3.1 Introduction
This Chapter will familiarise the operator with the functions in the Monitron CR system. Via a step by
step procedure all modes of operation and relevant functions are discussed.
3.2 Keyboard operation
Fig. 3.1 The terminal unit

The keyboard has 10 membrane switch keys, 8 single-duty keys and 2 double-duty keys (viz. the "on/+"
and "off/-" key) each with a specific function. The keys and their function are listed below.
stop Pushing the stop key will immediately stop the running of the compressor, irrespective the actual
selected capacity control mode
on The "on/+" key is used to start the compressor manually. In order to do so, the compressor status
has to be STANDBY and the "on/+" key is to be pushed for 5 seconds. This delay is implemented
to prevent unintentional starting due to pushing the wrong key.
Once the compressor is running, pushing the "on/+" key will increase the compressor capacity by
increasing the number of active cylinders. The number of active capacity control solenoids is
indicated by the Leds marked sol. The Led above the "on/+" key indicates that the capacity control
is set to manual (see "auto" key).
off The "off/-" key is used to stop the compressor manually when the compressor is at minimum part
load. In order to do so the "off/-" key is to be pushed for 5 seconds. This delay is implemented to
prevent unintentional stopping due to pushing the wrong key. If the compressor is not running at
minimum part load, pushing the "off/-" key will decrease the compressor capacity by decreasing
the number of active cylinders.
auto Pushing the "auto" key will display the capacity control menu. Capacity control mode can be off,
manual (HAND), automatic (AUTO) or HOST. Manual control is indicated by a led above the
"on/+" key. Automatic control is indicated by a continuously burning Led above the "auto" key.
Host control is a special mode where the capacity is remote controlled by an external controller
(eg. Master Monitron CR) and is indicated by a blinking light above the "auto" key. When the
capacity control mode is "off", no led is burning.
alarm Occurence of an alarm condition is indicated by blinking of a Led above the "alarm" key. Pushing
the "alarm" key will display the alarm and pushing this key once more will return to the first value
screen.
back The "back" key is used to go back to the previous screen.
next The "next" key is used to skip to the next screen or when in EDIT mode, to select the next digit in
a parameter value.
^/v The (up) "^" and (down) "v" arrow-keys are used in EDIT mode, to respectively increase and
decrease the value of the selected digit or, in alarm mode to look at the previous alarm messages.
accept The "accept" key in EDIT mode is either used to accept the value of a parameter value in a screen
to change the mode of the Monitron CR or to accept the present alarm condition.

Grasso
3.3 System power up

When power is applied to the Monitron CR, an internal selftest is carried out during which two start-up
screens (fig. 3.2 and 3.3) appear.
The first start-up screen contains information concerning the terminal unit
GRASSO MONITRON CR (keyboard/display combination). The revision number indicates what
TERMINAL REV. XX.XX software release in the terminal is installed. "Selftest....... ok" indicates the
 Grasso terminal has passed the test and is now operational.
Selftest......ok
After successfully completing the first part of the selftest, the second
Fig. 3.2 start-up screen is displayed. This screen contains information concerning the
control unit. The revision number indicates what software release in the
GRASSO MONITRON CR control unit is installed. "Initialising" indicates, the control unit is now
TERMINAL REV. XX.XX operational. In the event of an unsuccesful selftest, refer to Chapter 12,
 Grasso ’Maintenance’, for further instructions. After successfully completing the
Initialising selftest the Monitron CR is now ready for operation.
The system power-up is now completed and, if the Monitron CR is installed
Fig. 3.3 as per Chapter 11, ’Installing the Monitron CR’, the display mode appears.

3.4 Modes of operation
Three modes are available for operating the monitron CR:
— the display mode; To monitor the operation conditions in the so-called value screens
— the alarm mode; To view and accept malfunctions in the alarm file
— the edit mode; To set limits and parameters to tune the operation of the compressor
3.4.1 The display mode

In the display mode the operator has access to a number of screens each providing a variety of
information in regard to the current status of the compressor, its condition and performance. The
screens are called Value screens and are different for single-stage and two-stage. The information on
the value screen is updated continuously, however, 5 minutes after the last key has been pushed, the
display enters a special screen save mode in order to prolong the lifetime of the display; the display in
this screen save mode gets to go blank. Pushing any key will set the display back. Skipping between the
value screens is done by pushing the:
• "next" key for the next screen
• "back" key for the previous screen.
Refer to Chapter A.3 of the appendix for a review of all value screens and of all abbreviations used.
3.4.2 The alarm mode

In the alarm mode the operator can manipulate the alarm file in the Monitron CR. In the alarm file a
maximum of twenty most recent alarms are stored. In the alarm mode the operator can look at these
alarms and accept them in order to resume operation of the compressor. Alarms occur when the limits
of operation are exceeded.

Grasso
For each alarm 16 process parameters are stored at the moment the alarm occures.
Example:
When during operation the discharge pressure exceeds the maximum -ALARM PENDING-
allowed value, an alarm occurs. As a result of this the compressor will stop 12:14:34 30/03/98
and an alarm message is added to the alarm file. High Disch. Press.
This alarm message (fig. 3.4) may look as follows: Pdis 26.0
Fig. 3.4
The occurrence of a new alarm is indicated by the blinking of the alarm Led on the terminal.
As long as the alarm led is on, the compressor can not be started (except for the alarm
messages: slave station down, Monitron startup and Monitron restart).
In order to switch from display mode to alarm mode and vise versa, push the "alarm" key.
When entering the alarm mode, the display shows the most recent alarm
message. By pressing the "back" and the "next" keys, the user may look at -ALARM ACCEPTED-
the other alarm messages in the file. In order to accept an alarm, press the 12:14:34 30/03/98
"accept" key when the alarm message is displayed. Accepted alarms are High Disch. Press.
indicated by the text ’ALARM ACCEPTED’ see fig. 3.5. If all alarms are Pdis 26.0
accepted, the alarm Led will go off when switching back to display mode. If Fig. 3.5
the alarm Led remains on, there is still an unaccepted alarm pending.
Prior to accepting an alarm, first remove the cause of the alarm condition, otherwise the alarm
reoccurs. Refer to chapter 6, ’Alarm messages’, for a survey of all possible alarms.
Two alarm value screens with a total of 16 parameters are stored for each alarm message. The
parameters are stored at the moment the alarm occures. Fig. 3.4 +3.5 show the two alarm value screens.
By pressing the "^" and the "v" key the user can view the alarm value screens.
A description of these screens is given in appendix A3.
3.4.3 The edit mode

Besides the display and alarm mode a third mode the edit accept
mode is available. In the edit mode the operator may DISPLAY MODE EDIT MODE
change settings in the Monitron CR in order to tune the
operation of the compressor according to his demands.
By pushing the "accept" key the edit mode is entered from display mode.
Changing settings is only possible with the proper authorisation.
Therefore the first screen that appears in the edit mode requests the user to ENTER PASSWORD
enter a PASSWORD (fig. 3.6).
The Monitron CR is shipped with a default password 2000 for operator’s 0000
level 1 and 3000 for level 2 *. ^
These passwords may be changed by the user/contractor.
In order to enter the password proceed as follows: Fig. 3.6
• Move the "^" cursor to the digit to be changed pushing the "next" key
• Push the "^" key to increase or the "v" key to decrease the digit value
• Push "next" for the next digit in the code
• When all digits have the proper value, push "accept".
* REMARK: Depending on the entered password, authorization for level 1 or 2 will be established

Grasso
Edit screens
If a valid password is entered, the system will display the first selection
menu screen. Otherwise the mode switches back to Display mode. - SELECTION MENU 1 -
Back = Prev. Menu
SELECTION MENU 1 (fig. 3.7) gaines access to the user set-up screens. Next = Next Menu
• Push "next" to go to selection menu 2, Accept = User Setup
• push "back" to go back to DISPLAY MODE, or, Fig. 3.7

• push "accept" for the first user set-up screen.
EDITING VALUES AND SETTINGS
The Monitron CR contains many parameters which may be changed by the Operator, to adapt the
operation of the Monitron CR to his demands. For each parameter an edit screen is available to change
the value of the parameter. Two types of parameters exists:
• a number e.g. 13.3 °C
• a selection of one of several options e.g. ON or OFF
ENTERING A NUMBER
When a screen with the value to be changed is displayed, the current value of that parameter is shown.
E.g. SETPOINT = -20 °C
The up "^" cursor is indicating which digit might be changed. Use the "next" key to move the cursor to
the next digit to be changed. Push the "^" or "v" key to respectively increase or decrease the digit value.
Example: change a setpoint from -20 °C to -15 °C:
Setpoint = -20 push "next" twice
^
Setpoint = -20 push "v" once
^
Setpoint = -10 push "next" once
^
Setpoint = -10 push "^" five times
^
Setpoint = -15 push "accept" to validate the value
^
REMARK: In this manual all parameters of this type are indicated as a blank (#) for each digit.
ENTERING A SELECTION
When a screen with the selection to be changed is displayed, the current selection is shown. A selection
is always a descriptive word. Use the "^" or "v" key to toggle between all possible options to determine
the selection.
Example: change the parameter autostart from OFF to ON,
Autostart = OFF push "^" once
Autostart = ON push "accept" to validate the selection
In this manual, each character of an option above the cursor position is displayed as an asterisc (***)
* e.g. Start/Stop = *** (options are ON and OFF).
A review of all editable selection menu’s is given in Appendix A.4.

CAPACITY LIMITATION
The Monitron CR is equipped with a capacity limitation control loop. When this control loop is activated
due to high motor current or discharge pressure no capacity increase is possible.
In case of high discharge temperature no capacity decrease is possible.
3.5.1 Capacity control in mode hand
In HAND mode, the compressor capacity is to be set manually. In order to do so, the terminal is
equipped with two keys, the "on/+" key for starting and increasing capacity, the "off/-" key for
decreasing capacity and stopping.
STARTING MANUALLY
The compressor is started by pushing the "on/+" key for approx. 5 seconds. The compressor will switch
from STANDBY to STARTING and enters the start-up routine as described in chapter 4. When no failures
occur the compressor will switch to RUNNING and capacity control is possible.
INCREASING CAPACITY
Compressor capacity may be increased by pressing the "on/+" key once. The Monitron CR determines
the next available higher capacity. The Leds of the energized solenoids will light up.
DECREASING CAPACITY
Compressor capacity may be decreased by pressing the "off/-" key once. The Monitron CR determines
the next available lower capacity. The Leds of the de-energized solenoids will go off.
STOPPING MANUALLY
The compressor may be stopped in several ways. The normal stop procedure is pushing the "off/-" key
until the compressor is at min. part load and then either holding the "off/-" key for 5 seconds, or
pushing the "stop" key.
3.5.2 Capacity control in mode auto
In mode AUTO, the compressor capacity is set automatically via the control loop in the Monitron CR.
Based on the difference between required pressure (SETPOINT) and measured pressure (MV), the
control loop calculates the required compressor capacity.
STARTING/STOPPING.
Starting and stopping the compressor in mode AUTO is determined by the status of the start/stop
parameter (ST/ST). If this parameter is set to ON (displayed in value screen 3, the compressor will start
and stop automatically. The compressor however, must be start-up and shutdown manually, if the
parameter is set to OFF.
3.5.3 Capacity control in mode host
In mode HOST, the compressor capacity is set automatically by a remote system, via the communication
network. Refer to chapter 5, ’Capacity control modes’, for more detailed information.

capacity steps with unacceptable ratio Phi will be
blocked and the next available step will be taken.
• Extra Tdis safety (Config setup)
The value of this parameter can be YES or NO.
When NO is selected the control algorithm is
only activated for Fast Pull Down capacity steps
(Ratio phi<2). When YES is selected the control
algorithm is activated for all capacity steps.
• Correction (Config setup)
Because there can be some difference between
the actual discharge gas temperature and the
calculated one,the possibility exists to make a
correction. A negative correction will lead to a
lower value of the calculated discharge gas
temperature, thereby allowing more capacity
steps, but with the risk of a compressor stop
due to a high discharge gas temperature

• Check PT1000 sensor
De-energize control unit.
Loosen the sensorelement by removing connector X204.
Check the resistance between the two wires of the sensor concerned.
For correct values refer to the table below.
Check resistance to ground for both wires (should be ∞).
• Check Pressure transducer
Use a DC-volt meter to measure the voltage between the "-" connection on X203 of the sensor
concerned and the most outside pin of X204 sensor 8. The value should be between 0.48 and
2.42 Volt.
If the value is beyond these bounds the sensor is defect.
If the value is within these bounds you may check the values with an other pressure transducer.
Check resistance to ground for both wires (should be ∞).

11.2.6 Earth Connection
Both the compressor package and Monitron must
have a proper and solid earth connection. This is
necessery for safe and good functioning of the
Monitron CR. Earthing connections are already
made by Grasso.
11.2.7 Additional high pressure safety switch

In a number of countries legislation prescribes one
or two additional high pressure safety switches
that operate independently from the Monitron
CR. Therefor, the additional safety switch has to
be wired directly to the main switch cabinet. By
also wiring the safety switch to output X104-3,
activating the safety switch will generate the

A.1 DEFAULTS LIMITS OF OPERATION
Grasso
One of the most important tasks of the Monitron CR is to protect the compressor against conditions
outside the normal field of application. In order to do so, the Monitron CR is equipped with a number
of sensors to check on the correct operation of the compressor package.
In the table below the limits of operation of all Grasso reciprocating compressors are listed, exceeding
these limits will result in a compressor shut-down and an alarm message will be added to the alarm file.
Refer to chapter 6, Alarm messages, for a survey of all possible alarms.
