17.7 RAPID LANGUAGE SELECTION
When the keys K5 or K6 are pressed from the main screen, you can select the desired language immediately
without entering the submenus. The chosen language will become the one used also for all the setting
functions and messages of the controller.

18 COMPRESSOR CONTROL
18.1 START COMPRESSOR
When the machine is switched on (powered) the control unit starts the initial sequence and gets ready to control the compressor.
According to the sequence, with LED L1 lit the following screens will be shown on the display DY
<<< DNAIR MAXI >>> Pressure XX,X bar (psi)

Temperature XXX °C(°F)
Soft.Vers.: 1.0.0.1 Ready for start

If the compressor is running, Lines 1 and 2 always show the information described above.
Special signals (error messages), additional information or information about the management menu are displayed on LINES 3 and 4.
If LINE 3 shows “ready for start”, the compressor is ready to start.
The compressor is started with key K1
At this point the compressor may:

a) start, showing the messages concerning the starting and running phases
b) prepare to start with the following message

When the display indicates “Load run” the intake valve is open and the machine is running at full load (rated production of
compressed air).
The delivery pressure increases during operation and, once it reaches the predetermined threshold value of the maximum line pressure,
the control system switches the compressor to unload run by closing the intake valve (Unload run). When the pressure falls below the
predetermined minimum threshold value, the intake valve opens again and the machine resumes running at full load.

During unload operation, two cases may occur:
a) setting of AUTOMATIC operation
The compressor supplies this message followed by a Unload run

18.2 STOP COMPRESSOR
The machine is equipped with a timer in both stopping and restarting
The compressor is started with key K1
the compressor does not stop immediately, but begins a series of operations to stop the machine, depending on the operative conditions
at the time of the STOP command.
If at the time of STOP the compressor is running at full load, the control unit switches the machine to “unload run”.
The display DY shows a countdown; at the end of the countdown the motor is Stop in xxx sec.

18.3 EMERGENCY STOP
When the red emergency button PE is pressed, the compressor operation is blocked instantaneously, preventing a condition considered
dangerous.
The emergency button is also intercepted by the controller, which will show the
following message with LED L3 lit EMERGENCY STOP
Compressor block
To reset, release the EMERGENCY button PE and press the RESET key K3

19 CONFIGURATION – MENU TREE
The machine is configured in the test phase. However, the manufacturer authorises the end user to change some operating parameters
in order to optimise the machine’s performance for its intended use.
Any further modifications of the operative parameters are not accessible to the customer, but they may be carried out by qualified
personnel at service centres.
The main screen appears as follows:

6.3.1 TIME TO SERVICE
ACCESS: ALWAYS CF
Allows the user to check which is the first service to be performed on the compressor; other services to be performed within the next 100 hours after
this one are also displayed. In this way the user can plan the maintenance operations and eventually decide whether to replace several components at
a single service.
The same information can also be obtained, more rapidly, from the “Additional information menu”
6.3.2 COMPONENTS LIFE

ACCESS: ALWAYS CF
Indicates the remaining life of each component subject to periodic maintenance. The list of components is “customised” according to
the compressor on which the control unit is installed.
6.3.3 REPLACE AND RESET COMPONENTS

ACCESS: STOP RI-AS
If the function is enabled, it allows resetting of the component life counters after a service.
This function allows a Service Centre to grant or deny the Customer the possibility to do maintenance jobs himself and it is particularly
useful in the case of stipulating a programmed service contract:
DISABLED: with this setting the item on the menu concerning component replacement is deactivated at all access levels; it is
therefore not possible to RESET the hour counter of the various components (filters, oil, etc.) even if they have been replaced
ENABLED: with this setting the menu item “Replace components” is visible at all levels the User is therefore authorised to replace the
components and to reset the respective hour counters
The factory setting is “ENABLED”, that is the end User is allowed to perform maintenance.
ATTENTION! When the function is DISABLED the menu item “Replace components” is not longer visible at any level; so, when performing
service it is necessary to:
1. Type in the access PASSWORD
2. Set “Enable component RESET” = ENABLED
3. RESET the replaced components with the “Component replacement” menu, made visible by the setting in point 2.
4. Set “Enable component RESET” = DISABLED
At the end of the described operations the control unit is again protected against the unauthorised RESET of components.
6.3.4 MIN MAX COMPONENTS LIFE

ACCESS: STOP CA-AS
Shown below is a table with the programme of service operations to be carried out
Parameter Default value

Minimum service life air filter 500 hours
Maximum service life air filter 2000 hours
Minimum service life oil filter 500 hours
Maximum service life oil filter 2000 hours
Minimum service life oil 1000 hours
Maximum service life oil 8000 hours
Minimum service life oil separator 1000 hours
Maximum service life oil separator 4000 hours
Minimum service life dryer filters (*) 500 hours
Maximum service life dryer filters (*) 2000 hours
(*) only for compressors with built-in dryer

Remember that, for alphanumeric values, it is always possible to return to the factory values during the editing phase by pressing the
"RESET" key.
This menu is used for modifying the minimum and maximum service life of the components, so that customisation – which may be performed during
installation – remains within the defined range.
Example:
setting the following parameters:
Minimum service life air filter = 800 hours
Maximum service life air filter = 1200 hours
will mean that customisation of the “air filter service life” can be made only within the defined limits.
6.3.5 MODIFY COMPONENTS LIFE

19.4 ACCESS: STOP RI-AS
Factory settings:

Modify service life air filter 1000 hours
Modify service life oil filter 1000 hours
Modify service life oil 2000 hours
Modify service life oil separator filter 2000 hours
Modify service life dryer filters (*) 1000 hours
(*) only for compressors with dryer filters
"RESET" key.
NOTE: the first oil change should be made after the first 100 working hours: this is the only exception to the values in the table supplied.
The time for the first change of the oil filter cannot be modified.
This menu is for modifying the service life of the individual components, used for the counters that manage programmed maintenance.
Customisation is useful in the case of special applications or in particular working conditions.
Examples:
use of synthetic instead of mineral oil: the service life of the “oil” component can be increased
compressor installation in places with a high amount of dust in the environment: the service life of the various filters can be reduced for
more frequent servicing
6.3.6 BLOCK NO-MAINTENANCE

19.5 ACCESS: STOP RI-AS
This function allows protection of the compressor against the failure to carry out maintenance work.
When the life counter of a component arrives at zero the control unit sends the message
“Replace component”
XXX excess hours
where XXX represents the number of excess running hours with respect to the programmed service life of the component.
The following situations may occur, corresponding to the possible settings of the Block NO-maintenance function:
DISABLED: the count of the excess hours proceeds indefinitely, always accompanied by the message inviting the user to replace the
component, without ever blocking the machine
ENABLED: when the hour count reaches 30% of excess hours with respect to the service life of the component, it causes blocking of the
compressor; the respective error message is stored in the malfunctions log. Example: service life of the oil filter = 1000 hours; the compressor is
blocked when the counter arrives at 1300 running hours.
Once this function is ENABLED and combined with the “Enable component RESET” function (setting = DISABLED), it allows total
control of the compressor maintenance programme, denying the Customer the possibility to do the maintenance work himself, in the certainty that
they will be performed at the programmed intervals, otherwise the machine will be blocked.
When the compressor is blocked due to exceeding 30% of the service life of a component, it is possible, in cases of extreme necessity, to
perform the “forced start" procedure described in paragraph 9.
6.3.7 RUNNING HOURS
ACCESS: ALWAYS CF
This indicates the compressor running time (total running hours, running hours at full load).
The same information can also be obtained, more rapidly, from the “Additional information menu”
6.3.8 MODIFY RUNNING HOURS

ACCESS: STOP RI-AS
This menu allows the variation of the total hours and/or of the running hours at load of the compressor. The function may be useful when carrying
out a thorough overhaul of the compressor (example: replacement of the air end), or when installing a new electronic control unit on a compressor
that already has a certain number of running hours.
Access to the Service Centre level requires the typing in of a coded alphanumeric password in addition to the one for the “Service
Centre”; apply to the manufacturer’s Customer Service.
6.3.9 RESET CPU

ACCESS: STOP AS
This allows two different RESET operations of the electronic control unit:
RESET log file: allows the deletion of the error messages stored in the log
 total RESET: allows the total resetting of the electronic control unit, with the consequent loss of the machine "history” (compressor settings,
error messages, running hours, etc.)
The RESET functions must be authorised by the Manufacturer; access to the Service Centre level therefore requires the typing in of a coded
alphanumeric password in addition to the one for the “Service Centre"; apply to the manufacturer’s Customer Service for the necessary
authorisation.
6.3.10 COMPRESSOR TYPE MENU

ACCESS: STOP RI-AS
This menu allows the setting of the type of compressor on which the control unit is installed. Of course this choice is fundamental because it
conditions the compressor control mode and configures the basic operation parameters.
The type of compressor may be chosen among the following families (the string “xx” represents the rated pressure value of the compressor):
FAMILY APPLICABLE TO
Customised Prototype, modified or customised compressors
MOD 1 + dryer MOD1 xx bar with built-in dryer
MOD 1 no dryer-SM MOD1 xx bar without built-in dryer
The choice entails the automatic configuration of all the parameters at factory values. The following parameters are excluded from auto-
configuration and maintain the values set previously by the User:
MAINTENANCE Enable components RESET

Min-Max components life
Block NO-maintenance
GENERAL SETTINGS Language

Delay reaction time ON
Delay reaction time OFF
Choosing the “Customised” type of compressor allows creation of the parameter configuration of a new machine, inheriting the settings from another
“type of compressor”. It is then possible to customise the desired parameters by entering the setting/configuration menus.

Factory setting: ITALIAN ACCESS: ALWAYS CF
This menu allows the selection of the language used for the messages on the display; the standard software allows the selection of one of the
following twelve languages: Italian, English, German, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Danish, Polish, Slovenian, Dutch, Norwegian and Finnish.
(version with Cyrillic script: Italian, English, German, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian, Polish, Slovenian, Dutch, Norwegian and Finnish).

the control panel); “Lighting OFF” is the “residual” display brightness during phases of inactivity (after one minute without commands given from
the control panel).
"RESET" key.
6.4.5 OPERATING MODE

Factory setting: AUTOMATIC ACCESS: STOP CF
This menu allows you to configure whether the compressor is to operate with timed unload running or indefinite unload running (the
compressor never stops); the possible settings are AUTOMATIC or CONTINUOUS.
AUTOMATIC: this is the setting to be used in most cases. In this operating mode, unload running is timed; at the end of the count the
compressor stops and gets ready for the next automatic start. This saves energy when the system does not require compressed air or when the
demand is very low. The duration of unload running can be configured: refer to paragraph 6.5.3.
CONTINUOUS: this is the setting to be used in very particular applications, where there is a great variability in the consumption of
compressed air together with a reduced storage capacity of the system. With this setting the compressor starts unload running without ever causing
stopping of the motor and thus remains ready to provide air immediately when it receives a request from the network. The system configured in this
way is very reactive, but it presents the inconvenient aspect of greater energy consumption due to the fact that the compressor is always running. In
the case of variable speed compressors with CONTINUOUS operating mode, unload running is maintained at the minimum motor rotation speed to
minimise energy consumption.
6.4.6 COMPRESSOR CONTROL

Factory setting: LOCAL ACCESS: STOP CF
This menu allows you to select the compressor control mode from the possible options LOCAL / REMOTE / PROGRAM control.
If the compressor is fitted with the CAN-BUS communication system, the NET-CONTINUOUS / NET-PROGRAM options are also visible and
selectable.
LOCAL: this is the basic (factory) setting that allows direct control from the control panel keypad; the inputs for remote control and for any
daily/weekly program are ignored.

REMOTE: with this setting the compressor can be controlled with one or two external remote switches, connected to the dedicated digital
inputs.
PROGRAM: enables the daily or weekly programming set and activated in the “PROGRAMMING” menu. With the PROGRAM setting
the compressors maintain the possibility of remote control through a single external switch, which establishes whether the network has to follow the
set program or ignore it, remaining at rest.
NET – CONTINUOUS: this is the setting for operation of the set of compressors connected by means of the CAN-BUS module, with their
own communication functions (rotation, alarm management, etc.). With the NET – CONTINUOUS setting the compressors maintain the possibility
of remote control through a single external switch, which controls the collective switching on and off of all the compressors.
Even though remote control of the individual compressors is materially possible, it is strongly recommended not to do so, as this alters the network
management mode, decreasing the advantages derived from machine operation in communication.
NET – PROGRAM: this is the setting for operation of the set of compressors connected by means of the CAN-BUS module, with their
own communication functions (rotation, alarm management, etc.), and by the daily/weekly program.
With the NET - PROGRAM setting the compressors maintain the possibility of remote control through a single external switch, which establishes
whether the network has to follow the set program or ignore it, remaining at rest.
Even though remote control of the individual compressors is materially possible, it is strongly recommended not to do so, as this alters the network
management mode, decreasing the advantages derived from machine operation in communication.
NOTE: remember that control from the control unit keypad always has priority over any remote and/or program control: this means that, to allow the
remote control and/or program control to be effective, the START button must be pressed, putting the compressor into “Stand-by rem. comm.”
(“Stand-by progr.comm.”). Likewise it is possible to stop the compressor, without any fear of its being restarted remotely and/or by the preset
program, by pressing the STOP key K2.
For example, to enable the operation with remote control (without program) of a single compressor you must:
1) Make modifications to the wiring with the connection of one/two switches
2) Select REMOTE control
3) Select the control mode (ON/OFF, LOAD/UNLOAD, ON/OFF – LOAD/UNLOAD)
4) Make the compressor ready for remote control by pressing the START key K1 on the control unit.
Again for example, to enable the operation by program (without remote control) of a single compressor you must:
1) Select PROGRAM control
2) Select the programming mode to be followed (DAILY / WEEKLY)
3) Program the chosen daily or weekly calendar, first performing RESET if necessary
4) Enable program control by pressing the START key K1 on the control unit.
6.4.7 DRYER CONTROL

Factory setting: LOCAL ACCESS: STOP CF
This menu, visible only on compressors with a built-in dryer controlled by CPU, allows the dryer to be enabled or disabled.
With the dryer disabled the function of the condensate drainage solenoid valve is maintained.
6.4.8 TYPE OF REMOTE CONTROL

Factory setting: ON / OFF ACCESS: STOP CF
This parameter has influence only if remote control mode is set for the management of a single compressor.
When the compressor control is set as REMOTE it is possible to have three control modes:
ON / OFF: this is the setting that allows you to control the switching on and off of the compressor. It is the factory setting (the one most commonly
used) that allows exploitation of the compressor’s own control logic, using the pressure signal that the machine measures locally
LOAD/UNLOAD: this is the setting that allows you to control full load running and unload running mode by means of an external control logic: in
this case the pressure signal measured by the compressor is ignored for the purposes of the running mode control (the safety devices remain active).
In variable speed compressors the control of load/unload working conditions is combined with the speed control, so when the compressor is ordered
to run at load the suction regulator is opened and the motor goes to the maximum speed admissible for that pressure; when the compressor is ordered
to run at unload the suction regulator is closed and the motor goes to the minimum speed.
ON/OFF - LOAD/UNLOAD: this is the setting that allows you to control both the switching on/off of the compressor and the running mode. In this
case too an external control logic must be used, since the pressure signal is ignored for the purposes of the control (the safety devices remain active).
For variable speed compressors, the remarks in the previous paragraph apply.

6.4.9 AUTORESTART FUNCTION
Factory settings: DISABLED ACCESS: STOP CF
This menu allows you to set the AUTORESTART function, useful for automatic restarting of the machine after a black-out and the return of power.
The function is accessible also at User level, after having typed in the coded password referring to the control unit serial number.
6.4.10 INPUT CONFIGURATION

ACCESS: STOP RI
Fixed speed compressors:

INPUT 1 – Emergency NC
INPUT 2 – Phase sequence NC
INPUT 3 – Fan overload NC
INPUT 4 – Motor overload NC
INPUT 5 – Remote control NO
INPUT 6 – Load / upload control NO
INPUT 7 – Air filter clogged NO
INPUT 8 – Oil heater NO
Variable speed compressors:

INPUT 3 – INVERTER alarm NC
INPUT 4 – Motor PTC NC
INPUT 5 – Remote control NO
INPUT 6 – Load / unload control NO
INPUT 7 – Air filter clogged NO
INPUT 8 – Oil heater NO
This menu allows you to configure the state of the digital INPUTS of the electronic control unit. The main usefulness of this menu consists of the
following possibilities:
1. configuration of the REMOTE CONTROL inputs (INPUT 5 = ON/OFF control ;
INPUT 6 – LOAD / UNLOAD control)
2. temporary exclusion of an alarm device for malfunctions of the same (e.g. phase sequence relay): this allows you to avoid
making jumpers on the wiring
"RESET" key.
6.4.11 MAXIMUM SPEED CALIBRATION

ACCESS: STOP RI
This menu is present only on variable speed compressors and allows calibration of the analog INPUT of the control unit that measures the
speed of the electric motor.
Calibration is performed with the compressor running at maximum rotation speed; this condition may be obtained, for example, by making
the pressure provided by the compressor be lower than 4 bar.
In this running condition, calibration is performed automatically by pressing the ENTER key.
It is useful to perform calibration after replacing the motor, the INVERTER or the control unit and in all cases in which the compressor, at maximum
speed, presents a percentage of use lower than 100%.

6.4.12 OUTPUT CONFIGURATION
ACCESS: STOP RI

OUTPUT 7 – Alarm NO
OUTPUT 8 – Motor ON NO
This menu allows you to configure the state of the “free” digital OUTPUTS (not intended to activate machine appliances) of the electronic control
unit. The main usefulness of this menu consists of the possibility of configuring the ALARM output as preferred, according to plant requirements.
The Motor ON output is available only for compressors that do not have a dryer controlled by the control unit; otherwise this output is intended to
control the dryer, so its configuration is not accessible.
"RESET" key.
6.4.13 TYPE OF START

ACCESS: STOP AS
This menu allows you to set the type of compressor start; the possible settings are:
star-delta start
direct start
soft start
This menu is not present on variable speed compressors. Configuration is useful only for the factory settings or for making special compressors.
6.4.14 DRAIN VALVE ACTIVATION

ACCESS: STOP CF
This menu allows you to set the operating mode of the condensate drainage solenoid valve (DRAIN), choosing from the following possible
alternatives:
enabled in ON: the drainage solenoid valve is enabled (in timed mode) when the compressor is running, whether it is on load or unload
enabled on load: the drainage solenoid valve is enabled (in timed mode) only when the compressor is running on load
disabled: the condensate drainage solenoid valve is disabled
The factory setting is variable according to the type of compressor.
Configuration is useful only for the factory settings or for making special compressors.
6.4.15 OIL PRE-HEATING

ACCESS: STOP RI
This menu allows setting of the device for preheating the oil in the separator tank. The device is supplied in a KIT as an after-sale accessory. See the
KIT instructions manual for installation and configuration.
With the “AVAILABLE” setting the control unit becomes “sensitive” to the state of digital INPUT 8, inhibiting the starting of the compressor, for
safety reasons, when the oil heating resistance is active.
6.4.16 MAINTENANCE TIMES BASE

ACCESS: STOP RI
Factory settings: 1 hour 1 hour maintenance
This menu allows configuration of the times base on which the control unit operates. By changing the setting with:

6.4.18 PRESSURES
ACCESS: STOP CF/RI/AS
Max. operating pressure: this is the network pressure value beyond which the compressor changes to unload; the parameter is accessible also
at User level. The maximum settable value is represented by the “Max rated pressure” parameter. In variable speed compressors, reaching the
maximum pressure is also accompanied by slowing to the minimum allowed speed.
The factory setting coincides with the “Max rated pressure” contemplated for the type of compressor.
Min. operating pressure: this is the network pressure value on reaching which the compressor resumes operation on load or restarts after an
automatic stop; the parameter is accessible also at User level. The maximum settable value is limited by the “Max rated pressure” parameter
and by the “Min difference” value. In variable speed compressors, reaching the minimum pressure is also accompanied by acceleration to the
maximum speed allowed at that pressure.
The factory setting coincides with the “Max rated pressure” contemplated for the type of compressor, decreased by 1 bar (“Min
difference” value).
Max rated pressure: this is the pressure value that limits the “Max operating pressure” at the top; this value is set in the factory, based on the
machine configuration (type of compressor, transmission ratio, safety valves, tank approval pressure, etc.). There are no particular
contraindications in the reduction of the parameter value; however, since the increase of the value causes the compressor to run at higher
operating pressures than it was designed for, a series of modifications must be made to the machine.
Max overpressure: this is the network pressure value on reaching which the compressor is blocked for “Net pressure too high”. This alarm
threshold allows the compressor to be protected against external overpressure, caused by some compressors (the network pressure is measured
downstream from the machine's minimum pressure and check valve). The factory setting contemplates an overpressure of 1.5 bar with
respect to the programmed “Max operating pressure”; this does not apply to compressors with a rated pressure of 15 bar, for which the
"Max overpressure" value is limited to 1 bar. The overpressure alarm does not supply any indication on the state of clogging of the oil
separator filter.
Min difference: this is the minimum difference between the “Max. operating pressure” and the “Min. operating pressure”. When the “Max.
operating pressure” is reduced, also the “Min. operating pressure" is reduced accordingly, respecting the set “Min difference". The factory
setting contemplates a difference of 1 bar. It is recommended not to program lower values, to avoid too frequent changing over between load
and unload operation or, in the case of a variable speed compressor, too narrow a field of adjustment, with consequent operating instability.
6.4.19 TEMPERATURES
ACCESS: STOP RI/AS
Temper. fan ON: in compressors with a thermostat-controlled fan it supplies the temperature value at which the fan is activated. The factory
setting contemplates a value of 80°C for compressors at 8 and 10 bar and 90 °C for compressors at 13 and 15 bar. When the “Temper.
fan ON" is reduced, also the "Temper. fan OFF" is reduced accordingly, respecting a minimum difference of 5°C, useful to preserve the fan
against frequent starts. The modification of the “Temp. fan ON” and that of the “Temp. fan OFF” may be useful for adapting the thermal
conditions of the machine to the environmental conditions in which it has to operate. Hot and very humid climates (e.g. tropical climates)
generally require a rise in the operating pressure, so as to avoid the formation of condensate inside the separator tank; on the other hand this has
a negative effect on the machine performance (more viscous oils must be used) and on the lifetime of the oil (rapid deterioration). For
temperature climates with relatively low humidity it is possible to use a thermostat-controlled regime focussed on lower temperature values, all
to the advantage of the lasting integrity of the components (e.g. hoses, gaskets, etc.).
Temper. fan OFF: in compressors with a thermostat-controlled fan it supplies the temperature value at which the fan is deactivated. The
factory setting contemplates a value of 70°C for compressors at 8 and 10 bar and 80 °C for compressors at 13 and 15 bar. For
suggestions on how to set this parameter, refer to the description of the previous parameter.
Max Temper. alarm: represents the temperature at which the compressor indicates critical working conditions, without the machine being
blocked. The factory setting contemplates a value of 100°C. It is recommended not to modify this parameter.
Max Temper. block: represents the temperature at which the compressor is blocked for too high compression temperature. The factory
setting contemplates a value of 110 °C. It is recommended not to modify this parameter.
Min Temper. alarm: represents the temperature at which the compressor indicates critical working conditions (typically during starting),
without the machine being blocked. The factory setting contemplates a value of 5°C. It is recommended not to modify this parameter.
Min Temper. block: represents the temperature at which the compressor is blocked for low ambient temperature. The factory setting
contemplates a value of 0°C. It is recommended not to modify this parameter. Low ambient temperature is a critical condition for starting
the compressor; in fact, the high viscosity of the oil may cause a low oil flow rate (poor or insufficient lubrication) and high starting torques.
Temperatures below 0°C are absolutely to be avoided as the following events may occur: the oil is separated from the water (condensate) that it
contains, creating a stratification of liquids inside the separator tank; the water, which lies at the bottom of the tank, freezes, forming a plug of
ice in the oil drawing pipe; when the compressor starts the oil is unable to circulate and the air end may seize in just a few seconds’ operation.
When the compressor is blocked for low ambient temperature you can, in a case of extreme necessity, perform the "forced start" procedure
described in paragraph 9. In compressors with a system for preheating the oil, blocking of the machine for low temperature is inhibited, as the
oil in the tank is kept at the required temperature with the electric resistance.
Temperature DRYER OFF: this parameter is present only when the compressor is fitted with a built-in dryer controlled by the electronic
control unit. It represents the temperature value at which the refrigerating compressor of the dryer is deactivated. The factory setting
contemplates a value of 0°C. It is recommended not to modify this parameter.
Temp. diff. DRYER: this parameter is present only when the compressor is fitted with a built-in dryer controlled by the electronic control unit.
It represents the (positive) difference between the refrigerating compressor deactivation temperature (“Temperature DRYER OFF”) and the
activation temperature. The factory setting contemplates a value of 6°C. It is recommended not to modify this parameter. If the setting of
the two parameters for control of the dryer is the factory setting, the refrigerating compressor is activated when the dewpoint temperature
reaches 6°C and is deactivated when it reaches 0°C.
Dewpoint OFFSET: represents the difference between the temperature measured by the sensor and that shown on the display. The factory
setting contemplates a value of 0°C. It is recommended not to modify this parameter.

6.4.20 TIMINGS
ACCESS: STOP CF/RI/AS
Unload run time: this is the unload run time that begins when the compressor reaches “Max. operating pressure” ; if during unload running the
network pressure does not fall below the “Min. operating pressure”, at the end of the timer count the compressor will stop, getting ready to
restart automatically if there is a request for air from the net. If the compressor is configured in “CONTINUOUS” operating mode, instead of
the “AUTOMATIC” setting the unload run time will be of undetermined length. The factory setting contemplates a value of 5 minutes for
fixed speed compressors and 1 minute for variable speed compressors. The usefulness of unload running is that it “links” successive load
runs (supplying compressed air) and the compressor is ready to produce air immediately when there is a request from the network.
The use of too short unload run times may lead to frequent starts and to the dilution of the oil in the condensate deriving
from the humidity of the air, due to the low running temperature of the condenser.
Time DRAIN open: this is the opening time of the solenoid valve for draining condensate; it determines the length of the draining phase and of
any waste of air. The factory setting is variable according to the type of compressor. The parameter must be configured, together with the
“Time DRAIN closed”, according to the environmental humidity of the place of installation; humid climates require longer drain times, dry
climates require shorter drain times. The adjustment of the drain time also depends on the compressor configuration: in the same environmental
conditions, a machine with a dryer requires longer condensate drain times than a similar compressor without a dryer. In general terms it is
preferable to have frequent condensate drains of short duration, rather than infrequent and of long duration.
Time DRAIN closed: this is the time that the solenoid valve for draining condensate remains in “closed” position. The more the parameter is
set on low values, the more frequent (close together) will be the condensate drains. The factory setting is variable according to the type of
compressor. The parameter must be configured, together with the “Time DRAIN open”, according to the environmental humidity of the place
of installation; humid climates require more frequent draining. The adjustment of the drain frequency also depends on the compressor
configuration: in the same environmental conditions, a machine with a dryer requires more frequent draining than a similar compressor without
a dryer. In general terms it is preferable to have frequent condensate drains of short duration, rather than infrequent and of long duration.
Stop time: this is the time for which the compressor motor is kept turning after the STOP command given by the operator, with the suction
regulator closed (unload run with internal pressure discharge); the usefulness of this phase consists of the decrease of the internal pressure
before the pumping group stops, thus avoiding mechanical stress due to a sudden stop in pressure. In variable speed compressors the “Stop
time” is the unload run time accompanied by slowing down to the minimum speed, which precedes the deceleration ramp for stopping the
compressor. The factory setting is variable according to the type of compressor and to the “Max rated pressure”. It is recommended not
to modify this parameter.
Blowdown time: this is the time during which the compressor discharges the internal pressure, in order to minimise the energy consumed
during unload run or to get ready to restart with low loads on the electric motor. The counting of the blowdown time starts at the same time as
the closure of the compressor’s suction regulator, as an effect of the changeover to unload run, a time stop commanded by the operator, an
emergency stop or a machine alarm. During the “Blowdown time”, if the electric motor is stopped any kind of start is inhibited. The factory
setting is variable according to the type of compressor and to the “Max rated pressure”. It is recommended not to modify this
parameter.
Time fan ON: this is the time that the fan remains on after stopping of the motor that drives the compressor. This parameter is effective only
for compressors in which the fan is controlled for the purposes of thermostat control of the oil circuit; otherwise the fan stops at the same time
as the main motor. The factory setting contemplates a value of 15 seconds.
Min time DRYER OFF: this parameter is present only when the compressor is fitted with a built-in dryer controlled by the electronic control
unit. It represents the minimum time that the refrigerating compressor of the dryer is kept off; its function is to protect the dryer against too
frequent starts. The timer starts whenever the refrigerating compressor is deactivated; during the timing count restarting is inhibited,
irrespective of the measured dewpoint temperature values. The factory setting contemplates a value of 60 seconds. It is recommended not
to modify this parameter.
AUTORESTART delay: this parameter represents the delay with which the compressor restarts automatically after power is restored following
a black-out. The setting is effective only if the AUTORESTART function is active. During restarting the control unit shows the message
“AUTORESTART” and a countdown on the display; the led XXX blinks, warning the operator that restart is imminent. The factory setting
contemplates a value of 10 seconds.
Star-delta time: this parameter, visible only on fixed speed compressors (with star-delta start), represents the duration of the “star phase”
during machine starting. The ideal value is the one that allows steady running speed to be reached in the star phase. Times that are too short
cause strong electrical and mechanical overloads on the switching of the star-delta contactors; times that are too long cause needless delays in
the supply of compressed air. The factory setting is variable according to the type of compressor. It is recommended not to modify this
parameter.
Star-delta delay: this is the delay with which the “delta contactor” closes with respect to the opening of the “star contactor”. This parameter is
present only on fixed speed compressors (with star-delta start). The factory setting is 20 msec. It is recommended not to modify this
parameter.
Acceleration time: this is the time that passes between the closing of the “delta contactor” and the command to open the suction regulator.
This delay allows the motor to return to steady speed conditions after the star-delta changeover. The parameter is present only on fixed speed
compressors. The factory setting is 20 msec. It is recommended not to modify this parameter.
Max press. switch delay: this parameter is present only on fixed speed compressors. Some compressors have a safety pressure switch able to
intercept the state of clogging of the oil separator filter, causing blockage of the machine if the upstream pressure is too high. The delay
parameter applies a filter to the signal coming from the pressure switch to avoid undesired blocks, caused by brief peaks in pressure. The
factory setting is 200 msec. It is recommended not to modify this parameter.
Max No. starts/hr: this parameter defines the maximum number of starts that the compressor can make in an hour, in order to protect the
electric motor. The factory setting is variable according to the type of compressor. It is recommended not to modify this parameter.

When the compressor is blocked due to exceeding the allowed number of starts, it is possible, in cases of extreme necessity, to perform
the “forced start" procedure described in paragraph 10.1.
6.4.21 SPEED CONTROL

ACCESS: STOP AS
This menu and all its submenus are present only on fixed speed compressors.
Bottom speed: represents the speed of the electric motor corresponding to the minimum signal (4 mA) supplied by the control unit to the
analog INPUT of the INVERTER. In correspondence to this signal the INVERTER provides the minimum programmed frequency feeding the
motor. The factory setting is variable according to the type of compressor. It is recommended not to modify this parameter.
Top speed: represents the speed of the electric motor corresponding to the maximum signal (20 mA) supplied by the control unit to the analog
INPUT of the INVERTER. In correspondence to this signal the INVERTER provides the maximum programmed frequency feeding the motor.
The factory setting is variable according to the type of compressor. It is recommended not to modify this parameter.
Min speed: represents the minimum allowed speed of the electric motor in running conditions. Typically this speed is reached when the
pressure approaches “Max operating pressure”, when the compressor works for a certain time above the target pressure (mean between “Max
operating pressure” and “Min operating pressure”, or when the compressor is on unload run or is stopping. The factory setting is variable
according to the type of compressor. It is recommended not to modify this parameter.
Max speed: represents the maximum allowed speed of the electric motor in running conditions. Typically this speed is reached when the
pressure is low, during the first filling of the system. The factory setting is variable according to the type of compressor. It is
recommended not to modify this parameter.
Max speed 13bar: represents the maximum allowed speed of the electric motor in a hypothetical point of operation at 13 bar; this parameter
allows you to define the slope of adjustment of the maximum admissible speed at each operating pressure, in compatibility with the power
available. The factory setting is variable according to the type of compressor. It is recommended not to modify this parameter.
Fan ON speed: this parameter allows you to define at what speed of the main motor the compressor fan should start, in the motor acceleration
phase. The factory setting is variable according to the type of compressor. It is recommended not to modify this parameter.
Suction start speed: this parameter allows you to define at what speed of the main motor the suction regulator should open, in the motor
acceleration phase. The factory setting is variable according to the type of compressor. It is recommended not to modify this parameter.
PWM integration time: this parameter allows you to manage the voltage variation of the inverter command
PRS integration time: this parameter determines the “window” value of the network pressure to be monitored
SPD integration time: this parameter defines the interval of time between two consecutive speed corrections
based on the evaluation of the network pressure. If the pressure is below the target value the speed
correction is positive (the motor is accelerated); instead, if the pressure is above the target value the speed
correction is negative (the motor is decelerated).
The factory setting is 200 msec.
It is recommended not to modify these parameters.
The extent of the speed correction is defined by the following parameter.
SPD integration RPM: this parameter defines the maximum correction (positive or negative) to be made at each “SPD integration time”. Bear
in mind that, for greater fluidity and stability of regulation, the correction is maximum when the pressure is at the extremes of the range of
adjustment (“Max operating pressure” and “Min operating pressure”), while it is nil at the target value (mean between “Max operating pressure”
and “Min operating pressure”). The factory setting is 10 RPM. Usually this parameter is suitable for most applications; in cases where the
compressor appears to be particularly slow in restoring the target pressure it is possible to increase the parameter value; on the contrary, if the
network pressure is unstable and continuously swinging around the target value, it is better to decrease the parameter value. When the
parameter is set at zero the system will no longer be able to make speed corrections in steady operating conditions, and so it will not guarantee a
constant network pressure.
Pressure for max speed: represents the maximum pressure that the compressor can “reach” (during the first filling of the system) with the
motor at "Max speed". The factory setting is 5.5 bar. It is recommended not to modify this parameter.

19.8 PROGRAMMING MENU
ACCESS: STOP CF
The PROGRAMMING menu allows you to set the calendar of activities of the compressor or of the network of compressors, defining days and times
in which they must be on. Programming may be on a daily basis (the same every day) or on a weekly basis (a different program for each day of the
week).
Programming does not exclude the possibility of remote control, but is integrated with it. It can also be used for the control of the network of
compressors.

NOTE: remember that control from the control unit keypad always has priority over and remote and/or program control: this means that, to allow the
remote control and/or program control to be effective, the START button must be pressed, putting the compressor into “Stand-by rem. comm.”
(“Stand-by progr.comm.”). Likewise it is possible to stop the compressor, without any fear of its being restarted remotely and/or by the preset
program, by pressing the STOP key K2.
To enable operation with program control you must:
1) Select the PROGRAM control or, in the case of communicating compressors, NET-PROGRAM
2) Select the programming mode to be followed (DAILY / WEEKLY)
3) Program the chosen daily or weekly calendar, first performing RESET if necessary
4) Enable program control by pressing the START key K1 on the control unit.
5) If there is a remote control device, enable it, to supply consent to the compressor and follow the set program
6.6.1 RESET PROGRAMMING

ACCESS: STOP CF
Allows you to delete all the contemplated cycles in both daily and weekly programming. The deleting operation cannot be cancelled.
6.6.2 PROGRAMMING MODE
This menu indicates to the control unit whether, once the PROGRAM control is activated, the machine must follow daily or weekly
programming. The two types of programming are independent.
6.6.3 DAILY PROGRAMMING

ACCESS: STOP CF
Daily programming allows the setting of up to a maximum of four start/stop cycles. These cycles are repeated the same, every day of the week.
The following rules apply:
- Non programmed cycles, identified by five dashes replacing the time, are ineffective
- Cycles having the same time for starting and stopping are ineffective, just like non programmed ones
- If the last programmed cycle presents stopping time at 24:00 and the first daily cycle presents starting time at 00:00, the control unit will
keep the compressor active when passing at midnight from one day to the next.
6.6.4 WEEKLY PROGRAMMING

ACCESS: STOP CF
Weekly programming allows the setting of different start/stop cycles for each day of the week, up to a maximum of three per day.
The following rules apply:
- Non programmed cycles, identified by five dashes replacing the time, are ineffective
- Cycles having the same time for starting and stopping are ineffective, just like non programmed ones
- If the last programmed cycle for a given day presents stopping time at 24:00 and the first cycle programmed for the next day presents
starting time at 00:00, the control unit will keep the compressor active when passing at midnight from one day to the next.

20 COMMUNICATION BETWEEN COMPRESSORS
The control unit has the particular feature that it can be connected to control units of the same type to create “communication” between
compressors.
Communication allows the management of a network of compressors, up to a maximum of four connected machines, with coordinated
control functions; the functions that can be accomplished through communication are:
1. timed rotation of the running compressors
2. coordinated operation of fixed speed and variable speed compressors
3. alarm management
4. limitation of the number of compressors working at the same time
5. timed prefillling of the system
6. daily/weekly programming of the compressor network
7. remote control of the compressor network
The advantages offered by coordinated management with communication between compressors are:
1. equal sharing of the compressor work load, with consequent synchronisation of maintenance work
2. energy saving, thanks to the “splitting up” of the air flow to be produced and the automatic reduction of the work pressure difference
3. “intelligent” management of the redundant compressors
The control algorithm of compressor rotation (SEQUENCE) offers the best performances when the connected compressors have the same or
comparable performances (comparable compressed air flow rates), while it cannot provide the described advantages if the connected machines
supply very different flows. This does not apply to the combination of fixed speed and variable speed compressors (generally only one unit), where
the variable speed compressor can have substantially different performances from the fixed speed ones. Instead, the control algorithm in
SYNCHRONY allows the connection of compressors of different sizes, albeit with limitations on the network control functions.
20.1 INSTALLATION
This paragraph provides indications for the installation and connection of the network communication boards. At origin, variable speed
compressors are already equipped with the network communication module. It is presumed that all the compressors have been correctly installed
(pneumatic and electrical connection) according to the instructions in the User manual of each machine.
Note: this paragraph IS NOT INTENDED AS A REPLACEMENT of the manual supplied in the pack of CAN-BUS communication
modules, but merely as an extension.
To make the CAN-BUS communication you must have a module for each compressor to be connected in the network.
For network operation it is indispensable for the communicating compressors to be connected with the same storage capacity; if there
is a manifold for the flows of the individual compressors, it must have suitable dimensions so that, in operating conditions, the individual
machines “read” the same system pressure.
CAUTION! Check that the software version installed on the control units is 2.0.1.0 or later. If the software version is prior to the one
indicated, it must be updated: contact the Manufacturer’s Customer Service. To check the software version, look at the screen that appears
as soon as the electric power of the compressor is switched on, or consult the INFORMATION menu.
CAUTION! Switch off the electric power supply to the compressors before installing the CAN-BUS communication modules.

20.2 ASSEMBLY OF THE CAN-BUS MODULE
The CAN-BUS communication module must be assembled on the rear of the control unit, in the area indicated in figure COM1.
1. remove the protection of the plastic label corresponding to connector X07

2. insert the communication module in the housing, ensuring that the board terminals fit into the corresponding terminals on the control unit
(figure COM2)
3. tighten the screw 3 x 10 supplied in hole B (figure COM1), inserting the faston as in figure COM3.
20.3 CONNECTIONS FOR COMMUNICATION

The connecting cable (not supplied) must be twisted around 3 leads + shield; the shield must be connected to the earth faston of each control unit.
The maximum allowed length is 800 metres between the first and the last machine.
20.3.1 CONNECTION OF 4 COMPRESSORS

The connections between the 4 machines must be made as in figure COM4 (wiring diagram) and figure COM5 (functional diagram).
The first machine (compressor 1) and the last machine (compressor 4) must have a jumper between CAN3 and CAN4, making the
terminal connections of the CAN-BUS network.

The wiring diagram is shown in figure COM6
Connect the shield as shown in figure COM5.

The wiring diagram is shown in figure COM7
Connect the shield as shown in figure COM5.

21 CONFIGURATION AND OPERATION
21.1 MASTER-SLAVE SYSTEM
The network of communicating compressors is based on the MASTER - SLAVE principle. This principle consists of assigning the role of
MASTER to one machine in the network and the role of SLAVE to the remaining machines. The MASTER controls the network, receiving, through
communication, all the useful information from the SLAVES.
The MASTER is defined by the attribution of the network identification number ID #1, the SLAVES by the other numbers ID #2, #3, #4.
The parameters must always be configured on the MASTER, the only machine able to "impose" its configuration on the others.
The MASTER is always recognisable by the blinking L4 Remote / Program LED. Moreover, from the main screen, by pressing +/- it is
possible to view various parameters, including the network identification number ID.
The system developed is of the REAL MULTI-MASTER type and is based on CAN-BUS communication technology. With this technology the
network is not “rigidly” configured but, when necessary (e.g. black-out of the MASTER compressor), the role of MASTER is automatically
transferred from one machine to another, in which case the last one inherits all the parameters for network management. This makes the system very
flexible and reliable.
21.2 SYNCHRONY AND SEQUENCE MODES

The compressor network can work on two different communication levels: SYNCHRONY mode and SEQUENCE mode
21.2.1 SYNCHRONY MODE

In this mode the connected compressors exchange a limited amount of information:
system time and date
language of the messages displayed
Operation in SYNCHRONY mode is, to all effects, an independent operation of the individual compressors and does not contemplate timed rotation
or alarm management. The usefulness of SYNCHRONY mode is limited to those cases where compressors of different sizes have to work in
different time bands, in the certainty that the clock that controls them is the same for all the machines.
Setting SYNCHRONY mode contemplates:
1. setting the ID of the individual compressors (see paragraph 3.3)
2. the choice of an independent operating mode of the individual compressors as desired (LOCAL/REMOTE/PROGRAM) in the
menu GENERAL SETTINGS Compressor control; refer to the instructions manuals of the individual compressors.
EXAMPLE:
you want a 40 HP compressor to run from 7:30 to 13:00 and a 15 HP compressor to run from 14:00 to 17:30; make the communication in
SYNCHRONY mode and set the compressors for PROGRAM operation (daily or weekly) according to the desired times. Note: since there is no
alarm management, if one compressor is blocked due to a fault the other DOES NOT intervene.
21.2.2 SEQUENCE MODE

In this mode the connected compressors exchange a considerable amount of information, including:
system time and date
language of the messages displayed
operating parameters
alarm conditions
local network pressure measured by the individual sensors
The functions accomplished through SEQUENCE mode are the coordinated management of the network of compressors, with rotation of the starting
priority, to obtain an equal sharing of the working hours.
The compressor starting priorities change after the “Sequence rotation time”, programmed by the user; this time is calculated on the total working
hours of the network, that is on the time in which at least one of the communicating compressors is running.
The compressor starting sequence, according to the assigned priority, can be seen in the additional information menu, accessed from the
main screen by pressing the +/- keys.

EXAMPLE:
a network of four compressors is programmed to rotate the starting priorities every 24 working hours; defining with "A" the compressor that starts
first (maximum priority) and with the other letters the compressors with gradually declining starting priority, will give:
time ID 1 ID 2 ID 3 ID 4
at 0 hours A B C D
after 24 hours B C D A
after 48 hours C D A B
after 72 hours D A B C
after 96 hours A B C D
Setting SEQUENCE mode contemplates:

1. setting the ID of the individual compressors (see paragraph 3.3)
2. the choice of a network operating mode, made on the individual compressors (NET_CONTINUOUS / NET-
PROGRAM) in the menu GENERAL SETTINGS Compressor control; refer to the instructions manuals of the
individual compressors.
3. the configuration of the compressor operating parameters, the same for all the machines, carried out on the MASTER
compressor
4. the setting of the other network management parameters, such as the “Sequence rotation time”, the prefill function, etc., also
carried out on the MASTER compressor
In SEQUENCE mode the compressors are started, stopped, run on load or unload according to the network requests.
The control is based on the network pressure (mean of the pressures measured by the individual communicating compressors).
The diagram in figure COM8 represents the activity of a network of four communicating compressors, in SEQUENCE mode.
· the “Min operating pressure” (pmin) is the pressure value below which all the compressors available and enabled are started and/or
commanded to run at full load
· the “Max operating pressure” (pmax) is the pressure value above which all the compressors available and enabled are commanded to run at
unload
· The pressure pON represents the pressure value below which the compressor with the highest priority is started and/or commanded to run
at full load
· The pressure pOFF represents the pressure value above which the compressor with the highest priority is commanded to run at unload
The pON and pOFF values are calculated by the control system based on the limits pmax e pmin , on the number of compressors available to run on
load, and on the number of compressors already running on load. The higher the number of compressors available, the narrower the “band”
determined by pON and pOFF , achieving “fine” pressure control, to the advantage of energy saving. Within the “band” determined by pmax and
pmin , the “band” determined by pON and pOFF , moves upwards or downwards in order to make the network stable, activate the minimum number
of compressors necessary and minimise the number of compressors running at unload.
ATTENTION! For good operation of the set of compressors it is important for the “Max. operating pressure” and “Min. operating
pressure” values to be set in the same way as on a single compressor; in fact the control system automatically decreases the difference in
operating pressures, based on a set of network parameters.
21.2.3 NETWORK PARAMETERS CONFIGURATION

Once installation has been completed as described in chapter 7, you can configure the communication parameters.
Open the stop valves between the individual compressors and the pneumatic network
Power the compressors
If the communication boards and the connecting wiring have been correctly installed,
 The MASTER compressor (which controls the network) will have LED L4 blinking
 The SLAVE compressors will have LED L4 with a fixed light
NOTE: if the control units have never been configured before for network operation, all the compressors will have LED L4 blinking, until a
different “net ID” identification number is assigned to each compressor (see following paragraph).

21.2.4 COMPRESSOR ID
ACCESS: STOP CF
This represents the identification number of the compressor in a set of machines; each compressor must have a different ID from the others, or the
network will not work.
The MASTER compressor is identified as ID #1, the SLAVE compressors as ID #2, #3, #4.
The MASTER role is taken by the compressor configured as ID #1, unless this compressor is inactive (not powered), in which case the role is taken
by the compressor with the next ID.
All the configurations of the network operating parameters (e.g. maximum pressure, minimum pressure, unload run time, etc.) must be
carried out on the MASTER compressor (recognisable by the blinking LED L4): in this way all the settings are inherited by the
SLAVE compressors as soon as the parameters are confirmed. Any modifications of the parameters made on the SLAVE compressors
have no effect, as the parameters are immediately overwritten with the values memorised on the MASTER.
21.2.5 Number compressors in prefill / prefill time

Prefill is the system pressurisation phase, starting from the condition of zero or at least very low pressure.
If the number of compressors in prefill is set at zero, the prefill phase is managed just like any operating condition; if the pressure is
low the system will start all the compressors available in the network in rapid succession, in order to reach the system operating
pressure in the shortest possible time.
Normally, for reasons of energy saving, it is decided to carry out the system “filling” phase with a limited number of compressors, accepting the
reaching of the operating pressure in a longer time. By setting the number of compressors in prefill you determine how many machines must take
part in this phase.
The prefill phase ends in one of the two following cases:
the pressure that causes the switching off of one of the active compressors in the network has been reached
the prefill time is ended
At the end of the prefill phase the system goes into normal network management conditions: if the pressure has not yet reached the operating values,
all the compressors still available are started in rapid succession.
21.2.6 Max number of compressors ON

This parameter defines the maximum number of compressors that are enabled to operate at the same time. In fact, in many
installations all the compressors in the network cannot operate at the same time due to limits of the electric power available; in other
cases the user wants to limit the number of compressors working at the same time because there are redundant machines in the network
(to be activated only in the event of blockage of the ones normally operating).
EXAMPLE:
a network of three compressors has been sized so that only two machines can cope with the need of compressed air; the third machine is a “spare”.
By setting the maximum number of compressors ON at two, you will obtain, at the most, the simultaneous operation of two machines; the third one
is activated only if one of the first two stops. The two active machines are “chosen” in rotation among the ones available, respecting the sequence
rotation time (SEQUENCE mode).
21.2.7 Sequence rotation time

This is the time after which the compressor starting priorities are reassigned, to ensure that, over a long stretch of time, the workload is evenly
distributed among the available machines; see paragraph 3.2.2. For sequence rotation the network operating time is considered, that is the time in
which at least one of the communicating compressors is running.
The minimum sequence rotation time is one hour; to check the sequence functionality, a test time of five minutes is available. With this setting the
installer can check whether the procedure for reassigning priorities is working correctly.
CAUTION! Do not use this setting for normal network operation, but only for the test during installation! In fact, such a short sequence
rotation time entails frequent and harmful starts of the compressors, without allowing them to reach stabilised operating conditions.
The “Sequence rotation time = OFF” mode allows the deactivation of the rotation function; the starting priorities of the compressors present
when the sequence rotation was switched OFF remain valid. This function is particularly useful when you intend to even up the number of working
hours of compressors installed at different times.
EXAMPLE:
a network of two compressors has been created by adding, to a pre-existing compressor (assigned ID #1), another new compressor (assigned ID #2).
It is possible to balance the working times of the two compressors by means of the following procedure:
1. Activate SEQUENCE mode, setting, only for the configuration time, the TEST sequence rotation time of five minutes
2. activate network operation, starting both compressors, until the starting sequence goes to “2-1” (compressor ID #2 = compressor with
starting priority). Stop the compressors.
3. set the sequence rotation time OFF, so as to “freeze” the situation in which ID #2 is started with priority over ID #1
The network must operate with this setting until the working hours of the two compressors are balanced; checking whether balance has been
accomplished must be done manually, periodically consulting the hour counters of the two machines. Once the working hours are the same, return
the sequence rotation time to a definite value (e.g. 24 hours), to reactivate the effective rotation of the starting priorities.
21.2.8 Reaction times delay ON and delay OFF

When the control system activates a compressor as an effect of a fall in the network pressure, the timer t ON is activated: at the end of the count the
system checks the network pressure to establish whether it is necessary to start another compressor.
When the control system deactivates a compressor as an effect of a rise in the network pressure, the timer t OFF is activated: at the end of the count
the system checks the network pressure to establish whether it is necessary to deactivate another compressor.

Good network operation must ensure that, with constant consumption, only one compressor changes between load and unload run; if more than one
compressor switches over, the network may be defined “nervous”, whereas if all the compressors available switch over at the same time the network
is said to be “unstable”.
The pre-set values of the delay times t ON and t OFF cover a wide range of installations, with correct sizing of the storage capacity
with respect to the flows supplied by the compressors and the type of air consumption. For particular types of installation, the general
configuration criteria describe below can be followed:
If the network proves to be “nervous” or “unstable”, due to a small capacity with respect to the flows supplied by the compressors, it is best to
tend towards low t OFF values, fairly close to zero; this will allow the compressors to be switched off in rapid succession when the air consumption
becomes much lower than the flow supplied. Likewise it is possible to shorten the t ON time so as to start the compressors in rapid succession, when
the consumption becomes higher than the flow supplied.
Unlike the t OFF parameter, the t ON value must never be brought close to zero, as the compressor has its own starting inertia (star-delta
switching, delay in opening of the suction regulator) which delays the supply of compressed air with respect to the moment in which the
“pump” command is given. The time t ON must never be lower than the starting delay time (e.g. star-delta time = 4 sec; acceleration time =
2sec do not set a time t ON lower than 6 sec)
If the network has a large storage capacity and is characterised by almost constant consumption, you may consider lengthening the t OFF and t
ON times, thus obtaining a smaller frequency of compressor start and stop cycles. Reaction times that are too long result in network instability.
In the event of problems in configuring and optimising the network, contact the Customer Service.

23 DIAGNOSTICS AND TROUBLESHOOTING

23.1 FORCED START PROCEDURE
For the following types of fault:
a) Compressor block due to prolonged failure to carry out one or more maintenance jobs
b) Compressor block due to too low ambient temperature
c) Compressor block due to exceeding the maximum allowed number of starts/hour
There is an emergency procedure that allows the compressor to be started anyway, ignoring the fault, to be performed only in cases of extreme
necessity.
This procedure is called “forced start” and is performed as follows:
holding down the RESET key (K3) and pressing the START key (K1)
The message “FORCED START procedure” appears on the third and fourth line of the display and the L3 led blinks; the compressor starts regularly
and the operation is stored in the fault log; when the RESET key is pressed again, the display returns to showing the normal operation messages.
In any case, the next time the motor stops (either by command or automatic), the compressor will again go into block conditions, requiring a
new forced start procedure, if necessary.
The “forced start” procedure does not work if faults other than the ones mentioned above occur.
23.2 ERROR MESSAGES

23.3 MACHINE STATUS
The machine status function is accomplished by means of a dry contact relay located on the power board.
To use this switching contact you must operate directly on the terminal board in the electric panel on the terminals C (common) and
NC (normally closed); see fig.A ref.1.
The activation of this relay may influence running status, alarm status or motor rotation.

28 OPERATING PRINCIPLE
• When the motor has reached steady operating speed: in this phase the air passes through the intake valve (2) and arrives at the
compressor (3).
• In this phase the compressor operates at full speed, compressing the air inside the separator tank (4).
• The compressed air does not come out of the minimum valve (6) until a pressure of 3÷4 bar has been reached (minimum valve
calibration pressure).
• The compressed air compresses the oil inside the separator tank and forces it to flow through the pipes towards the thermostatic
valve (9) and towards the oil radiator (10).
• If the oil temperature is lower than 71°C, the oil coming from the pipe flows directly to the compressor through the thermostatic
valve (9) passing through the filter (11).
• If the oil temperature is higher than 71°C the thermostatic valve (9) closes the pipe duct, making the oil arrive at the compressor
through the radiator (10), passing through the filter (11).
• The oil arrives at the compressor and mixes with the air taken in, creating an air/oil mixture which guarantees the seal and
lubrication of the moving parts of the compressor.
• The air/oil mixture into the separator tank (4) undergoes a centrifugal and then a final separation of the oil by means of the
separator filter (5).
• Then only water comes out of the tank, arrives at the final air cooler (7), passes through the condensate separator (8) and then
goes to the network.
• The light oil residue deposited at the bottom of the separator filter (5) is sent back into the compressor through the oil recovery
pipe.
• When the maximum working pressure set on the electronic board is reached the compressor works without load until the system
pressure reaches the reset value. If this no-load operating time is long, due to low or ceased consumption, the compressor stops in
stand-by mode.

29 MAINTENANCE PROGRAMME
Before doing any job inside the machine, unless there are commands that require the machine to be switched on see chapter 3.3:
“Machine off status”.
Every day the user is recommended to check (before starting the compressor) the following:
a) Check the oil level (if necessary top up with the same type of oil through the oil filler cap).
b) Check the internal condition of the compressor for leakages.
c) Clean the prefilters.
With the compressor running:

30 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
By routine maintenance we mean all the activities aimed at maintaining the conditions of use and operation of the
equipment with various types of intervention performed by the operator.
Use only original parts for replacement.
30.1 PRECAUTIONS DURING MAINTENANCE

Maintenance and repairs must be carried out only by sufficiently trained personnel, under the supervision of a technician qualified to
do the job.
1. Use only suitable tools for performing maintenance and repairs.
2. Use only original spare parts.
3. All maintenance jobs that are not routine supervision must be started only when the compressor is at a standstill. Ensure that the
unit cannot be started accidentally.
4. Before removing any component under pressure, efficiently isolate the unit from any source of pressure and discharge pressure
from the whole system.
5. Never use inflammable solvents or carbon tetrachloride to clean the parts. Take the necessary safety precautions against the toxic
vapours of fluids used for cleaning purposes.
6. Observe the strictest standards of cleanliness during maintenance and repair jobs. Protect the parts against dirt, keeping them
covered, and plug the openings with clean rags, paper or covers.
7. Never perform welding, or other operations that require heat, near the oil system. In particular the oil tanks must be completely
cleaned before these operations can be carried out on them, for example by washing them with steam.
Never perform welding or make alterations of any kind on tanks under pressure.
8. Ensure that no tools, loose parts or cloths are left lying on the compressor, on the motor or on the moving parts.
9. Before leaving the unit to be started up after maintenance or overhauling, check that the pressures, the temperatures and the
settings are correct and that the control devices and safety stops work correctly.
10. Protect the motor, the electric parts and the regulation system components, etc. against infiltrations of humidity, for example when
cleaning the unit with steam.
11. Maintain the noise level as specified. never remove sound-deadening material from the panels.
12. Never use caustic solvents or synthetic oils which may damage the materials used in the air system, for example transparent
polycarbonate containers.
13. When handling refrigerating substances the following safety precautions must be taken:
a. Do not inhale the refrigerant vapours. Ensure that the area where you are working is sufficiently ventilated.
b. Always wear special gloves. If any splashes of refrigerating substance get on your skin, wash immediately with water. For no
reason should you work on the machine without protective garments.
c. Always wear safety goggles

This lubricant is formulated to the highest quality standards and is factory authorized, tested and approved for use in rotary screw
compressors.
POWER SYSTEM s.r.l. lubricants are available through your authorized compressor distributor.
THE IMPROPER USE OF LUBRICANT MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE SYSTEM. IT IS ABSOLUTELY
FORBIDDEN TO MIX LUBRICANTS OF A DIFFERENT TYPE AND BRAND TOGETHER.
INADEQUATE MAINTENANCE WITH THE USE OF SYNTHETIC LUBRICANTS MAY DAMAGE THE
SYSTEM. THE OIL FILTER AND THE CARTRIDGE OF THE SEPARATOR MUST BE CHANGED
REGULARLY TO GUARANTEE MAXIMUM PROTECTION AND EFFICIENCY OF THE
COMPRESSOR.
HANDLING OIL WITHOUT ADEQUATE PROTECTIONS IS VERY DANGEROUS. WEAR PROTECTIVE

GLOVES.
CHECK THE PRESENCE OF CONDENSATE IN THE SEPARATOR TANK EVERY 500 WORKING
HOURS.

31 SPECIAL MAINTENANCE
By special maintenance we mean all the activities aimed at maintaining the conditions of use and operation of the
equipment with various types of intervention performed exclusively by the manufacturer’s technician.
31.1 CHANGING THE OIL AND THE OIL FILTER
ALWAYS CHECK THE OIL LEVEL WITH THE MACHINE SWITCHED OFF.
Procedure to be followed for changing the oil and the oil filter:
1. Stop the machine with the stop pushbutton on the electronic board.
2. Switch off the power: turn the isolating switch to “0” position and block it with the padlock.
3. Ensure that there is no pressurized air or oil in the oil reservoir.
AIR AND OIL UNDER HIGH PRESSURE CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY. SHUT DOWN THE
COMPRESSOR AND RELIEVE THE SYSTEM OF ALL PRESSURE BEFORE REMOVING VALVES,
CAPS, PLUGS, FITTINGS, BOLTS AND FILTERS.
4. Always completely empty the circuit. (It is best to do this operation when the oil is still hot since it is more fluid and will drain
better).
5. To drain the circuit just unscrew the cap and turn on the tap
6. To drain the circuit use one of the following methods:
a) If the unit is not sitting at a sufficient height to use the oil drainage line, a manual, electric or pneumatic pump must be used to
drain the oil from the tank through the drainage valve.
b) If the unit is sitting at a height where it is possible to use the drainage pipe, empty the tank through the drainage valve using a
suitable container or pit.
c) If the drained oil and/or the oil filter cartridges are contaminated with dirt, clean the whole circuit: tank, oil cooler, thermostatic
valve and pipes. Check whether there is a build-up of dirt or presence of scale in the filter cartridge of the separator.
7. Clean off any dirt before removing the oil cap.
USED OIL MUST BE DISPOSED OF IN CONFORMITY WITH THE LOCAL REGULATIONS IN FORCE.
8. Fill the tank to the required level (fig. 11 green zone). When the compressor starts the level will fall because the oil will fill the
parts of the circuit; keep the oil level above the minimum mark.
9. During idling or after stopping, some oil will return to the tank and the oil level may increase as a result.
DO NOT DRAIN ANY OIL TO ADJUST THE LEVEL. The next time it starts, the oil will fill the system again and the level will
indicate the using conditions.
DO NOT OVERFILL OR THERE WILL BE OIL LEAKS (in the event of excess oil, the indicator in fig. 11 will be in the yellow
zone).
10. Use only CLEAN containers and funnels so that no dirt gets into the tank. Store the oil in a clean place. Changing the oil
incorrectly does not offer any advantage.
11. Start the machine, let it run under load for about 5 minutes, check the oil level and ensure that there are no leaks.

31.2 CHECKING AND TOPPING UP THE OIL LEVEL
Indicates the amount of oil in the oil reservoir. Read oil level only when unit is stop. In the operation the oil level will fluctuate as the
compressor loads and unloads. Check oil level only when compressor is stop and add oil only when the level is below the minimum
(indicator in the red zone fig. 11).
Fig.11
BEFORE REMOVING THE OIL CAP AND/OR THE OIL FILTER, STOP THE COMPRESSOR AND
ENSURE THAT IT IS COMPLETELY DEPRESSURIZED. IF IT IS NOT COMPLETELY
DEPRESSURIZED IT MAY BE VERY DANGEROUS AS IT CAN CAUSE EVEN MORTAL INJURY..
This must be done when the oil level visible in the plastic pipe is below the recommended oil level.
N.B. The value must be read with the unit is stop.
BE SURE THE UNIT IS COMPLETELY OFF AND THAT NO AIR PRESSURE IS IN THE OIL
RESERVOIR. ADD OIL AS REQUIRED TO RETURN THE OIL LEVEL TO THE CORRECT POSITION.
TOP UP TO THE REQUIRED LEVEL. DO NOT OVERFILL.
Repeated topping up with oil between one change and the next indicates excessive oil consumption; it is recommended to have the
compressor checked by a skilled technician to remove the cause.
31.3 CHANGING THE OIL FILTER (fig.12)
The oil filter fitted on the compressors contains a bypass valve. If the cartridge is particularly clogged, the valve prevents oil
circulation being blocked, that is it still guarantees the circulation of oil on the screw.
IMPROPER OIL FILTER MAINTENANCE WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT. REPLACE

FILTER ELEMENT AS INDICATED IN THE “MAINTENANCE” SECTION. MORE FREQUENT
REPLACEMENT COULD BE REQUIRED DEPENDING ON OPERATION CONDITIONS. A FILTER
ELEMENT LEFT IN SERVICE TOO LONG MAY DAMAGE EQUIPMENT.
Procedure to be followed for changing the cartridge:
ATTENTION: HOT PARTS INSIDE.

1. Stop the machine by pressing the stop
pushbutton on the electronic board.
2. Switch off the power: turn the isolating
switch to “0”.
3. Ensure that there is no pressurized air
or oil in the oil reservoir.
4. Unscrew the filter cartridge from the
body using a suitable tool
5. Screw the new cartridge onto the body
6. Start the machine and let it run for a few
minutes, ensuring that there are no leaks
and that the oil level is correct
7. Check the oil level and ensure there are
no leaks EDISON 4075DV
8. Dispose of the old filter in conformity
with the regulations in force NEWTON 4075-4090

31.4 REMOVAL OF THE AIR/OIL SEPARATOR

Procedure to be followed for changing the cartridge:
1) Stop the machine by pressing the stop pushbutton on the electronic board.
2) Switch off the power: turn the isolating switch to “0” position.
3) Ensure that there is no pressurized air or oil in the separator tank.
4) Remove the retaining screws of the separator tank cover. Lift the separator tank cover
5) Change the cartridge. When changing the cartridge, the gasket is also changed. Remove any materials adhering to the cover or to
the tank.
6) Lower the new cartridge into the tank and put the gasket in position.
7) Set top plate on separator housing flange; install and tighten all cap screws.
8) Start the machine, let it run under load for at least 10 minutes and check that there are no oil leaks.
9) Dispose of the old filter in conformity with the regulations in force.
31.5 CHANGING THE AIR FILTER CARTRIDGE

The air filter (fig.13) is very important to ensure good working
without faults, because it filters the air which has to become
compressed avoiding serious damage to the screw.
Procedure to be followed for changing the air filter cartridge:
2. Switch off the power: turn the isolating switch to “0” position.
G
3. Unscrew the special nut of the filter hose and unscrew the
retaining nut of the air filter cartridge (G). Fig.13
4. Remove the air filter cartridge
5. Clean the filter with a jet of air, working from inside to outside; do not use water or solvents. Alternatively, fit a new
filter
6. Fit the filter and close the nut (ref. G).
7. If the cartridge has to be changed, dispose of the old filter in conformity with the local regulations in force.
IMPROPER OIL FILTER MAINTENANCE WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT. REPLACE

FILTER ELEMENT AS INDICATED IN THE “MAINTENANCE” SECTION. MORE FREQUENT
REPLACEMENT COULD BE REQUIRED DEPENDING ON OPERATION CONDITIONS. A FILTER
ELEMENT LEFT IN SERVICE TOO LONG MAY DAMAGE EQUIPMENT.

31.6 CLEANING OR CHANGING THE FILTER SUCTION PANEL
The prefilter panel guarantees a good air filtration in both ventilation and compression; in this way the internal filters do not become
easily obstructed.
Procedure to be followed for changing the prefilter panel:

1. Stop the machine with the stop pushbutton on the
electronic board.
2. Switch off the power: turn the isolating switch to “0”
position
3. Remove the grille protection panel.
4. Remove the suction filter panel.
5. Clean the suction filter panel with a jet of air or wash
it with water: do not use solvents
6. Once the operation has been completed, reassemble
the grille and the suction filter panel Fig.14
7. If the suction filter panel is replaced, dispose of the
old filter in conformity with the local regulations in
force.
31.7 AIR-OIL RADIATOR

The compressor is provided with a combined radiator for oil and for compressed air, fitted in a vertical position. It is cooled by the air
which the electric fan, situated above it, takes in and expels from the machine.
When the radiator is dirty or clogged, it does not exchange heat correctly and must be cleaned.
Procedure to be followed to clean the radiator:
2. Switch off the power: turn the isolating switch to “0” position and block it with the padlock
3. Wait until the compressor has completely cooled down.

4. Remove the radiator cleaning panel.
5. Clean the radiator with a jet of water and wash it with water and detergent if necessary; do not use solvents as they could
damage it.
31.8 THERMOSTATIC VALVE

The thermostatic valve is used to control the system oil temperature. When the machine is cold the oil by-passes the radiator and
goes straight to the screw. When the oil reaches a certain temperature of about 71°C, the thermostatic valve causes the oil to be
cooled through the radiator, thus avoiding condensation phenomena in the tank.
31.9 SAFETY VALVE

The safety valve is inspected and calibrated by the manufacturer in conformity with the regulations in force.
The tests of operation of the safety valve must be carried out by authorized personnel.
31.10 MOTOR LUBRICATION

Long time satisfactory operation of an electric motor depends in large measure on proper lubrication of the bearings.
For additional information, refer to the motor manufacturers instructions.
Use the following procedure to maintain or replace parts.

1. Stop the machine by the stop button on electronic board.
2. Remove the voltage supply: turn the isolating switch to “0” position and block it with the padlock.
3. Turn on the main supply to the compressor OFF.
4. Remove the relief plug and free hole of hardened grease.
5. Wipe lubrication fitting clean and add grease with a hand-operated grease gun.
6. Leave the relief plug temporarily off. Reconnect unit and run for about 20 minutes to expel the excess grease.
7. Stop the unit. Replace the relief plug.
8. Restart the unit.

31.11 CHANGING THE ELECTRIC MOTOR AND THE ELECTRIC FAN
IF THE ELECTRIC MOTOR HAS BEEN CHANGED, WHEN STARTING PRESS “START” FOR A FEW
MOMENTS (JUST ENOUGH TO SEE THE COOLING FAN TURNING) AND CHECK THAT IT TURNS IN
THE DIRECTION INDICATED BY THE STICKER APPLIED ON THE MOTOR. IF IT IS TURNING IN
THE WRONG DIRECTION, SWITCH OFF THE POWER AND INVERT THE CONNECTIONS OF TWO
PHASES OF THE MOTOR POWER SUPPLY.
IF THE ELECTRIC FAN HAS BEEN CHANGED, WHEN STARTING PRESS “START” FOR A FEW
MOMENTS (JUST ENOUGH TO SEE IT TURNING) AND CHECK THAT IT TURNS IN THE DIRECTION
INDICATED BY THE STICKER APPLIED ON THE STRUCTURE. IF IT IS TURNING IN THE WRONG
DIRECTION, SWITCH OFF THE POWER AND INVERT THE CONNECTIONS OF TWO PHASES OF
THE FAN POWER SUPPLY.
31.12 COUPLINGS (ONLY VERSIONS WITH DIRECT TRANSMISSION)

For the compressor models with direct transmission, 2 types of couplings may be fitted (fig.15 and 15A ).. The motor and the
compressor are directly connected with a coupling fitted with a flexible element.
Always consult the POWER SYSTEM s.r.l. technical assistance service.
Use the following procedure to change the flexible element and the couplings if necessary.
1. Stopping the machine by the stop pushbutton on electronic board.
2. Remove the alimentation: turn the isolating switch to “0” position and block
it with the padlock
3. Turn on the supply automatic differential switch of alimentation.
4. Remove screws holding the flange of assemble. Shift the motor.
5. Check the state of the semi-couplings.
6. If there are any breaks or excessive wear, remove the two semi-couplings using an extractor.
7. Assemblare i 2 nuovi semigiunti sull’albero, uno sul lato vite e l’altro sul motore.
8. Insert the flexible element between the 2 semi-couplings.
9. Assemble motor and compressor.
10. Working through coupling guard opening, centre coupling over gap between shaft, maintaining gap as shown in figure 17 between
the ends of the jaws on one coupling body and the flange on the opposite coupling body. Tighten set screws in each coupling body.
11. Reinstall the coupling guard.
DURING ROTATION THE MACHINES CAN CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE OR DEATH OF PERSONNEL.
DO NOT ACTIVATE THE MACHINE WITHOUT THE GUARD. ALL THE SCREWS AND NUTS MUST
BE ADEQUATELY SECURED.
Alignment -The coupling is permanently aligned by the flanges on the compressor and motor.

33 ELECTRIC DIAGRAM
The wiring diagram for the power is enclosed in the machine documentation.
33.1 REMOTE CONTROL
Normally all the compressors are set “only with local control”. If you also want to have remote control you must connect a switch with
an ON/OFF contact on the terminals CD-CD (max. distance 10 to 20 metres) and make the selection START MACHINE / REMOTE
in the user programming menu.
33.2 AUTOMATIC RESTART
Normally all the compressors are set “without automatic restart” in the event of a power cut followed by the return of power. It is
possible to get automatic restart when power return only making a bridge between the strips RA-RA.
A T T E N T I O N : In this case it must be pointed out on the compressor that the unit is provided with automatic restart and
“door open” safety microcontacts must be installed on the doors so that accidental automatic restart is not possible.
The connection must be made by skilled personnel who assume responsibility for any damages to persons or things
resulting from this modification
