SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Safety is everybody’s business and is based on your use of good common sense. All situations or
circumstances cannot always be predicted and covered by established rules. Therefore, use your past
experience, watch out for safety hazards and be cautious. Some general safety precautions are given
below:
Failure to observe these notices will result in injury to or death of personnel.
Keep fingers and clothing away from rotating fan, drive coupling/belting, etc.
Disconnect the compressor unit from its power source, lockout and tagout before working on the
unit –this machine is automatically controlled and may start at any time.
Do not loosen or remove the enclosure or belt covers, or break any connections, etc., in the
compressor air system until the unit is shut down and the air pressure has been relieved.
Electrical shock can and may be fatal.
Perform all wiring in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NFPA-70) and any applicable
local electrical codes. Wiring and electrical service must be performed only by qualified
electricians.
Open main disconnect switch, lockout and tagout and check for voltage before working on the
control.
Failure to observe these notices could result in damage to equipment.
Stop the unit if any repairs or adjustments on or around the compressor are required.
Do not use the air discharge from this unit for breathing –not suitable for human consumption.
An Excess Flow Valve should be on all compressed air supply hoses exceeding 1/2 inch
inside diameter (OSHA Regulation, Section 1926.302).
Do not exceed the rated maximum pressure values shown on the nameplate.
Do not operate unit if safety devices are not operating properly. Check periodically. Never
bypass safety devices.

SECTION 2
GENERAL
The Gardner Denver Governor™ controller is an advanced electronic control system designed to provide
efficient and user friendly operation of your Gardner Denver compressor. This manual describes the
controller specifications and operation on Gardner Denver rotary screw compressors.
2.1 Components and Layout
The Governor™control system is made up of several different components, described briefly in this section.
2.1.1 Display
The display is the primary component that the user interacts with. On the front of the display, there is a
color touchscreen interface. The Start and Stop touch buttons are located directly below the screen. The
display houses the processor and memory for the system and interfaces with the other components through
communications ports on the back side.
Figure 1: Home Screen Display
The display is shown above in Figure 1 with the Home screen visible. Note that the Start and Stop buttons
as shown in the image are active areas of the touchscreen rather than physical push-buttons.

13-17-621 Page 10
2.1.2 IO Module
The IO module is mounted inside the compressor control cabinet and connects to the display via RS485
communications and houses all of the terminations for the analog and digital input and output signals. These
values are monitored and controlled by the display to operate the compressor. The IO module also contains
RS485 communications ports for customer connection and sequencing with multiple machines.
Figure 2: IO Module
The IO module is shown in Figure 2 above. Note that depending on the type of compressor you have, your
IO module may have more or less inputs and outputs present on it, indicated by the amount and size of
connectors on the board.
