SAFETY
1.1 GENERAL
Sullair Corporation and its subsidiaries design and
manufacture all of their products so they can be
operated safely. However, the responsibility for safe
operation rests with those who use and maintain
these products. The following safety precautions are
offered as a guide which, if conscientiously followed,
will minimize the possibility of accidents throughout
the useful life of this equipment.
The compressor should be operated only by those
who have been trained and delegated to do so, and
who have read and understood this Operator's
Manual. Failure to follow the instructions, procedures
and safety precautions in this manual may result in
accidents and injuries. NEVER start the compressor
unless it is safe to do so. DO NOT attempt to operate
the compressor with a known unsafe condition. Tag
the compressor and render it inoperative by
disconnecting and locking out all power at source or
otherwise disabling its prime mover so others who
may not know of the unsafe condition cannot attempt
to operate it until the condition is corrected.
Install, use and operate the compressor only in full
compliance with all pertinent OSHA regulations and/
or any applicable Federal, State, and Local codes,
standards and regulations. DO NOT modify the
compressor and/or controls in any way except with
written factory approval.

3.7 COMPRESSOR STATUS BAR
The Compressor Status Bar, which is located left of
the main window, displays real-time data regarding
the status of the compressor. The status bar is
constantly displayed whenever the WSPC software
is connected to the controller. This feature allows the
user to quickly view the status of the compressor
operation regardless of which display screen is
active. Information presented in the status bar
includes the compressor operating mode, operating
state, compressor temperature, sump pressure, and
discharge pressure. See Figure 3-9.
The Compressor Status Bar can be displayed as a
stand alone compressor operation monitor as shown
in Figure 3-10. The full display window can be hidden
leaving only the status bar information appearing on
the screen. This feature allows the user to continue
monitoring the compressor operation while
performing other tasks on the PC.
To reduce the display to show only the status bar:
1. Place the cursor on the right border of the
WSPC display window.
2. Press and hold the left mouse button.
3. “Drag” the display border to the left until it
stops. The compressor data window will be
hidden leaving the status bar in the display.
4. To return to the full screen presentation, click
on the expand window icon in the upper
right corner of the display.
5. To return again to the status bar only view,
click on the reduce window icon in the upper
right corner of the display.
