Material Composition:
- Frame: High-tensile welded steel
- Air End: GHH cast iron rotor set with ceramic-coated rotors
- Cooler: Aluminum plate-fin aftercooler
- DEC/TLM Module Housing: IP65-rated enclosure with industrial-grade connectors
Structural Features:
- Integrated DEC sensor array at discharge port
- TLM-compatible quick-connect couplers at each output
- Elektronikon Mark V controller with dedicated DEC/TLM display section
- Standard towable trailer with road lighting
Working Principle:
The Elektronikon Mark V controller with DEC continuously monitors real-time air consumption at the discharge point using a precision flow sensor. When air demand drops (tools idle), DEC reduces motor speed and air-end load proportionally, maintaining only the pressure required by active tools. The TLM module tracks cumulative air consumption per tool via smart couplers, logging operating hours and air volume. When a tool reaches its preset TLM threshold, the system alerts the operator, enabling scheduled tool maintenance before failure occurs.
Key Advantages:
- DEC reduces energy consumption by up to 35% compared to fixed-speed operation
- TLM extends tool life by 20–30% by preventing overuse and enabling predictive maintenance
- Real-time air consumption tracking per tool enables accurate job costing
- Zero emissions — fully electric operation
Applicable Industries:
Rental fleets, construction, infrastructure, shipyards, precision manufacturing, paint shops
Installation Requirements:
- 400V 3-phase electrical supply with minimum 200A protected circuit
- Grounding resistance ≤ 5 ohms
- TLM-compatible tools and smart couplers required for full TLM functionality
- Level surface with 3 ft (1 m) clearance on all sides
Usage Notes:
- TLM functionality requires Atlas Copco smart couplers (Part No. 2906-0599-00 or equivalent)
- DEC calibration must be performed after any air-end service or rotor replacement
- Do not operate with damaged or non-TLM-rated couplers — TLM data will be inaccurate
- Controller software update recommended every 6 months via Atlas Copco Service Tool
