1. Safety

The person installing the controller should read the following manual and
warranty information. Improper installation and handling of the controller
voids the warranty.

Any connection and mounting work can be performed only when the supply
voltage is disconnected.

The controller should be installed only by an authorized service or author-

ized personnel.

To comply with safety standards, the PE terminal of the controller should be

connected to a protective conductor or dedicated grounding.

Using the controller without the enclosure is forbidden as it might result in

an electric shock.

The device should not be exposed to water or excessive humidity which

may cause damage.

Before switching on check the electrical connections according to the con-

nection diagram in the operating manual.

Before starting the controller, make sure that the power supply meets the
requirements in the operating manual.

Any repairs can be done only by the manufacturer’s service. A repair done
by an unauthorized person voids the warranty.

2.2.1. Net pressure tile

Figure 2: Net pressure tile

Pressure tile presents the following information:

1. Net pressure value

2. Pressure max (cut-out)
3. Pressure min (cut-in)
4. Pressure band indicator
5. Bar graph

Bar graph displays the pressure level between the active band’s cut-in and cut-out pressures. If the current
pressure is above the cut-out level the bar graph is black and if the pressure is below the cut-in level the bar
graph is white.
The pressure shows the active pressure band that is currently active. The user can define four different pressure
bands that can be selected using Modbus communication, digital input selector or with scheduler.
The default color of pressure tile is gray when the compressor is deactivated. During compressor operation
pressure tile changes color to:

1. Green - the pressure is in the allowed region - between max and min pressure value (+/- 0.1).
2. Yellow - the pressure exceeded the minimum/maximum pressure value.
3. Red - the pressure exceeded minimum/maximum alert value.

When the tile is tapped, the net pressure diagram is displayed.

DEACTIVATED The compressor is not allowed to start.
STARTING The compressor is active and motor is starting.
COMPRESSION DELAY The start procedure has been completed and com-
pressor is waiting to load.
COMPRESSION The compressor is on load.
IDLE The pressure has reached pressure max level and
the motor is idling until pressure drops below pres-
sure min or idle time elapses.
DEACTIVATION STOPPING Stopping procedure was activated by a stop com-
mand and a stop procedure will be ended when all
conditions to stop have been met.
FAULT CONDITION An fault has occurred, the compressor stops or has
stopped and is waiting for the user to acknowledge
the faults or the fault cause disappears.
READY TO START The compressor is active and the pressure is above
the pressure min. When pressure drops down below
pressure min, compressor starts automatically.

STOP-START DELAY COUNTING The stop-start delay is active. Compressor waits un-
til the counter reaches the desired value. The de-
sired start/stop delay can be modified in the ”opera-
tion parameters / control timings menu”.
NOT READY TO START The compressor is not ready to start - at least one
of the conditions preventing the compressor start is
active.
SYSTEM PRESSURE TOO HIGH System pressure is too high. When the pressure
drops below ”maximum system pressure to start”,
compressor starts automatically.
OIL TEMPERATURE TOO LOW Oil temperature is too low. When oil temperature ex-
ceeds min oil temperature, compressor starts auto-
matically.
MOTOR START COUNTER The motor was started more times than allowed by
the maximum starts per hour counter.
IDLE STOPPING Stopping procedure was activated by a idle timer,
but at least one of the conditions preventing the com-
pressor stop is active.
DEACTIVATION (KEEP POWER) There is a frequency converter fault active, the com-
pressor is not allowed to start.
AUTO-RESTART The compressor has activated auto restart proced-
ure after power fail.

2.2.7. Status bar

Status bar is always visible, regardless of what is displayed in the user interface. When the main HMI view is

4. Operation theory

4.1. Start prerequisites

This section describes the conditions that must be fulfilled to start / stop the compressor. Depending on the
start / stop signal source, the prerequisites differ.

1. Start / stop source: automatic start / stop

• System pressure must fall below ”Idle stop system pressure limit”. It can be changed in Operation
parameters / System pressure related settings, this can prevent problem with next compressor start.
• If pressure drops soon next start will be possible without violating ”Maximum startups per hour”. It
can be changed in Factory settings / Compressor Data.
2. Start / stop source: user request
• System pressure must fall below ”User stop system pressure limit”. It can be changed in Operation
parameters / System pressure related settings, this can prevent this problem with next compressor
start. This is usually set higher than ”Idle stop system pressure limit”.
3. Start / stop source: fault
• When the compressor stops because a fault was detected, no conditions are checked.

If compressor can not start, it is necessary to check:

• System pressure level must be lower than level set in Operation parameters / System pressure related /
Maximum system pressure to start.
• Oil temperature level must be higher than 5 degrees Celsius.
• Motor will not start soon after stop. It can be changed in Operation parameters / Control timings / Stop-start
delay.
• Motor is not permitted to start more than number of times per hour as set in Factory settings / Compressor
Data / Maximum startups per hour.
• If dryer is enabled it’s output must be enabled for some time before proceeding. It is set in Operation
parameters / Dryer configuration.

4.2. Challenge response code authorization system

Challenge response code authorization system protects the compressor from changes made by not-authorized
user. To get the full configuration access to the compressor controller, the authorization is carried out as follows:

1. Enter Main settings menu, press the icon with padlock symbol
2. When 9-digit code will appear, contact the compressor manufacturer and provide the generated code
3. The manufacturer will provide the user with a 9-digit response code
4. Enter the generated code in the authorization menu
5. • If the entered code is correct, the main system menu is open and full permissions will be granted for
24 hours.
• If the entered code is incorrect, the system will generate a new challenge code and the code gener-
ation procedure is to be retried.
