Section VIII - Power$ync II™ Operation
The third consideration is the nature of air consumption within the system itself. A system that is subject to rapid, cyclic air consumption may require a wider differential than one that has a steady air requirement. As with the other considerations, improvements in energy efficiency can be obtained by adjusting the pressure settings to maintain the lowest acceptable steady pressure.
NOTE
Cycling more frequently than six times a minute may cause a high temperature condition that may result in a shutdown.
Power$ync II™ is factory set to operate efficiently for most compressed air systems. It has pressure limits based on its particular configuration. Use the factory setting for a while before making any changes. When making changes, document the change and the resulting system pressure and fluctuation. Documenting the changes and results will allow the compressor to be
Network Installation
Power$ync II™ compressors need to be wired together to form a network that will take advantage of the sophisticated multiple machine control capability built into the software. To do this, you will need the following:
1)A
2)One cable terminator box (Quincy part number 140715).
3)Conduit is required for NEMA 4 applications and strongly recommended for all other applications.
The maximum total cable length from the terminator box, through each compressor in the network and to the last compressor in line must be less than 600'.
Connecting Cable to the Power$ync II™ Circuit Board
The first machine in the network will have one cable coming out of the Power$ync II™ control enclosure. All other machines on the network will have one cable in and one cable out. The outbound cable on the last machine will be connected to the terminator box which must have access to a
1)On the first machine in the network, open the Power$ync II™ control panel by removing the five screws on the face. Tilt the hinged face down to expose the circuit boards and power supply inside.
2)Remove one of the hole plugs on the back of the control enclosure. Insert the end of the communications cable and bring it to the far right, lower corner of the enclosure. Make certain that there are a few inches of extra length at this point.
3)Remove 1.5" of the outer insulating cover. Carefully retract the braided wire shielding to expose the bare ground wire and the foil cover for the two insulated wires.
4)Remove excess braided wire shielding, being careful not to damage the ground wire.
