UNPACKING AND HANDLING


The compressor will normally be delivered with a polyethylene or other cover. If a knife has to be used to remove this cover,
ensure that the exterior paintwork of the compressor is not damaged.
Incorporated within the base of the compressor are slots to enable a fork lift truck to move the machine. Ensure truck forks
are fully engaged on both sides. Alternatively a special lifting frame can be utilized to enable a crane or hoist to move the
compressor. Use only marked lifting points.
Once the packaging and pallet are discarded and the unit is in its final position, remove the transit brackets from the resilient
mounts and store for future use or discard.

WEB ACCESS
Ingersoll Rand Xe-90M/ Xe-145M web pages are a visualization application which offers a window using a web browser on
your PC. The web pages allows the user to monitor air system at a glance or take a more detailed look into system operation,
equipment status and setup through an intuitive web-page based user interface. To access this application running on the
controller, simply connect via a Web Browser from any PC using an Ethernet connection. The PC can be local stand alone or
part of a LAN.

The system administrator can assign a user one of three levels of access (view only, user, and administrator) which will
determine which functions will be available to that user. For example, only users with administrator access will be able to make
new accounts and to view or modify the configuration overview parameters. See section Account Management.
The Xe-90M/ Xe-145M functions as a web server for the compressor. The web server offers the following through the interface:
• Display of current operating state of the compressor
• Compressor Information – model number, serial number, rated capacity and other details
• Start, Stop, Reset Alarm buttons
• Adjust operating parameters
• Display of analog signals
• Display of hour meters
• Display of Event log
• Graphing (Xe-145M Only)
• Display of maintenance timers
• Edit and display of maintenance log
• Notification of alarm/trip events via email
COMMISSIONING PROCEDURES
There are certain parameters that must be configured in order for the controller to properly communicate to the LAN and to
the network. Outlined below is a list of steps that must be completed before the visualization software can be fully utilized.
Please be sure that you have ADMIN rights before attempting to configure the controller.
If you will only be connecting to the controller to a single PC, go to step 1. If you will be using a static IP or DHCP assigned IP
address on your company’s LAN please go to step 2.
1. Connect the controller to a PC – Follow the procedure outlined in section “CONNECTING TO A PC”. Please go to step 3.
2. Configure the controller Ethernet settings – Obtain a static IP address from your IT department or have an assigned
domain name for DHCP access. Follow the procedures in “ETHERNET CONFIGURATION”.
3. Login to the web pages – Follow the procedure in section “LOGIN PROCESS”.
4. Configure compressor information – Follow the procedures in section “COMPRESSOR INFORMATION”. Make sure you have
the compressor nameplate data available.
5. Set up user accounts – Follow the procedures in section “ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT”.

8. Connect an Ethernet cable to your computer and to the controller. Within a minute, the computer will make a connection
to the controller. Once connected, you will be able to log into and configure the controller.
ETHERNET WIRES
Wiring the network is accomplished by connecting the user computer to the controller using Category 5 (or better) cables. The
connection point on the user computer is a RJ-45 port located on the Network Interface card.

The Ethernet cables are terminated with CAT 5 RJ-45 (RJ means “Registered Jack”) modular plugs. RJ-45 plugs are
similar to those seen on the end of a telephone cable except they have eight versus four or six contacts on the
end of the plug and they are about twice as big
ETHERNET CONFIGURATION
The Ethernet configuration allows the user to select how the controller will be connected to the LAN.

The controller ships with a default IP address of 192.168.2.220. If “Enable DHCP” option is true in the “General Settings” [screen#
8] of the controller, then it will obtain an IP address via DHCP. Refer R55 - 160 kW Instruction manual for more information.
Once the user changes the “DHCP Enable” option to true, the “Assigned IP” address (e.g. 10.40.193.73) will appear below this
selection in few seconds. The users connected with the local area network can use this new assigned IP to login to the web
pages. Please note that depending on the LAN architecture, not all users will be able to view the web pages from their PC.

CAUTION

Changing the Ethernet configuration of the controller may cause the web pages to become unresponsive and require
IT or other support to return the web pages to an operational condition. Be certain all Ethernet settings are correct
before saving changes.

into all Preventative Maintenance programs. Predictive
Maintenance is designed to increase system reliability and
prevent costly downtime. Through the use of sophisticated
diagnostic tools, including fluid, vibration, and optional air
analysis, IR Certified Service Technicians can identify and
correct potential problems BEFORE they can cause expensive
unscheduled downtime.
How does predictive analysis work? By establishing an initial
baseline for normal operation, and then regularly monitoring
fluid and vibration conditions, any sudden deviation or
significant increase from this baseline can be identified and
investigated to pinpoint the cause. More quickly diagnosing
potential problems can directly save money by preventing
costly failures and reducing or eliminating downtime. In
addition, regular condition monitoring also helps to maximize
the time between expensive preventative maintenance
intervals, such as component rebuilds and oil changes.

• Oil Sampling Procedure


With unit at sump oil temperature of 130 − 140 °F, stop the
compressor. Wait 5 minutes, or sufficient time until oil in sight
glass becomes clear, and any entrained air bubbles in the oil
dissipate.
Remove oil fill cap from oil fill tube. Using oil sample pump
kit, install a new hose on the pump. Insert the hose into the
fill tube, and push the sample tube all the way to the bottom
