to the recommended installation torque, 55 pound feet, using a torque wrench.
Important: Do not use an impact wrench to torque the Anchor Bolts.
Wrenching the nut forces the wedge up, pushing out the expansion sleeve and pressing it tightly against the concrete.
RS7580V-601 Rotary-Screw Air Compressor 19 P/N 5900090 — Rev. A — Sept. 2019
Connect to a Power Source The Compressor must be connected to an appropriate power source.
⚠ DANGER All electrical work must be done by a licensed, certified Electrician in accordance with all applicable local electrical codes. Damage caused by improper electrical installation may void your warranty.
All electrical work must conform to applicable local, state, and federal codes, rules, and regulations, such as state and federal OSHA regulations and electrical codes. The Compressor must be grounded.
Important: BendPak recommends having your Electrician check all wire connections inside the Electrical Box; sometimes they can become loose during transport.
Based on what’s best for your specific location, most customers have their Electrician:
• Wire the Compressor directly into the facility’s electrical system, or • Add a power cord with appropriate plug to the Compressor, which is then plugged in to an
appropriate power source.
The Electrician will need to provide these components; they are not supplied with the Compressor.
There is a hole in the bottom of the Electrical Box (labelled Power In on the inside) specifically for wiring the Compressor to a power source.
Important: The Compressor uses electrical energy and creates pneumatic energy; if your organization has Lockout/Tagout policies, make sure to implement them after connecting the Compressor to a power source.
The Compressor’s motor is 7.5 horsepower, 208-240 VAC, 50 or 60 Hz, 1 phase. BendPak recommends using a 60 Amp breaker and 6 AWG (if the 60 Amp breaker trips frequently, switch to a higher breaker until the tripping stops) . Check the ID plate for additional information.
This drawing on the next page uses the United States color codes for the three wires that need to be connected inside the Compressor’s Electrical Box:
• Black: Live • White: Live • Green: Ground
If you are using the Compressor in Europe, the Black – White – Green colors correspond to:
• Brown: Live • Blue: Neutral • Green/Yellow: Ground
Information about color code conventions in other regions and countries is available online.
To connect the Compressor to a power source:
1. Work with the Electrician to decide whether you are going to wire the Compressor into the facility’s electrical system or connect a power cord with appropriate plug.
2. Have your Electrician get the necessary components.
3. Route the wiring through the hole in the bottom of the Electrical Box.
The wiring needs to have three wires, Black-White-Green in the United States.

Check the Oil Level The Compressor comes filled with oil/lubricant.
The amount of oil must be between the two red lines while the Compressor is running.
Not necessarily to scale. Not all components shown.
Important: When the Compressor is off or has been stopped for over 30 minutes, the oil level will rise; it will be above the top red line; this is normal. This includes when you initially receive the Compressor; the oil level will be above the top red line.
⚠ WARNING Do not overfill or under fill the oil. If you overfill, there could be too much oil in the pressurized air. If you under fill, the Compressor could overheat and be permanently damaged, which voids the warranty.
If you require additional oil, get 46 HT Synthetic Compressor Oil.
Connect the Discharge Port Connect the Tank’s Discharge Port to the facility’s Air Pressure infrastructure.
⚠ WARNING Do not route compressed air through PVC. It could get brittle and then crack or burst, which could cause damage to the facility and injure bystanders. All components of the facility’s Air Pressure infrastructure must have a pressure rating of 200 psi or greater.
If the facility does not already have an Air Pressure infrastructure, you need to create one.
Creating an Air Pressure infrastructure is out of the scope of this document; BendPak recommends consulting with a professional.
To gather information on the subject for yourself, search the Internet for “compressed air system for shop”; you will find products, videos, and articles.

Perform an Operational Test Before putting the Compressor into normal operation, you need to test it.
To perform an Operational Test:
1. Check the area around the Compressor for people or obstructions; move them away if you find any.
2. Check the oil level; add oil if necessary.
The Compressor comes with oil. It should be high on the gauge, as the Compressor is not yet being used.
If you require oil, get 46 HT Synthetic Compressor Oil.
3. Close the Discharge Port using the Ball Valve.
4. Make sure the Compressor is receiving power.
You can do this by checking the Display Screen; if you see text, then the Compressor is receiving power.
5. Press the Start button (I); it is located on the outside of the Electrical Box.
The Compressor starts up.
6. Monitor the gauges to make sure they show operation in normal ranges.
Listen for abnormal noises or vibrations.
Check for any oil leakage.
7. Press the Emergency Stop Button to make sure it is functioning. Turn it to the right to disengage.
⚠ WARNING Use care around the Compressor. Keep all body parts away from the Compressor at all times. It can start up when you do not expect it without any warning.
8. Press the Stop button (O).
There will be a delay, and then the Compressor will shut down.
You can press the Emergency Stop Button at any time to stop the Compressor immediately.
Final Checklist Before Operation Make sure these things have been done before using your Compressor:

Operation This section describes how to operate your RS7580V-601 Air Compressor.
⚠ DANGER When you even hear the words “air compressor,” you need to remember that being in close proximity to one is a serious endeavor with potentially life-threatening risks. The Compressor can start without warning. An accidental quarter turn on a ball valve can unleash pressurized air at potentially dangerous levels. Only allow trained personnel near the Compressor. Do not assume you are going to be safe this time just because nothing happened last time.
Safety First Before using the Compressor, do the following:
• Check the unit. Check the Compressor for any missing, heavily worn, or damaged parts. Do not operate the Compressor if you find any of these issues; instead, take it out of service, then contact your dealer, email [email protected], visit bendpak.com/support, or call (800) 253-2363, x196.
• Check the area. Check the area around the Compressor for obstructions or people; anything that might impact normal operation of the Compressor. Do not forget to check above the Compressor. If you find an obstruction, move it out of the way. Do not allow anyone within 30 feet of the Compressor while it is connected to a power source.
• Check for safety. Make sure everyone who is going to be walking near the Compressor is aware of its presence and takes appropriate safety measures. Do not allow children to operate or stay near the Compressor. Do not allow anyone under the influence of drugs or alcohol to operate the Compressor. Only trained personnel should ever be allowed inside the Safety Exclusion Zone or be allowed to operate the Compressor.
Anything that could impact the safety of the people in the vicinity of the Compressor must be fully resolved before the Compressor can be used. Only use the unit if it can be used safely.
Quick Start If your Compressor passed the Operational Test and you are willing to use default settings, getting your Compressor up and running can be done quickly.
To quick start your Compressor:
1. Open the Discharge Port using the Ball Valve.
The Discharge Port should already be connected to the facility’s Air Pressure infrastructure. If it is not, connect it, then open the Discharge Port using the Ball Valve.
2. Check the Display Screen to make sure the Compressor is getting power.
3. Check the oil/lubrication level; add oil if necessary.
4. Press the Start button (I).
The Compressor starts up and begins pressurizing air and storing it in the Tank.
5. Check the Display Screen; the third line down should say AUTO LOAD.
The Compressor is up and running using default settings.
RS7580V-601 Rotary-Screw Air Compressor 24 P/N 5900090 — Rev. A — Sept. 2019
Using the Controls Whenever the Compressor has power, the Display Screen shows information.
The Display Screen shows three different kinds of information:
• Startup. The Startup process happens when you connect the Compressor to power. • Normal operation. The Display Screen shows current operating information during normal
operation. • Configuration. The Compressor comes with default settings, some of which can be modified,
and it also keeps track of operational statistics you can view.
The Controls and the three different kinds of information you see on the Display Screen are described in the following sections.
⚠ CAUTION This section describes what you see on the Compressor’s Display Screen during various phases of operation. It assumes the Compressor has been installed correctly, passed its operational test, and is being maintained correctly. If the unit has not passed its operational test, return to Perform an Operational Test and perform the test. If the unit is not being maintained regularly, refer to Maintenance and perform all required maintenance. Neglecting these items can damage the Compressor and void the warranty.
Controls and the Display Screen
You interact with the Compressor using the Display Screen and the Controls around it.
RS7580V-601 Rotary-Screw Air Compressor 25 P/N 5900090 — Rev. A — Sept. 2019
The three Indicators left of the Display Screen are:
• Power. Lightning icon, green background; glows red when the Compressor is receiving power. • Run. Turning fan icon, green background; glows green when the Compressor is running. • Alarm. Exclamation mark icon, red background; glows red when there is an error condition.
The Display Screen is a four-line screen that displays information about, and lets you control, Compressor settings and operation.
The Start and Stop buttons start and stop the Compressor. The Start button starts up the Compressor. The Stop button begins a normal stop procedure; there’s a countdown as the Compressor goes through the steps of a coordinated shutdown. This is compared to an Emergency Stop, where the Compressor stops immediately.
The five Buttons under the Display Screen are:
• Set. Saves configuration changes you have made. • Down. Highlights the next option down or decreases the selected value. • Up. Highlights the next option up or increases the selected value. • Enter. Selects the highlighted option. • Back. Returns to the previous screen.
The Emergency Stop button immediately stops the Compressor. If you press it, it stays in and the Display Screen shows EMERGENCY STOP. Turn the Emergency Stop button to the right to disengage it. The Display Screen changes to NORMAL STOP.
The Display Screen always shows four lines of text:
• The top line shows the air temperature in the Tank. • The second line shows the air pressure in the Tank and how many volts the Compressor is pulling. • The third line shows the current status of the Compressor. • The bottom line shows the communications status of the Compressor. This feature is disabled in
the RS7580V-601, so this line can be safely ignored.
The following shows an example of what you will commonly see on the Display Screen:
Line 1: AIR T: 150°F
Line 2: P:140 PSI 233V
Line 3: AUTO LOAD
Line 4: CO1 LOCAL
Line 3, AUTO LOAD, tells you the Compressor is running at full power and adding air pressure to the Tank, while Line 2 tells you the Tank is nearing full at 140 PSI (assuming a maximum air pressure setting of 175 PSI).
An AUTO UNLOAD state means the Compressor is running at reduced power (but not off) because the Tank is close to full; this reduces the number of start/stop cycles, extending the life of the unit.
The PSI value shown on Line 2 is the same as the pressure shown on the Air Pressure Gauge at the top of the Tank.
Because Line 4 only ever shows communications information, and this feature is disabled, this line will no longer be shown.
RS7580V-601 Rotary-Screw Air Compressor 26 P/N 5900090 — Rev. A — Sept. 2019
Startup
When the Compressor goes from having no power to having power, the Display Screen goes through a Startup process.
On power up, the Display Screen shows:
WELCOME TO USING YOUR SCREW COMPRESSOR
Also, the Power indicator comes on.
After a few seconds, normal operating information appears (similar to the following):
AIR T: 90°F
P:160 PSI 239V
NORMAL STOP
Line 3 will briefly show STARTING (with a countdown), then RUNNING, and finally the normal operating status.
When you see the above information on the Display Screen, the Compressor has started up correctly and is ready for normal operation.
Normal Operation
During normal operation, the Compressor is receiving power and is either building pressure in the Tank or waiting for the Tank pressure to fall below the configured threshold.
⚠ DANGER During normal operation, the Compressor can start operating with no warning. If the Compressor turns on while you are touching it or standing in the wrong place, you could be injured or, in rare cases, killed. Until you are certain that power has been removed from the Compressor and it cannot be reenergized, stay outside the Safety Exclusion Zone. Only trained Operators should ever be inside the Safety Exclusion Zone and only when necessary.
To put the Compressor into normal operation:
1. Check the Display Screen to make sure the Compressor is in a NORMAL STOP state.
If the Compressor was stopped using the Emergency Stop button, it may still be in an EMERGENCY STOP state. If this is the case, turn the Emergency Stop button to the right to reset it; the Compressor will change to a NORMAL STOP state.
If the Display Screen is off, check to make sure the Compressor is getting power.
2. Make sure the Ball Valve on the Discharge Port is set to open.
3. Press the green Start button (I).
The Run indicator comes on, the Compressor motor starts up, and the Compressor starts pressurizing air and storing it in the Tank.
If the Tank is full or close to it, the status of the Compressor (as displayed on the Display Screen) may quickly go to AUTO UNLOAD. If the Tank is empty or not nearly full, the status will go to AUTO LOAD and stay there as the Tank fills.
4. The Compressor is now operating normally.
During normal operation, status will change from AUTO LOAD to AUTO UNLOAD as the Compressor switches between these two states.
