Although the
switch with lamp
is turned on, the
lamp does not
light up and the
product does not
start operating.
The power supply cable has been
loosened or disconnected.

The ventilation port is obstructed by
a wall or clogged with dust.

The compressed air temperature is
too high.
- Improve the ventilation in the location where the air

temperature to allow the discharge air temperature of the
air compressor to go down.
- Install an aftercooler after the air compressor to reduce
the temperature.
The fluctuation of the power supply
voltage is too large.
- Install a power supply transformer or use a different power
supply to provide appropriate voltage.
