Malfunctions  

 

 WARNING 

Operation of damaged or defective compressor can cause serious or fatal injuries. 

  When  a  malfunction  occurs  immediately  disconnect  the  compressor  from  the 

power supply. 

  Use the compressor only after fault removal. 

 

WARNING!

 

Implementation of repair by unskilled workers can damage the compressor. 

  Ensure the repair of compressor is realized only by representatives of the manufacturer. 

Malfunctions 

When malfunction of compressor appear that  you can not eliminate by lubricating and cleaning,  you should 
contact the Service Center of company Prebena. 

  Do not perform any repair works with compressor on your own. 

  Ensure removal of any faults of compressor by workers the Service Center of company Prebena. 

Malfunctions overview  

The following overview shows possible malfunctions and the necessary measures to eliminate them. 

 

Malfunction 

Possible reason 

Solution 

Pressure drop in the receiver 

Air outflow  through the pipeline and 
receiver connections  

 

Bring the compressor to maximum pressure. 

 

Turn off the compressor. 

 

Disconnect from the mains. 

 

All connections to be greased with a brush dampened in 
soap solution. 

Air bubbles will show the place of the air outflow. 

 

These connections to be firmly tightened. 

 

If the air continues to enter, contact the service depart-
ment (see page 21). 

Air outlet from the pressure relay valve 
when the compressor does not operate 

Leakage of reverse pneumatic valve 

 

Relieve air from the receiver. 

 

Remove the cap of reverse pneumatic valve. 

 

Thoroughly clean the valve seat. 

 

If necessary, replace the sealing element. 

 

Set everything back. 

Air outlet from the pressure relay valve if 
the compressor is running more than 1 
minute 

Faulty idle running valve  

 

Change idle running valve. 

The compressor is turned off and does 
not run anymore 

The  motor  protective  breaker  is 
activated  due  to  a  malfunction 
(overheating, low voltage, an exten-
sion  cable  is  too  long  or  has  the 
wrong section) 

 

Interrupt flow of current through the pressure relay. 

 

Let the compressor cool down. 

 

Contact the service department (see page 21). 

After the maximum pressure is reached 
and the compressor is not turned off, the 
safety valve does not work. 

Disturbance of function or faulty 
pressure relay. 

 

Turn off the compressor. 

 

Contact the service department (see page 21). 

The compressor is turned off and does 
not run anymore 

The motor winding is burned out. 

 

Contact the service department (see page 21).
