If it is necessary to service the UniSAB 4 control system, the power supply to the compressor motor must be switched off on the main switch to prevent the compressor from starting up accidentally. As the UniSAB 4 box contains live parts, it is very important to comply with the safety regulations on site.

Safety equipment All safety circuit components are connected through the UniSAB 4 controller. The controller is a hardwired connection point for the components. No control logic is implemented into the safety circuit. The UniSAB 4 controller is not considered part of the safety circuit. Port X4 pin 7 and 8 activates an input signal to the UniSAB Controller for indication of an emergency stop.
Operation The purpose of the UniSAB 4 control system is to monitor, protect, control, and regulate reciprocating and screw compressors. The control cabinet and the electrical components are connected at the factory. As a result, there are only a few electrical installation connections needed on site. The UniSAB 4 is programmed according to the type of compressor it is going to control.
