Fig. 4 illustrates the mode of operation of the air-saving circuit. The pressure curve together with the
threshold values and thresholds is illustrated in the upper part of the diagram. The corresponding con
trol input signals of the valve terminal, the output signals of the pressure sensor and the LED signal
status displays of the solenoid valve are shown at the bottom of the diagram.
