A. Prior to hitching the air compressor to the tow
vehicle, inspect all attachment parts and equip-
ment, checking for (i) signs of excessive wear or
corrosion, (ii) parts that are cracked, bent,
dented or otherwise deformed or degraded, and
(iii) loose nuts, bolts or other fasteners. Should
any such condition be present, DO NOT TOW
until the problem is corrected.
B. Back the tow vehicle to the compressor and posi-
tion it in preparation for coupling the compressor.
C. If the compressor is provided with a drawbar
latched in the vertical upright position, carefully
unlatch drawbar and lower it to engage the cou-
pling device. If not, raise drawbar with the jack to
engage coupling device or otherwise couple the
compressor to the towing vehicle.
WARNING
This equipment may be tongue heavy. DO
NOT attempt to raise or lower the drawbar
by hand if the weight is more than you can
safely handle.
Use the screw jack provided or a chain fall
if you cannot lift or lower it without avoiding
injury to yourself or others. Keep hands
and fingers clear of the coupling device and
all other pinch points. Keep feet clear of
drawbar to avoid injury in case it should
slip from your hands.
D. Make sure the coupling device is fully engaged,
closed and locked.
E. If chains are provided, pass each chain through
its point of attachment on the towing vehicle;
then hook each chain to itself by passing the
grab hook over (not through) a link. Cross chains
under the front of drawbar before passing them
through points of attachment on towing vehicle to
support the front of drawbar in case it should
accidentally become uncoupled.
F. Make sure that the coupling device and adjacent
structures on the towing vehicle (and also, if uti-
lized, chain adjustment, brake and/or electrical
interconnections) DO NOT interfere with or
restrict motion of any part of the compressor,
including its coupling device, with respect to the
towing vehicle when maneuvering over any
anticipated terrain.

SECTION 1
G. If provided, make sure chain length, brake and
electrical interconnections provide sufficient
slack to prevent strain when cornering and
maneuvering, yet are supported so they cannot
drag or rub on road, terrain or towing vehicle sur-
faces which might cause wear that could render
them inoperative.
WARNING
This equipment may be tongue heavy. DO
NOT attempt to raise or lower the drawbar
by hand if the weight is more than you can
safely handle.
CAUTION
Retract the front screw jack only after
attaching the compressor to the tow vehi-
cle. Raise the screw jack to its full up posi-
tion and pull the pin connecting the jack to
the drawbar. Rotate the screw jack to its
stowed position, parallel to the drawbar,
and reinsert the pin. Make sure the jack is
secured in place prior to towing.
If a caster wheel is provided on the screw
jack it is part of the screw jack and can not
be removed. Follow the same procedure for
stowing away the wheeled jack as you
would for the standard screw jack. Pull the
pin connecting the jack to the drawbar and
raise the screw jack to its full up position.
Rotate the screw jack to its stowed posi-
tion, parallel to the drawbar, and reinsert
the pin. Make sure the jack is secured in
place prior to towing.
H. On two-wheeled models, fully retract front screw
jack and any rear stabilizer legs. If a caster wheel
is provided on the screw jack it is part of the
screw jack, and can not be removed. Follow the
same procedure for stowing away the wheeled
jack as you would for the standard screw jack.
Pull the pin connecting the jack to the drawbar
and raise the screw jack to its full upright posi-
tion. Rotate the screw jack to its stowed position,
parallel to the drawbar, and reinsert the pin.
Make sure the jack is secured in place prior to
towing.
SECTION 1
I. Make sure tires are in good condition and are the
size (load range) specified and are inflated to the
specified pressures. DO NOT change the tire
size or type. Also, make sure wheel bolts, lugs or
nuts are tightened to the specified torques.
J. If provided, make sure all dual stop, tail direc-
tional and clearance lights are operating properly
and that their lenses are clean and functional.
Also, make sure all reflectors and reflecting sur-
faces, including the slow moving vehicle emblem
on compressors provided with same, are clean
and functional.
K. Make sure all service air hoses (not air brake
hoses) are disconnected or are fully stowed and
secured on hose reels, if provided.
L. Make sure all access doors and tool box covers
are closed and latched. If the compressor is
large enough to hold a man, make sure all per-
sonnel are out before closing and latching
access doors.
M. Make sure parking brakes in towing vehicle are
set, or that its wheels are chocked or blocked, or
that it is otherwise restrained from moving. Then,
release the compressor parking brakes, if pro-
vided.
N. Make sure the compressor wheels are not
chocked or blocked, and that all tie-downs, if any,
are free.
O. Test running brake operation, including break-
away switch operation if provided, before
attempting to tow the compressor at its rated
speed or less when conditions prevail.
P. DO NOT carry loose or inappropriate tools,
equipment or supplies on or in the compressor.
Q. DO NOT load this equipment with accessories or
tools such that it is unbalanced from side to side
or front to back. Such unbalance will reduce the
towability of this equipment and may increase
the possibility of tipping, rolling over, jackknifing,
etc. Loss of control of the towing vehicle may
result.
TOWING
A. Observe all Federal, State, and Local laws while
towing this equipment (including those specifying
minimum speed).
B. DO NOT exceed the towing speeds listed below
under ideal conditions. Reduce your speed
according to posted speed limits, weather, traffic,
road or terrain conditions:
1. Two axle four-wheel or three axle six-wheel
steerable models: 15 MPH (24 km/h).
2. All other models: 55 MPH (88 km/h).
C. Remember that the portable air compressor may
approach or exceed the weight of the towing
vehicle. Maintain increased stopping distances
accordingly. DO NOT make sudden lane
changes, U-turns or other maneuvers. Such
maneuvers can cause the compressor to tip, roll
over, jackknife or slide and cause loss of control
of the towing vehicle. Tipping, rolling over, etc.
can occur suddenly without warning. U-turns
especially should be made slowly and carefully.
D. Avoid grades in excess of 15° (27%).
E. Avoid potholes, rocks and other obstructions,
and soft shoulders or unstable terrain.
F. Maneuver in a manner that will not exceed the
freedom of motion of the compressor’s drawbar
and/ or coupling device, in or on the towing vehi-
cle’s coupling device and/or adjacent structure
whether towing forward or backing up, regard-
less of the terrain being traversed.
G. DO NOT permit personnel to ride in or on the
compressor.
H. Make sure the area behind, in front of, and under
the compressor is clear of all personnel and
obstructions prior to towing in any direction.
I. DO NOT permit personnel to stand or ride on the
drawbar, or to stand or walk between the com-
pressor and the towing vehicle.
PARKING OR LOCATING COMPRESSOR
A. Park or locate compressor on a level surface, if
possible. If not, park or locate compressor across
grade so the compressor does not tend to roll
downhill. DO NOT park or locate compressor on
grades exceeding 15° (27%).
B. Make sure compressor is parked or located on a
firm surface that can support its weight.
C. Park or locate compressor so the wind, if any,
tends to carry the exhaust fumes and radiator
heat away from the compressor air inlet open-
ings, and also where the compressor will not be
exposed to excessive dust from the work site.
D. On steerable models, park compressor with front
wheels in straight-ahead position.
7

E. Set parking brakes and disconnect breakaway
switch cable and all other interconnecting electri-
cal and/or brake connections, if provided.
F. Block or chock both sides of all wheels.
G. If provided, unhook chains and remove them
from the points of chain attachment on the towing
vehicle, then hook chains to bail on drawbar or
wrap chains around the drawbar and hook them
to themselves to keep chains off the ground
which might accelerate rusting.
H. Lower front screw jack and/or any front and rear
stabilizer legs. Make sure the surface they con-
tact has sufficient load bearing capability to sup-
port the weight of the compressor.
WARNING
This equipment may be tongue heavy. DO
NOT attempt to raise or lower the drawbar
by hand if the weight is more than you can
safely handle.
CAUTION
Retract the front screw jack only after
attaching the compressor to the tow vehi-
cle. Raise the screw jack to its full up posi-
tion and pull the pin connecting the jack to
the drawbar. Rotate the screw jack to its
stowed position, parallel to the drawbar,
and reinsert the pin. Make sure the jack is

is provided with a drawbar, DO NOT attempt to
lift the drawbar or if hinged, to raise it to the
upright position by hand, if the weight is more
than you can safely handle. Use a screwjack or
chain fall if you cannot lift or raise the drawbar
without avoiding injury to yourself or others.
K. Move the towing vehicle well clear of the parked
compressor and erect hazard indicators, barri-
cades and/or flares (if at night) if compressor is
parked on or adjacent to public roads. Park so as
not to interfere with traffic.
NOTE
While not towed in the usual sense of the
word, many of these instructions are
directly applicable to skidmounted porta-
ble air compressors as well.
1.3 PRESSURE RELEASE
A. Open the pressure relief valve at least weekly to
make sure it is not blocked, closed, obstructed or
otherwise disabled.
B. Install an appropriate flow-limiting valve between
the compressor service air outlet and the shutoff
(throttle) valve, when an air hose exceeding 1/2"
(13 mm) inside diameter is to be connected to
the shutoff (throttle) valve, to reduce pressure in
case of hose failure, per OSHA Standard 29 CFR
1926.302 (b) (7) or any applicable Federal, State
and Local codes, standards and regulations.
C. When the hose is to be used to supply a mani-
fold, install an additional appropriate flow-limiting
valve between the manifold and each air hose
exceeding 1/2" (13 mm) inside diameter that is to
be connected to the manifold to reduce pressure
in case of hose failure.
D. Provide an appropriate flow-limiting valve for
each additional 75 feet (23 m) of hose in runs of
SECTION 1
air hose exceeding 1/2" (13 mm) inside diameter
to reduce pressure in case of hose failure.
E. Flow-limiting valves are listed by pipe size and
rated CFM. Select appropriate valve accordingly.

mum rating of this compressor. Select tools, air
hoses, pipes, valves, filters and other fittings
accordingly. DO NOT exceed manufacturer’s
rated safe operating pressures for these items.
G. Secure all hose connections by wire, chain or
other suitable retaining device to prevent tools or
hose ends from being accidentally disconnected
and expelled.
H. Open fluid filler cap only when compressor is not
running and is not pressurized. Shut down the
compressor and bleed the sump (receiver) to
zero internal pressure before removing the cap.
I. Vent all internal pressure prior to opening any
line, fitting, hose, valve, drain plug, connection or
other component, such as filters and line oilers,
and before attempting to refill optional air line
anti-icer systems with antifreeze compound.
J. Keep personnel out of line with and away from
the discharge opening of hoses, tools or other
points of compressed air discharge.
K. DO NOT use air at pressures higher than 30 psig
(2.1 bar) for cleaning purposes, and then only
with effective chip guarding and personal protec-
tive equipment per OSHA Standard 29 CFR
1910.242 (b) or any applicable Federal, State
and Local codes, standards and regulations.
L. DO NOT engage in horseplay with air hoses as
death or serious injury may result.
M. This equipment is supplied with an ASME
designed pressure vessel protected by an ASME
rated relief valve. Lift the handle once a week to
make sure the valve is functional. DO NOT lift
the handle while machine is under pressure.
N. If the machine is installed in an enclosed area it
is necessary to vent the relief valve to the outside
of the structure or to an area of non-exposure.
O. DO NOT remove radiator filler cap until the cool-
ant temperature is below its boiling point. Then
loosen cap slowly to its stop to relieve any
excess pressure and make sure coolant is not
boiling before removing cap completely. Remove
radiator filler cap only when cool enough to touch
with a bare hand.
P. The ethyl ether in the replaceable cylinders used
in diesel ether starting aid systems (optional) is
under pressure. DO NOT puncture or incinerate
those cylinders. DO NOT attempt to remove the
center valve core or side pressure relief valve
from these cylinders regardless of whether they
are full or empty.
Q. If a manual blowdown valve is provided on the
receiver, open the valve to ensure all internal
pressure has been vented prior to servicing any
pressurized component of the compressor air/
fluid system.

latch or equivalent, and is fully engaged and
latched on the bail.
E. Use guide ropes or equivalent to prevent twisting
or swinging of the compressor once it has been
lifted clear of the ground.
F. DO NOT attempt to lift in high winds.
G. Keep all personnel out from under and away
from the compressor whenever it is suspended.
H. Lift compressor no higher than necessary.
I. Keep lift operator in constant attendance when-
ever compressor is suspended.
J. Set compressor down only on a level surface
capable of supporting at least its net weight plus
an additional 10% allowance for the weight of
water, snow, ice, mud, stored tools, and/or equip-
ment.
K. If the compressor is provided with parking
brakes, make sure they are set, and in any
event, block or chock both sides of all running
wheels before disengaging the lifting hook.
SECTION 1
1.10 ENTRAPMENT
A. Make sure all personnel are out of compressor
before closing and engaging enclosure doors.
B. If the compressor is large enough to hold a man
and if it is necessary to enter it to perform service
adjustments, inform other personnel before
doing so, or else secure the access door in the
open position to avoid the possibility of others
closing and possibly latching the door with per-
sonnel inside.
1.11 JUMP STARTING
A. Observe all safety precautions mentioned else-
where in this manual.
B. Batteries may contain hydrogen gas which is
flammable and explosive. Keep flames, sparks
and other sources of ignition away.
C. Batteries contain acid which is corrosive and poi-
sonous. DO NOT allow battery acid to contact
eyes, skin, fabrics or painted surfaces as serious
personal injury or property damage could result.
Flush any contacted areas thoroughly with water
immediately. Always wear an acid-resistant
apron and face shield when attempting to jump
start the compressor.
D. Remove all vent caps (if so equipped) from the
battery or batteries in the compressor. DO NOT
permit dirt or foreign matter to enter the open
cells.
E. Check fluid level. If low, bring fluid to proper level
before attempting to jump start (not applicable to
maintenance-free batteries).
F. DO NOT attempt to jump start if fluid is frozen or
slushy. Bring batteries up to at least 60 °F (16
°C) before attempting to jump start or it may
explode.
G. Cover open cells of all compressor batteries with
clean dampened cloths before attempting to
jump start.
H. Attempt to jump start only with a vehicle having a
negative ground electrical system with the same
voltage, and is also equipped with a battery or
batteries of comparable size or larger than sup-
plied in the compressor. DO NOT attempt to
jump start using motor generator sets, welders or
other sources of DC power as serious damage
may result.
I. Bring the starting vehicle alongside the compres-
sor, but DO NOT permit metal to metal contact
between the compressor and the starting vehicle.
J. Set the parking brakes of both the compressor (if
provided) and the starting vehicle or otherwise
block both sides of all wheels.
K. Place the starting vehicle in neutral or park, turn
off all non-essential accessory electrical loads
and start its engine.
L. Use only jumper cables that are clean, in good
condition and are heavy enough to handle the
starting current.
M. Avoid accidental contact between jumper cable
terminal clips or clamps and any metallic portion
of either the compressor or the starting vehicle to
minimize the possibility of uncontrolled arcing
which might serve as a source of ignition.
N. Positive battery terminals are usually identified
by a plus (+) sign on the terminal and the letters
POS adjacent to the terminal. Negative battery
terminals are usually identified by the letters
NEG adjacent to the terminal or a negative (-)
sign.
O. Connect one end of a jumper cable to the posi-
tive (POS) (+) battery terminal in the starting
vehicle. When jump starting 24V compressors
and if the starting vehicle is provided with two (2)
12V batteries connected in series, connect the
jumper cable to the positive (POS) (+) terminal of
the ungrounded battery.
P. Connect the other end of the same jumper cable to
the positive (POS) (+) terminal of the starter motor
battery in the compressor when jump starting 24V
compressors, to the positive (POS) (+) terminal of
the ungrounded battery in the compressor.
Q. Connect one end of the other jumper cable to the
grounded negative (NEG) (-) terminal of the bat-
tery in the starting vehicle. When jump starting
24V compressors and if the starting vehicle is
provided with two (2) 12V batteries connected in
series, connect the jumper cable to the negative
(NEG) (-) terminal of the grounded battery.
R. Check your connections. DO NOT attempt to
start a 24V compressor with one 12V battery in
the starting vehicle. DO NOT apply 24V to one
12V battery in the compressor.
S. Connect the other end of this same jumper cable
to a clean portion of the compressor engine
13

block away from fuel lines, the crank case
breather opening and the battery.
T. Start the compressor in accordance with normal
procedure. Avoid prolonged cranking.
U. Allow the compressor to warm up. When the
compressor is warm and operating smoothly at
normal idle RPM, disconnect the jumper cable
from the engine block in the compressor, then
disconnect the other end of this same cable from
the grounded negative (NEG) (-) terminal of the
battery in the starting vehicle. Then disconnect
the other jumper cable from the positive (POS)
(+) terminal of the battery in the compressor, or if
provided with two (2) 12V batteries connected in
series, from the ungrounded battery in the com-
pressor, and finally, disconnect the other end of
this same jumper cable from the positive (POS)
(+) terminal of the battery in the starting vehicle
or from the positive (POS) (+) terminal of the
ungrounded battery in the starting vehicle, if it is
provided with two (2) 12V batteries connected in
series.
V. Remove and carefully dispose of the dampened
cloths, as they may now be contaminated with
acid, then replace all vent caps.
1.12 IMPLEMENTATION OF
LOCKOUT/TAGOUT
The energy control procedure defines actions
necessary to lockout a power source of any machine
to be repaired, serviced or set-up, where unexpected
motion, or an electrical or other energy source, would
cause personal injury or equipment damage. The
power source on any machine shall be locked out by
each employee doing the work except when motion
is necessary during setup, adjustment or trouble-
shooting.
A. The established procedures for the application of
energy control shall cover the following elements
and actions and shall be initiated only by Autho-
rized Persons and done in the following
sequence:
1. Review the equipment or machine to be
locked and tagged out.
2. Alert operator and supervisor of which
machine is to be worked on, and that power
and utilities will be turned off.
3. Check to make certain no one is operating
the machine before turning off the power.
14
SECTION 1
4. Turn off the equipment using normal
shutdown procedure.
5. Disconnect the energy sources:
a. Air and hydraulic lines should be bled,
drained and cleaned out. There should be
no pressure in these lines or in the reser-
voir tanks. Lockout or tag lines or valves.
b. Any mechanism under tension or pres-
sure, such as springs, should be
released and locked out or tagged.
c. Block any load or machine part prior to
working under it.
d. Electrical circuits should be checked with
calibrated electrical testing equipment
and stored energy and electrical capaci-
tors should be safely discharged.
6. Lockout and/or Tagout each energy source
using the proper energy isolating devices
and tags. Place lockout hasp and padlock or
tag at the point of power disconnect where
lockout is required by each person
performing work. Each person shall be
provided with their own padlock and have
possession of the only key. If more than one
person is working on a machine each person
shall affix personal lock and tag using a
multi-lock device.
7. Tagout devices shall be used only when
power sources are not capable of being
locked out by use of padlocks and lockout
hasp devices. The name of the person
affixing tag to power source must be on tag
along with date tag was placed on power
source.
8. Release stored energy and bring the
equipment to a “zero mechanical state”.
9. Verify Isolation: Before work is started, test
equipment to ensure power is disconnected.
B. General Security
1. The lock shall be removed by the
“Authorized” person who put the lock on the
energy-isolating device. No one other than
the person/persons placing padlocks and
lockout hasps on power shall remove
padlock and lockout hasps and restore
power. However, when the authorized
person who applied the lock is unavailable to
remove it his/her Supervisor may remove
padlock/padlocks and lockout hasps and

STARTUP PROCEDURES
2.1 INTRODUCTION
This compressor is equipped with a Sullair Controller
for controlling the compressor system operation,
adjusting the machine parameters and performing
maintenance operations. The Controller utilizes
digital technology that ensures accurate and safe
operation of the compressor system. When fault
conditions occur, the Controller automatically shuts
down the machine to prevent injury to the operator or
damage to the equipment. Features of the Controller
include:
• Multiple gauges for display of pressure,
engine temp, compressor temp, engine
rpm, and fuel level
• LCD screen displaying machine status and
operating information
• Remote start capabilities
• Automatic self diagnosis at startup
• Multiple language support
• An external diagnostics port which allows
PC interface for configuration of the system
parameters.
• Backlighting of gauges with green LED to
allow clear view of gauges in low light
areas.
2.2 COMPASS CONTROLLER
PANEL LAYOUT
The Controller panel is shown in Figure 2-1 on page
18. The Controller components and functions are
described in detail in Section 4.
2.3 COMPASS CONTROLLER
POWER UP
The Controller is used to start the compressor either
manually or remotely.
CONTROLLER USER MANUAL
Manual Start: Start the machine by toggling the
<ON> switch to the “start” position on the Controller
panel. Once the switch has been set to the “start”
position and the Controller has successfully
initialized (see Self Test, Communication Checks
and Parameter/Safety Checks in this section for
further information), the Controller will check status,
and automatically continue to energize the starter
until either the engine starts or the maximum crank
duration is reached.
Auto Start: The compressor can be started remotely
if the remote start function has been enabled during
setup.
SELF TEST
When the Controller is initially powered up, the
system will initiate a “Self Test” sequence to verify its
operational integrity and safety status. During this
process, the following actions will be performed.
1. Gauge pointers will move to the zero posi-
tion, then to half and full scale, then back to
zero, and finally to the actual value reading.
2. The LCD display will turn on all its segments
for one second, off for one second, and then
display the Sullair logo followed by the soft-
ware product number with revision level.
3. All warning lights will turn on for 2.5 seconds
and then turn off, then set to the actual indi-
cator state.
The self test feature may be bypassed by disabling
the sequence as describe in Section 3 of this
manual.
COMMUNICATION CHECKS
After successful completion of the self test, the
Controller system will check the communication
status of the system.

ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
3.1 INTRODUCTION
This section describes steps for using the Controller
to modify specific parameters that control the
machine operation. Additional parameters (UCP) can
be viewed and adjusted using the PC User Interface.
See Figure 3-1.
Figure 3-1: J1939 Data communication cable
Part Number 02250173-104
MESSAGE DISPLAY CENTER
The message display is a graphical LCD that displays
information to the compressor operator. The screen is
backlit to allow the display characters to be clearly
visible under any lighting conditions. In addition to
basic operational information, a variety of user-defined
options may also be displayed when specified. Up to
four different parameters may be displayed at one
time; viewable parameters are displayed in Table 4-1.
Fault messages are displayed whenever a fault
condition occurs. The LCD display also allows the
operator to view instrumentation diagnostic data to aid
in controlling the system operation and in
troubleshooting problems. The screen is broken up
into two different information types' parameter display
and system display. See Figure 3-2.
CONTROLLER USER MANUAL
Figure 3-2: Display key
CONTRAST
The two buttons at the bottom right of Controller's
cluster panel can be used during normal operation to
adjust LCD contrast up and down. The end user
adjusts contrast by press and hold operation of either
button until satisfactory contrast level is achieved.
Any changes made by the end user are subsequently
retained in the Controller’s memory.
PARAMETER SECTION NAVIGATION
During normal operation the LCD displays real-time
values of up to four different system parameters at
once. The following table lists all available
parameters. To navigate the parameters you wish to
display, use Controllers selection and toggle
switches as follows:
• A short press and release of the <MENU SELECT>
switch, in the select position, will select one of the
parameter display lines. A different parameter dis-
play line can be selected by continued short press
and release of the <MENU TOGGLE> switch.
• Once the desired parameter display line is
selected, press the <MENU TOGGLE> switch, to
the <UP> or <DOWN> positions to scroll through
the different parameters available for viewing at
that line.
• The selected parameter display line will become
unselected after a period of no <UP>, <DOWN>,

PRESSURE CALIBRATION
Each of the pressure transducer inputs supported by
Controller can be calibrated to counter sensor/circuit
tolerance using the sub-menus displayed when the
user selects this menu entry. These screens are
used to specify a calibration offset, if needed. The
screens support a range of -100 to +100 kpa (factory
default is 0 kpa) for the pressure calibration offset.
This offset is added to the reading that Controller
sees from the respective pressure transducer and is
applied throughout subsequent operation. The offset
CONTROLLER USER MANUAL
value is stored in memory, so it is retained through
subsequent system power-ups.
In Figure 3-17 displayed below, the service pressure
(P1) calibration screen is displayed. The same
screen is available for P2 (control pressure) and P3
(wet pressure). The current value (with calibration
offset applied) is shown in large font at the bottom of
the screen, displayed in either psi or bar depending
on UCP units of measurement setting. The
calibration value, which is always in units of kPa (1
kPa = 0.01 bar), regardless of UCP units of
measurement, is displayed in smaller font to the far
right of the screen.
In Figure 3-18 immediately below, an example P1 is
displayed, with the factory default 0 kpa calibration
offset in use. If the end-user knows that, in fact, the
relative pressure level at the P1 sensor is 0 psi, then
the 2 psi value being read at Controller needs to be
calibrated. As can be seen from the second diagram
below, when an offset of -13 kPa is applied and set,
the P1 service pressure reading is adjusted to 0 psi.
Figure 3-17: Uncalibrated service pressure
Figure 3-18: Calibrated service pressure
TEMP CALIBRATION
Each of the temperature sensor transducer inputs
supported by Controller can be calibrated to counter
sensor/circuit tolerance using the sub-menus
displayed when the user selects this menu entry.
These screens are used to specify a calibration
offset, if needed. The screens support a range of -
10.0 to +10.0 F in units of 0.5 C (factory default is 0.0
C) for the temperature calibration offset. This offset is
added to the reading that Controller sees from the
respective temperature transducer and is applied
throughout subsequent operation. The offset value is
stored in memory, so it is retained through
subsequent system power-ups.

CONTROLLER USER MANUAL SECTION 3

In Figure 3-19 displayed below, the Compressor
Discharge Temperature (CDT) calibration screen is
displayed. The same screen is available for the
Aftercooler Discharge Temperature (ADT) and
Hydraulic Temperature (HT) sensors. The current
value (with calibration offset applied) is shown in
large font at the bottom of the screen, displayed in
either F or C depending on UCP units of
measurement. The calibration value, which is always
in units of 0.5 C, regardless of UCP units of
measurement, is displayed in smaller font to the far
right of the screen.
In Figure 3-20 immediately below, an example CDT
temperature is displayed, with the factory default 0.0
C calibration offset in use. If the end-user knows that,
in fact, the correct CDT temperature is currently 88 F,
then the 77 F value being read at Controller needs to

GAUGE TEST
The gauge test verifies the gauge pointer needle
functionality. The test proceeds sequentially from left
to right of the cluster panel, one gauge at a time. For
each gauge, the active gauge's pointer needle will be
driven to three reference positions pausing at each
position for 1 second. The reference position value,
represented as a percentage, is shown on the LCD.

DESCRIPTION
4.1 INTRODUCTION
This section describes the operation of the
Controller, the function of the controller components,
and the various types of displays that may appear on
the display screen. Descriptive lists of all messages
appearing in the display are also provided.
4.2 OPERATING MODES
4.2.1 SLEEP MODE
When the Controller is de-energized, all components
of the system are in <SLEEP> mode. Electrical
components are not active in <SLEEP> mode to
prevent battery drainage. The Controller allows the
system to enter <SLEEP> mode by deactivating its
24V -to- 12V power supply converter signal and
deactivating its switched power output signal that is
fed out to Sullair components (fuel sensor and power
to engine ECU).
The Controller has two hardware wake-up inputs.
1. The <ON> switch
2. The <REMOTE START> switch (if enabled).
Placing the <ON> switch in the “on” position will
generate a hardware wake-up at the LCC high-side
Ignition binary input. Placing the <REMOTE START>
binary input low will generate a hardware wake-up if
held low for greater than 750ms.
4.2.2 START-UP MODE
<START-UP> mode initializes the system
instrumentation components for operation. <START-
UP> mode is internal to the Controller and does not
permit engine/compressor activation.
<START-UP> mode is enabled by one of the
following two methods:
CONTROLLER USER MANUAL
1. Press the <ON> switch to “on”.
2. Activating the <REMOTE START> (if
enabled).
Placing the <ON> switch to the “on” position will
energize the gauges and begin initializing the system
for <WAITING> mode.
<START-UP> mode may be exited/cancelled before
reaching <WAITING> mode. If <START-UP> is
entered by placing the <ON> switch in the “on”
position, placing the switch in the OFF position
powers down the entire system. If a <START-UP>
initialization parameter is out-of-tolerance, the
Controller will enter a safe-shutdown state and
demand user interaction to completely power down
the unit.
NOTE
If the <START-UP> mode is entered via
<REMOTE START>, then only a <START-
UP> initialization parameter "out-of-tolerance"
failure and "Remote Start binary input not low"
will exit <START-UP> mode and prevent
entering <WAITING> mode. Otherwise, the
Controller will maintain <START-UP> mode
status while <WAITING> for allowable condi-
tions to begin initializing <WAITING> mode.
It is during <START-UP> mode that system integrity
is verified. System integrity verification involves
checks of functional instrumentation, communication
status, and confirmation of proper initial parameter
settings.
A successful completion of <START-UP> mode
transitions the Controller to the <WAITING> mode.
33
CONTROLLER USER MANUAL
4.2.3 WAITING MODE
When the Controller is in <WAITING> mode the LCD
display will indicate that the system is ready to be
started, as shown below. See Figure 4-1.
Figure 4-1: Unit ready display
The compressor can be started in one of the two
ways as described in Section 2. When the
compressor is <WAITING> to be started remotely, a
"Impending Remote Start" message at the top of the
LCD will display. When the appropriate remote start
conditions are met, the system will automatically
enter the <START-UP> mode, and the compressor
will start. While the compressor is attempting to start
in both manual and remote start mode, the LCD will
display the following screen in Figure 4-2.
Figure 4-2: Engine cranking display
<WAITING> mode is a transitional state between
initialization of the Controller, operation of the
compressor and compressor shutdown. In
<WAITING> mode, the Controller is ready to enter
an operational state. However, the compressor is not
active in <WAITING> mode. <WAITING> mode is
characterized by "Ready..." appearing on the LCD
top status message section. If remote start is
configured then "Ready..." will be displayed. See
Figure 4-3.
Figure 4-3: Unit ready display
<WAITING> mode to <RUN> mode is dependent on
user initiation of a compressor start enabler.
• Manual Start - initiated by the <ON> switch
placed in the “start” position.
34
SECTION 4
• Auto (Remote) Start or <REMOTE START
MOMENTARY> - remote start enabled.
In <WAITING> mode, the Controller is analyzing
specific system parameters to determine if
entering <SLEEP> mode is allowable. When the
necessary conditions are met, the system enters
<SLEEP> mode and all electrical components are
de-energized. If the compressor was enabled via
<REMOTE START>, the <ON> switch is disabled
and only a compressor malfunction will allow
entering <WAITING> mode and then <SLEEP>
mode.
The Controller can turn the compressor's cabin
lighting on and off via the <CABIN LIGHT> switch. In
<WAITING> mode, since the CAT engine is not
running, it is possible that cabin lighting could drain
system battery. The Controller monitors the battery
voltage and cabin lighting to guard against this
condition during the <WAITING> mode phase. In
such case, a cycled UCP lighting sequence, to warn
users who may be performing cabin maintenance of
the condition, is executed. The Controller cluster
screen also indicates this condition, as in the
following example screen. Note that after the UCP
number of warning cycles, cabin lighting is
automatically disabled regardless of keypad switch
position. See Figure 4-4.
Figure 4-4: Cabin lights “on” display
While in <WAITING> mode the Controller monitors
the ambient air temperature. When temperature is
below the UCP start-up aids set value while in
<WAITING> mode is as in Figure 4-5.

CONTROLLER USER MANUAL
4.2.6 AUTO-START (REMOTE) OPERATION
If <WAITING> mode is exited due to a remote (i.e.,
Automatic) start trigger, a momentary alert state,
during which the Controller alerts that an automatic
system startup is about to be attempted, takes place.
The duration of this alert state is configurable through
a Controller UCP. During this temporary alert state,
the LCD displays the text "Impending Remote Start"
in its bottom status area. The Controller's siren and
strobe light outputs are also activated. At the end of
the configured duration, the siren and strobe light
outputs are de-activated and the Controller attempts
to crank-start the CAT engine to enter warm up.
When using the auto-start feature, there are two
parameters that can be set by using the Controller.
The first is the P1 system service pressure value,
and the second is the time duration that the
compressor must stay at or above the P1 pressure.
These values are settable when the Communicator
software and communication adapter are installed.
When the compressor is operating in <AUTO-
START> mode, it will not enter a normal
<SHUTDOWN> mode until both conditions below are
met.
a. The system service pressure (P1) is greater
than the UCP (User Configurable Parame-
ter) specified level for the UCP specified
duration.
b. The "remote start" input has returned to its
normally open position.
In the event that an abnormal shutdown occurs, the
compressor could shut down without these
conditions being met. See Section 5:
TroubleShooting on page 41 for handling abnormal
shutdowns.
4.2.7 SHUTDOWN
Placing the switch in the OFF position will trigger the
normal shutdown state. Normal shutdown can be
initiated in any mode of compressor operation. The
<SHUTDOWN> mode can be entered when either of
the following conditions occurs:
If the Controller system was started manually, the
operator must press the <ON> switch to the “off”
position.
If the Controller system was auto-started (remote),
the system will enter <SHUTDOWN> mode when
both the service pressure (P1) is greater than the
specified level for the user-specified duration (Note:
36
SECTION 4
Both of these values are pre-set), and when the
remote start binary input is deactivated.
When the system enters the manual <SHUTDOWN>
mode, the compressor will complete the following
tasks before shutting down:
1. De-energize the engine crank output (if ener-
gized)
2. Display "Stop Initiated" shutdown LCD mes-
sage
3. Enter cool-down cycle

b. UCP P1,2,3 Pressure for Cool-down Com-
pletion
6. Monitor Engine Speed
a. Display new LCD message
b. Engine Speed must decrease to at least 10
rpm
7. Enter <WAITING> mode
However, during the final portion of shutdown, after
the Controller has stopped the compressor's engine,
the Controller no longer pays attention to the <ON>
switch (or remote start). The operator must wait until
this phase completes to restart the compressor.
When the Controller is initialized in auto-start, from
the remote start binary wake-up input, the front panel
<ON> switch is inoperable.
If remote start is UCP-configured as a momentary
switch, shutdown is initiated if the service pressure
demand violates UCP criteria. UCP P1 to shutdown
from auto-start is the maximum service pressure
allowed. If the service pressure exceeds the set point
for longer than UCP time allowed then shutdown is
initiated. See images in sequence below for details.
If remote start is not UCP-configured as a

TROUBLESHOOTING
5.1 TROUBLESHOOTING
INTRODUCTION
This Troubleshooting section is provided as a guide
to aid in diagnosing and resolving compressor
problems when they occur. The information
contained in Table 5-1:Troubleshooting Guide, has
been compiled from factory experience and contains
symptoms and usual causes for the described
problems. Each warning or fault message is listed
with conditions of when the problem may occur, a
probable cause, and a suggested solution to the
problem. DO NOT assume that these are the only
problems that may occur. This document cannot
address every possible adverse condition that may
occur nor does it provide every solution for the
potential troubles listed. All available data concerning
the trouble should be systematically analyzed before
undertaking any repairs or component replacement
procedures.
Always perform a detailed visual inspection when a
machine problem occurs prior to attempting any
repairs. Doing so may avoid unnecessary repair and/
or additional damage to the compressor.
Always remember to:
a. Check for loose wiring, loss of ground, wire
termination, etc.
b. Check for damaged piping.
c. Check for parts damaged by heat or an elec-
trical short circuit, usually apparent by discol-
oration or a burnt odor.
Should your problem persist after making the
recommended check, consult your nearest Sullair
Distributor or the Sullair Corporation factory service
department.

NOTE
Section 5.3 portrays common systematic
problems that can occur during Controller
operation. For a more thoroughly in-depth
coverage of the compressor operation trou-
bles, consult the Troubleshooting Section in
the machine’s operator’s manual.
5.2 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
INTRODUCTION
The following guide contains symptoms and usual
causes for the problems that may occur throughout
the compressor system. Each warning or fault
message that may appear is listed along with
conditions for the problem, a probable cause, and a
suggested solution to the problem. DO NOT assume
that these are the only troubles that may occur. The
following table denotes all warning/shutdown
conditions that the Controller will sense. Shutdown
conditions will display the associated message on
the LCD, light the compressor shutdown panel lamp,
shut the system down, and wait for operator to toggle
the <MENU TOGGLE> switch to “EXIT” to
acknowledge the fault condition before a restart may
be attempted. Warning conditions display the
associated message on the LCD and light the
compressor warning lamp. Under a warning
condition the system will continue to operate
normally.
