5.5 Adjustment MDR5/6 pressure switch

(Figs. 5.6 and 5.7)
Caution
-
Adjust the air pressure switch while it is pressurized.
-
Switch off the voltage before removing the cover of the
switch; reinstall it after an adjustment has been made and
before the voltage is switched on again.
The maximum (stopping) pressure is controlled by adjusting
knob (1).
Turn the knob clockwise to raise the maximum or stopping
pressure, anti-clockwise to lower it.
The pressure difference is adjusted by means of the same
knob.
Push down the knob and turn it clockwise to reduce the
difference between the stopping and starting pressures, i.e. to
increase the starting pressure. Turn the knob anti-clockwise
to increase the pressure difference. The adjustment range is
shown on the diagram (Fig. 5.7).

5.6 Adjustment pilot valve on Trolley

The adjustment of the maximum or unloading pressure of the
compressor is effected by means of pilot valve (RV-Fig. 1.16).
The valve also controls the difference between the preset
maximum pressure and that at which compression is resumed.
Unload mechanism
The pilot valve is equipped with a hand-operated unload
mechanism: by turning the red handle (1) 90 degrees, the
plunger of the valve will be lifted, releasing the spring force.
The air pressure from the pulsation dampers will force down
unloader plunger (12-Fig. 1.12), the compressor will run
unloaded. By turning handle (1) 90 degrees further, the plunger
returns to its original position so that the pilot valve will again
unload and load the compressor at the pre-set pressures.
