The turbines are suited for transporting
clean air only. If the transported medium
contains solid particles or other impuri-
ties, it is necessary to install suitable fil-
ters on the suction side (e. g. water sep-
arators, micro filters). If impurities enter
into the turbine, this might damage the
turbine.
m
During damage restoration, provide a suf-
ficient fresh air supply! Ideally, the room
temperature should not exceed 35 °C.
Ventilate several times a day. If neces-
sary, direct the exhaust air produced by
the VX out of the room. You can also set
up the VX in another room (not outdoors!)
and direct the air current needed for dry-
ing to the inside.
• The compressor is equipped with a multi-
functional LC display. Besides giving informa-
tion on the work stage, air flow rate etc., its
background colour changes. Making use of
the traffic light system, it indicates how suit-
able your drying installation is. An optimal air
flow rate is indicated by a green background
colour when the compressor is running. If the
display is illuminated in yellow, this means that
the installation is OK but the flow conditions for
the dry air are not optimal. Drying can be car-
ried out without any difficulties while the dis-
play is yellow. A red background indicates an
uneconomic operation. The compressor should
not be permanently operated in this condition.
Start-up
• Install the compressor according to the select-
ed procedure.
• Use suitable hoses (observe number and di-
ameter) to set up the drying installation.
• Remove any sealing plugs on the intake or ex-
haust connection!
• Use a water separator for the vacuum proce-
dure! In this case, connect the mains plug of
the VX 5 compressor to the socket of the water
separator. This way, the water separator can
switch off the compressor if the amount of wa-
ter is too high. This leaves the water separator
enough time to pump off the accumulated wa-
ter. Once the water tank of the water separator
is empty, the compressor switches back on
and operates in the previously chosen setting.
• For drying operations, only use cables and
sockets complying with the regulations. In ad-
dition to the 16 A fuse, the socket should also
be secured by a 30 mA residual current device
(RCD).
• Use the power button
to switch the compressor on. The following
working stages are available:
- 3 power stages 1-3
- stage 4: boost stage
- whisper mode
• If an upstream MultiQube DA has been con-
nected, all three valves should be opened.
• Check its structure via the LCD monitor.
- green: optimal air volume flow
- yellow: limit range
- red: air flow rate too low -
installation must be optimized
• In boost mode, the motor runs at its maximum
performance.
• In whisper mode, the compressor runs with a
max. motor power of 60 %, thus reducing the
noise emission at night. The night mode is au-
tomatically left after 10h and the compressor
starts to run at its previously chosen power
stage again. Selecting another stage via the
touchscreen will also stop the night mode.
• The communication port is used for
data transfer to the DA4 control unit.
The data can then be forwarded
(USB and modem or USB only).
