4.4 Options
The options available for your machine are described below.
4.4.1 Option H1
Machine mountings
These mountings allow the machine to be anchored firmly to the floor.
4.4.2 Option K3
Cooling air filter mat
The mat filters the cooling air and keeps the cooler surface clean.
4.4.3 Option K2
Water-cooling
Plate heat exchangers in stainless steel are used for water-cooled machines. An additional container
supplements the cooling oil circuit.
This additional container is omitted on machines with heat recovery.
■ IDLE:
The inlet valve is closed. The minimum pressure/check valve shuts off the oil separator from the
air system. The oil separator tank is vented.
A small volume of air circulates through the bleed hole in the inlet valve, through the airend and
back to the inlet valve via the venting line.
The drive motor runs unloaded, with low power consumption.
■ STANDSTILL:
The inlet valve is closed. The minimum pressure/check valve shuts off the oil separator from the
air system. The oil separator tank is vented.
The drive motor is stopped.
Option C1 ■ MODULATING CONTROL:
With the help of a control valve; the proportional controller, the opening and closing of the inlet
valve is continuously varied in relation to the actual air demand. The airend delivers compressed
air to the air system.
The loading and power consumption of the drive motor rises and falls with the air demand.
The control valve is factory set. Contact the KAESER service representative before changing the
settings.
DUAL
In the DUAL control mode, the compressor is switched back and forth between LOAD and IDLE to
maintain pressure between the preset minimum and maximum values. When maximum pressure is
reached, the machine switches to IDLE. When the preset idle period has elapsed, the machine
switches to STANDSTILL.
The shorter the idle period setting, the sooner (and more frequently) the motor is stopped.
QUADRO
In the QUADRO mode, the controller operates as in the DUAL mode during periods of high air demand
by switching between LOAD and IDLE, but during periods of low air demand it switches directly to
STANDSTILL.
This mode of control requires two preset time periods: the running period and the idle/standstill pe‐
riod.
The shorter these periods, the sooner (and more frequently) the motor stops.
VARIO
The VARIO mode is based on the DUAL control mode. The difference to DUAL is that the idle period
is automatically lengthened or shortened to compensate for higher or lower drive motor starting fre‐
quencies.
MODULATING control is based on the DUAL control mode. The difference to DUAL is that the air
delivery is continuously varied within the control range of the machine.
This control mode is not available on variable speed drive machines with a frequency convert‐
er (SFC).

➤ Heat the machine room adequately or install an auxiliary heater.
1. If installed outdoors, protect the machine against frost, direct sunlight, dust and rain.
2. Ensure accessibility so that all work on the machine can be carried out without danger or hin‐
drance.
➤ Ensure that the volume of air flowing into the machine room is at least equivalent to that being
removed from it by the machine and exhaust fan.
➤ Make sure that the machine and exhaust fan can only operate when the inlet aperture is actually
open.
➤ Keep the inlet and exhaust apertures free of obstructions so that the cooling air can flow freely
through the machine room.
Further information Further information on installation of exhaust air ducts can be found in chapter 13.3.
