Why BeaconMedaes Z MED Medical Air System fails to start?
- C
  Connor FlemingAug 21, 2025
  Your BeaconMedaes Medical Equipment may fail to start due to several reasons: * The main power might be disconnected, so turn on the main power. * There could be a power failure, so restore power. * The main fuse or a fuse in the control circuit might be blown, so replace the fuse. * The overload tripped on the starter, so reset it and check for system overload. * The high-temperature switch may be activated, so allow the unit to cool, reset it, and check for over-temperature conditions. * Low oil pressure, so check the oil level. * A loose or faulty connection, so check and tighten all wire connections.

Why is BeaconMedaes Z MED Medical Air System Medical Equipment air temperature above normal?
- S
  Steve MooreAug 27, 2025
  If the air temperature of your BeaconMedaes Medical Equipment is above normal, it could be due to: * High inlet temperature because of poor room ventilation or recirculation of cooling air. Improve ventilation of the compressor room and prevent cooling air recirculation. * A clogged air filter. Replace the filter. * Insufficient cooling water flow (on “ZR” models). Check the water temperature and increase the cooling water flow. * Restriction in the cooling water system due to scale or dirt buildup (on “ZR” models). Contact BeaconMedæs.
