If the third stop is done after 70
minutes or more has passed
after the first stop, the motor
continues to operate for 20
minutes after restart of the air
compressor, and then return to
the initial cycle.
STV: Suction Throttle Valve
20Ux: 3-Way Solenoid Valve
AUTO operation is the Auto start - stop function in
addition to a standard on-off line, 0% or 100% capacity
2-step control. The CPU on the PC board is continually
calculating a load ratio.
8.4.2 AUTO Operation (Only for Fixed Speed Type)
When the load ratio is less than 30%, CPU stop the main
motor. And automatically restart when the line pressure
is dropped to cut-in pressure.
