when
switched on.
D
Compressor
starts
up briefly / buzzes
and then switches
off automatically
E
Compressor

off
switch-on pressure
is reached
Cause
In case of malfunctions (e.g.
overheating;
extension cable too long or
with incorrect cross-section),
the protective motor switch is
tripped.
Power failure / undervoltage in
mains
with
switched on
does
Vessel pressure is higher than
switch-on pressure.
Power supply faulty
Protective motor switch inter-
rupts power supply.
Pressure switch defective
Mains connection cable longer
than permitted or the cross
section is too small
runs
Intake filter badly contami-
nated
Air consumption of compressed
air tools is too high
Leakage at compressor
Excessive condensate in the
tank
Compressed air line leaky
Condensate drain valve is open
or missing
Load-relieving valve leaky
Check valve insert leaky or
load-
defective
Check valve is damaged
until
Remedy
Switch off the compressor. Wait

again: switch off compressor.
Disconnect the power supply.
Contact the service partner

by a qualified person (e.g. ser-
vice partner)
