7.1 Connection to mains power
Please refer to chapter 4 'Technical data'!
During the start-up of the compressor the
nominal voltage must not drop below the val-
ues specified in the 'Technical data'.
Please note that the compressor requires a
start-up current between 10 and 25 A.
Therefore, the electric circuit at the installa-
tion site must be inspected by an electrical
engineer to ensure that it meets the require-
ments for a smooth operation of the instru-
ment.
A constant adequate power supply to the in-
strument must be ensured at all times.
Failure to comply with the above will cause
severe damage to the instrument.
The instrument must be connected to a
grounded mains power outlet socket.
• The electric circuit at the place of installation has
to be protected separately.
• Do not connect any other consumers to this elec-
tric circuit.
Caution:
240 V units may be operated only with the step-
up transformer supplied with the instrument!
Failure to comply with this will cause severe
damage to the instrument!
