OPERATING AND PARTS MANUAL INDUSTRIAL ELECTRIC AIR COMPRESSORS 125, 150, 200 AND 250 HP-UD MODELS WITH T1 MICRO PROCESSOR CONTROL PALATEK, INC. dba SULLIVAN-PALATEK MICHIGAN CITY, IN 46360 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED COPYRIGHT 2011 04/01/2011 P/N OPM125/250T1...
SECTION 1 - SAFETY GENERAL SULLIVAN-PALATEK designs all its compressors so they can be operated safely despite the fact that operating a motor driven air compressor is inherently hazardous. Responsibility for continued safe operation rests with those who install, use and maintain the equipment.
SULLIVAN-PALATEK______________________________ Do not use air pressure greater than 30 PSI (207 kPa) for blow-off or cleaning purposes, and then only with effective chip guarding and personal protective equipment as required by OSHA. Compressed air filters or lubricators with plastic bowls may be affected by lubricant and should not be used.
______________________________SULLIVAN-PALATEK PHYSICAL DANGERS Wear OSHA approved personal protective gear including gloves, safety shoes, safety glasses, head covering, and ear protection when working on or around the compressor. Avoid bodily contact with hot oil, hot surfaces, sharp edges and corners. Keep all parts of the body away from all potential points of air discharge, including pressure relief valve ports.
SULLIVAN-PALATEK______________________________ LIFTING Lift or move the compressor only with equipment of sufficient load capacity that has been inspected and is in good condition. Keep personnel out from under and away from the area when lifting or moving the compressor. Lift no higher than necessary. Carry as low as possible when moving. Keep lifting operator in attendance whenever compressor is suspended.
______________________________SULLIVAN-PALATEK 1.11 HAZARD WARNING SIGNS SULLIVAN-PALATEK compressors are all equipped with brightly colored, weather- resistant, pictorial/verbal self-adhesive decals. These are designed to warn the operator against potential hazards in order to minimize risk of property damage, bodily injury or death. All operators must be aware of the Warning Signs and follow the instructions thereon.
NOTE: SEE INSTALLATION DRAWINGS ON PAGES 57-61 OF THIS MANUAL DATA AND DIMENSIONS SULLIVAN-PALATEK reserves the right to change the design or construction of the above compressors, or to offer them with options which will cause subject equipment to differ from the above specifications, without reference to any descriptions in this manual.
MOTOR The electric motor used to power each SULLIVAN-PALATEK UD Series 125/250 horsepower compressor is a NEMA standard three phase 60 Hertz AC induction type, ODP motor, fitted with a C-face register at the compressor drive end to assure proper coupling alignment at all times.

SULLIVAN-PALATEK______________________________ Control Operation - Starting: When the compressor start key is pressed, or starts automatically (signal from BLT or sequencer), it will run for approximately 10 seconds unloaded. After this interval, the pressure will rise quickly to 60 PSIG (415 KPA) which is the minimum pressure valve opening pressure.

______________________________SULLIVAN-PALATEK CONTROL SCHEMATIC...
SULLIVAN-PALATEK______________________________ COMPRESSOR LUBRICATION/COOLING SYSTEM The cooling system consists of a fan, fan motor, finned-tube radiator-type fluid cooler, thermovalve to accelerate warm-up, and to control operating temperature, a full-flow filter, a drain valve and interconnecting tubing. Pressure in the oil separation tank utilizes air pressure over oil which causes the lubricoolant to flow from this region of relatively high pressure through the system to an area of lower pressure at the compressor unit.
Page 14
______________________________SULLIVAN-PALATEK A sight gauge is provided to monitor the lubricoolant level in the oil separation tank, and a capped oil fill port is provided to keep the oil the proper level and to refill the system after changing the lubricoolant. WARNING: Do not remove caps, plugs or other components or connections while the compressor is running or pressurized.
SULLIVAN-PALATEK______________________________ STARTER AND ELECTRICAL PARTS The three-phase electric motor starter supplied with the SULLIVAN-PALATEK Plant Air Compressor has a NEMA-1 rated enclosure. This is also the location of: the control power transformer, the control pressure transducer, the over-pressure shutdown switch ROP, the anti-restart pressure switch ASP, fan motor disconnect fuses, and fan overload.
It is possible to utilize this heat for space heating, combustion air pre-heating, product drying, etc., --providing that no additional restriction is imposed upon the compressor cooling fan. Consult the factory for assistance if heat recovery is desired. Model 125G 150G 200G 250G AIRFLOW (CFM)
SULLIVAN-PALATEK______________________________ DIRECTION OF ROTATION Once the control circuit has been checked, all piping installed, and compressor is filled with lubricoolant, push the ‘run’ key (green) followed by the ‘stop’ button (red) and observe the direction of rotation. If rotation direction is incorrect, there may be a fault signal appear (ER0050).
______________________________SULLIVAN-PALATEK SECTION 5 - OPERATION INTRODUCTION Read this entire Operator’s Manual to familiarize yourself with the SULLIVAN-PALATEK Plant Air Compressor, giving special attention to the Section 1 - SAFETY. INITIAL START Open main disconnect to be sure there is no power to the compressor.
SULLIVAN-PALATEK______________________________ 6. Once the parameter has been selected, press “enter,” then use the “up” (+) or “down” (-) keys to change the setting. 7. Press “enter” to effect this change in setting. 8. Press “enter” again and then use the “up” (+) or “down” (-) key to select the next setting to be changed.
SULLIVAN-PALATEK______________________________ OIL FILTER Replace if differential pressure exceeds 15 psid, H6 fault signal is shown, or every 1000 Hrs. 1. Open and lock-out main disconnect. 2. Relieve all internal system pressure. 3. Using a strap wrench, remove spin-on oil filter element 4.
______________________________SULLIVAN-PALATEK PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT Note: prior to making any control pressure adjustments, turn the adjusting screw on the modulating (or regulating) valve in several turns to get it out of the action. Once the control has been set, then the regulating (or modulating) valve is re-adjusted so that it starts operating (as determined by air coming out the vent hole in cap) at 5 PSIG lower pressure than the control set pressure.
SULLIVAN-PALATEK______________________________ TROUBLESHOOTING SYMPTOM PROBABLE CAUSES AND REMEDIES A. MACHINE WILL NOT START 1. Main disconnect open. Close switch. 2. Line fuse(s) blown. Replace Fuse(s). 3. Control circuit breaker tripped. Reset circuit breaker. 4. Motor starter overload tripped. Reset. Should trouble persist, check sizing and adjustment of overload.
