CHAPTER 2: PLC CONTROLLED UNIT OPERATIONS
2.1 Pre-start Checks
1. Ensure that all scheduled maintenance is completed.
2. Check compressor oil level. Refer to Chapter 3.
3. Check Emergency Stop Switch is pulled out.
2.2 Start-up Procedure
(See Figure 2-1)
1. Verify that all connections downstream of the compressor are secure.
2. Apply electric power to the unit.
3. Pull out Emergency Shop Switch.
4. Turn the Compressor Control Switch to the ON position.
2.3 Post Start Procedures
1. Allow the compressor to build up pressure. Monitor the pressure gauge.
2. Listen to the unit as it operates. If excessive knocking or vibrations are observed shut down the unit.
3. Allow the compressor to reach full pressure.
2.4 Normal Operations
The compressor will operate automatically as needed while the Control Switch is in the ON position,
The Emergency Stop Switch is pulled out, power is applied to the control circuit and there are no fault
conditions.
2.5 Shutdown Procedures
1. Verify all bottle valves and fill valves are closed.
2. Turn the Compressor Control Switch to the OFF position.
3. Leave Emergency Stop Switch pulled out for at least 8 hours every 30 days to maintain the charge
on the internal PLC battery and preserve the PLC operating memory.
4. If the compressor is to remain idle for six months or longer, refer to the Appendix titled, Long Term
Storage for preservation instructions.

2.6 Electric Panel Components
See Figure 2-1
2.6.1 Emergency Stop Switch.
The Emergency Stop Switch is a switch with a large, red mushroom head. The button must be pulled
out for the unit to operate. In an emergency, depress the push button, which will shutdown the electric
motor and all other periphery devices. Do not use the Emergency Stop Switch for securing the equip-
ment under normal operation, use the Compressor Control Switch. The PLC operating memory is main-
tained by a internal battery in the PLC. Removing all power from the compressor will allow the battery
to discharge over a 30 day period. To recharge the PLC battery apply power to the unit, put the Control
Switch in the OFF position, pull out the Emergency Stop Switch, and allow the battery to charge for at
least 8 hours every 30 days.
2.6.2 Starter Reset
The Starter Reset is a blue push button with the letter “R” at its center. Pushing this button will reset the
thermal overload relay on the motor starter. Should the electric motor have overloaded and tripped out

during normal operation, then depressing this button after giving the motor starter some time to cool,
will reset the overload relay portion of the motor starter. An Overload Fault is indicated by the red
Alarm Light on steady (not flashing).
2.6.3 Compressor Control Switch
2.6.3.1 2-Position (Standard)
OFF Position - The Compressor Control Switch switch must be in the OFF position when securing the
compressor system.
ON Position - The Compressor Control Switch switch must be in the ON position to operate the com-
pressor system. When positioning the switch to the ON position, it will illuminate Green. The compres-
sor will start and stop automatically based on the status of the pressure switch.
2.6.4 Indicator Lamps
2.6.4.1 PLC Warning and Alarm Lamps
2.6.4.1.1 Warning Lamp - Amber
The Warning Lamp is a LED lamp for long trouble free life. This lamp will flash a code IAW the logic
of the PLC. See Paragraph 2.7.
2.6.4.1.2 Alarm Lamp - Red
The Alarm Lamp is a LED lamp for long trouble free life. This lamp will flash a code IAW the logic of
the PLC. See Paragraph 2.8.
2.6.5 Hourmeter
The panel is supplied with an hourmeter. The hourmeter is not resettable and used to monitor the run
hours of the compressor. It is powered with a 120 VAC signal supplied from the auxiliary contact on
the motor starter.
2.6.6 PLC Control
This panel will be controlled with a Telemecanique 16 I/O Twido Programmable Logic Controller. This
unit will provide logical operations to the overall system that includes the high pressure compressor,
purification systems, and other accessories.
2.7 Warnings
The amber Warning Lamp located on the control panel flashes warning codes with a 0.5 second on, 0.5
second off sequence with a distinct pause between sequences. In addition the light will illuminate on
initial start up for a period of 5 seconds, to serve as a lamp test function. The lamp is a LED lamp for
long trouble free life.
2.7.1 One Flash - Final Separator Warning
The compressor unit is equipped with a final separator. To prevent fatigue failure of this pressure ves-
sel, the PLC program monitors the pressurization, de-pressurization cycles of the separator and will
first issue a Warning, and then an Alarm. The program is set up to provide the warning at 90% of the
maximum recommended number of cycles. The program is configured to reflect these values when it is
built. When the warning is illuminated, the unit will still continue to function properly, but will prompt
the operator to contact Bauer Compressors for making arrangements to replace the Final Separator.
When the Alarm level has been achieved, the compressor will no longer function, and will require the
replacement of the Final Separator. Once the Final Separator is replaced, the unit can be re-activated by
making adjustments to the PLC. Please contact Bauer Product Support for detailed instructions on this
procedure.

2.7.2 Two Flashes - Securus Monitor (Optional)
The compressor purification system may be equipped with an optional Securus®Electronic Moisture
Monitor. This consists of a control module and cable connected to the purification chamber. It functions
as a capacitive sensor, sensing the moisture in the purified air. When the chemicals in the purification
cartridges have reached the point where they retain a set level of moisture, the Securus®monitor will
issue a warning via the amber Warning Light. On a Securus®Warning condition, the compressor will
run normally, the PLC I7 lamp will illuminate, and the warning code will flash. This warning is meant
to prompt the operator to schedule replacement of the purification cartridge.
2.8 Alarms
The red Warning Light located on the control panel flashes warning codes with a 0.5 second on, 0.5
second off sequence with a distinct pause between sequences.In addition the light will illuminate on ini-
tial start up for a period of 5 seconds, to serve as a lamp test function. The lamp is a LED lamp for long
trouble free life.
2.8.1 One Flash - Compressor High Temperature
The compressor high temperature switch is located on the compressor block, third, fourth or fifth stage
head, depending on model. Under normal operating conditions, the switch is closed and the I1 lamp on
the PLC is illuminated. On a high temperature condition, the compressor will shutdown, the I1 lamp
will extinguish, and the alarm code will flash.
2.8.2 Two Flashes - Compressor Low Oil Pressure
The compressor oil pressure switch is located on the back of the compressor block, mounted with the
oil pressure gauge. The switch is N.O., Normally Open, and is connected to the PLC on terminal I2.
During startup of the compressor, the oil pressure switch is bypassed for a period of 45 seconds to allow
the oil pressure to stabilize, then the switch will close. Then should the compressor lose oil pressure, the
compressor will shutdown, the I2 lamp will extinguish, and the alarm code will flash.
2.8.3 Three Flashes - Compressor Overtime
The compressor has an overtime function, where if the compressor runs continuously for 5 hours, then
the compressor will shutdown, and the alarm code will flash. This is done to secure the equipment if it
were to be started and left unattended.
2.8.4 Four Flashes - Securus Monitor
The compressor purification system is equipped with a Securus®Electronic Moisture Monitor. This
consists of a control module and cable connected to the purification chamber. It functions as a capaci-
tive sensor, sensing the moisture in the purified air. When the chemicals in the purification cartridge has
reached the point where it retains a set level of moisture, the Securus®monitor will issue an alarm via
the red Alarm Light. On a Securus®ALARM condition, the compressor will shutdown, the PLC I5
lamp will be illuminated, and the alarm code will flash.
^WARNING
Do not attempt to override the Separator Shutdown Warning.
This feature is provided to protect personnel from injury or death.
