3.2.1.3 Short-cycle Protection

The VLT® Compressor Drive CDS 803 includes a compressor short-cycling protection that prevents mechanical wear to the compres-
sor and reduces the risk of oil shortage caused by starting and stopping too often. The short-cycle protection consists of 2 timers:
• The interval between starts ensures that a new start first becomes active when the start time has expired.
• The minimum run time ensures that the compressor always runs for a defined minimum time before stopping the compressor.
•
Warning 96, Start Delay is shown in the display if there is a start signal and the INTERVAL BETWEEN STARTS has not expired.
•
Warning 97, Stop Delay is shown in the display if there is a stop signal and the MINIMUM RUNTIME has not expired.
