5 USING THE COMPRESSOR
Before initially starting the compressor or following extended inoperation, you need to start the machine
intermittently by pressing the
START(I) - STOP(O) buttons alternately for 3 or 4 seconds. It is then advisable
to run the compressor for a few minutes with the air outlet tap open. Gradually shut-off the air tap and load
to the maximum pressure, checking if the inputs on each phase of the electric power supply are within the
limits and if the pressure on the display of the board is correct and if the maximum pressure set triggers
compressor idle running mode. At this stage, check if the compressor runs idle for roughly 2 minutes. The
pressure on the gauge of the oil separator tank must be between 2 and 3 bar. At the end of this time, the
compressor stops, triggered by the timer. Release the air from the tank to restore the starting pressure (9
bar), shut-off the air outlet tap and wait for the board to trigger the opening of the suction valve and the
closure of the internal discharge.
5.5 Stopping the compressor
Press the STOP (O) push button and the compressor will stop immediately.
Note! By disconnecting the power supply from the external switch the compressor is
completely without power.
