Compressor Start-Up Procedure - Sullair 1600H User Manual

1600C LP USER MANUAL
4.3 COMPRESSOR START-UP
PROCEDURE
1. Turn the ON/OFF/START switch, located on
the Compass Controller, to the "ON" position.
The controller will power up and a self-diag-
nostic program will be initiated. During the
initiation process, the gauges will wag (the
needles on each gauge will sweep through
its full scale) to verify all relevant sensors are
operational. Also, a communication link will
be established with the engine ECU. During
this time, several messages will be displayed
on the panel. Some of these messages may
not be noticed by the operator because the
controller steps through the initialization
phase rather quickly. However, the operator
should see the following messages during
this step:
Checking COMPASS Comm
Listening for Engine
When the system has successfully initial-
ized, the following message will be displayed
on the LCD Graphic Display:

2. Turn the OFF/ON/START switch to the
"START" position. You do not have to hold
the switch in the "START" position. The LCD
panel will show the following message:

WARNING
If machine does not start successfully when
starter disengages, the starter will automatically
engage up to four more times after brief pauses
to try and start the machine.
Once the compressor has started, the unit will enter
a warm-up phase. At this point, the unit is not
producing usable compressed air and the service
valve should still be closed. The following message
will be displayed on the LCD panel:
Start Initiated
Warm Up C ycle
0 psi
Service Pressure
Once the proper operating conditions are met, the
machine will automatically switch into run mode and
provide pressurized service air.
