2. Theory of Operation
2.1 Introduction
The Kompressor is made for use with a Welch Allyn Kreativ air abrasion system.
Mach - 6 Unit
mounted
Compressor
Assembly
Figure - 1 Compressor Assembly with mounted Mach-6
2.2 Functional Description
When the unit is initially turned on, the fan energizes and the compressor will turn on allow the accumulator tanks to
pressurize. Once 160 PSI is reached, the compressor motor turns off by action of the mechanical/electrical pressure
switch and motor start relay. Upon turning off of the compressor motor, the head pressure release valve dumps the
head pressure into the oil collection bottle. As air is drained from the accumulator tanks, when the pressure in the
lower tank reaches 125 PSI, the compressor motor turns on, at the same time, the Tank Purge valve opens, for
990276 Rev. A Page 7 of 25
Page 8
approximately 1 second, and purges the oil/water in the bottom of the air tank then closes and the compressor turns
on.
2.3 Component Identification (refer to Figure - 2, 3, and 4)
2.3.1 Compressor Motor
The compressor motor is an oil bath version capable of delivering 1.2 CFM @ 120 psi. The motor can be rated at 120
VAC or 240 VAC.
2.3.2 Air Input Muffler
The air input Muffler keeps dirt out of the internal oil bath. The motor is shipped with a cap in this location to avoid
oil spillage during transportation. It must be removed and replaced with the filter before applying power.
2.3.3 Starter Capacitor
The starter capacitor comes with the motor and is located under the electrical box.
2.3.4 Mechanical/Electrical Pressure Switch & Motor Start Relay
The pressure switch module is mounted to the lower air tank, and has a plastic cover with an Off / Auto switch
located on top. Leave this switch in the Auto position. An mechanical/electrical pressure switch starts the motor
when the pressure drops to 125 PSI and stops the motor when the pressure reaches 160 PSI. It also opens the tank
purge valve (for a second or two) each time the motor starts, and opens the head pressure release valve each time the
motor shuts off. The motor On/Off set point is adjusted by screws under the plastic cap.
2.3.5 Head Pressure Release Valve (Unloader valve)
The head pressure release valve opens each time the motor shuts off, and dumps the pressurized air/oil from the
motor head into the oil collection bottle. This makes it easier for the motor to start. It is mounted underneath the
mechanical/electrical pressure switch assembly.
2.3.6 Tank Purge Valve
The tank purge valve, located next to the air shut off valve, opens for one second each time the motor turns on. This
valve purges the oil/water that collects at the bottom of the air tank into the oil collection reservoir.
2.3.7 Upper Air Tank
The upper air tank is a 1.5 liter tank mounted horizontally above the compressor motor.
2.3.8 Check Valve
The check valve allows air flow into the upper air tank, but not out of.
2.3.9 Blow Off Valve
The blow off valve, a spring loaded safety release valve (set @ 175 ± 7 psi) is attached to the bottom of the upper air
tank.
2.3.10 Lower Air Tank
The lower air tank, 1.5 liter tank mounted vertically, is located next to the compressor motor. The pressure switch
assembly, shut off valve, pressure gauge, and tank purge valve are in the lower air tank.
2.3.11 Pressure Gauge
The pressure gauge, mounted on the lower air tank, indicates tank pressure. Used to monitor motor turn on and off
pressures as set by the pressure switch. For quick reference only.
990276 Rev. A Page 8 of 25
Page 9
2.3.12 Air Shut Off Valve
The air shut off valve isolates the system regulator and filter bank from the tanks. This valve is a multi-turn gate
valve. It is located on the lower air tank assembly. It should be fully open under normal conditions.
2.3.13 System Regulator
The system regulator, attached to the filter bank, is adjusted to 130 psi and supplies this pressure to the outside
connector.
2.3.14 Oil Removal Filter
The oil removal filter, next to the system regulator, removes 99.9% of oil and moisture. The filter has a manual drain
on the bottom of the filter. If moisture or oil is noticed, pushing the drain will allow the moisture or oil to drain into the
oil collection reservoir.
2.3.15 Odor Removal Filter
The odor removal filter, next to the oil removal filter, has an active carbon element. It has a filtration level of 0.01um
(95% scavenging particle size).
2.3.16 Ambient Dryer
The ambient dryer, next to the odor removal filter, is designed to remove all water vapor from the air when at ambient
temperature.
2.3.17 Oil Collection Reservoir
The oil collection reservoir, is located in the unit back near the bottom. The filter element traps all oil and moisture
while allowing air to escape. Used as a collection reservoir for tank purge and head pressure release valves, and for
the oil filter flushing process. The user must monitor and empty this filter before the bottle becomes full or overflows.
2.3.18 Circuit Breaker On/Off Switch
The On/Off switch, is also a circuit breaker. It is on the back lower panel. Internal connections are protected by a
safety shield. The circuit breaker is rated at 12 Amps in the 120 volts AC and 6 Amps in the 240 volt AC systems.
2.3.19 AC Terminal Block
The AC terminal block is located under the safety shield and is used to distribute power to the compressor motor, the
cooling fan, and the auxiliary power supply cable.
2.3.20 AC Cooling Fan Motor
The AC Cooling fan is energized when the On/Off switch is on. It is aimed at the upper air tank to help cool the
system, and the air heated by the compressor motor.

3. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
3.1 Routine Maintenance of the Kompressor
Welch Allyn Kreativ Kompressor system has been designed to operate with a minimum of operator attention. Like all
mechanical systems, they will operate longer and with less trouble when operator maintenance is performed regularly.
Maintenance on a Welch Allyn Kreativ Kompressor system is limited to visual inspection, cleaning, and filter
cartridge replacement. The maintenance procedures have been categorized by their frequency of action and are
described in this chapter with specific instructions.
3.2 Monthly Requirements
3.2.1 Check Oil Level
The Kompressor is equipped with an internal air compressor. The air compressor does not require any general
maintenance except adding oil. The compressor is equipped with a oil site glass or viewing window that has a
minimum/maximum indicator line to help the user identify when oil is required.

1. After all filters have been replaced and reinstalled, the Kompressor will need to be tested and adjusted
by performing the following procedure:
a. Tools Required
Crescent wrench
“Anti-sabotage” compound
990276 Rev. A Page 18 of 25
Page 19
Calibrated air pressure gauge 0-200 PSI, 2 PSI increments
2. Setting the Compressor Regulator
3. The compressor should turn on @ 130 PSI and turn off at 165 PSI to function correctly. To ensure the
compressor is set properly, a pressure gauge calibrated to NIST standards must be utilized.
NOTE: Do not depend on the pressure gauge supplied by the compressor manufacturer as the
Kreativ factory has recognized the gauges are not accurate.
4. Compressor motor “turn-on/turn-off” pressure switch.
a. Turn power off, close main air valve, and release pressure by pushing up on the black collar at
the bottom of the oil removal filter.
b. Insert a “T” fitting and calibrated pressure gauge in the tube between the lower tank assembly
and the oil removal filter.
c. Fully open the main air valve, and turn the power ON.
d. The motor should stop when the system is pressurized. If not, fix the problem before
continuing.
e. With the system fully pressurized, monitor the pressure gauge to verify that there are no air
leaks. If the gauge needle is moving or if it changes after 30 seconds, there is a leak. Fix the
leaks before continuing.
f. With the tank pressurized, and the compressor motor off, create a slow leak (by pushing up on
the black collar of the oil removal filter), observe the pressure gauge, allow the pressure to
drop to 130 psi, and stop the leak. If the compressor motor turned on before dropping to 130
to 132 psi, or if it didn’t turn on at all, it must be adjusted. If the compressor motor turned on
between 130 and 132 psi, skip the next two steps.
g. To adjust the “turn-on-pressure” of the compressor motor, remove power from unit, remove
the plastic cap on top of the lower tank assembly. Locate two spring loaded adjustment
screws inside. Using a 7mm nut driver or wrench, tighten the screws to increases the pressure
setting, and un-tighten to decreases the setting. Always adjust both screws equally.
Note Always remove power from the unit before making this adjustment. If
power is not turned off, there is live AC voltage under the plastic cap, and
special care must be taken to avoid injury.
h. With the motor is turned off, and the pressure gauge reading 130 psi, adjust the screws until
you hear the switch click. Reconnect power and turn the unit on. Monitor the pressure gauge
as the tank pressurizes, and verify that the upper pressure limit does not exceed 167 psi. The
adjustment screws change both the lower and upper pressure limits at the same time, so it is
necessary to cycle the system at least three times to insure proper calibration.
i. Keep turning power ON and OFF, and adjust the screws until the lower pressure limit is
between 130 &132 psi. Verify that the upper pressure limit does not exceed 167 psi. There is
no adjustment for the hysteresis band, so if the system is set to the proper lower limit and the
upper limit is too high, there is a problem with the pressure switch. Replace the pressure
switch and re-calibrate if necessary.
j. Record the “Turn-ON” and “Turn-OFF” pressures on the COMPRESSOR TEST DATA FORM.
k. When the pressure is properly adjusted, turn the unit OFF, close the main air valve, and
release pressure using the black collar on oil removal filter.
l. Replace the plastic cap on the top of the pressure switch, tighten the bolts on the bottom of
the lower tank assembly, and remove the pressure gauge and “T” fitting.
m. Initial and date the COMPRESSOR TEST DATA FORM when the above items are complete
and the workmanship is satisfactory.
Output Pressure Regulator Adjustment.
990276 Rev. A Page 19 of 25
Page 20
Insert a “T” fitting and calibrated pressure gauge in the tube between the output of the system pressure regulator,
and the connector at the end of the output air hose.
Fully open the main air valve, turn the unit ON, and wait for the system to fully pressurize.
Adjust the regulator output to 130 psi.
Release pressure out the end of the hose, and verify the regulator output is still at 130 psi. If not readjust and repeat
this step. When the pressure is properly adjusted, apply Torque Seal P/N 450008 to the regulator adjustment knob.
Turn the unit OFF, close the main air valve, and release pressure using black collar on oil removal filter.
Remove pressure gauge and “T” fitting, and fully open main air valve.
Initial and date the COMPRESSOR TEST DATA FORM when the above items are complete and the workmanship is
satisfactory.
NOTE: Extreme caution should be used as line voltage terminals are exposed. With a 7 mm wrench
individually adjust each nut one rotation until the compressor turns on at 130 PSI.
NOTE: It is important that the springs remain equal. When the compressor turns on at 130 PSI the
compressor pressure switch is set properly.
Setting the System Regulator
16. The system regulator should be set at 130 PSI. The system regulator is located on the left side frame .
17. To check the system regulator pressure, turn the accumulator tank shut off valve clockwise to close.
18. Remove the hose (red) from the input side of the main air solenoid (Mac Valve). The main air solenoid
(Mac Valve) is located center on the bottom of the mounting panel. The hose is attached with a push
style fitting.
19. Insert NIST test gauge into output side of the system regulator.
20. Turn the accumulator tank shut off valve counterclockwise to open.
21. Observing the test gauge, the pressure should read 130 PSI. If not, adjust regulator by pulling up the
knob and turn clockwise to increase pressure or counterclockwise to decrease pressure until 130 PSI
registers. Push down on regulator to set.
22. Place a small amount of “anti-sabotage” lacquer compound on the top of the regulator to identify the
regulator has been set.
3.4 2 Year Maintenance Check
Change the Compressor Oil
