COMPRESSOR OPERATION
Manual for details.
SEQ HRS
6.5 OPERATING THE COMPRESSOR
Before operating the compressor the operating pa-
rameters must be setup. See the previous section
on operating parameter setup.
MANUAL OPERATION MODE
In this mode the compressor will run indefinitely, as
long as temperatures and pressure remain within
the valid operating ranges, and the motor overload
or emergency stop contacts are not tripped. Press-
ing the "I"will turn on the compressor and put it in
manual mode. If the compressor is already running,
but in automatic mode, pressing "I" will switch op-
eration to manual. Pressing "I" while already running
in manual mode will cause the Supervisor to turn off
the common fault relay, if engaged, and clear any
maintenance indicators.
To stop the compressor, press "O". If the compres-
sor is already off when "O" is pressed, the common
fault relay will be turned off, if engaged, and it will try
to clear the alarm and maintenance indicators. Re-
gardless of what the compressor is doing, pressing
"O" puts the Supervisor II in manual stop mode.
AUTOMATIC OPERATION MODE
In this mode the compressor will start if line pressure
(P2) is less than the LOAD parameter. It will stop if
the compressor runs unloaded for the number of
minutes indicated by the UNLD TIM parameter . To
put the compressor in automatic mode press "
P2 is already less than LOAD the compressor will
start immediately, otherwise the system status will
indicate STANDBY and the LED marked AUTO will
flash.
If the compressor is already running, but in continu-
ous mode, pressing "
tomatic. Pressing " " while already running in auto-
matic mode will cause the Supervisor II to turn off
the common fault relay, if engaged, and clear any
maintenance indicators.
In automatic mode the compressor can be stopped
manually by pressing "O". Stopping the compressor

using "O" will put the Supervisor II in manual stop
mode.
Regardless of whether in "automatic" or "manual"
mode, control of the load solenoid will be based on
the parameters UNLD and LOAD. This operation is
as follows:
P2 > UNLD - -- -> load solenoid turned off
P2 < LOAD - -- -> load solenoid turned on
POWER FAILURE RESTART
If the restart timer (RST TIME parameter) is dis-
abled the compressor will not try to start after a pow-
er up. If this time is set to a value the machine will go
into standby after power up. When the line pressure
drops below the load setpoint, the restart timer will
start timing. When the timer expires the machine will
start.
SEQUENCING MODES
The following is a brief description of sequencing
modes, for details see the Supervisor II Sequencing
& Protocol Manual (P/N 02250057--696).
S S S S DISABLED -- Responds to status and pa-
rameter change messages via the RS485
network but will not respond to start, stop,
load or unload messages.
S S S S REMOTE -- Responds to status and pa-
rameter change messages but will not re-
spond to start, stop, load or unload mes-
sages. The remote inputs and outputs are
enabled (start/stop, load/unload, master/lo-
cal).
". If
S S S S SLAVE -- Will respond to all messages, but
will not start or load unless commanded to
do so by a message. This mode is used to
control the machine from a master comput-
er.
S S S S HOURS -- Sends status message about
once a second, starts, loads and unloads
machines based on sequencing hours.
S S S S COM ID # -- Sends status message about
once a second, starts, loads and unloads
machines based on machine Com ID#.
OPERATION
Pushing in this switch, found adjacent to the Supervi-
sor, cuts all AC outputs from the latter and de--ener-
gizes the starter. A fault message (E STOP) is dis-
played by the Supervisor until the button is pulled out
and the "O" pad is depressed.
