ZEUS Dual Compressor Manual Axiom Technologies 255 Pennbright Dr, Suite 220, Houston, Texas 77090 Phone 281 931 0907 ACCESSING MENUS Charger operation is controlled by employing a series of setpoints using the onboard keyboard and LCD display. In order to access the main menu, press the minus (-) key on the unit’s keyboard.

Values that are typically field-application specific are found under the Display menu.

“high level” signal. Level Steady Sec: when using the ZEUS to control a tank dump valve, this is used to filter false “high level” signals due to tank sloshing. The controller will ignore “high level” signals that are shorter in duration than the value entered.

In that scenario, both compressors would be set to transducer #1 (or transducer #2). This option should only be used if the outputs of both tanks are teed together upstream of any check valves.

The procedure will start by asking the user to identify which channel they wish to calibrate (for the ZEUS Jr., this will always be channel 1. Then it will ask the user to apply a high pressure to the transducer and type in the pressure that was applied. Usually this will be a pressure near the expected operating point for that channel.
