devices where the parameters and properties of the compressed air are suitable for the specific
application.
Compressed air supplied by the compressor is unsuitable for use with artificial lung
ventilation devices without further filtration.
Any other use of the product beyond its intended use is considered an incorrect use. The
manufacturer is not liable for any damages or injuries resulting from the incorrect use.
CONTRAINDICATIONS AND SIDE-EFFECTS
There are no contraindications or side-effects known.
WARNINGS AND SYMBOLS
The following symbols are used in the user manual, device and its packaging to denote important
details and information:

STORAGE AND TRANSPORT
The compressor is shipped from the factory in a transport packaging. This protects the device from
damage during transport.
The original compressor packaging must be used for transport whenever possible.
Transport the compressor in an upright position, always secured with transport
fixation.
Protect the compressor from moisture, dirt and extreme temperatures during transport and
storage. Store the compressor in its original packaging in a warm, dry, and dust-free area.
Do not store near any chemical substances.
Keep the packaging material, if possible. If not, please dispose of the packaging material in
an environmentally-friendly way. Packaging cardboard can be recycled with old paper.
The compressor may only be transported when all air pressure has been vented.
Before moving or transporting the compressor, release all air pressure from the tank
and hoses and drain condensate from the air tank.
Storing or shipping the equipment in any conditions other than those specified below
is prohibited.

and d is the recommended separation dis-
tance in metres (m).
Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters,
as determined by an electromagnetic site
survey a, should be less than the
compliance level in each frequency range b.
Interference may occur in the vicinity of
equipment marked with the following
symbol:
NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by
absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
aField strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and
land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted
theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an
electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which
the equipment is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the equipment should be
observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be
necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the equipment.
bOver the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 kHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.

The regulator must be selected according to the application to the filter set, or separately The
regulator shall ensure constant pressure at the outlet.

8.2.4. Filter set brackets
A suitable bracket must be ordered for every filter set.
8.2.5. Condensation and filtration unit
The compressor may be additionally fitted with a condensation and filtration unit (KJF-1 or KJFR-1).
The KJF-1 or KJFR-1 ensure that the compressed air from the air tank is cooled in the cooler and
the condensate is captured in the filter and automatically separated from the pneumatic distribution
system. The compressed air is filtered at the same time.
PRODUCT FUNCTIONALITY
Compressor (Fig. 1)
The air pump (1) draws in atmospheric air through an inlet filter (8) and compresses it through a non-
return valve (3) into an air tank (2) from which the device draws compressed air. If the pressure in
the air tank drops to the switch-on pressure, the pressure switch (4) turns on the compressor and
the compressor supplies compressed air into the air tank until it reaches the switch-off pressure,
when the compressor switches off. The pressure hose is vented through the relief solenoid valve
(13) once the air pump is shut off. The safety valve (5) prevents the pressure in the air tank from
rising above the maximum allowed value. The drain valve (7) drains condensate from the air tank.
Compressed, oil-free filtered air is stored in the air tank ready for use.
Condensate must be drained from the air tank at regular intervals (see Chapter 19.1).
Compressor with membrane dryer (Fig. 2)
The air pump (1) draws in air through an inlet filter (8) and compresses it, feeding it to the cooler (14)
through the filter (15) and the check valve (3) into the dryer (9), and feeds the clean and dry air into
the air tank (2). A part of the air is released from the dryer with the captured moisture, which is
manifested as a light air stream along the body of the dryer (9). Condensate from the filter is
automatically drained at regular intervals into the collecting bottle via the condensate drain solenoid
valve (16). The dryer ensures continuous drying of the compressed air. The drain valve (7) drains
condensate from the air tank when drying performance is checked. Compressed, oil-free filtered air
is stored in the air tank ready for use.

For the membrane dryer to work as intended, the dryer is connected directly to the air tank without
the use of a check valve. As the membrane dryer contains selective membrane fibres, there is a
small amount of air leakage through them (about 0.5 bar/30 min)
This is why there is a gradual, slow drop in pressure even when there is no demand for compressed
air (from the air tank), however, this is not a malfunction.
The pressure vessel does not need to be drained.
Compressor cabinet
The soundproof cabinet provides compact covering of the compressor, allowing sufficient exchange
of cooling air. With its design It can be placed in a dentist’s office as a part of furniture. The fan under
the air pump of a compressor provides cooling of compressor and it is in operation at the same time
with an engine of the compressor. After prolonged use the temperature in the cabinet may rise
above 40°C, causing the cooling fan blower to automatically turn on. After cooling the cabinet area
down to 32°C the fan blower turns off automatically.
Make sure that nothing impedes the free flow of air under and around the compressor.
Never cover the hot air outlet on the top back side of the cabinet.
If placing the compressor on a soft floor such as carpet, create space for ventilation
between the base and floor or the cabinet and floor, e.g. underpin the footings with
hard pads.
The 8-10 bar compressor model is equipped with an hour counter (Fig. 3).
