15. SWTICHNING ON THE COMPRESSOR

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 compressor (with a cabinet DK50-10S/M 8-10bar) 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.
Fig. 9: Switching on the compressor
DK50-10S/M 8-10bar
The compressor starts to operate according to the description of operation as follows:
- Compressor (without dryer)
– when first started and put into operation, the compressor
fills the air tank to the switch-off pressure and the pressure switch turns off the compressor.
Then the compressor operates in automatic mode, switches on and off depending on
compressed air consumption.
- Compressor with dryer
– the compressor operates in the same manner as above, only the
compressed air passes through the cooler that removes moisture from the compressed air.

Check the values of switch-on and switch-off pressure using the pressure gauge (3). Tolerance
of ± 10 % is acceptable. Pressure in the air tank must not exceed the allowed operating pressure.
Risk of damage to pneumatic parts.
The pressure switch (1) was set up by the manufacturer and any other changes
to it settings may be performed only by a qualified technician trained by the
manufacturer.
16. SWITCHING OFF THE COMPRESSOR

Switching off the compressor due to service or any other reason shall be performed using the
pressure switch (1) by turning the switch (2) to position „0“ and pulling out the mains plug from
the socket. This disconnects the compressor from the mains supply.(Fig. 9)

Vent the pressure in the air tank to zero by opening the drain valve. (Fig. 10).
