For normal operation, leave the power connected to the compressor continuously, and use this selector switch. -
Page 25: Figure 4-1 - Control Schematic
WARNING Operation of the unit with improper relief valve setting can result in severe personal injury or machine damage. Ensure properly set valves are installed and maintained. 302EBA797-C (Ref. Drawing) Figure 4-1 – CONTROL SCHEMATIC AIR CONTROL COMPONENTS - All units incorporate the following air control components. See Figure 4-1 for schematic tubing diagram. - Page 26 Changing Minimum Pressure/Check Valve Seals Be sure the unit is completely off and that no air pressure is in the oil reservoir. Disconnect, lockout and tagout the power supply to the starter. Tighten the nut down on the minimum pressure/check valve cover. Remove the 6 bolts holding the cover onto the separator housing.
- Page 27 The pressure switch starts and stops the compressor while in the automatic mode. The pressure input to this switch is the plant pressure, measured within the package. The switch is wired to an input of the electronic controller. Thermistors are located in the air system directly after the compressor and after the separator. These sense the temperature at these two locations, and are wired back to the electronic controller.
-
Page 28: Figure 4-2 - Maximum Setpoint For Nema 4 Pressure Switch
The first adjustment, the load pressure, controls the pressure at which the compressor will start, see Figure 4-2). This is often referred to as the cut-in or reset pressure, and will be the minimum pressure while in automatic operation. For the most economical operation, set this as low as tolerable for the equipment operating from the compressed air. - Page 29 Install a jumper on the center pair of pins when it is necessary to have the compressor automatically restart after a power interruption. There will be a brief delay, then the controller will resume operation if the selector switch is in its ON position. This feature should only be enabled when the owner determines that it is safe to do so.

DANGER Air/oil under pressure will cause severe personal injury or death. Shut down compressor, relieve system of all pressure, disconnect, lockout and tagout power supply to the starter before removing valves, caps, plugs, fittings, bolts and filters. DANGER Compressor, air/oil reservoir, separation chamber and all piping and tubing may be at high temperature during and after operation. - Page 38 THERMAL CONTROL (THERMOSTATIC MIXING) VALVE is installed in the system. This valve is used to control the temperature of the oil. On start-up with unit cold, the element is open to bypass, allowing oil to pass directly from the reservoir to the compressor during warm-up. As oil warms, the element gradually closes to the bypass allowing more of the oil from the cooler to mix with oil from the bypass.
- Page 39 NOTICE A sudden drop of zero pressure differential or sudden heavy oil carryover may indicate a ruptured element. Inspection - After removal of separator element, shine a light inside the element to reveal areas of heavy dirt or varnish deposits or breaks (ruptures) in element media. Removal of Oil Separator For Inspection or Replacement: DANGER Air/oil under pressure will cause severe personal injury or death.
- Page 40 COMPRESSOR OIL SYSTEM CHECK - The following readings are based on ambient temperature of 80° F (27° C) with the system in good condition. The compressor should be at operating temperature at the time of the checks. One-half hour of loaded operation is usually sufficient to reach level-out operating temperatures.

- Page 49 TROUBLESHOOTING AUTOSENTRY T ELECTRONIC CONTROLLER The electronic controller provides all of the control functions necessary to operate the compressor package. Five indicator lights on the electronic controller provide information on its operating status. Whenever unexpected operation occurs, carefully note which indicators are lit. GREEN POWER-ON INDICATOR This light indicates that power is supplied to the controller.
- Page 50 RED COMPRESSOR TEMPERATURE FAULT INDICATOR These indicators light only if shutdown conditions exist with thermistors used to sense temperatures. The shutdown conditions are (1) high temperature, (2) shorted thermistor or wiring, (3) open thermistor or wiring or (4) extreme low temperature. The indicator will be lit steadily while the condition exists, and flash after the condition is cleared.
- Page 51 Low voltages may lead to high motor currents. The overload relay will sense these and shut down the compressor to protect the motor. If voltage is low while the compressor is off, locate and correct the cause. If the voltage drops low only while the compressor is running, look for poor connections or undersized wiring.
