Oil Strainer
Strainer cover
Clogging of the oil strainer drops the oil pressure of the air
compressor.
●
Vtype
If the oil pressure sensor detects an oil pressure as low
as 12 psi (0.08 MPa) or lower for operation frequency
45 Hz or higher, or 6 psi (0.04 MPa) for operation
frequency less than 45Hz, the air compressor
automatically shutdowns.
●
Fixed-speed type
If oil pressure sensor detects an oil pressure as low as
12 psi (0.08 MPa) or lower.
①
Stop the air compressor and disconnect the power.
