    it is advisable to avoid more of these same leaks to insure that you either drain the pressure tank regularly of condensation or to install an air dryer to dry the air in your pneumatic system

    Hi sir
    Every 20 minutes, the condensate drain valve Y19 is
    opened for 2 seconds by the electronic press control.
    Please review the+24Vdc is there in terminal of Valve Y19,and tigh very well the loose cables.
    If necessary, drain the entire condensation
    water which has collected by opening the screw at the bottom.
