Dear Customer:

Congratulations on the purchase of your new This manual provides installation, operation and
JUN-AIR Dental Compressed Air System. preventative maintenance guidelines that should
be followed to ensure correct/reliable perfor-
This system’s intended purpose is for dental mance of this system. Please carry out all main-
compression applications. It is to be used in tenance according to relevant instructions.
accordance with UL60601-1 and NFPA 99C
standards, along with all applicable codes. The
system utilizes an oilless rocking piston com-
pressor that produces pressurized air flow when
connected to dental operatory lines. The tank
ensures that a constant supply of air is avail-
able to the operatory. A safety relief valve is also
included to ensure safe operation of the system.

WARNING
PLEASE READ THIS MANUAL COMPLETELY BEFORE INSTALLING AND USING
THIS PRODUCT. SAVE THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE AND

B. The system may also be turned “ON/OFF” from a
single, convenient location within the dental office
using a Remote Control Panel (if applicable).
JAir3
Remote switch & light wiring must be installed
by a licensed electrician in accordance with all
applicable codes.
STEP 2
The compressor system is factory preset to
operate up to 100 psi. The system will shut off
when 100 psi is reached and restart at 80 psi.
Check the system pressure gauge reading to
verify pressure settings. If the setting is within
±5 psi from 100 & 80 psi, continue with normal
operation. If this setting needs to be adjusted,
contact your authorized dealer.
STEP 3 JAir5
Once the power is on and the compression
preset level has been checked, the system is
fully operational.
NOTE: The air tank has a working volume
capable of retaining pressurized air. When
the pressure in the tank achieves 100 psi, a
pressure switch shuts off the power to the
compressors. If the tank pressure ever falls
below 80 psi, the pressure switch turns on
power to the compressors, allowing the tank to
fill with compressed air. When the system shuts
off, the solenoid valve attached to the coalescing
filter will purge the air from the system along with
any moisture and foreign material in the filter
bowl. During operation, the dryer system will JAir7
cycle both towers, purging a small amount of
air to dry the desiccant tower and maintain the
extremely low moisture levels. Air is continuously
supplied to the operatory while the compressors
will only cycle/operate up to 30% of the time to
maximize system life.

Testing Compressor System for Leaks

1. Close valve to facility plumbing.

100 psi.
3. Turn off compressor system.
4. Let compressor system set for 5 minutes.
5. If the pressure drop is more than 5 psi within 30
minutes, leaks must be repaired.

psi to start the compression cycle. When the
cycle shuts off at 100 psi, close the air outlet
valve. Wait 5 minutes. Open the air outlet valve.
If the pressure drops, (by more than 5 psi) the
air leak is in the office air system or delivery units
and not in the Compressor System. Call your
authorized dealer for service.

NOTE: If it is pink - see #6 below.

6. Moisture indicator is pink* a. Leak in the office air system a. If the moisture indicator is pink, there is too much
moisture in the system.
CAUTION: Call your authorized dealer for
service.
b. Compressor keeps cycling b. Check the “SPECIFICATIONS”. There may be
excessive demands placed on the Compres-
sor System. A larger capacity model may be
required.
c. The solenoid valve requires attention c. It is normal to hear air escaping from the sole-
noid valve when the compressor shuts off. If air
does not escape, the valve could be clogged or
sticking. Call your authorized dealer for service.
* In initial installations, the moisture indicator may appear pink before operating the system, this is due to ambient air in the sys-
tem and will change to blue after operation of the system.

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR DEFECTIVE COMPRESSOR(S)

3. Test compressors by turning ONE on at a
time using compressor switches located in
electrical panel. (Start only 1 compressor at a
time and disconnect power between testing
compressors). If the motor fails to start, or the
circuit breaker trips, the problem may be in that
compressor. Leave the compressor switch for
the defective compressor in the OFF position.

cover damages caused by misuse, abuse, accident, neglect, or operation outside the rec-
ommended specifications. Unauthorized alterations or repairs made outside our factory will
cancel this warranty and charges for them will not be allowed.
