The function of the “zero switching kit” is to eliminate the noise of the compressor switching
ON and OFF being heard through the speakers.
Kit is available from us, consisting of switching box, which can be fitted in the compressor
ONLY by a qualified electrician.

NOTE: Check our web site for frequently asked questions (FAQ) for some more
answers.
When air is consumed, the compressor works automatically, approximately every 2 minutes
and then rests for about 2 minutes (working cycle). When it stops you will hear the noise of
air being released. The automatic drainage system works every few hours and you will hear a
similar noise when air is released from the reservoir in the compressor. This is normal. The
amount of water& brown oil released depends on the working hours of the compressor and
the humidity of the air. In winter months there is less. Water will be collected in the PVC
bottles. Air pressure will push liquid from the first into the second bottle. When the second
bottle is half full, unscrew it and empty it. From the silver filters, small amounts of water will
drain into the supporting stands. Lift up the filters and empty the liquid. Occasionally some
noises will be heard due to the automatic drainage system releasing water.
With normal use check this every few months. If the tonearm is used every day and humidity
is high, (over 70%) then monthly checking is recommended. In the compressor manual,
working conditions are described for compressors used all day, every day, and all the time in
industry, where conditions are much more demanding.
