SWITCHING THE COMPRESSOR ON
(Fig. 9)
Start the compressor (without a cabinet) at the pressure switch (1) by turning the switch (2) to
position “I.” This starts the compressor and fills the tank to the switching off pressure, which then
shuts off the compressor.
Start the DK50-10 S/M (8-10 bar) compressor (with a cabinet) at the switch (5) on the front side of
the cabinet, the indicator will turn green. This starts the compressor and fills the tank to the switching
off pressure, which then shuts off the compressor.
The compressor operates in automatic mode, switched on and off by the pressure switch, depending
on compressed air consumption.
Check the values of the switch-on and switch-off pressure using the pressure gauge (3). A tolerance
of

10% is acceptable. The pressure in the air tank must not exceed the permitted operating
pressure.

DK50-10S/M 8-10bar
Adjustments to the pressure range on the compressor’s pressure switch are
prohibited. The pressure switch (1) was set up by the manufacturer and only a
qualified technician trained by the manufacturer may make any changes to its
settings.
Compressor
– when first started and placed into service, the compressor fills the air tank until the
switching pressure and the pressure switch turn off the compressor. The compressor operates in
automatic mode, switched on and off by the pressure switch, depending on compressed air usage.
Compressor with dryer
– the compressor operates in the same manner as above, only the
compressed air passes through a cooler and a dryer that removes moisture from the compressed
air.
COMPRESSOR SHUT-DOWN
(Fig.9)
Compressor shut-down for either service or any other reason is performed at the pressure switch (1)
by turning the alternation switch
(2) to the “0” position and
pulling the mains plug from the socket .
This disconnects the compressor from power supply. Vent the pressure in the air tank to zero by
opening the drain valve. (Fig. 10)
