1 LEADING PARTICULARS LE, LF and LT Trolley units (Fig. 5) are mobile compressors. They are
equipped with either a directly flanged electric motor (LE/LF/LT15EC
up to LE/LF/LT55EC and LE/LT75EC) or a petrol engine (LE/LF/LT22ES
up to LE/LF/LT55ES). The compressors have two outlet connections:
1.1 General description - Connection (5) for compressed air at working pressure
- Connection (8) for compressed air at reduced pressure via pressure
LE, LF and LT are air-cooled, single-acting piston compressors. LE regulator (7)
and LT are lubricated compressors; LF are oil-less compressors which
deliver oil-free air. LF15 up to LF40, LE15 up to LE55 and LE75 50
Hz are single-stage compressors; LE75 60 Hz, LE110/150, LF55/75
and LT are two-stage compressors.

Operation
Air pressure switch (MDR3) opens and closes its contacts at pre-set
pressures. During loaded operation, the contacts are closed: the motor
is running and solenoid valve <Y1) is-energized preventing the
compressed air from flowing to unloader (UA).
