16. SWITCHING 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) at the switch (5) on the front side of the cabinet. 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.


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.

When the compressor is running, the compressed air passes through a cooler and a dryer
that removes moisture from the compressed air.

Condensate is also blown out of the drain on the dryer, which can be heard as a hiss when
the compressor shuts down or when the drying chambers switch.
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.
17. SWITCHING OFF THE COPRESSOR

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“ (Fig. 17) and
pulling out the
mains plug from the socket . This disconnects the compressor from the mains supply

Vent the pressure in the air tank to zero by opening the drain valve.
