Overheating protection
In order to protect the compressor from
overheating, it switches off at excess
temperatures.
A temperature module is integrated into the
control unit. This monitors the temperature
and is used to calculate the compressor
temperature.
The calculations are based on the running
and cooling times of the compressor.
The max. running time is limited to 120 sec.
(an fault entry is made in the control unit
whenever the maximum running time is
exceeded).
15 seconds running time are allowed
following every 6 minutes of cooling time.
After 48 minutes of cooling time the
maximum running time of 120 seconds is
available.
