How EcoloAir system operates
The MC8 controller is used to read the analog signals from pressure transducers and to control
speed of exhaust fan motor in order to maintain the constant airflow. It also drives the operation of
ecolo compressor according to preset duty cycle or continuous run.
A small 7‘‘ touch screen is used to monitor the whole system. Screen will provide:
• Information on filters condition (remaining life of the filter (%)
• VFD actual speed (%)
• Features to operate ecolo compressor and to change the time settings on it
• Displays all alarms of the system
• HMI also provides calibration features for startup purpose
How to move around the screens in HMI
There are total of 6 screens used for this application. They are shown below in consecutive order.
Main screen Ecolo screen
Calibration screen Alarm screen

Moving between screens function is available through the labeled screen buttons at the top of each
screen. Press the ‘‘Fast Select’’ button at the lower left corner of the screen to display a pop up menu
of screen options. Press the ‘‘Fast Select’’ button again to remove the pop up menu.
The operator can go directly to the alarms screen in order to verify what alarm has occurred.

The screen displays the value of the VFD speed of the exhaust fan, particular filters life remaining
(status) and alarms warning symbol. An off/on button to start/stop the operation of the system is also
displayed.
The first bar graph relates to the VFD speed.
The second bar graph relates to the DP (static pressure in inches of water column) for the pre filter.
The third bar graph relates to the DP for the bag filter.
The fourth bar graph corresponds to the DP for the final filter.
(The filter bar graph display shows percentage of life remaining in each filter. See the
Start Up Operating Instructions section for the specific static pressure range for each filter.)
Regular operation – Screen shows the current value of VFD speed.
All filters are at 100 % life remaining when new filters are installed, filters are all 100% clean, VFD
calibrated speed at certain percentage % (this relates to certain static pressure [“ WC] at main DP)
when filters are clean and last there are no alarms in the system.
To Determine Filter Life Remaining:
• Turn OFF Ecology Unit, wait 5 minutes. Turn ON Ecology Unit, wait 10 minutes, then
check the Filter Life.
• Ecology Unit checks Filter Life every time the unit is started. The system waits 10
minutes after start up for the exhaust fan speed to stabilize for an accurate reading,
then it checks and displays remaining Filter Life.
Touch screen operation
The size of the touch screen by default is 7‘‘.

2. Ecolo screen --- ecolo odor control screen
Ecolo odor control unit operation is enabled through the ecolo screen.
The three position selector switch (Off/ Cycle & Continuous) enables the operation of the
compressor.
Off - unit is not operational.
Cycle - unit runs in cycles (on and off).
Continuous - unit runs on all the time, until other command selected.
Numeric display ‘‘Ecolo ON time’’ sets the time in seconds for unit to be on.
Numeric display ‘‘Ecolo OFF time’’ sets the time in seconds for unit to be off.
Once these times are set, if selector switch is in cycle mode, unit will run for a preset time, when
this time has been elapsed, the operation of the compressor automatically stops and it will be off
for the preset time set in off mode. The status changes again to ‘‘on’’ state and goes in cycles as
previously described.
