Section VIII - Power$ync II™ Operation
Cautionary and Shutdown Displays
The Power$ync II™ controller constantly monitors the operating conditions of the compressor. It has the most extensive monitoring and reporting capability of any compressor control on the market. LED indicators on a system schematic identify the location of the problem and the
If an inlet air filter element or a fluid filter element has an excessive differential pressure, a light on the schematic will indicate which element is in need of service and a message will be briefly displayed that describes the nature of the fault. The display will then revert to the original operating display and the LED will remain illuminated to draw attention to the condition. In this instance, one of the following message will be displayed:
NOTICE
THE AIR FILTER NEEDS SERVICING
PLEASE REPLACE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE CONTACT YOUR SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE
NOTICE
THE FLUID FILTER NEEDS SERVICING
PLEASE REPLACE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE CONTACT YOUR SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE
These maintenance warnings will not cause the compressor to shutdown. Proper filtration is key to the long service life of this compressor, however, and the dirty element should be changed as soon as possible. The fluid filter does not contain a bypass valve that might allow unfiltered fluid to bypass the element. Be aware that continued operation with a prolonged high differential pressure warning indication may lead to a
reduction in fluid flow to the gears and bearings. This reduction in flow may cause temperatures to rise, efficiencies to drop and reduced service life for the airend. Do not operate the compressor for extended periods of time with dirty and plugged filtration. Use only Genuine Quincy Compressor filter elements for replacement.
Conditions that would result in unsafe operation will cause the Power$ync II™ controller to shutdown the compressor or alert the operator to shut the unit down. The following messages will be displayed when the controller detects a problem that would result in an unsafe operating condition:
**********CAUTION**********
