    Compressor Controller is faulty, and not switching enough power to the compressor itself or the in-line compressor connector is loose. Note: Even when the LED is flashing blue, the system will attempt to pump up the tank every 12 hours. © 2023 HyQuest Solutions...
  • Page 16: Startup Sequence

    LED will flash green if completed successfully, or flash red or blue if there is a problem. At the end of each pumping cycle, the solenoid valve is turned off so the collected moisture is blown out of the micro mist separator to atmosphere. © 2023 HyQuest Solutions...
  • Page 17: Battery Size

    The battery voltage is monitored during all phases of operation. If the battery voltage falls below 10.0V then the status LED will show the battery low indication and all compressor operation will stop immediately. The battery voltage must then rise above 12.5V before clearing the battery low condition. © 2023 HyQuest Solutions...
  • Page 18 A compressor soft start feature allows the compressor to slowly ramp up to speed, limiting the initial peak current draw which always occurs when motors start up. This also helps prevent a battery low condition being registered as the compressor starts. © 2023 HyQuest Solutions...
  • Page 19: Part Iv Maintenance

    All HS40 Series II models have a system that automatically purges any built up moisture in the micro mist separator, at the end of the pump up cycle, by controlling a solenoid release valve. Filter Maintenance for the HS40 Series II © 2023 HyQuest Solutions...

    Check the lay of the tubing in the trench to ensure that it is free of coils and kinks. Under no circumstances should the tube form hollows where moisture can be trapped within the tube.

  • Page 35 As the water rises, the system pressure increases to the equivalent of the head H minus the amount the water rises within the bulb. This amount x, is non-linear and therefore cannot be completely compensated for by simple calibration. Provided the head H does not fall below say 300 mm, error from this cause is minimal. © 2023 HyQuest Solutions...
