mize the motor load. See Figure 8-4. Atimer is started
when this occurs. While inthis state, control air pressure
is supplied from the plant air system. When system air
pressure drops due to increased demand, the blow-
down valve recloses and the controls resume their nor-
mal modulation sequence.
Subsequent blowdown periods are not allowed untilthe
timer has completed its cycle. This cycle eliminates the
problems of oil foaming and carryover which can occur
ifthe oil reservoir of an oil-flooded compressor is blown
down too often. The timer is adjustable from 10 to 20
minutes.
Automatic Mode Operation -This mode provides auto-
matic start and timed stop, and is best used in applica-
tions with long unloaded periods. Operation during
periods of demand or moderately long unloaded periods
IS identical to the low demand mode.
The Auto time delay isadustable from 10 to 20 minutes.
If the controller operates unloaded for this period with
no demand, the compressor drive motor is halted to
eliminate its power consumption. The controls will
remain in this state until demand isagain indicated by a
drop in pressure.
Sequence Mode Operation -This mode provides for
communication between controllers, operating only as
many as are required for economical operation. The lead
unit operates identically to the automatic mode; opera-
tion will be automatically staged for each lag unit.
Communication between controllers is achieved by in-
terconnection of acommunications link to circuit board
connectors DB9A &DB9B. An address must be as-
signed to each unit to operate inthis mode (see “Adjust-
ments” in this section).
CONTROLLER DISPlAY
The display above the keypad is used to provide operat-
ing information to the user. If ashutdown has occurred,
the display will indicate the cause as noted above.
During normal operation the display will show the opera-
tion mode, system pressure, compressor discharge
temperature, and total running hours. Alternate displays
are available by pressing keypad cursor keys, and will
be identified on the display. These include reservoir
pressure, separator differential pressure, reservoir
temperature, system pressure, and compressor dis-
charge temperature. If no keys are pressed for 5
seconds, the display will return to its normal mode.
The display isalso used as a service reminder for normal
maintenance items. These include the separator, air
filter, and oilfilter change intervals. Allintervals are based
on recommended parts as noted in the maintenance
section of this manual. Oil change intervals are also
automatically calculated, based on actual operating
conditions. This allows maximum utilization of AEON
9000 oil. Messages willalso be displayed ifoperation has
occurred during low ambient temperatures, or if high
temperature operation has occurred.
To reset these messages, press the STOP/RESET key
to stop operation of the compressor. Disconnect power
and service the unit as required. Following service, re-
store power to the unit, press STOP/RESET to clear the
controller, and press ENTER to display the messages.
Pressing ENTER repeatedly will clear the messa es.
after messages have been cleared, press STOP/ResET
and select an operating mode to resume operation.
ADJUSTMENTS
All operating adjustments are made through the keypad
while compressor oeration is stopped. If the unit is
8operating, press ST P/RESET to enter the ready state.
Then press ENTER to begin adjustments. Service mes-
sages, if present, will be displa ed first (see above). In
o
all of the following, pressing ST P/RESTORE will return
to the ready state, pressing the +(INCREASE) or -
(DECREASE) keys will modify the value, and pressing
ENTER will retain the value as displayed and move to
the next step.
Operating Sequence Address -This isused for multiple
compressor sequence only; the controller must be con-
nected to other units prior to selecting its address. The
address number will be displayed, and maybe changed
by pressing the +or -keys. Avalue of Oremoves the
controller from sequence operation; any other value
may be selected which is different from the other units.
Once selected, press ENTER.
Blowdown Time -This sets the time delay allowed
between blowdowns to prevent oil foaming.
Auto Time -This adjusts the time delay for unloaded
running before the motor is halted in Automatic modes.
Start Time -This adjusts the time that the motor starter
will remain in the start mode on wyedelta starters.
Following the above adjustments, the controller and
display will normally return to the ready state. Setup
adjustments may also be performed if enabled by the
setup switch. To enable, turn off power to the compres-
sor unit. On the upper left corner of the circuit board, a
switch will be found. Move the switch to the left. The
switch may be left inthis position to allow further adjust-
ment, or moved back after the following adjustments are
completed. Restore power to the unit and step through
the adjustments noted above. Following Start Time ad-
justment, the following will be available for adjustment.
Pressure Setpoint -This adjusts the pressure at which
the controller will maintain pressure by modulation.
Oil Filter Interval -The service interval in hours maybe
adjusted to shorter times as required for severe applica-
tions.
Oil Change Interval -The service interval in hours may
be adjusted to shorter times as required for severe
applications. The hours shown are for operation at 180°
F; the advisory message will appear sooner if high
temperature operation occurs.
High Temperature Limit -This is normally set for 225°
F. It may be temporarily set lower to test operation ofthe
high temperature protection, ifdesired.
This completes controller adjustment. Press the
STOP/RESET key to return to operating modes.
