^ WARNING ^
Do not attempt to override the Separator Shutdown Warning.
This feature is provided to protect personnel from injury or death.
^ WARNING ^
Do not attempt to override the Final Separator Shutdown. This feature is provided to protect operating per-
sonnel from injury or death.
The high pressure-breathing compressor is equipped with a final separator. To prevent fatigue failure of
this vessel, the PLC program monitors the pressurization, de-pressurization cycles of the separator and will
issue a Warning, and then later an Alarm. The program is set up to provide a warning at 90% of the maxi-
mum recommended number of cycles. The program is configured to reflect these values when it is built.
When the warning is illuminated, the unit will still continue to function properly, but will prompt the operator
to contact Bauer Compressors for making arrangements to replace the separator. When the Alarm level has
been achieved, the compressor will no longer function, and will require the replacement of the separator.
Once this is accomplished, the unit can be re-activated by making adjustments to the PLC. Please contact
Bauer Product Support for detailed instructions
2.7.7 Seven Flashes - Condensate Fault
The compressor condensate level float switch is located in the condensate collection tank. Under normal
operating conditions, the switch is open and the I6 lamp on the PLC is off. On a high condensate level the
float switch will close, the compressor will shutdown, the PLC I6 lamp will illuminate, and the alarm code
will flash. The operator should drain the condensate from the tank and resume operation of the equipment.
^ NOTE ^
The compressor condensate contains some oil, and accordingly, should
be disposed of in accordance with state and local regulations.

^ CAUTION ^
This oil pump must be operated in the correct direction of rotation, other wise no oil pressure will
be built up and the compressor may be damaged.
(See Figure 3-3) The oil pump (1) is coupled to and driven by the crankshaft. It pumps oil from the crank-
case through an oil filter (2) and the oil pressure regulating valve (3) to the 4th stage cylinder. The oil is then
distributed by the guide piston of the 4th stage and lubricates all the moving parts of the compressor block.
The oil pressure sensor (5) allows mounting for an optional oil pressure gauge or electronic pressure monitor-
ing.

^ WARNING ^
Dynamic Loading
The rapid depressurizing and repressurizing of an intermediate separator during condensate draining sub-
jects it to metallurgical stresses. To prevent catastrophic failure with the possibility of damage, injury or
death the intermediate separator must be replaced after 85,000 load cycles. A load cycle equals one depres-
surization- repressurization. The BAUER recommended frequency of condensate draining is every fifteen
minutes and is a balance between maximizing the life of the separator chamber and maintaining the quality
of the delivered air.

5.2.3 Component Description
5.2.3.1 Oil and Water Separator
^ WARNING ^
The rapid depressurizing and repressurizing of the oil and water separator during condensate draining sub-
jects it to metallurgical stresses. To prevent catastrophic failure with the possibility of damage, injury or
death the oil and water separator (P/N 079416) must be replaced after a predetermined number of cycles.
One load cycle equals one pressurization plus one depressurization.
Units operating between 3,000 and 5,000 psi = 44,000 load cycles (11,000 hours of operation)
Units operating between 5,000 and 6,000 psi = 22,000 load cycles (5,500 hours of operation)
The BAUER recommended frequency of condensate draining is every fifteen minutes and is a balance
between maximizing the life of the separator chamber and maintaining the quality of the delivered air.
5.2.3.2 Chamber
Each chamber is made up of an anodized aluminum housing and a filtering cartridge. There are two gen-
eral types of filtering cartridges, drying or purifying. The cartridge type is determined by the ingredients
packed in the cartridge. The chamber is named after the type of cartridge it contains, i.e. dryer chamber or
purification chamber.
5.2.3.3 Cartridge Construction
The cartridge casing, top and bottom are aluminum and are packed with one or more of the following.
1. A catalyst to convert carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide.
Protective Cap
^ NOTE ^
After applying power it will take about second for the appropriate LED to illuminate.
During this time the status of the Securus Electronic Moisture Monitor System is tested.
5.2.4 Maintenance
5.2.4.1 Oil and Water Separator
To remove the sintered metal filter proceed as follows: (See Figure 5-11). Disconnect the power and shut
off the inlet supply line if applicable.
1. Depressurize the system by means of the bleed valve.
2. Remove the tubes connected to the side of the filter head (1).
3. Unscrew and remove the filter head.
4. Unscrew the sintered metal filter (2) from the filter head.
5. Remove the center screw (3) to remove the sintered metal filter.
6. Clean the sintered metal filter using hot soapy water. Blow dry with compressed air.
7. After cleaning the element, record the number of operating hours to ensure exact attention to the
maintenance intervals.

7. Remove the shipping covering and the protective cap from the bottom of the cartridge.
8. Lubricate the O-rings with white petroleum jelly. Apply sparingly.
9. Install the new cartridge. Be sure the cartridge snaps into place.
10. Reinstall the chamber head.
11. Close the bleed valve, restore the power and reconnect the inlet supply line, if applicable.
^ NOTE ^
If air is detected bleeding out from the bottom of the chamber, the cartridge has not been installed
properly or is missing. Follow the instructions in Paragraph 5.2.4.3.

^ WARNING ^
Always disconnect the electrical power before working on the motor
The Electrical Panel Assembly uses a micro Programmable Logic Controller, Motor Starter, transformer
and switches manufactured by Telemecanique. This controller model is called TWIDO. The control system
will provide logical control and safety shutdowns for the compressor equipment. All necessary time delays,
counters, shutdowns, sequencing and safety features are incorporated into a proprietary program permanently
saved into PLC memory using EEPROM technology. There are normally six PLC programs used in this
Electrical Panel Assembly, based on the pressure and use of the compressor. The program version used can
be identified by the white sticker on the face of the PLC. The panel is pre-wired and fused for the horsepower
and voltage of the compressor. The power source for the panel is selected at the time of order from the fol-
lowing options.
208 volt, 3 phase, 60 Hz supply 230 volt, 3 phase, 60 Hz supply
460 volt, 3 phase, 60 Hz supply 230 volt, 1 phase, 60 Hz supply
^ NOTE ^
Other configurations and options are also available by special order. Some components and programs
listed may be altered by these special orders.
The basic panel components consist of a 16 I/O PLC Controller, Motor Starter with Overload Relay,
Control Power Transformer with fuses, Alarm and Warning Lights, Compressor Control Switch, Hourmeter,
Emergency Stop Switch, Starter Reset, Audible Alarm, terminal strip for wire connections and wire harness.
To run the compressor, the Emergency Stop Switch must be pulled out and the Compressor Control
Switch must be in the ON position; at this point, the switch illuminates green and the compressor system is
ready and able to operate. If the pressure in the system drops to approximately 4500 psi1, the air pressure
switch will close, and the compressor will start. All other functions of the compressor are automatic. When
the air pressure has increased, and the pressure switch opens, then the compressor will shutdown. All of these
functions are accomplished through the use of a Programmable Logic Controller. When use of the equipment
is complete, the Compressor Control Switch should be placed in the Off position.
7.2 Options
This panel will electrically support all commonly available compressor options offered by Bauer Com-
pressors. These include:
The Securus Electronic Moisture Monitoring System to monitor the air, and provide first a warning,
and later an alarm, to prompt the operator to replace the high pressure purification cartridges.
The Carbon Monoxide Monitor is used to continuously sample the air that is compressed for use in
the system. Again, the unit will alarm and shut down the compressor if unsafe levels are detected. The
Carbon Monoxide Monitor also comes with a Calibration Kit to ensure accurate readings are being
taken.
The Condensate High Level Alarm will alarm and shutdown the compressor when the condensate
level becomes too high. This Alarm is activated by a float switch in the ACD Condensate Collection
Tank. This alarm prompts the operator to drain the condensate and prevents spilled condensate.
7.3 AC Power Requirements
The panel will need to be supplied with the appropriate voltage, phase, and frequency power to ensure
proper operation. Wiring and conduit selection must be in accordance with all national, state and local codes.
The customer is responsible for providing a disconnection means and protection from instantaneous short cir-
cuit.The pre-wired panel voltage and phase is written on a label (See Figure 7-2) on the inside of the electri-
cal panel door. In this example shown, the panel is wired for 230 volt, single phase. If a schematic for your
machine is not found inside the electrical panel, then please call Bauer Compressors Product Support Group
for a replacement. Please have the Serial number of the compressor available; it is written on the same label.
1. The pressure mentioned is only an example; the switch differential is approximately 10% of the set-point, and is not adjustable.

7.5 Warnings
Warning codes are flashed with a 0.5 second on / 0.5 second off sequence with the Amber light located
on the control panel. In addition the light will illuminate on initial start up for a period of 5 seconds, to serve
as a lamp test function. The lamp has a 22 mm base and a LED lamp for long trouble free life.
7.5.1 One Flash - Final Separator Warning
The high pressure-breathing compressor is equipped with a final separator. This is a stainless steel vessel,
approximately 3-3/4 inch diameter, located on the purification panel, beside the compressor. To prevent
fatigue failure of this vessel, the PLC program monitors the pressurization / de-pressurization cycles of this
separator and will issue a Warning, and then later an Alarm function.
The program is set up for a 90% warning and a 100% shutdown alarm for this counter feature. The pro-
gram would be configured to reflect the following values when it is built.
When the warning is illuminated, the unit will still continue to function properly, but will prompt the
operator to contact Bauer Compressors for making arrangements to replace the separator. When the Alarm
level has been achieved, the compressor will no longer function, and will require the replacement of the sep-
arator. When this is accomplished, the unit can be re-activated by making adjustments to the PLC. Please
contact Bauer Product Support for detailed instructions.
^ WARNING ^
Do not attempt to override this Separator Shutdown. This feature is provided to protect operating
personnel from injury or death.
The Warning relay is wired normally open. The relay is wired into a wire harness using the Black /
Orange and Violet / Orange color wires. Refer to unit schematic for additional information. Under normal
operating conditions, the relay is open and the I7 lamp on the PLC is off.

7.6.7 Seven Flashes - Condensate Fault
The compressor condensate level switch is located in the condensate collection tank, below the ACD,
Automatic Condensate Drain separator. The switch is N.O., Normally Open, and is connected to the PLC on
terminal I6. The switch is wired into a wire harness using the Grey and Pink color wires. Refer to unit sche-
matic for additional information. Under normal operating conditions, the switch is open and the I6 lamp on
the PLC is off. On a high condensate condition, the compressor will shutdown, the I6 lamp will illuminate,
and the alarm code will flash. The operator should drain the condensate from the tank and resume operation
of the equipment.
^ NOTE ^
The compressor condensate contains some oil, and accordingly, should be disposed of in accordance with
state and local regulations.

^ NOTE ^
Calibration is recommended every thirty days.
1. Before calibration, be sure that the test gas bottles in the calibration kit have an adequate amount of
gas in the them. Attach the fixed flow regulator to the gas bottle and then detach it. You should hear
a slight popping sound.
2. Turn on the compressor unit. The compressor itself does not have to run, because the test gas is
being substituted for the air supply from the compressor.
3. The compressor unit power needs to be applied to the unit for 15 minutes so the unit can stabilize.
If you attempt to calibrate before the end of this 15 minute period, TO SOON will appear on the
LCD Display.
4. Lift the cap of Inlet Regulator and turn counterclockwise until it stops. This will insure that the air
flow from the compressor unit is shut off.
5. If the gas flow from the compressor unit was not shut off, a message SUPPLY OFF will appear.If
this message appears, shut off the supply air and then begin the calibration process again.
6. Connect the Zero Gas bottle to the Fixed Flow Regulator and connect it to the Calibration Port of
the CO Monitor.
7. Turn the valve on the Fixed Flow Regulator counterclockwise until the CO Monitor Flow Indicator
shows between 0.5 and 0.8 SCFH.
8. Depress the ZERO CAL Set Switch on the front of the CO monitor with a paper clip for one to five
seconds. The Display should read ZERO CAL and will count down from 60 seconds. At the conclu-
sion, the display prompts, REMOVE ZERO GAS.
9. Turn the valve on the Fixed Flow Regulator clockwise until it is closed and disconnect it from the
Calibration Port.
10. Disconnect the Zero Gas bottle and connect the 20 ppm CO Test Gas 20 ppm CO to the fixed flow
regulator and connect it to the Calibration Port of the CO Monitor.
11. Turn the value on the Fixed Flow Regulator counterclockwise until the CO Monitor Flow Indicator
shows between 0.5 and 0.8 SCFH.
^ NOTE ^
If the compressor is started before the test gas dissipates, it could lead to incorrect CO level readings.
15. Turn the compressor on, adjust Inlet Regulator to 0.5-0.8 SCFH to restore normal operations.
8.4.2 Troubleshooting a Calibration Failure
If the unit fails to calibrate, it maybe due to low pressure in Test Gas Bottles, mixing up the Test Gas
Bottles during calibration or an aging CO Sensor Cell.
1. Ensure the Test Gas supply is adequate. See Paragraph 8.4.1 Step 1.
2. Reinitialize the CO Monitor by depressing the ZERO CAL Set Switch, for approximately 30 sec-
onds, until INITING displays in the LCD. This will allow for a greater percentage of compensation
for the gas.
3. If the Test Gas is good and the CO Monitor still refuses to calibrate, replace the CO Sensor Cell.
See Paragraph 8.4.3.
4. If it still doesnt calibrate, contact factory.
Figure 8-4 Basic Calibration Kit
^ CAUTION ^
Be sure the power is disconnected from the unit.
2. Remove the four corner screws and open the CO Monitor front cover.
3. Remove the screws that hold the CO Sensor Cell cover.
4. Remove the CO Sensor Cell from its socket by pulling it up from the circuit board. (See Figure 8-6)
5. Install a new CO Sensor Cell.
^ CAUTION ^
Be sure the shorting wire is removed from the new CO Sensor Cell.
6. Replace the CO Sensor Cell Cover, ensuring the longer screw is in its indicated hole.
7. Reassemble the CO Monitor and reconnect to power.
8. Let the new CO Sensor Cell warm-up for an hour before doing the initial calibration.
9. See Paragraph 8.4.1 for CO Monitor calibration procedures.
8.4.4 Calibration Initialization
The CO Monitor Calibration Initialization follows the same instructions as regular 30 day calibration
check (See Paragraph 8.4.1).
Calibration of the CO Monitor will need to be done if the 30 day calibration check is due or any mainte-
nance on the internal components of the CO Monitor and/or Remote Display was performed.

^ CAUTION ^
Except for the CO Sensor Cell, all internal CO monitor parts are to be serviced only by the manufacturer.
Do not adjust factory settings with the setup menu Mode Buttons unless absolutely necessary and by a
trained technician. The only reason to access the setup information is to test the alarm relay interface of
the control system which simulates the compressor going into an alarm state. The following describes
how to access the TEST MODE.
^ CAUTION ^
Except for testing the Display LCD, adjusting the parameters set at factory incorrectly could be dangerous.
Adjustment, if necessary, must be done by a trained technician.
^ NOTE ^
The Remote Display must not be installed more than 100 feet from the CO Monitor.
(See Figure 8-8) To calibrate the Remote Display, adjust the internal potentiometer with the compres-
sor system control switched on, so the CO Monitor will be energized. However do not have the com-
pressor running, because the air supply from the compressor is unnecessary for the Remote Display
setup.

^ WARNING ^
Be sure the lifting devices are capable of handling the weight of the unit (see Paragraph 1.4 for the weight
of the unit). Before lifting the unit, secure all loose or swinging parts to keep them from moving.
Stay clear of lifted load.
The compressor unit may be furnished with one or more shipping braces for shipping and handling only.
After installation and before operation, these braces must be removed entirely. Under no circumstances
should the braces remain installed during operation or the manufacturers warranty for the compressor unit
will be voided. The braces are all tagged and labeled.
^ CAUTION ^
The inclination values listed in Paragraph 1.4 are valid only if the oil level of the compressor is level with
but does not exceed the upper mark of the oil dipstick or oil level sight glass
Ensure that the compressor air intake is supplied with fresh air. The intake air must not contain any
exhaust fumes or flammable vapors such as paint solvents, which may cause an internal fire. Make sure that
the intake air is unobstructed and moisture in the intake air is kept to a minimum. It is important that units
draw in clean air. The quality of the incoming air determines the quality of the compressed air. This is impor-
tant even for industrial air, as any incoming fumes will also be compressed and will increase the toxicity to
anyone working with the compressed air.
If a remote control is provided, the unit must be equipped with a clearly visible plate warning the possi-
bility of the unit starting. As an additional measure, anyone starting the unit by remote control must make
sure that no one is checking or operating the unit. For this purpose, a second warning plate should be pro-
vided at the remote control unit.

In the above tables, all values are based on 1996 NEC articles 430 and 310 (NFPA 70). These values are
provided as a general guide; however, the information given on the motor nameplate supersedes the above
information.
1. Check all pipes, filters and valves (including safety valves) for leakage.
2. Tighten all couplings, as required.
3. After 10 minutes, open the outlet valve and operate the compressor at adjusted minimum pressure
using the pressure maintaining valve for approximately 5 minutes.
4. After the 5 minutes, shut the compressor unit down and completely drain all separators and filters.
Close all valves.
5. Remove filter heads and lubricate the threads with petroleum jelly.
1. Remove any dust cap or tape from the inlet port and install an intake filter cartridge.
2. Check the oil level of the compressor. If necessary, change the oil.
3. The motor must be thoroughly dry before applying power.
4. For units with a purification system, change all cartridges.
5. Run the compressor with open outlet valve for approximately 10 minutes. Check for proper opera-
tion of the lubricating system.
6. After 10 minutes, close the shut-off valve and run the system up to final pressure until the final
pressure safety valve vents. On compressor units with a compressor control system, raise the pres-
sure switch setting the switch above normal limits to override the pressure switch. Be sure to reset
the switch after checking.
7. Check the interstage safety valves for leakage.
8. Establish the cause of any faults and remedy.
9. Stop the unit when it is running properly. The compressor is then ready for operation.
