The 2.5 CFM KT-70E and KT-70SE are tailored to the specific requirements of filling air tanks of up to 20L. The 3.2 CFM KT-90E is suited for filling air tanks of up to 45L. Their construction has been designed for this purpose.
• On-off switch 2.3. Optional Equipment The KT-70E and KT-90E are offered as one of three configurations, based on the intended use, and the user’s budget. • Base Configuration: (Base Option) The base configuration groups together the pres- sure gauge, safety valve, and DIN connector on the end of the fill hose. After filling, pressure is relieved in the fill hose as part of the process of draining the condensate, by opening the final condensate drain.
(Not available with KT-70SE) 2.3.4. Automatic Condensate Drain. If configured, the Automatic Condensate Drain (ACD) will bleed off the condensate into a separate container on a defined interval. KT-70E / KT-90E / KT-70SE User Manual Page 15 of 59 24 April 2018...
