It is recommended that installation and commissioning be carried out by an authorized and trained product supplier. The X4I can be mounted on a wall using conventional bolts. The X4I can be located remotely from the compressors as long as it is within 330 feet (100 meters) of cable length.
DEMAND (DRY) SIDE PRESSURE CONTROL A fused switching isolator must be installed to the main incoming power supply, external to the X4I. The isolator must be fitted with a properly sized fuse to provide adequate protection to the power supply cable used (in accordance with local electrical and safety regulations).
ALARM For each compressor utilizing an IR-PCB, connection to the X4I the signal wires must be made to the correct X4I terminals for that compressor number. Compressor 1 should be wired to terminal X01 on the terminal PCB,...
In instances where a convenient voltage signal for a Consult the X4I Interconnect and Application Guide compressor ready condition is not available, the “ready” prior to the installation of the X4I and the IR-PCB to the air input can be connected directly to a constant compressor compressor.

At system start (manual start or automated start from hours is assigned as the third trim compressor. For systems standby), the X4I will only load compressors that have been with more than two compressors, the compressors will be pre-set for pre-fill operation, for a pre-set period of time.
If system pressure continues to decrease, compressor 2 (B) The running hours meter display on most compressors will be loaded and be reassigned to (A) while compressor 1 are intended for approximate service interval indication is reassigned as (D). If this causes system pressure to rise only and may deviate in accuracy over a period of time.
