Compressed air connection
Air inlet (WALL)
Connect the compressed air line from the central distribution line to the
WALL quick coupling - inlet compressed air (if a central air distribution line is
available).
Air outlet (OUT)
Connect the pressure hose to the medical ventilator to the OUT quick
coupling on the compressed air outlet.
Air from the central 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.
The maximum rated air pressure for the WALL quick coupling is 5.5 bar
/ 80 psi. Please note that the air supply from the central distribution line
entering the compressor must be medical grade air (particulate size
and moisture content). The compressor does not modify the air from
the central distribution line.
The hose connecting the compressor to medical ventilator 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).
The compressor must not be used for supplying air to the medical air
central distribution pipeline system.
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.

The socket must be accessible for safety reasons so that the equipment
can be safely disconnected from the power supply in case of an
emergency.

The relevant current circuit must be protected.
