periodically and
indicates a fault
condition
Line voltage variation
out of range.
§ Ensure voltage is correctly between operating limits
and that no voltage spikes are being introduced into
the supply by external equipment or power feed.
High current draw
Compressor operating above rated pressure.
Set pressure to correct rating for machine.
Separator cartridge contaminated.
Change air filter, and separator cartridge.
Low voltage.
§ Ensure voltage does not drop below 10% on start up
and 6% running.
Unbalanced voltage.
Correct incoming supply voltage.
Damaged airend.
