19. Cooler
The compressor contains an oil-free piston (11) driven by a low-maintenance single-phase
electric motor. Compressed air is cooled in the cooler (19) where condensed water is
separated into a separate tank (8). Incoming air passes through two filters (6,18)
undergoing double filtration as it passes through the system (14,16). Constant pressure at
the output is maintained by the pressure regulator (15). The built-in air tank (13) enables
peak air consumption of 200 L/min.
The following applies to products with additional equipment –WALL coupling (5):
If the device is equipped with a WALL quick coupling (5), it can be used as a back-up air
source. In this configuration, the respiratory equipment is supplied with compressed air
from the central air distribution of the medical facility. Air pressure in the central distribution
line is sensed by a pressure sensor. If the pressure is sufficient, the compressor stays in
STANDBY mode. If the pressure falls, the control unit automatically places the compressor
into operation.
When the compressor is used as the main source of air, the control unit determines its
operation based on current demand for air. If air consumption is zero, the device switches
to STANDBY mode.

4. OPERATION
INSTALLATION AND FIRST OPERATION
Do not use the compressor immediately after unpacking as it will not
adjust to the ambient temperature.
Only qualified personnel can install the compressor and put it into
operation for the first time. The installer shall train the operating
personnel in the use and routine maintenance of the equipment.
Installation and training of personnel should be acknowledged by the
installer‘s signature on the installation certificate.
Prior to start-up, the four screws for transport stabilization must be
removed. If the compressor is switched on without removing the
stabilizers, the compressor could be permanently damaged.
The compressor does not contain a backup power supply.
Never block the suction filter on the backside or the vent outlets on the
top of the equipment.
If the compressor is equipped with a main source of air, the standby air
source must be available.
ANY MODIFICATION OF THIS EQUIPMENT IS FORBIDDEN!
If this equipment is used nearby other instruments, the equipment must
be observed in order to verify normal operations in the configuration it
will be used.
Instruments may be affected electro-magnetically!
Removal of transport stabilizers
On the bottom of the unit are four M6
stabilizing screws that must be removed
before start-up. They are marked with a
red warning washer.
Please retain the stabilizing screws for
future transport of the compressor.

OPERATION
14 NP-DK50 DE-18_02-2019
Wheel installation
Wheels must be installed following the figure below for versions of the
compressor with wheels.
Compressed air connection
The given appliance or respiratory apparatus should be connected to the
OUT (3) quick coupler, as this is the outlet for compressed air.
The following applies for equipment with additional equipment –WALL (5)
coupling:
Compressed air from the central distribution line is connected via the WALL
(5) quick coupling as this is the inlet for compressed air, if applicable. Air
from the distribution system is automatically connected through the
compressor to the OUT outlet port. In this configuration, the compressor
serves as a backup source of compressed air. If the air pressure from the
central distribution system is reduced, the compressor automatically switches
on and there is no interruption in the supply of continuously pressurized air at
the outlet of the compressor.
Please note that the air supply from the central distribution line
entering the compressor must be medical grade air (particulate size,
humidity.) The compressor does not modify the air from the central
distribution line.
The hose connecting the compressor to the respiration equipment
must not pass through a cold environment i.e. placed on the ground. It
should be as short as possible with no kinks (this may cause water to
condense inside the hose).
Electrical connection
The compressor comes with a plug containing an appropriate
protective contact (ground.) Adhere to local electrical regulations. The
voltage and frequency of the mains must comply with the
specifications on the data label.
The electrical cord must not be stressed or have any tension exerted
upon it, and must always be free.

OPERATION
NP-DK50 DE-18_02-2019 15
The socket must be accessible for safety reasons so that the equipment
can be safely disconnected from the power supply in case of an
emergency.
The relevant current circuit must be protected.
Connection of the ground connection (7) to other equipment must adhere
to local electrical regulations.
Fasten the electrical cord through the holder (10).
First operation
Make sure that the stabilizing screws used during transport were
removed.
Check that the connection to the compressed air supply is correct.
Check for proper connection to the main power supply.
Switch on the pressure switch (1) to position “I”.
The compressor will be operational once it is put into operation. If there is no
air consumption at the output, the device switches to STANDBY mode. When
air consumption resumes, the compressor automatically switches on.
During operation, the device drains off the entrapped condensed water from
pneumatic circuits via automatic filter separators into a tank.
The following applies to device with additional equipment –WALL (5)
coupling:
After the compressor is put into operation, it shall work in one of the following
modes depending upon the pressure level in the central distribution and upon
air consumption.
STANDBY –When there is sufficient pressure in the central air distribution
line, the main switch is on, the compressor is idle. The device operates as a
standby source of air as it checks the pressure in the central air distribution
line and, if the pressure falls, the compressor switches on.
When pressure is low in the central air distribution line, or if the device is
not connected to the central distribution line, the compressor is running. If
there is no air consumption at the outlet, the device switches to STANDBY
mode. When air consumption resumes, the compressor automatically
switches on.
During operation, the device drains the trapped condensed water from
pneumatic circuits via automatic filter separators into a separate tank.
