Sullair Air Care Seminars are courses that provide hands-on instruction in the proper operation, maintenance and service of Sullair equipment. Individual seminars on Industrial compressors and compressor electrical systems are presented at regular intervals throughout the year at a dedicated training facility at Sullair’s corporate headquarters in Michigan City, Indiana.
SAFETY INTRODUCTION Sullair Corporation and its subsidiaries design and manufacture all of their products so they can be operated safely. However, the responsibility for safe operation rests with those who use and maintain these products. For safe machine operation it is vitally important to review all safety precautions noted in the Safety Section of the compressor’s...
Section 1 SAFETY or modified. If a decal becomes damaged, contact your nearest Sullair Distributor or the Sullair Corporation factory Service Department for replacement parts. Note: When ordering new decals, use part number printed on the decal face. EMERGENCY STOP A large red Emergency Stop (E-STOP) button is located near the controller panel.

Section 2 STARTUP PROCEDURES STARTUP PROCEDURES INTRODUCTION This compressor is equipped with an WS Controller for controlling the compressor system operation, setting the machine parameters and performing maintenance operations. The WS Controller is designed for the safe operation and protection of the compressor system.
Section 2 STARTUP PROCEDURES WS START UP PROCEDURES 2.3.1 COMPRESSOR MOTOR ROTATION DIRECTION CHECK (at installation) After the compressor has been installed and the electrical wiring is completed, perform following steps to verify the direction of the compressor motor rotation. 1.
Section 2 STARTUP PROCEDURES 3. Slowly open the shut-off valve to the service line. 4. Press the START pad to start the compressor. Compressor will begin operating in the default mode (Automatic) set at the factory. 5. Check for possible leaks in piping. 6.
Section 3 ADJUSTMENTS ADJUSTMENTS INTRODUCTION This section describes steps for using the WS Controller to modify specific parameters that control the machine operation. NOTE Control parameters described in this manual are those which can be adjusted via the WS Controller. Additional parameters that control the operation the compressor and sequencing of multiple machines can be viewed and edited using the WS PC User Interface.
Drain Interval Mins. - Set interval in minutes between activation of the drain cycle for machines equipped with an electric solenoid drain. This does not apply to the Sullair SCD zero loss drain, which is not controlled or monitored by the WS Controller.

Section 3 ADJUSTMENTS CALIBRATION OF P2 PRESSURE TRANSDUCERS The compressor is equipped with a pressure transducer that measures the output line (P2) pressure. Over time, the pressure transducer may vary slightly producing an inaccurate reading at the controller. Periodically and prior to operating multiple controllers in a sequence, the controller should be re-calibrated to reflect the same measurement of P2 pressure through out the system.
Section 4 WS CONTROLLER DESCRIPTION WS CONTROLLER DESCRIPTION INTRODUCTION This section describes the components of the WS Controller, the function of each component, and the various types of displays that may appear on the display screen. Descriptive lists of all messages appearing in the display are also provided. TOUCH PAD BUTTON DESCRIPTION The WS Controller Panel has five touch pads that allow the operator control of the compressor and enable adjustment of the machine operating parameters.
Section 4 WS CONTROLLER DESCRIPTION (RED LED) - Lights when a compressor fault has Fault Warning Indicator occurred. The indicator will remain lit and the compressor will remain inoperative until the fault condition is remedied. The controller display screen will indicate FAULTED and periodically a brief description of the cause of the fault.
Section 4 WS CONTROLLER DESCRIPTION Listed below are compressor attributes that may be viewed in the Compressor Status View. This list will vary based on specific machine configurations. Temperature 1 - Displays the current compressor temperature at temperature probe 1. Temperature 2 - Displays the current compressor temperature at temperature probe 2.
Section 4 WS CONTROLLER DESCRIPTION The active operating mode of the compressor appears on the lower line of the display screen’s Normal View. See Figure 4.4. Figure 4.4 Compressor Operating Mode Display 70 ° F AU TO MA T IC Automatic Mode (Normal View) The compressor operating modes are described below:...

Section 4 WS CONTROLLER DESCRIPTION Text descriptions of operating states appear periodically on the lower line of the display screen while in Normal View. See Figure 4.5. The leading line will read “The Compressor is” below which the operating state description will be displayed. Figure 4.5 Controller Display Normal View: Operating State 70 °...
Section 4 WS CONTROLLER DESCRIPTION NORMAL VIEW SERVICE REMINDERS Service reminders may alternately appear in the Normal View display. See Figure 4.6. The Service Reminder screen is indicated by the words “Recommended Service:” appearing on the second line of the display. The bottom line displays a brief description of the recommended service required.
Section 4 WS CONTROLLER DESCRIPTION The list below provides an explanation of the Warning Messages that may appear in the display when an error occurs. High Oil Filter dP - Indicates the oil filter pressure differential is high. The oil filter needs to be checked or changed.

Section 4 WS CONTROLLER DESCRIPTION The list below provides an explanation of the Fault Messages that may appear when problems occur. Refer to Section 5, Troubleshooting, for instructions on actions to be taken when a fault condition occurs. Aux Motor Overload - The auxiliary motor overload relay has been tripped due to a power overload in the auxiliary motor.
Check for parts damaged by heat or an electrical short circuit, usually apparent by discoloration or a burnt odor. Should your problem persist after making the recommended check, consult your nearest Sullair Distributor or the Sullair Corporation factory Service Department. NOTE Sections portray common systematic problems that can occur during controller operation.
