Operating manual drying unit VX 5
EN
• Pressing
i
while the device is switched on al-
lows you to see the number of operating hours
and the energy consumption.
Shutdown
• Use the power button
to switch the compressor off.
• Wait until the motor has come to a standstill.
• Reinsert the sealing plugs removed during
start-up.
Care and maintenance
• Always remove the mains plug from the mains
socket first.
• Check the cooling air filter and exchange after
around 6 months or if required.
• Regularly check cables and
plugs. Damaged cables and plugs must be re-
placed.
• Maintenance and repair work should only be
carried out by Trotec.
m
Suction side: The compressors of the
VX series have a strong suction air flow.
Small objects and particles can be sucked
in and lead to injuries. Pay attention that
no person is standing near the inlet or
outlet opening while the compressor is
running. If there is no tube or hose con-
nection assembled on the suction side,
the air inlet grid (fig. 4) must be installed.
m
Blow-out side: The compressors of the
VX series have a strong outlet air flow.
Sucked-in objects and particles may be
ejected at a high speed and lead to in-
juries. Therefore never hold your hand to
the outlet opening.
Attention: The outgoing air may reach
60–70 °C.
Troubleshooting
Little or no air is sucked in or blown out:
• Check the installation and, if necessary, add
relief openings to improve the air circulation
and to operate the compressor within its op-
erating range.
Motor is not running:
• Check whether voltage is applied.
• Check the electrical connections and safety
installations.
• Check whether the thermal protection has
been activated.
Motor switches off during operation:
The compressor has been overheated due to im-
proper operation and switched off by the thermal
protection. This could be due to the following
causes:
• High counter pressure on the blow-out side
has led to overheating.
• Too strong flow resistance on the suction side
has led to overheating in suction mode.
• Wait until the motor has cooled down, switch
off the device and switch it on again.
• Check the installation and add relief openings
to improve the air circulation and to operate
the compressor within its operating range.
• Check whether the two cooling air filters are
soiled or clogged.
m
Permanent or repeated overheating may
destroy the motor electronics. Avoid over-
heating the device and provide a suffi-
cient air circulation (see also "Safety"
and "Start-up"). If necessary, direct the
warm air out of the room. Room tempera-
tures above 35 °C are to be avoided dur-
ing operation.
