Safety First Compressed air and electricity can be dangerous. Before undertaking any work on the compressor, ensure that the electrical supply has been isolated and the compressor has been relieved of all pressure. Use proper Lock Out Tag Out procedures to ensure you and your coworkers safety. Keep all parts of the body and any hand-held tools or other conductive objects, away from exposed live parts of the compressor electrical system.
Overview of the Eiger Control System The S3 Intellisys controller is used to control the operations of the air compressor. The following troubleshooting guide will allow you to troubleshoot the compressor components. The controller will come in two standard configurations, one is STD (standard) the other is ENH (enhanced). The difference is the options that are enabled in the software of the controller when the compressor is ordered.

GENERAL OVERVIEW OF THE COMPRESSOR The compressor is an electric motor driven, single stage screw compressor, complete with accessories piped, wired and base plate mounted. It is a totally self contained air compressor package. The standard compressor is designed to operate in an ambient range of 2_C to 46_C (35_F to 115_F).

STD Common Fault Relay - This is an output provided for customer use. This relay energizes during normal operation and returns to its Normally Open, N.O., state, when a shutdown or trip condition is detected. The Fault relay should only toggle when the controller has detected a Shutdown or Trip (Alarm) condition.

1.7 Remote Control The compressor will not automatically restart after a power failure unless a PORO kit is installed. The compressor can be restarted using the Green start button only if the compressor is getting a remote run command. 1,8 Auto Stop Timer The auto stop timer has a range of 30 to 360 seconds. Zero (0) can be selected, which will prevent the motor from stopping.

EIGER OPTIONAL FEATURES STD Low Ambient - The low ambient kit is designed to protect the compressor when starting in temperatures below 2° C. The temperature is measured at the air-end discharge. The temperature is read using the standard Air-end temperature sensor. When the Low ambient option is installed and selected and the A/E Discharge Temperature is measured to be below 2°C, the compressor will be started when commanded but will delay to load a period of time defined by the Low Ambient Delay Time, Section 12.
