OPERATION
NP-DK50 DE-LF-5_11-2015 9
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.
Before starting the compressor for the first time the stabilisation
elements used to support the equipment during transport must be
removed. Starting the compressor without removing the stabilisation
elements can permanently damage the equipment!
The compressor does not contain a backup power supply.
It is forbidden to block the ventilation openings located in the upper
part 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

OPERATION
10 NP-DK50 DE-LF-5_11-2015
Remove the four screws from the side of the equipment. Remove the cover
and disconnect the ground wire.
Remove the two (2) M6 screws market with the red warning washers and
remove the stabilisation elements
Keep the screws and stabilisation elements in the event the compressor is
transported at a later time.
Connect the grounding wire and reattach the cover.
Compressed air connection
The given appliance or respiratory apparatus should be connected to the
OUT (1) quick coupler, as this is the outlet for compressed air.
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.
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 (6).
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 (5) to position “I”.
The compressor will be operational once it is put into operation.

OPERATION
NP-DK50 DE-LF-5_11-2015 11
During equipment operation condensed water is released from the
compressed air circuit through the automatic separator in the filter and
drained to the evaporation tank.
Adjusting the output air pressure
The manufacturer has pre-set the output air pressure to 3 bar. If needed the
output air pressure can be adjusted by turning the handle on the pressure
regulator (2). The safety cover (15) must be removed before adjusting the
output pressure. Push up the regulator knob and adjust the setting; once set,
push it back down to secure its position. Reinstall the safety cover!
The maximum allowed output air pressure is 3.5 bar. Damage to respiration
equipment may occur at higher outlet air pressures due to the presence of
condensed water in the compressed air exiting the equipment.
OPERATION
In case of emergency, switch the equipment off at the switch and pull
out the main power plug.
Switching the compressor on
The compressor is switched on at the main power switch (1) by putting it in
position "I".
Running the compressor
The compressor runs permanently once switched on. Condensed water
removed from the compressed air evaporates from the evaporation tank back
into the surrounding environment. The pressure gauge displays the outlet air
pressure.
Cleaning the compressor
To clean the compressor, use a detergent that contains no abrasives,
chemical solvents or other corrosive agents.

5. MAINTENANCE
REPAIRS AND SERVICE
Warranty and extended warranty repairs are to be completed by the
manufacturer or a service provider authorized by the manufacturer.
The manufacturer reserves the right to modify the equipment in any
way that will not alter the function or the operation of the equipment.
Only a qualified technician or the Customer Service Department of the
manufacturer may perform repairs that go beyond routine maintenance.
Use only spare parts and accessories approved by the manufacturer.
Prior to any maintenance or repairs, switch off the compressor and
disconnect it from the mains (pull out the main power plug).
Cover removal
- Remove the four screws from the side of the equipment.
- Remove the cover
- Disconnect the grounding conductor
- Reassemble using the opposite order
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Notice!
The operating entity is obliged to ensure that all tests of the equipment are carried
out repeatedly at least once within every 24 months (EN 62353) or in intervals as
specified by the applicable national legal regulations. A report must be prepared on
the results of the tests (e.g.: according to EN 62353, Annex G), including the
measurement methods used.

MAINTENANCE
NP-DK50 DE-LF-5_11-2015 13
Checking tightness of joints and inspecting the equipment
Test for leakage:
Disconnect the outlet hose from the quick coupling OUT (1); compressed
air consumption will stop.
Switch off the compressor
Use soapy water to check for leaks in connections
Tighten or re-seal joints as necessary.
Inspect the equipment:
Check the status of the compressor motor for balanced operation or noise.
Check the condition of the hangers above the pump.
Check fan functionality.
Check the working pressure values. Make sure the control knob on the
pressure regulator (2) and the relief valve (11) are securely closed. The
knob must be pulled up before setting the pressure or pushed down once
the pressure has been set. Turn the pressure regulator (2) knob in the (+)
direction until its maximum position is reached. Turn on the compressor
and set the air consumption to around 10 L/min. Check the working
pressure on the pressure gauge is at 5 bar; if this value needs to be
changed, adjust the pressure using the knob on the relief valve (11). Turn
this knob (2) to set the output pressure (normally 3 bar) at consumption of
around 10 L/min.
Check the condition of filter (12). With regular operation, condensate
drains automatically. Verify this function by comparing the level of
condensate in the tank to the scale line indicating the maximum level. If
the level of condensate is above the scale line, replace the faulty parts.
Examine the pump for:
- Defects in the crankcase
- Free movement of the crank shaft
If necessary, replace any faulty parts.
