Wheel installation
Wheels must be installed following the figure below for versions of the
compressor with wheels.
Compressed air connection
The given appliance or respiratory apparatus should be connected to the
OUT (3) quick coupler, as this is the outlet for compressed air.
The following applies for equipment with additional equipment – WALL (5)
coupling:
Compressed air from the central distribution line is connected via the WALL
(5) quick coupling as this is the inlet for compressed air, if applicable. Air
from the distribution system is automatically connected through the
compressor to the OUT outlet port. In this configuration, the compressor
serves as a backup source of compressed air. If the air pressure from the
central distribution system is reduced, the compressor automatically switches
on and there is no interruption in the supply of continuously pressurized air at
the outlet of the compressor.
Please note that the air supply from the central distribution line
entering the compressor must be medical grade air (particulate size,
humidity.) The compressor does not modify the air from the central
distribution line.
The hose connecting the compressor to the respiration equipment
must not pass through a cold environment i.e. placed on the ground. It
should be as short as possible with no kinks (this may cause water to
condense inside the hose).
Electrical connection
The compressor comes with a plug containing an appropriate
protective contact (ground.) Adhere to local electrical regulations. The
voltage and frequency of the mains must comply with the
specifications on the data label.
The electrical cord must not be stressed or have any tension exerted
upon it, and must always be free.
