The compressor contains of an oil-free piston (16) driven by a low-maintenance single-

phase electric motor. Compressed air is cooled in a cooler (23) where condensed water is
separated into a vessel (14). Incoming air passes through two filters (15, 21) and
undergoes double filtration as it passes through the system (19). The model with a
membrane dryer is intended for applications that require a higher level of air dryness.
Constant pressure at output is maintained by pressure regulator (20). The built-in air tank
(18) enables peak air consumption of 200 L/min.
The device may be used as a standby source of air. In this configuration, the respiratory
equipment is supplied with compressed air from the central air distribution of the medical
facility. Air pressure in the central distribution is sensed by a pressure sensor. If the
pressure is sufficient, the compressor stays in STANDBY mode. If the pressure falls, the
control unit automatically puts the compressor into operation.
When the compressor is used as the main source of air, the control unit determines its
operation according to the current need for air. If air consumption is zero, the device
switches to STANDBY mode.
The compressor is equipped with indicators for output pressure (1), operation hours (6),
power status (8), drying sufficiency (4) and battery condition (7). The acoustic and optic
alarms activate to warn of high operating temperature (3), low output pressure (2) and loss
of power (5).

 OPERATION

4. OPERATION

INSTALLATION AND FIRST OPERATION

Do not use the compressor immediately after unpacking as it will not

adjust for ambient temperature.

Only qualified personnel can install the compressor and put it into
operation for the first time. The installer shall train the operating
personnel in the use and routine maintenance of the appliance.
Installation and training of personnel should be acknowledged by the
installer‘s signature on the certificate of installation.

Prior to start-up, four screws for transport stabilization must be

removed. If the compressor is switched on without removing the
stabilizers, the compressor could be permanently damaged.

The compressor does not contain a backup power supply.

Never block the air intake filter in backside and the ventilating outlets
on the upside of the appliance.

Removal of transport stabilizers

On the bottom of the unit are four M6

stabilizing screws that must be removed
before start-up. They are marked with a
red warning washer.

Please retain the stabilizing screws for

future transport of the compressor.

Compressed air connection

The medical compressor is equipped with fast-on couplings WALL (10) and
OUT (9) on the rear of the cabinet.

To the fast-on coupling OUT (9) -output compressed air- connect the
pressure hose leading to the applicable appliance/respiratory apparatus.

To the fast-on coupling WALL (10) -input compressed air- connect

pressurized air from a central distribution system, if applicable. The air from
the distribution system is automatically connected through the compressor to
the outlet OUT port. In this configuration, the compressor serves as a backup
source of compressed air. If the air pressure from the central distribution
system is reduced, the compressor automatically switches on and there is no
interruption of continuously pressurized air at the output from the
compressor.

DK 50 EKOM Manual de Servicio en 9

OPERATION

Please note that the air supply from central distribution entering the
compressor must be medical grade air (particulate size, humidity.) The
compressor does not modify the air from central distribution.

The hose connecting the compressor to the breathing apparatus must

not pass through a cold environment i.e. placed on the ground. It
should be as short as possible with no kinks.

Electrical connection

The compressor comes with a plug containing an appropriate

protective contact (ground.) Adhere to local electrical regulations. The
mains voltage and frequency must comply with the specifications on
the Data Label.

The electrical cord must not be stressed or have any tension exerted
upon it, and must always be free.

 The socket must be accessible for safety reasons so that the appliance
can be safely disconnected from the mains supply in case of emergency.
 The relevant current circuit must be safeguarded.
 Connection of the ground connection (12) to other appliances must adhere
to local electrical regulations.
 Fasten down the electrical cord through the holder (13).

First operation

 Make sure that the stabilizing screws used during transport were
removed.
 Check that the connection to the compressed air supply is correct.
 Check for proper connection to the mains supply.
 Switch on the pressure switch (11) to position “I”.

After the compressor is put into operation, it shall work in one of the following
modes depending upon the pressure level in the central distribution and upon
air consumption.

 STANDBY – When there is sufficient pressure in the central air distribution,

the mains switch is on and the POWER (8) indicator is on, the compressor
is idle. The device operates as a standby source of air as it checks the
pressure in the central air distribution and, if that pressure falls, the
compressor switches on.
 When pressure is low in the central air distribution, or if the device is not
connected to the central distribution, the compressor permanently works. If
there is no air consumption at the output, the device switches to STANDBY
mode. When air consumption resumes, the compressor automatically
switches on.

Switching the compressor on

The compressor is switched on at the mains switch (11) by putting it in

position ”I“. Switching on is signaled by the green indicator (8).

Running the compressor

The green indicator POWER (8) is lit up during operation. Display displays
the value of output pressure in BAR or PSI units. An indicator is lit on the
display next to the relevant unit. Ask serviceman for a change of display of
units if necessary. After pressing the TIME (6) button, the display shows the
number of hours in operation. Indicator DRYING (4) displays the drying
status. Green indicates satisfactory drying; yellow indicates unsatisfactory
drying. If the yellow indicator DRYING (4) stays on, make sure that the air

OPERATION

consumption from the compressor did not exceed the output flow according
to specification. If air consumption is within normal parameters, contact
servicing centre.

The decrease in output pressure is indicated by alarm PRESSURE (2) which

sounds an alarm and illuminates the yellow indicator. The alarm is activated
if the output pressure does not reach the required level and also in the
interval after the compressor is turned on until it reaches the required
pressure. If the alarm stays on, make sure that the air consumption did not
exceed the output flow according to specification. If air consumption is within
normal parameters, contact servicing centre.

Cooling failure is indicated by alarm TEMP (3) which sounds an alarm and
illuminates the yellow indicator. The device must be immediately
disconnected from the electrical mains and cooled down. Cooling failure
activation may indicate that the venting holes were covered, the filter in the
bottom part of the compressor is contaminated or the compressor works in
environment with higher temperature. If none of these circumstances apply,
a malfunction has occurred and service is required.

Alarm MAINS (5) is activated upon the interruption in the powering of

compressor.

Illumination of yellow indicator BATTERY (7) signals low battery. During the
equipment operation the battery is recharged automatically. If the yellow
control light does not turn off after 24 hours of the equipment operation, it is
necessary to change the battery. The battery powers the MAINS (5) alarm
and has no impact on other functions of the device. Entrust an authorized
service provider with its replacement. Exchange the battery for identical type
with the original one - NiMH 9V 200mAh.

Used accumulators may not be processed as household waste, they must be

collected separately.

The condensed liquid drains into a vessel (14) at the back of the device.
When the vessel fills up, it must be emptied.

Cleaning and replacing the filters

At least once a week take out and clean the output filter (15) located on the
back side. Wash the filter in warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly and allow
them to dry. Insert the clean filters so that the intake openings are completely

 SMART, if working pressure has reached 6.5 bar and now it is lower than
6.5 bar and greater than 5.0 bar, non-zero air intake is from compressor
outlet – the engine works but solenoid valve is without voltage. Complete
indication.

SMART electronics is produced in two versions 230V and 110V. Only

powering transformer is different on the boards. For the given reasons,
just 230V version is described hereinafter. However, all hereinafter
stated information are valid also for 110V version.

Checking for the Correctness of Sensor Calibration:

 Check for the faultlessness of the connection of power leads on module

terminal board. (Mains 230V AC or 110V AC, engine, electromagnetic
valve, ventilators)
 Check for the faultlessness of the connection of electronics control panel
with keypad.
 In the case power leads are flawlessly connected, assess the incorrect
operation of the compressor as follows:

- For further diagnostic process use PC with “SERV_SMART v.1.0.1”

software. Connect the computer just with the compressor using “RS232
SERVIS SMART“ cable for PC. The correctness of cable connection and
selection of a correct communication port on PC is indicated by displaying
measured values of pressures, temperature and worked out hours. The
number of worked out hours is read just once at the software start-up, the
values of pressures and temperature are displayed in a real time. Time data
on worked out hours is up-dated every fifteen minutes, however software

18 DK 50 EKOM Manual de Servicio en

 TROUBLESHOOTING

shall not display this up-date. The reason of this solution is not to interrupt
processor and let it regulate.
- Check whether the compressor works correctly in the corresponding working
mode and whether SoftStartStop functions works correctly on the basis of
the values of working and output pressure.
- In the case the incorrect function is indicated in clause 2 due to incorrect
calibration, remedy the fault using PC with “SERV_SMART v.1.0.1” software
by zeroing the offset of pressure sensors. When zeroing the offset of
pressure sensor, consistently take care after ensuring zero pressure in the
system. Offset zeroing without calibration is a makeshift solution.
- The compressor is constantly on or constantly off. Attempt to remedy the
fault using PC with "SERV_SMART v.1.0.1” software by setting the standard
initial condition followed by calibration. In the case the electronics does not
communicate, i.e. no values from the measurement of pressures,
temperature and worked out hours are displayed in the entrance window and
we are sure the communication cable is correctly connected and
communication port on PC is correctly set, the electronics board must be
replaced.
- In the case the compressor works correctly, “SERV_SMART v.1.0.1”
software displays the correct values of pressures and temperature and
incorrect data are on the foil keypad, the replacement of keypad board with
connecting cable is necessary.

Standard Initial Condition Setting

For setting the standard initial condition use PC with “SERV_SMART v.1.0.1”
software. Connect the computer with the compressor using “RS232 SERVIS
SMART” cable for PC. The correctness of cable connection and selection
of the correct communication port on PC is indicated by displaying the
measured values of pressures, temperature and worked out hours. The
displayed values are changing with the changes of the values of pressures

and temperature. Set the initial standard condition by clicking SETUP button.
This command writes the initial regulation parameters into EEPROM
memory of control microprocessor. Manufacturer recommends the
increased caution when using this command since this command
overwrites calibration! For this reason operator must respond to a question
„Are You Sure?". The acknowledgement of record is indicated by “„Default
Calibration and Setup OK“ message sent back by the microprocessor. After
setting the standard initial condition, the compressor shall work flawlessly but
the values of pressures and temperatures shall not be accurately set. The
increase of accuracy of pressure measurement shall be achieved by
measuring pressure sensor offset zeroing. Carry out the accurate setting of
these values in calibration mode.

Pressure Sensor Offset Zeroing

Use PC with “SERV_SMART v.1.0.1” software for sensor offset zeroing.

Turn on DK50 DS compressor with zero output consumption of compressed
air set. When SMART board starts communicating with PC, CAL message is
displayed on the display of SMART electronics.
Connect the computer with the compressor using “S232 SERVIS SMART”
cable. When electronics gets “STANDBY” mode, working pressure reaches
almost the maximal value, start “SERV_SMART v.1.0.1” software.
 Click “NUL” button.
 A call for ensuring zero pressure within the system shall appear on the
computer. After ensuring zero pressure, confirm OK.
 The acknowledgement of zeroing the relevant sensor is indicated by
“Calibration OK” message sent back by the microprocessor.

Execute the described operation for both sensors.

Calibration

Use PC with “SERV_SMART v.1.0.1“ software for calibration. Connect the

computer with the compressor using “RS232 SERVIS SMART” cable. The
correctness of the cable connection and setting the correct communication
port on PC is indicated by displaying the measured values of pressures,
temperature and worked out hours on PC. Use device made pursuant to
Fig.2 for the connection and measurement of pressure from compressor.

Calibration of Working Pressure P1

 Connect the measuring device - Fig. 2 onto the outlet of air from
compressor.
 Set regulation valve of output pressure of compressor so that the value of
its output pressure was the same as the value of working pressure.
 Turn on DK50 DS compressor with zero output consumption of
compressed air set. When electronics gets “STANDBY” mode, working
pressure reaches almost the maximal value, start “SERV_SMART v.1.0.1”
software. Activate “CAL” button from "Working Pressure” environment.
When SMART board starts communicating with PC, the compressor shall
stop and CAL message is displayed on the display of SMART electronics
and OK status appears on the computer.
 Carry out calibration in two points withal the first point is the current value
of working pressure measured by calibration gauge. The second point is
the zero value of pressure we reach after the complete release of
compressed air from the compressor.
 The acknowledgement of calibration of the relevant sensor is indicated by
“Calibration OK“ message on PC“.

Calibration of Output Pressure P2

 Connect the measuring device – Fig. 2 onto the outlet of air from
compressor.
 Set regulation valve of output pressure of compressor so that the value of
its output pressure was the same as the value of working pressure.
 Turn on DK50 DS compressor with zero output consumption of
compressed air set. When electronics gets “STANDBY” mode, working
pressure reaches almost the maximal value, start “SERV_SMART v.1.0.1”
software. Activate “CAL” button from "Working Pressure” environment.
When SMART board starts communicating with PC, the compressor shall
stop and CAL message is displayed on the display of SMART electronics
and OK status appears on the computer.
 Carry out calibration in two points withal the first point is the current value
of working pressure measured by calibration gauge. The second point is
the zero value of pressure we reach after the complete release of

TROUBLESHOOTING

 Click CAL button from “Temperature” environment. When the SMART

board starts communicating with PC, CAL message appears on the
display of SMART electronics and OK status appears on the computer.
 Carry out calibration or “upwards” in two points withal the first point is the
current temperature of working environment in which thermal sensor is
located for a long time. Temperature of working environment is measured
using calibration gauge. The second point is the current temperature of
water – homogeneous environment (80°C±10°C), in which thermal sensor
is immersed. Temperature of water is measured using calibration gauge.
 The recommended values of temperature at calibration are 25°C±5°C and
80°C±10°C
 The acknowledgement of calibration of thermal sensor is indicated by
"Calibration OK" message on PC.

CAUTION! When calibrating, concentrate mainly on the accurate setting

of the upper calibration point since the electronics generates second
class alarm signal at temperature of 80°C.
