Checking the temperature sensor and overheating shutdown function 12 Checking the temperature sensor and overheating shutdown function The machine should shut down if the airend discharge temperature (ADT) reaches 230 °F. A higher temperature is simulated to check this function. For this, it is necessary to determine and enter an offset value.
Page 20
As soon as a value ADT of 230 °F is reached, the machine shuts down and an alarm is activated. The machine does not shut down? ➤ Abort the test and contact KAESER Service as soon as possible. Correct conclusion of the test 1.

Design and Function Operating modes and control modes DUAL In the DUAL control mode, the machine is switched back and forth between LOAD and IDLE to maintain pressure between the preset cut-in and cut-out values. When cut-out pressure is reached, idle period has elapsed, the machine switches to the machine switches to IDLE.
Design and Function MODULATING control If network pressure exceeds the target value: Once outside the frequency convert's control range the machine reverts to the selected control mode. DUAL: The minimum controllable speed is reached and the machine switches to IDLE. The drive motor runs without load and draws little current.
