Safety 2.2 Special Safety Information
Page 6 BOGE base control for scroll compressors
2.2 Special Safety Information
Switch Cabinet The control is housed in a switch cabinet.
The control unit of the control can be found at the front of the switch cabinet.
The control may only be operated via the control unit when the switch cabinet
is closed.
Please note that only settings that can be applied via the control unit of the
control may be changed using these operating instructions.
Emergency Stop
Function / Main Switch
The emergency stop function serves to avert or prevent a prevailing emer-
gency situation, where such a situation is the result of conduct by individuals
or an event posing an unexpected danger.
The emergency stop function is provided through the main switch. When the
main switch with emergency stop function is pressed, compressor operation
stops immediately and the switch cabinet and control are no longer live.
Dangerous voltage may still be present on the supply terminals even though
the machine is disconnected from the grid.
The main switch is not located on the control unit of the base control; it is in-
stead in a highly visible location on the front of the scroll compressor housing.
WARNING
Risk of Electric Shock
Live parts are located inside the switch cabinet. There is a risk of electric
shock when the switch cabinet is opened.
Never open the switch cabinet during operation.
Only operate the control when the switch cabinet is closed.
The switch cabinet may only be opened by an authorized and qualified
electrician.
Please note:
– Press the main switch to avoid or prevent an emergency situation.
– In normal operation the Off key should be pressed on the control to prop-
erly shut down the compressor.
– In addition, always press the main switch when carrying out inspections
or work on the compressor or switch cabinet.

Safety 2.3 Operator and Personnel
Changing Parameters /
Settings
The control regulates the compressor using specific parameters / settings.
The individual parameters represent the values that can be used to change
the compressor functions (e.g. switch-on and switch-off pressure) so that the
compressor generates compressed air as required. However, incorrect set-
tings can also lead to operational faults or destruction of the compressor.
Data Security The base control automatically stores all data – e.g. altered settings – in the
non-volatile memory. The saved data are therefore also available in the event
of a power failure.
Damage to the Control
Unit
All keys on the control unit are operated by tapping on them with a finger. Light
tapping on the interface is sufficient to actuate the keys. Do not use any sharp
or abrasive objects when operating the control unit. BOGE accepts no liability
for damage resulting from improper use.
2.3 Operator and Personnel
Personnel Requirements Only individuals who are able to carry out the work correctly and reliably and
who meet the following requirements may perform work on the control:
Trained Personnel
Trained personnel are individuals who have been informed in detail by the
operator of the potential dangers concerning the tasks assigned to them and
for whom this training has been documented.
Qualified Personnel
Qualified personnel are individuals who are able to successfully carry out work
assigned to them, recognize potential dangers independently and avoid injury
to individuals or property due to their professional training, knowledge and
experience as well as their knowledge of the relevant regulations.
CAUTION
Compressor Damage
Changing parameters / operational settings that have an effect on the oper-
ation or function of the compressor may damage or destroy the compres-
sor.
Only authorized, qualified personnel may make changes to parameters
or settings.
If in doubt regarding a change to operational settings, contact BOGE
Service.

Layout and Function 3.1 Operating Principle of the Control
Part 3: Layout and Function 3.1 Operating Principle of the Control
The compressor control is the central control element of the compressor sys-
tem.
The compressor control with switch cabinet is integrated in the compressor
housing and connected directly to the compressor. This means that it is ready
for operation as soon as the compressor is connected to the power supply.
Basic Tasks of the
Control
The first essential task carried out by the control is the monitoring of all com-
pressor system functions. Information on compressor operation can be called
up and checked on the control display. This includes data on the current oper-
ating status of the compressor or servicing intervals (see Part 4: Display and
Operation, page 13 ff.).
The second essential task carried out by the control is the efficient regulation
of the compressor for tailored use. To do this, compressor parameters can
be set via the control. These are required for the compressor to generate com-
pressed air according to individual requirements. This includes parameters
for setting the pressure to be generated (see Part 5: Setting Parameters,
page 19 ff.).
Use as a Lower-level
Control in the Compres-
sor Network
The BOGE base control can be connected to the master control of
a compressor network via a Modbus interface module. The lower-level
control then operates according to the instructions of the master control.
It must also be parameterized to suit the master control.
