  • Page 15: Working Timer - Unloading Delay

    EMAX Rotary Screw Compressors Working Timer - Unloading Delay To reduce wear & tear of the compressor components, an unloading delay time is set in the controls that shuts-down the compressor after the unloading delay time has counted down. If the compressor is running in slow periods of the day, the compressor could run for long periods in the unloading stage, causing unnecessary component wear and elevated energy costs. With an unload delay time of 10 minutes, for example, the compressor would run for 10 minutes in the unloading stage and then it would shut down and enter a stand-by mode. Then when the low pressure setting is reached, the compressor automatically starts again. To view or set the unload delay time, start Press the two arrow keys at the same time to with the main screen shown below.

    Drive motor is 4 pole with low RPM (1750). This motor is also capable of variable speed drive as a standard feature. The motor is 12 lead, Y delta soft starting for low amp draw. Overload protection is installed for safety. Normal electric current can fluctuate slightly for various reasons but if the current spikes, the overload protection causes the motor(s) to stop. If this happens, the motors must be reset manually. Reasons for tripped overload protection: Operator error: Improper regulation of air exhaust pressure or other parts of the system. Branch circuit not sized correctly Mechanical failures: • Internal motor failure • Improper motor phasing • System setting error • Blocked air/oil separator filter If motor overload protection is caused by any other reason, contact EMAX immediately.

To convert to variable speed drive, contact EMAX customer service for more information, 1-877-283-7614. Air Suction Filter (Air Intake) A dry type paper filter with filtration of 5 ppm, replace after first 600 hours of operation; then every 4000 hours, depending on environment. Refer to the computer controls of the compressor to monitor operating time and reset maintenance timer when filter is replaced.
  • Page 23 EMAX Rotary Screw Compressors Exhaust Probe The probe is temperature sensitive and located at the air outlet of the rotary screw casing. When exhaust temperature exceeds 210°F (98.8°C), the system automatically powers OFF. The temperature of the air exhaust can be read on a display panel located on the PLC. Common reasons for excessive exhaust temperatures: • low oil level • inoperable exhaust fan • improper ventilation causing ambient air temperature to be too hot • clogged oil filter • clogged radiator not allowing air-flow to cool oil It is important to keep the circulating fan and cooler fins clean to prevent the compressor from shutting down. Low air pressure can be used to blow them off or if needed, use waterbased solvent to clean.
  • Page 24 Operating Instructions Air/Oil Separator Filter During the process of air compression from pump, air and oil are mixed together to lubricate, seal and cool compressor rotors. This air and oil is transferred to air/ oil separator tank and then the air/oil separator filter removes oil mist from the compressed air. The filter core is made of multiple-layer fine glass fibers. The filter reduces the oil particle size and can lower content to less than 3 PPM. During normal operation, the air/oil separator filter can be used for about 4000 hours or annually, whichever comes first. Refer to the computer controls of the compressor to monitor operating time and remember to reset maintenance timer when filter is...
  • Page 25: Operation

    EMAX Rotary Screw Compressors Refrigerated Dryer/Coalescing Filter (optional, not shown) The refrigerated dryer removes moisture content. The coalescing filter removes oil droplets and impurities in the compressed air. The refrigerated dyer/coalescing filter operates best with an automatic drain that removes water condensation collected during the air drying process.
  • Page 26: Initial Checks

    Operating Instructions To avoid serious injury, keep all persons away from the discharge opening of hoses or tools or other points of compressed air discharge. If the machine is installed in an enclosed area, be sure to vent the relief valve outside of the structure or to an unoccupied area.
  • Page 27: Start-Up

    Be sure to close valve after draining water. Check “Emergency Stop” function by pressing the button shortly after pressing ON button. Do not operate the machine if there is any abnormal noise or vibration during operation. Call EMAX service for assistance.
  • Page 28: Storage

    Operating Instructions Storage If the machine is stopped for over three weeks: a) Wrap electrical equipment such as the control panel with plastic or oil paper to avoid condensation. b) Completely drain water in the oil cooler, the back cooler and the oil/air separator tank. Make sure any unsafe conditions are clearly stated or repaired. If the machine is not run for more than two months: Seal all ports to prevent moisture or dust accumulation. b) Wrap safety valve & control panel with oil paper or an equivalent to avoid rust.
  • Page 29: Lubricating Oil

    CAUTION Lubricating Oil To avoid water condensation during operation, keep oil temperature between 160° - 190° F (70° - 88° C). Failure to do so causes pump damage. Contact EMAX service if temperature drops below 160° F (70° C). Changing Oil Shut down compressor and allow machine to set for 5-10 minutes. Air/Oil Separator tank is a pressurized component. To avoid serious injury, be sure system pressure is relieved before removing fill plug.
