5.3  Protection and safety control
Compressor protection
The following devices and their combinations protect the compressor
High-pressure switch This switch cuts out the operation of the compressor when the discharge pressure exceeds the setting.
Oil heater
This band heater protects against the oil carry-over during the cold starting, as the band heater is 
energized while the compressor is stopped.
Fan motor protection
Internal thermostat that is embedded in the fan motor winding: this internal thermostat cuts out the 
operation of the fan motor when the temperature of the fan motor winding exceeds the setting. (only 
for some RPI models)
