As soon as several compressors are installed in a compressed air network, it is advisable to add a higher-level base load changeover controller for regulation. For many years, this control was provided by CONDOR type GLW 16 and the GLW 4 (with many extended functions such as a timer, ball valve, base load/load changing etc.) has been on the market since June 2004.
If there are some instructions and information that you cannot find in this operating manual, please ask the manufacturer, Condor Pressure Control GmbH (for address see p. 21). Condor Pressure Control GmbH accepts no liability arising from a failure to comply with the operating instructions.
All special compressor data is programmed in ‘profiles’. The internal timer can control up to six different profiles. It is not yet necessary to connect the compressed air network for programming. Condor Pressure Control GmbH Phone +49 (0)25 87-89-0 info@condor-cpc.com 5 / 28 Warendorfer Str.

All settings are separately switchable! Free programming of a potential-free changeover contact as an alarm output. GLW 4 from CONDOR PRESSURE CONTROL GMBH provides an electronic solution of a base load changeover controller for a maximum of four compressors. The GLW 4 has to be clipped on to a 35mm-wide top-hat rail conforming to the standard DIN EN 50022.
The internal pressure sensor is approved for the measurement range 0...16 bar. The terminal polarity must be observed when connecting to an external pressure transducer.

Furthermore, an error message is generated when the respective switch-off pressure is exceeded as soon as the monitoring time has elapsed and the alarm relay is activated in the menu (ON). Condor Pressure Control GmbH Phone +49 (0)25 87-89-0 info@condor-cpc.com 8 / 28 Warendorfer Str.
(e.g. for weekend shutdown) while the compressors are switched off. This reduces the energy costs caused by leaks in the compressed air network. Condor Pressure Control GmbH Phone +49 (0)25 87-89-0 info@condor-cpc.com 9 / 28 Warendorfer Str.
The password can be changed in General Settings and is recommended only with due care. A reactivation can only be carried out by CONDOR WERKE Gebr. Frede GmbH & Co. KG. After the supply voltage has been connected the CONDOR logo appears (there is a brief acoustic...
5.2 Front view After Type GLW 4 has been switched on, the CONDOR logo appears with the type designation GLW 4 and a specifica- tion of the V1.00 software version. The main status display appears as soon as any one of the three buttons is pressed.
Pressing the arrow buttons moves you through the main menu. As soon as the OK button is pressed, you enter the selected sub-menu or confirm the selected setting. 5.3.1 Menu: Main menu Condor Pressure Control GmbH Phone +49 (0)25 87-89-0 info@condor-cpc.com 12 / 28 Warendorfer Str.
When the operating voltage is connected (usually 230V-AC), only the selected profile is processed without the timer. The GLW 4 switches off as soon as the operating voltage is connected (usually 230V-AC). Condor Pressure Control GmbH Phone +49 (0)25 87-89-0 info@condor-cpc.com 13 / 28 Warendorfer Str.
After the load change time has elapsed and the upper switch-off threshold has been reached, the order of the compressors changes. The ‘On’ setting triggers an immediate load change, without reaching the upper switch-off threshold. Condor Pressure Control GmbH Phone +49 (0)25 87-89-0 info@condor-cpc.com 14 / 28 Warendorfer Str.
Switching to a profile (P1 to P6) in General Settings, ‘Operating mode profiles’ switches off the timer function and only the selected profile is executed. Condor Pressure Control GmbH Phone +49 (0)25 87-89-0 info@condor-cpc.com 16 / 28 Warendorfer Str.
If the OFF setting is selected, load change only occurs after the upper switch-on time has been reached. Please note that the load change time is only the time in which the compressor is ac- tuated! Condor Pressure Control GmbH Phone +49 (0)25 87-89-0 info@condor-cpc.com 18 / 28 Warendorfer Str.
If the network pressure is still below the set alarm level after the monitoring time has elapsed (or above the upper switch-off threshold), the alarm output is acti- vated. Condor Pressure Control GmbH Phone +49 (0)25 87-89-0 info@condor-cpc.com 19 / 28 Warendorfer Str.
