IMPORTANT (TECH.DOC. 930940077UK)
This compressor unit is a high-capacity machine. If not operated correctly it will be damaged and also
expose the personnel in the immediate vicinity of the machine or the electric wiring to hazards.
The Instruction Handbook shall be studied entirely prior to final installation, electric connection, and start-up. Especially, note the following sections.

Safety of Machinery:

See the handbook, § 0

Installation:

(See the handbook)

Direction of Rotation:

Note that even a minor period of operation in the wrong direction
of rotation will damage the bearings in gear and compressor.
(See the handbook)

Coupling:

Check of alignment before start.
(See the handbook)

Re-tightening:

After about 10 operating hours
the coupling bolts shall be re-tightened.
(See the handbook)

MACHINERY SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

PUTTING INTO
SERVICE

The compressor unit shall only be operated in compliance with the
operating conditions agreed upon, as indicated on the nameplate
and described in Technical Data.

LIFT

The weight of the compressor unit is stamped on the consignment.
Lifting is carried out according to Instruction Concerning Straps.

The compressor is started from the local panel.
START BY
MANUAL CONTROL See operation manual for Local Control Panel.

The compressor is stopped from the local panel.
STOP BY
MANUAL CONTROL See operation manual for Local Control Panel.

EMERGENCY
STOP

An emergency stop (EN418) is positioned on the front of the local
control panel. The emergency stop is not to be activated unless
hazardous situations threaten or have already occurred. The safety
monitor activates the emergency stop function when a control device
is activated by a malfunction. All functions will stop immediately. Under these circumstances the compressor will emit a lot of noise. The
emergency stop shall not be used as an ordinary stop function, as
repeated emergency stops may damage the compressor.

AUTOMATIC
START/STOP

Compressor units may be set in remote control.
See operation manual for Local Control Panel and Master Control
Panel in section 4 and 5 of the Operation Manual.
In this mode the compressor can start and stop without forewarning.
An ISO 7000-0017 symbol warns of remote control start/stop. In this
mode all guards must be correctly mounted and no persons allowed
in the immediate vicinity of the rotating machine parts.

MECHANICAL
HAZARD

Fixed guards acc. to EN294 & EN953 shall protect all rotating parts.
The guards are not to be removed unless the machine is safeguarded against unintentional start. Loose clothing is to be avoided
and it is advisable to keep a safe distance as long as the machine is
in the remote control mode.
Do not mount the compressor; the surface may be greasy and slippery.

INLET SYSTEM

The inlet system shall be correctly mounted before start of the compressor. Avoid blocking the inlet and staying near connected inlet
channels when the machine is ready to start.

Page 8/54

HOT SURFACES

A sign warning of hot surfaces has been placed directly on the machine. It is indicated by symbol EN1012-annex 3. Avoid touching the
hottest surfaces, which are normally more than 70°C.

NOISE HAZARD

Noise emission from the compressor unit is measured acc. to
ISO3744, normally without silencer hood. The measurements are
recorded in the noise certificate. See certificates.
At the entrance to the compressor room and/or silencer hoods an
ISO3864 warning sign is placed which illustrates the use of ear protection.

ELECTRICAL
HAZARD

Any contact with electrical high-/low-voltage installations is to be
avoided as long as the machine is connected to the power supply.
See EN60204-1. Check at regular intervals that all main components
of the machine are correctly grounded.

SPECIAL TOOLS

The compressor delivery includes a toolbox with special tools. The
tools shall only be used as described in the paragraph on assembly
and disassembly of the compressor.

MAINTENANCE &
REPAIRS

Repairs and maintenance work is only to be performed when all energy sources to the machine have been properly isolated/insulated.
The emergency stop shall be activated, the motor disconnected and
the terminals short-circuited. The danger of back flow from the pipe
system is safeguarded against by either closing and locking a valve
positioned immediately after the check valve or by placing a blind
flange upstream by the check valve.
Sign: "Warning: Maintenance work in progress".

NOTIFY!

In case SIEMENS deliver consignments that are neither assembled
nor serviceable machine units, e.g. compressor units without drive
motor and/or control systems, the following will apply:
"The compressor unit is comprehended by Machine Directive
89/392/EEC and appurtenant amendment directives, and shall not
be put into service until the entire unit, of which it is a part, complies
with the said Directive and appurtenant normative standards.

SHIPPING - STORAGE - INSTALLATION

1.1

SHIPPING

Page 9/54

On receipt of the compressor unit, check that the individual parts correspond with those
listed on the delivery note.
When unloading, check immediately for possible damage of the compressor unit that may
have happened during shipment, such as damaged dents, scratches, corrosion, torn electric
cables, bent pipes, or the like. In case of defects or damage, the carrier and supplier shall
be informed immediately.
The aggregate shall only be lifted with straps fastened to the 4 lifting hooks mounted on the
base. In order to avoid squeezing of instruments, piping, etc., use a lifting yoke.
Weight of compressor aggregate: See section 2.
Use of straps: See fig. below.

1.2

STORAGE
Prior to leaving SIEMENS, the compressor aggregate has been submitted to a test run.
After the test the lubricating oil has been drained off, preservative oil applied and pumped
through the lubricating oil system, and all excess preservative oil drained off. All untreated
parts of the aggregate, which are likely to corrode, have been treated with a corrosionpreventing agent.

Created on 16-02-2009 at 16:00:35, LF
01-Operation_KA5S-GK200.doc

HANDBOOK FOR
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

COMPRESSOR KA5S-GK200

Page 10/54

This ensures that the compressor aggregate is protected against corrosion for a minimum of
6 months, provided that it is stored indoors. It is not necessary to remove the corrosionpreventing agent before starting up the aggregate, as the preventive agent does not affect
the lubricating oil.
If the compressor is stored for more than 6 months, it shall be treated with a long-term
preventive agent. A corrosion-preventing agent used for long-term storage will have to be
removed before start-up. This is done by disassembling and cleaning all the compressor
parts. In this case only SIEMENS service engineers shall prepare the compressors for
operation. The preparation shall be carried out in a dry and clean environment.
Do not use the compressor unit or parts of it as scaffolding. For further information, require
technical information 930920009UK.

1.3

INSTALLATION
It is possible to mount / install the compressor prior to removing a long-term corrosion
protection. The compressor can be mounted on any level floor that can carry the weight. A
special vibration damping concrete foundation is only used in exceptional cases.

The compressor shall be mounted on
vibration damping machine mounts, the
underside of which can be glued directly to
the concrete floor (see mounting
instructions) or the machine mounts can
be screwed or welded to its base,
depending on the floor construction. In
case of uneven floor construction insert
shims in order that the machine mounts
get in touch with the floor (see fig.).

Important! Before the compressor aggregate is fastened to the floor, check its position to
make sure that flanges (and possibly other pipe connections) are placed correctly with a
view to the final pipe installation. Do not uncover the flanges until the pipe system is ready
for installation. This prevents foreign substance from entering the compressor. All pipe
systems shall be cleaned and inspected before they are connected to the aggregate.
If the drive motor shaft has been securely fastened for shipping, this fastening shall be
removed and the dismounted coupling remounted.

1.3.1

PIPE CONNECTIONS/PERMISSIBLE LOADS
It is essential that there is a flexible connection in the following places:
- between compressor discharge and cone diffuser
- between compressor inlet and air inlet duct.
Permissible loads: See Technical Information 930910007.UK.

ALLOWABLE LOAD ON COMPRESSOR DISCHARGE FLANGE
930910007UK

Reactions of piping systems connected to turbocompressors, if of sufficient magnitude, will result in
misalignment of the compressor sufficient to cause rough operation and in worst case serious
mechanical damage.
The external load comes from thermal expansion, pressure loads the weight of the pipe system, and is
mainly transmitted to the compressor through the expansion joint, attached on the discharge flange.
If the external loads on the compressor are limited to the figures in the table below, the loads should
not influence the compressor operation.

The pipe system must be supported thus minimizing the external loads.
The allowable loads, alignment tolerances etc. of the flexible joint positioned at the discharge flange,
must be carefully considered, when designing the pipe system.
The external loads on the compressor are transmitted through the base to the machinery supports and
must be included when sizing the supports.
For further information, see the standards NEMA SM23-1985, section 9.4 and API 672, section 2.2.3
and 2.3.4.

The SIEMENS compressor is a single-stage centrifugal compressor.
The passage of the medium through the compressor:
The medium is led through the inlet and past the inlet guide vanes to the impeller, which
speeds up the medium. From the impeller the medium is led through the diffuser (variable),
where most of the speed energy is changed into pressure, to the volute casing where it is
collected, and from there out into the cone diffuser where the speed is reduced before it is
led into the discharge system.

Page 23/54

COMPRESSOR CASINGS
The compressor casings, consisting of outer/inner volute casing and inlet are manufactured
from cast items that have been heat-treated, cleaned, and then machined. The casings
have been assembled vertically, in order to facilitate handling of the individual casings when
mounting or dismounting the compressor.

The impeller has been milled out in one forged, solid piece, ensuring great strength and
accuracy. The blades have been formed so as to ensure optimal control of the compressor
as well as an optimal and stable current flow. The outer contour and diameter of the
impeller have been specially adapted to the operating conditions defined in the order
specification.
The overhung design with the impeller positioned at the end of the pinion shaft secures an
operation well above first critical speed and well below second critical speed.
The impeller rotor can be removed from the unit by disassembling the impeller from the
pinion shaft. Note that the impeller is positioned on the outlet shaft by means of a screw.
Dismounting of the rotor: See section 12.
By means of hydraulic tools the impeller, the rotor shaft rod, and the rotor drive are held
together with the rotor and the central screw. The complete unit (rotor) has been balanced
dynamically.

SEALINGS
Consisting of:
- Labyrinth sealing
- Oil sealing ring

H303
T220

Air and oil shaft seals, made of aluminium, are non-contact types and designed to prevent
air and oil leakage, thus avoiding contaminating the air with oil. This type of sealing does
not get worn due to the clearance between the pointed sealings and the shaft. However, a
minor running-in wear may occur. The sealing prevents oil from entering into the
compressor. The chambers of the sealing ring are fitted with drains, through which the oil is
led back into the gear housing.

3.2.4

DIFFUSER SYSTEM
The compressor is equipped with one regulating system, a diffuser system. It can be
regulated continuously within the range of two limit switches. Even a small change of the
system setting will influence the ability of the compressor to make pressure and volume
flow, and consequently the power consumption of the compressor will be affected.
SIEMENS has developed a procedure, implemented in a process computer, to regulate the
diffuser system to an optimum, based on measurements of:
- inlet temperature
- differential pressure across compressor
- volume flow demand

Page 25/54

Any change of the system setting will cause increased power consumption or, at worst, that
the compressor starts to surge, which will release an emergency stop. If the system has
been disassembled, it must be assembled and adjusted exactly as it was before the disassembling.

The diffuser system consists of a number of adjustable vanes (optimized vanes) placed
radially around the periphery of the impeller. An electric linear motor regulates the diffuser
blades. A scale is mounted on the mounting plate for indication of the position of the blades.
Two limit switches have been installed, which - when activated - will signal the respective
MAX. and MIN. positions of the diffuser blades to the control panel.
The linear motor is controlled by the local control panel.

The SIEMENS GK200 gearbox is a single-stage, helical gear, where the pinion shaft is
placed above the drive shaft. The pinion shaft is supported by bearings on both sides of the
gearwheel. The gear ratio has been adapted to the operating conditions as specified in the
order.
The gearbox is vertically split for easy access to the shafts, bearings, and sealings.

3.3.1

GEAR CASING
The gear casing, consisting of part A and B, is manufactured from cast elements which
have been heat-treated, cleaned, and then machined.

3.3.2

SHAFTS - GEARWHEELS
Shafts and gearwheels have been carburized and ground with great accuracy, to allow for
the high speed and resulting stress on the teeth. A moderate backlash allows for oil film,
deformations, etc.
The gearwheel on the drive shaft has been shrunk on. The gearwheel on the pinion shaft
has been machined in one piece with the shaft.

3.3.3

BEARINGS
The pinion shaft is supported by angular contact ball bearings. Double bearings are used in
the compressor end, while single bearings are used in the motor end. The bearings are
pressure lubricated and cooled by an oil flow on the exterior bearing housing. The inlet shaft
is supported by deep groove ball bearings.

3.3.4

OIL SEALING
The sealing is a non-contact, labyrinth type sealing, which does not get worn due to the
clearance between the pointed sealings and the shaft. However, a minor running-in wear
may occur.
This sealing ensures that oil is not leaking from the gear.
Drains in the sealing chambers lead oil back into the gear casing.

3.4

BASE
The base is a welded box-like construction manufactured with frame of steel profiles and
steel plate. It serves additionally as base for all safety equipment and the local panel.

3.5

CONE DIFFUSER
The cone diffuser is manufactured from steel plate milled into shape and welded together.
The two flanges are likewise welded on.
The cone diffuser is mounted on the discharge side, thereby transforming the last part of
the air velocity into pressure, thus reducing the air velocity.

Page 28/54

BLOW-OFF VALVE
The blow-off valve is a butterfly valve with electric or pneumatic actuator and end stops.
The blow-off valve is mounted between two flanges. The blow-off valve functions as a
pressure relief valve during start/stop to avoid surging. (For tech. data, see § 2).

3.7

CHECK VALVE
The check valve is a spring-loaded butterfly valve (dual plate) built in between two flanges.
The check valve prevents the compressed air from passing backwards, thereby keeping the
compressor from running backwards when not in operation. (For technical data, see § 2).

3.8

COUPLING/DRIVE MOTOR/GEARBOX
The coupling between drive motor and gear is a flexible disc type coupling which is flexible
in both radial and axial direction and at the same time able to withstand excessive torsional
stress. To ensure optimal operating conditions the coupling shall be aligned as described in
§ 12.

INLET SYSTEM
See enclosed drawing no. 9330057240.0, Inlet Silencer.
The inlet system consists of inlet silencer, filter, front grid or extension piece fastened
together into a unit. The inlet silencer is fitted with height adjustable feet, approx. ± 20mm
from nominal centre height.
Mounting
The height of the inlet silencer stud is adjusted in relation to the compressor stud, and the
inlet silencer is positioned so that the air conduit between the studs is 3 - 7 mm. If the air
conduit between the studs is 10 mm or more, the compressor may be damaged.
The holes in the base plate are then marked out on the floor, the silencer is removed, and
the holes are bored, after which the nylon dowels supplied are placed in the holes, and the
silencer put back and fastened with the supplied screws.
The air conduit between the studs of the inlet silencer and the compressor is checked and
taped with the special tape supplied, after which it is covered with lead rubber and tightened
together with the flexible connection supplied.
The U-pipe manometer, which registers pressure drops, is filled up with liquid from the flask
supplied.
Maintenance
Pressure drops must not exceed 100 mmWC, because a too high negative pressure may
cause the intake silencer plates to collapse. The filters are replaced when the pressure drop
during start is observed to have increased by 20 mmWC.

Suction from the compressor room: Dismount the front grid and the filter locks and take out
the filters. Vacuum clean the inside with a soft brush
mouthpiece. Insert new filters.
Suction from the air duct:

DRIVE MOTOR
See enclosed technical document “Electric Motors Compressors KA2 - KA100 General
Requirements”.
For motor specifications etc. see manufacturer’s instructions.

General remarks to monitoring and maintenance of electric motors.
Immediately after the first start-up of the compressor, it is necessary to make the first lubrication of the electric motor on site.
The type of grease must always be identical to the type which was used from the factory.
It must be avoided to mix two different types of grease that might contain different additives not being able to be integrated. This might result in poor lubrication quality and
damage to the bearings.
After the first lubrication on site, it is necessary to lubricate according to intervals' indicated on the manufacturer’s plate at the motor. Greasing is done only with the motor running. Keep record of all the greasings in the list of lubrication.
After the startup, it is necessary to control the motor once per week. To check that the
sound and the temperature are correct and that there are not false vibrations. This might
be done by using a large screwdriver to listen at the bearings by putting the end against
the bearing cover and the wrist against the ear.
If the compressor unit is not in operation for a rather long period, the compressor should
remain oil-filled. Start the oil pump for some minutes and turn the compressor and the
electric motor a few turns manually once per week.
Engine IP23 passes the cooling air between the stator and the rotor. That is why the
room in which the compressor / electric motor are placed will have to be completely
clean. In general all the motors and compressors will have to be held in a state of cleanliness. If the interior of a motor is more or less filled with dirt, a short-circuit will be able to
occur. The cooling air must be dry.
It is always necessary to monitor the temperature as well as the absorptive current.
After a long period of stop it is necessary to make sure, by the means of a measuring instrument that the electric insulation is intact, and no false currents can escape through
the bearings, in order not to start a wet motor.
If the motor has remained inactive for a long time, without to be turned regularly, it could
be necessary to change the bearings. That is detected by touching the motor while listening to the bearings. Permanent monitoring is necessary.
Any repair or any disassembling of the engine requires control of the alignment of the
coupling and, if necessary, a corrective alignment.

6. LUBRICATING OIL SYSTEM
6 1 Design and Function
The lubricating oil system provides oil for all bearings in the gear and for the gear meshing.
The lubricating oil system has been designed as shown on the P & I diagram and the aggregate
drawing.
In the technical specification, the P & I diagram and the aggregate drawing (section 2, 7.2,
and 12 respectively), control of the oil/cooling system is shown as well as the function and
location of sensors, thermometers, manometers, thermostats, and pressostats.
The lubricating oil system is equipped with one oil pump which can deliver the quantity of oil required.
The oil reservoir may be equipped with electric oil heaters to heat the oil after a period of stand-still,
i.e. when the temperature has fallen below the 10°C necessary during startup
The oil is pumped via oil cooler and oil filter to the lubricating points.
The oil cooler may be either air-cooled or water-cooled.
When cooling by air the cooler shall not be placed in such a way that the warm air blows towards the
LC-panel or other electric installations.
When cooling by water the regulating valve shall be mounted on the inlet pipe to ensure that the water
pressure is always kept lower than the oil pressure; thereby preventing water from penetrating to
the oil. The inlet pipe shall be connected to the lowest pipe connection to keep air out of the system.
The aggregate is equipped with 1 pressure switch (pressostat:).
The pressostat E107 gives signal to stop the compressor. If - due to power failure or damage (oil leakages)
to the lubricating system - the pressure falls below approx. 1 bar excess pressure, the compressor
will be stopped via the pressostat and the electric control system, and also if the oil pressure has not been
established within 30 seconds from start-up.
The aggregate is equipped with thermostats for oil temperature:
The thermostat E104 gives signal to stop the compressor if the oil temperature gets too high.
The thermostat E138 gives signal to start and stop the oil cooler fan.
For lubricating oil pressure and temperature, see § 2.
The lubricating oil system has been cleaned in advance by SIEMENS. Therefore, be extra careful
when dismounting, etc., in order to avoid contamination of the oil system.
6.2 Oil filling
Fill oil pipe S215, on top of oil cooler, and oil filter S303 with oil before first start-up and at each oil
change.
Check the oil level in the level glass E130, see the unit (aggregate) drawing.
6.3 Oil types
The compressor must only operate with synthetic oil types, which are approved by SIEMENS
(see § 2 “Technical Specifications”). Different types of oil must not be mixed, i.e. if the oil type
is changed all oil must be changed. Oil from tanks, which have been opened for some time,
must not be used, as particles from the atmosphere will be absorbed in the oil.
Accessories:
The lube oil pump is integrated in the gear, see §12.
Lube oil filter and cooler: See section Accessories
Lube oil heater : not included.

CONTROL AND MONITORING SYSTEMS

7.1

DESIGN AND FUNCTION

Page 36/54

The control and monitoring systems shall ensure correct operating conditions at start and
stop of the compressor as well as during operation.
The control system runs the start and stop functions, the compressor operation, the lubricating oil system, and the activation of the blow-off valve, the diffuser and/or the pre- rotation.
The monitoring system consists of minimum 5 current circuits connected to pressostats,
thermostats, and sensors. The current circuits are part of a safety chain which stops the
compressor immediately on indication of error.
Important: The design of the local control panel and all its electric functions are described
in the separate “Operation Manual for the Local Control Panel”.

7.1.1

START AND STOP FUNCTIONS
START AND OPERATION
The start function ensures that the compressor only starts if it has been correctly prepared.
The conditions for a correct start are as follows:
-

no alarms or emergency stops activated
blow-off valve open
diffuser and/or prerotation in MIN position.

The start sequence may now be activated as follows:
Compressors with gear:
- GK2, GK4 and GK200:

Start of compressor at once while feed back signal is awaited
from motor starter.

If the unit is equipped with SIEMENS electric control system “LC-”, Local Control panel, the
panel controls the daily operation and monitoring.
The following conditions of start and operation will be observed by the logic system of the
local control panel:
1.

When the START button is activated the automatics will open the blow-off valve and set
the diffuser in MIN position. At the same time the instruments of the safety chain are
checked, and if they are in order the drive motor of the compressor will start.

2.

When the compressor has been started the blow-off valve will close.

3.

During operation the diffuser will be adjusted continuously corresponding to the operational conditions.

4.

In case of errors, as too high oil temperature, too low oil level, too high counter pressure
in the outlet pipe etc., the compressor is stopped.

5.

When the error has been located and corrected the monitoring system has to be reset.

COMPRESSOR KA5S-GK200

Page 37/54

STOP
The stop function ensures that the compressor stops under controlled conditions:
NORMAL STOP
1. Diffuser moves to MIN position.
2. As soon as the diffuser is in MIN position, the blow-off valve opens quickly.
3. When the blow-off valve is open, the compressor motor stops (however, max. 100 seconds after "Normal Stop" has been activated).
ALARM STOP (NOT OIL PRESSURE)
1. Blow-off valve opens quickly (max. 8 seconds after "Alarm Stop" has been activated).
2. Compressor stops.
3. Diffuser and prerotation move to MIN position.
EMERGENCY STOP (ONLY EMERGENCY AND OIL PRESSURE)
The compressor stops at once, while the blow-off valve, the diffuser and/or the prerotation
open simultaneously and move to MIN position.
For KA2-GK2, KA4-GK4 and KA5-GK200 please note:
After each stop the compressor cannot be restarted for 1 minute.

7.1.2

CONTROLLING THE LUBRICATING OIL SYSTEM
COMPRESSORS WITH MECHANICAL OIL PUMP
Compressors with gear GK200 only have a mechanical oil pump. The pump starts directly
and the control records the oil pressure during operation. If the oil pressure is insufficient,
the control stops the compressor.

7.1.3

ACTUATION OF BLOW-OFF VALVE, DIFFUSER AND/OR PREROTATION
The monitoring system ensures that the blow-off valve, the diffuser and/or the prerotation
are controlled within the range of the respective end stop switches.

7.1.4

SAFETY CHAIN (CLOSED-CIRCUIT PROOF)
The Safety Chain consists of minimum 5 current circuits:
-

oil level and/or oil pressure
oil temperature
surging
recirculation
motor temperature (motor windings)

If an error occurs in one of the current circuits, the Safety Chain ensures that the compressor is stopped at once.

7.3

COMPRESSOR KA5S-GK200

Page 40/54

COMPRESSOR INSTABILITY (SURGE)
Surge (Stalling) and recirculation are both situations which arise in connection with operational errors or errors in the automatic control system or the controlled functions. In both
cases the compressor will run an unstable operating range and must be stopped at once.

7.3.1

SURGE
Pressure air expands jerkily through the operating compressor. Usually stalling is caused by
operating at too high differential pressure. Stalling may also arise if the inlet temperature is
much higher than the maximum design temperature. At increasing inlet temperature the
max. achievable discharge pressure of the compressor will drop.
Stalling reveals itself through audible pressure blows the frequency and strength of which
are determined by among others the resonant conditions of the connected piping system on
the pressure side. Strong pressure blows mean heavy load on the mechanical parts of the
compressor, and therefore the compressor must be stopped. (see the manual for the local
control panel).
Operating under these conditions will expose the mechanical parts of the compressor to
heavy loads and should, therefore, be avoided.
If the compressor is operating within the unstable range, the SUC-switch (SU = Surge, C =
Control) will activate the alarm and stop the compressor immediately.
The following malfunction may cause surge:
1. Too high header pressure
2. Too high inlet temperature
3. Decrease in compressor RPM as well as mechanical errors, etc.

7.3.2

RECIRCULATION
The medium recirculates through the compressor, whereby a large amount of energy is added to a small amount of medium (the medium heats up).
The following malfunctions may cause recirculation when:
1. The diffusor/prerotation is closed completely (MIN.-setting of the limit switches has been
moved)
2. The discharge from the blow-off valve is led back to the inlet duct, causing the medium
to recirculate for a long time
Operating with recirculation must be avoided, as it may cause damage through overheating,
and - at worst - fire in the compressor.
If the compressor is operating for a long time with recirculation, a thermostat with sensor in
the compressor inlet will activate the alarm signal and stop the compressor immediately.

free.
The oil system is then flushed out for at least ½ hour with the oil temperature above
10°C and the oil pressure at 1,5 – 3,0 bar.
Turn the compressor manually, very carefully, one entire revolution in reverse. (This is
easily done by means of the coupling between drive motor and gear).
Then flush further for at least ½ hour.
Check oil filter insert. Replace if necessary.
3. Check the compressor suction system, silencer(s), compensators and air filters (internal/external) for correct mounting and cleanliness.

Important!

Check especially the area in front of the impeller, the inlet, and the inlet
pipe. Check the flexible connection between the inlet pipe and inlet filter/inlet duct for correct mounting.

4. Check diffuser cone, blow-off valve and non-return check valve on pressure side of compressor for correct mounting. The check valve must be mounted with vertical shaft. An
arrow indicates the sense of direction of the air.
5. Check the non-return check valve for correct function and control. Check the limit switch

8. Check the acoustic enclosure fan for correct function and check the sense of rotation.
(If installed)

9.2

SIMULATED TEST RUN OF COMPRESSOR
In order to check start/stop sequence and cable connections a simulated test run is performed. It may be performed with dismounted coupling lamellas on the motor-end.
When simulating operation the safety monitoring equipment (pressostats and thermostats)
shall be tested with satisfactory result. (For pressure and temperature see § 2).


Turn compressor manually to check that rotation is smooth. This is most easily done at
the coupling between drive motor and gear.



Start up compressor (motor) briefly, max. 2-3 seconds, to check direction of rotation.
If direction of rotation is wrong, repole motor.
IMPORTANT!

Wrong direction of rotation of the gear for more than a few seconds may
cause permanent damage to gear bearings and journals.

Note: Do not restart more than 4 times per hour. Repeated starts within 15 minutes will
block the drive motor for restart for one hour (to protect motor coils).
Check that mounting of the coupling and tightening of the screws is correct (see § 12).
Check the coupling alignment before start-up (see § 12).

9.3

TEST RUN OF COMPRESSOR
During test run the following shall be checked and/or adjusted:


Opening and closing of blow-off valve. Normally the blow-off valve will indicate "closed"
max. 180 sec. after start-up (depending on valve type and site conditions).



Function of recirculation-valve.



Build-up of air pressure in pressure pipe.



Lubricating oil pressure and temperature shall be stable.
Lubricating oil pressure and temperature during operation (see § 2).
Function of mechanical oil pump



Lubricating oil cooler adjusted.
When air-cooled, the thermostat is adjusted for start and stop of fan motor.
Lubricating oil temperature during operation.



Test diffuser adjustment manually.



Test safety monitoring, oil level switch and emergency stop during operation.



Test normal start and stop sequence.



Motor overload protection (diffuser limitation).



Check for oil leaks at operating temperature.



Check of cable connections from compressor control panel to master control panel.

Check of output signal from pressure and oxygen transmitter.

START
5 seconds approx. after start-up the valve between the compressor and the manifold is
opened. The blow-off valve is closed.
At plants equipped with non-return valve between compressor and manifold: Close the blowoff valve approx. 5 seconds after start.
The compressor can now be set for max airflow, during which the counter pressure and the
power consumption of the motor are surveyed. At low counter pressure the airflow may increase considerably and the motor will be overloaded (see performance certificate).
The compressor electric control system (Local Control Panel) will monitor all necessary
functions before and after start, when the start order is given by pressing the respective
button. In case of errors or if the starting conditions are not fulfilled the local control panel
will indicate “ERROR” (see “Manual for Electric Control System”).

GENERAL
When the compressor has been put into operation, the starting priority of the machines
shall be changed periodically by the machine operator in order that all compressors of an
installation are frequently in operation and over a period will have an equal number of operation hours.
On plants where the diffuser system is not frequently run from fully open to fully closed, due
to special operating conditions, the local panel shall be set on "Manual" at least once a
week, and the diffuser run from fully closed to fully open at least twice. This also applies to
compressors which are not in operation.
If the compressors have not been in operation for a month, the following procedure shall be
followed, to avoid that the ball bearings are damaged by standstill in the same position:
Rotate the compressor for about a minute in the normal direction of operation. This can
most easily be done by turning the coupling between drive motor and gear by hand.

NOTE AFTER START-UP
1. The screws of the coupling shall be checked after approx. 10 hours of operation.
2. Operation with electric motor: Grease lubricated bearings must be lubricated according
to the prescriptions in the supplier's manual or acc. to indications on the name plate of
the motor. The first lubrication is to take place immediately after start-up (always with a
warm compressor). The lubrications are to be continued at stated intervals. A scheme of
lubrication intervals should be established.
3. Lube oil quality must be checked according to prescriptions (See section 11)
4. Check for possible oil leaks. Retighten pipe joints if needed.

MAINTENANCE
INTRODUCTION
The SIEMENS compressor is designed to operate for many thousand hours with a minimum of
maintenance.
Control and cleaning is most important. Some vital parts of the compressor and gear require
dismounting. Instructions of such dismounting and remounting are given below. Follow these
instructions carefully, and if any doubt please contact SIEMENS for assistance.
The SIEMENS compressor is built with very fine tolerances and operates at very high speeds.
Therefore, be very careful during maintenance works. Use the correct tools only and avoid any
kind of bumps and blows on the compressor parts.
Observe proper cleanliness.
Do not use cotton waste for cleaning or drying as it may contain unobserved particles of dirt or
metal.

11.1

SERVICE INTERVALS GEARBOX / COMPRESSOR
Below is a table of the service intervals recommended by SIEMENS, with references to the
various §s giving a more detailed description of what is to be done.
Local conditions may cause deviations from the norm. Therefore, read each § carefully with a
view to local conditions before the service intervals are laid down. This applies especially to the
parts in touch with the medium. The frequency with which these parts shall be cleaned may
vary to some extent, and the service instructions shall be progressively evaluated.
SIEMENS's standard instructions are as follows:

DISMOUNTING / REMOUNTING

COUPLING ALIGNMENT FLENDER ARPEX TYPE

1.

The following directions are only applicable when aligning couplings on standard, single-stage
turbocompressor units operated by an asynchronous motor with anti-friction bearings. The coupling must be of the Flender Arpex type, but not necessarily a Flender product. The alignment requirements apply only to couplings with standard "spacer lengths" mounted between motor and
gear, hence they are not to be used when aligning "fast running" couplings mounted between
gear and compressor.

2.

The alignment requirements, as indicated in Table 1, correspond to approx. 25% of the max.
allowable deviations specified by the suppliers of couplings, and have thus been approved by
suppliers of couplings and drive motors to SIEMENS.
Improved alignment requirements ensure that vibrations caused by errors of alignment will not be
affecting the overall vibration level.

3.

The couplings are aligned during mounting of the unit in SIEMENS's workshop. The alignment is
safeguarded against changes during transport/erection, due to the fact that the bases are very
stiff. The coupling alignment must always be checked prior to starting up the compressor.

4.

The procedure stated in the following points describes alignment with application of a dial gauge.
Alternatively laser equipment can be used for the same purpose.

5.

Having shrunk one of the coupling halves onto the drive shaft, the compressor/gear unit is
mounted on its base. Two guide rods are then placed in the gear support. Now place the electric
motor - with the other coupling half mounted - on the four supports with four 10 mm shims between motor and base. Make sure that the motor is resting on all four points of support; this prevents it from being twisted during the tightening. If more than 0,05 mm of shims is needed under
any one of the supports, place a suitable number of 'thin' shims under the support until the motor
is resting evenly on all points of support.
Make sure that measure S is maintained while positioning the motor; see Table 1 and figure 1.
On GA, GB, GC, GL, and GK2/B3 the drive shafts of gear and motor shall be pulled towards one
another while measuring S. While bearing in mind the possibility of heat expansion make sure
that the tolerance of S is a +tolerance in order to minimize the load on the thrust bearing of the
gear. In other words, the gear shaft and the drive shaft shall be pulled towards one another.
On GK190 and GK200 the shaft of the motor shall be pulled towards the gear, while the drive
shaft of the gear shall be pressed away from the motor when measuring S. While bearing in mind
the possibility of heat expansion, make sure that the tolerance of S is a +tolerance.

COMPRESSOR KA5S-GK200

Page 8/50

As indicated in figures 2 and 3, the angular and parallel misalignments are measured with a dial
gauge, which is bolted to the coupling shaft and measures on the motor shaft (see fig. 2 & 3).
Do not use a dial gauge with magnet foot. The rest of the measuring setting-up should also be as
inflexible as possible to avoid measuring faults caused by deflexion.
When measuring, make sure that the two coupling halves are rotating synchronously, e.g. by
using a trailing rod.
When the coupling is rotated one full revolution, the measuring dial must not go beyond the tolerances set for parallel and angular misalignments, as indicated in Table 1.
The alignment is carried out partly by adjusting the thickness of the shims, partly by adjusting the
motor position on the base.
The parallel misalignment should be suppressed, partly because a major display will entail an
important deviation of the radial misalignment, partly to adjust for unevenness between the two
plate packs.
As already stated (point 4), the motor is not to be tightened definitively until it is resting evenly on
all four supports. If necessary, use thin shims under one of the supports.
When measuring the angular and parallel misalignments, it is a good idea to mount a spring between the flange on which the dial gauge is fixed and the flange too measured on. In this way the
axial position of motor shaft and gear shaft is maintained.

7.

The coupling bolts are tightened by means of a torque wrench or by measuring the elongation of
the bolts. When mounting and tightening, follow the instructions of the supplier.
In general, couplings of the Flender Arpex, Mönninghoff Arcoflex, and Thomas Rexnord SR52
types are used. The mounting instructions for these makes are different. See instructions on
page 5 - 8. For all types the thread of the bolts must be greased. Do not use Molykote or similar
instead of oil for the greasing. When tightening the bolts, the bolt head must be fixed while the nut
is turned.
If other types of couplings than the three ones above are mounted, the mounting instructions for
the coupling make in question must be required.

General Information

This section provides basic information about the use of the compressor HMI from STE. Describing among others basic screen design, screen navigation, language selection, password
protection, and the message system.
4.1
Basic Screen Design
All the HMI screens are basically divided in three areas (Figure 4-1) the fixed area, the basic
area, and the navigation area.

Figure 4-1

Fixed Area:
The fixed area is used to provide general information about the compressor status and the
operation mode currently selected. The fixed area (Figure 4-2) is the same for all HMI
screens.
Basic Area:
The basic area is different for all HMI screens. Depending on the screen currently selected
the basic area provides access to process values, settings, start/stop pushbuttons, language
selection and links to other screens (Figure 4-2).

Figure 4-2

Revision: 2.01

Navigation Area:
The navigation area holds the pushbuttons used to navigate between the HMI screens in the
screen hierarchy. The number of pushbuttons in the navigation area depends on the position
of the current screen in the screen hierarchy.
The functions of the individual navigation pushbuttons are described in section 4.2.
4.2
Screen Navigation
The HMI screens are all arranged in a screen hierarchy that lay down how the individual
screens are linked together. Each HMI screen has a unique number according to its position
in the screen hierarchy. The screen number is shown in the lower right corner on every
screen. The screen numbering system is shown in Figure 4-3.

Figure 4-3

The pushbuttons in the navigation area of the HMI screens are used to move/navigate around
in the screen hierarchy. The functions of the individual navigation pushbuttons are described
in Figure 4-4.

Figure 4-4

For details about screen navigation please refer to the appendix in section 11.1.

4.3
Language Selection
The STE HMI provides the possibility to let the user switch between two HMI languages.
The default HMI language is English. The second language is project dependent.

Figure 4-5

Switching the HMI languages is done on the “MAIN SCREEN” No. 1 (Figure 4-2) by clicking the “FLAG” pushbutton (Figure 4-5). The currently selected HMI language is shown in
the text field above the pushbutton.
4.4
Password Protection
Critical functions and settings are protected by passwords to avoid activation or change by
accident. The password level currently logged on can be seen on the “MAIN SCREEN”
No. 1 (Figure 4-2) and on the “MAIN SCREEN” No. 2 (Figure 4-12).
Password levels:
The HMI provides hierarchically organized password levels from level 0 to 9. If a user is
logged on with password level 3, for example, this user is authorized to execute the functions
of password levels 0 to 3.
The following password levels are used in the STE HMI:
• Password level 0 is the default level i.e. the lowest level in the password hierarchy. A
password does not need to be entered to execute functions on password level 0.
• Password level 3 is used to protect functions intended only for the plant maintenance
personnel. A password has to be entered in order to execute these functions.
Logging on:
Password log on can be done in two different ways:
• Directly by using the “SETTINGS: PASSWORD MANAGEMENT” screen
No. 2.1.2 (Figure 4-6).
1. Enter the password in the “Input Password” field.

Message System
The message system is responsible for reporting events or states that can occur in the compressor system or in the control system. The message system consists of the following components:
• The message indicator.
• The alarm messages window.
• The alarm page.
• The message buffers.
These components and the three message types that are distinguished between in the message system are described below.
Message Types:
• Alarm messages display critical or hazardous operating and process states and require the operating personnel to react by issuing an acknowledgement.
• Event messages display routine operating and process states.
• System messages display states and faults of the HMI, the PLC or the communication between them. They are issued by the HMI or by the PLC and are automatically
displayed on the HMI when they occur.
Message Indicator:
As soon as an alarm message is arriving, the alarm message window (Figure 4-11) and the
message indicator (Figure 4-10) are displayed. The message indicator shows the number of
active alarm messages and will remain visible as long as alarm messages still are active (i.e.
not cleared). The message indicator can assume two states:
• Flashing: As soon as at least one unacknowledged alarm message is queued.
• Static: When all queued alarm messages have been acknowledged but at least one of
them is not yet cleared.

Figure 4-10

Clicking the message indicator will:
• Open the alarm message window if unacknowledged alarm messages still remain.
• Open the alarm page if active alarm messages still remain.
Alarm Message Window:
The alarm message window (Figure 4-11) opens automatically whenever an alarm message
arrives. The following information is provided in the alarm messages window:
• No. column displays a unique alarm message number. Please inform this number
when calling STE for service support.
• Status column displays the current status of the alarm message:
- A: The message is Active
- C: The message is Cleared
- R: The message has been Reset/acknowledged
• PLC column displays the PLC from which the alarm message originates (always
PLC_1).

Alarm Page:
The alarm page has the same layout and provides the same information as the alarm message
buffer (Figure 4-13). The alarm page, however, shows only currently active alarms and will
be empty when all alarms have cleared.
Message Buffers:
The message buffers provide access to historical alarm and event messages. All messages are
stored in chronological order in the message buffer. The most recent message is displayed at
the top of the message buffer. The message buffer is a “First-In-First-Out” buffer type i.e. the
first message stored in the buffer will be the first message to be deleted when the message
buffer is full.

Figure 4-12

Alarm and event messages are stored in separate buffers that can be accessed from HMI
screen No. 2 (Figure 4-12).

Minimizing the Power Consumption
The STE function to minimize the compressor power consumption can be turned On or Off
from the “INLET GUIDE VANES” screen No. 1.5.2.1 (Figure 8-2 and Figure 8-3). The
power minimization function is turned:
• On by selecting “AUTO” mode for the IGV.
• Off by selecting “MAN” mode for the IGV.
Inlet Guide Vanes “AUTO” mode (Figure 8-2):
The inlet guide vanes are released for automatic control when the blow-off valve has reached
its fully closed position. In “AUTO” mode the inlet guide vanes are continuously positioned
according to the current operation conditions (i.e. inlet air temperature, differential pressure
and diffuser position) in order to obtain the lowest possible power consumption. The current
inlet guide vanes position can be read in the “Position” field (0-100%) and the status in the
“INLET GUIDE VANES Status” field.

Figure 8-2

Inlet Guide Vanes “MAN” mode (Figure 8-3):
The inlet guide vanes remain fully open (in maximum) when the automatic start sequence
has ended. By means of the “Open” and “Close” pushbuttons the inlet guide vanes can be
positioned manually. This method can however not be recommended due to the risk of surging if the inlet guide vanes are closed too much. Please operate the inlet guide vanes with
great caution and only according to instructions from STE.

Abnormal Operating Conditions

This section explains how the compressor will react to abnormal operating conditions. The
description covers the compressor soft and hard stop sequences plus the HMI / PLC system
messages.
9.1
Soft Stop Sequence
The soft stop sequence is initiated when an abnormal operating condition occurs that demands a quick stop of the compressor. The soft stop sequence proceeds as described below.
1. An abnormal operating condition occurs.
2. The blow-off valve opens and the diffuser closes.
3. The main drive motor “Run Command” to the MCC is reset when the blow-off valve
has reached its fully open position or at the latest 8 seconds after the abnormal operating condition occurred.
4. The IGV closes when the blow-off valve has reached its fully open position.
5. The electric lube oil pump starts the after-lubrication phase (duration 5 minutes)
when the main drive motor “Running Feedback” signal has been reset by the MCC.
6. The inlet and outlet isolation valves close during the after-lubrication phase.
The progress in the soft stop sequence can be monitored in the status field in the fixed area of
all HMI screens (see example in Figure 7-1).
Refer to the Troubleshooting Guide in section 11.2 to determine the cause of the soft stop.
9.2
Hard Stop Sequence
The hard stop sequence is initiated when a critical operating condition occurs that demands
an instant stop of the compressor. The hard stop sequence proceeds as described below.
1. A critical operating condition occurs.
2. The main drive motor “Run Command” to the MCC is instantly reset.
3. The electric lube oil pump starts the after-lubrication phase (duration 5 minutes)
when the main drive motor “Running Feedback” signal has been reset by the MCC.
4. The blow-off valve opens, the diffuser closes and the IGV closes.
5. The inlet and outlet isolation valves close during the after-lubrication phase.
The progress in the hard stop sequence can be monitored in the status field in the fixed area
of all HMI screens (see example in Figure 7-1).
Refer to the Troubleshooting Guide in section 11.2 to determine the cause of the hard stop.
Emergency Stop and Power Failure are two special conditions initiating the following
Hard Stop Sequence:
1. The emergency stop pushbutton is activated or a power failure occurs.
2. The main drive motor “Run Command” to the MCC is instantly reset.
3. All auxiliaries i.e. the electric lube oil pump, the blow-off valve, the diffuser, the
IGV, the inlet and outlet isolation valves are stopped and remain in their current position.
When the emergency stop pushbutton has been reset or the power supply has been restored,
the LCP will automatically re-establish the start conditions (section 6.1).
Note: The emergency stop pushbutton is only to be used by risk of personal injury or
property damage.

10 Settings
This section provides information about how basic parameters for the operation of the compressor are set or changed through the HMI. The section describes amongst others how to
calibrate the diffuser and IGV, how to set the blow-off valve closing time and how to set the
main drive motor current limiting. Unless described otherwise changing the settings in this
section requires that password level 3 is logged on.
10.1 Calibrating the diffuser and the inlet guide vanes
The diffuser and IGV position feedback is calibrated from 0% to 100% between the fully
closed position (minimum) and the fully open position (maximum). The following procedure
has to be followed if the diffuser or IGV limit switches have been adjusted:
1. Stop the compressor if it is in operation.
2. Select Service Mode as described in section 5.1.
3. Navigate to the “CALIBRATION: DIFFUSER” screen No. 1.5.2.2.1 (Figure 10-1) or
the “CALIBRATION: INLET GUIDE VANES” screen No. 1.5.2.1.1.
4. Initiate the automatic calibration sequence by clicking the “Start Calibration”
pushbutton.

Figure 10-1

The calibration sequence can be monitored by means of the “Status:” field.
1. Opening
2. Open
(the current position is stored as 100%)
3. Closing
4. Closed
(the current position is stored as 0%)
The automatic calibration sequence can be interrupted at any point by clicking the “Cancel
Calibration” pushbutton.
The navigation pushbuttons in the navigation area are disabled as long as the calibration sequence is running, that is the calibration screen can only be deselected when the calibration
sequence has ended.

10.2 Setting the blow-off valve closing time
Setting the blow-off valve closing time is done on the “SETTINGS: BLOW-OFF VALVE”
screen No. 1.5.3.1.1 (Figure 10-2). The closing time of the blow-off valve determines at
which rate the compressor discharge pressure is increased when the compressor is started.

Figure 10-2

The closing time of the blow-off valve is set by means of two parameters (Figure 10-3):
• On Pulse Closing [ms]
• Off Pulse Closing [ms]

Figure 10-3

Recommended settings:
• On Pulse Closing < Off Pulse Closing
• Blow-off valve closing time: 60 – 120 sec.
After setting the two parameters, switch to Service Mode as described in section 5.1 and test
the actual blow-off valve closing time on the “BLOW-OFF VALVE” screen No. 1.5.3.1
(Figure 5-4).
Note:
By setting a too short closing time, i.e. closing the blow-off valve too fast, there is a risk of
surging the compressor during start-up.

10.3 Setting the main drive motor current limiting
The main drive motor current limiting function is provided to avoid overloading of the main
drive motor. The function limits the main drive motor current by blocking the signal to increase the compressor capacity. The parameters associated with the main drive motor current
limiting function can be set on the “SETTINGS: CURRENT (I)” screen No. 1.5.5.1 (Figure
10-4).

Figure 10-4

Function: (Figure 10-4)
• The “Increase Capacity” signal is blocked as long as the main drive motor current exceeds the nominal current of the drive motor.
• The compressor capacity is decreased when the main drive motor current is exceeded
by the “Permitted Overload” percentage.
Recommended settings:
• Maximum Scaling is the maximum current of the current transformer in the MCC.
• Nominal Current is the In specified on the drive motor rating plate.
• Hysteresis Overload ≤ Permitted Overload
• Permitted Overload = 5%
• Hysteresis Nominal Current = 2%
• Hysteresis Overload = 5%
• Response Time = 2 sec. (the time the limits have to be exceeded before action).
All the %-values above are with reference to the Nominal Current.

10.4 Setting instrument scalings
The range for analog instruments is set by means of the parameters Minimum Scaling and
Maximum Scaling. Instrument scalings are grouped according to the physical location of the
instrument:
• Inlet Air System
• Compressor (example in Figure 10-5)
• Outlet Air System
• Lube Oil System
• Main Drive Motor
• Gearbox

Figure 10-5

Note:
Changing the parameters Minimum Scaling or Maximum Scaling also requires the instrument range to be changed / recalibrated.
Do not change these settings without contacting your local STE representative or agent responsible.

lube oil temperature is shown in Figure 10-6.
The following parameters can be set for alarms and trips:
• Alarm Setpoint
• Alarm Hysteresis
- High Alarm: Hysteresis below the set point
- Low Alarm: Hysteresis over the set point
• Alarm Delay
• Trip Setpoint
• Trip Hysteresis
- High Trip: Hysteresis below the set point
- Low Trip: Hysteresis over the set point
• Trip Delay
Note:
Setting trip parameters require that password level 6 is logged on.

General Information

This section provides basic information about the use of the compressor HMI from STE. Describing among others basic screen design, screen navigation, language selection, password
protection, and the message system.
4.1
Basic Screen Design
All the HMI screens are basically divided in three areas (Figure 4-1) the fixed area, the basic
area, and the navigation area.

Figure 4-1

Fixed Area:
The fixed area is used to provide general information about the status of the compressor system and the operation mode currently selected. The fixed area (Figure 4-2) is the same for all
HMI screens.
Basic Area:
The basic area is different for all HMI screens. Depending on the screen currently selected
the basic area provides access to process values, settings, start/stop pushbuttons, language
selection and links to other screens (Figure 4-2).

Figure 4-2

Revision: 2.01

Navigation Area:
The navigation area holds the pushbuttons used to navigate between the HMI screens in the
screen hierarchy. The number of pushbuttons in the navigation area depends on the position
of the current screen in the screen hierarchy.
The functions of the individual navigation pushbuttons are described in section 4.2.
4.2
Screen Navigation
The HMI screens are all arranged in a screen hierarchy that lay down how the individual
screens are linked together. Each HMI screen has a unique number according to its position
in the screen hierarchy. The screen number is shown in the lower right corner on every
screen. The screen numbering system is shown in Figure 4-3.

Figure 4-3

The pushbuttons in the navigation area of the HMI screens are used to move/navigate around
in the screen hierarchy. The functions of the individual navigation pushbuttons are described
in Figure 4-4.

Figure 4-4

For details about screen navigation please refer to the appendix in section 10.1.

4.3
Language Selection
The STE HMI provides the possibility to let the user switch between two HMI languages.
The default HMI language is English. The second language is project dependent.

Figure 4-5

Switching the HMI languages is done on the “MAIN SCREEN” No. 1 (Figure 4-2) by clicking the “FLAG” pushbutton (Figure 4-5). The currently selected HMI language is shown in
the text field above the pushbutton.
4.4
Password Protection
Critical functions and settings are protected by passwords to avoid activation or change by
accident. The password level currently logged on can be seen on the “MAIN SCREEN”
No. 1 (Figure 4-2) and on the “MAIN SCREEN” No. 2 (Figure 4-12).
Password levels:
The HMI provides hierarchically organized password levels from level 0 to 9. If a user is
logged on with password level 3, for example, this user is authorized to execute the functions
of password levels 0 to 3.
The following password levels are used in the STE HMI:
• Password level 0 is the default level i.e. the lowest level in the password hierarchy. A
password does not need to be entered to execute functions on password level 0.
• Password level 3 is used to protect functions intended only for the plant maintenance
personnel. A password has to be entered in order to execute these functions.
Logging on:
Password log on can be done in two different ways:
• Directly by using the “SETTINGS: PASSWORD MANAGEMENT” screen
No. 2.1.2 (Figure 4-6).
1. Enter the password in the “Input Password” field.
2. Click the <Log On> pushbutton (Figure 4-7).

Message System
The message system is responsible for reporting events or states that can occur in the compressor system or in the control system. The message system consist of the following components:
• The message indicator.
• The alarm messages window.
• The alarm page.
• The message buffers.
These components and the three message types that are distinguished between in the message system are described below.
Message Types:
• Alarm messages display critical or hazardous operating and process states and require the operating personnel to react by issuing an acknowledgement.
• Event messages display routine operating and process states.
• System messages display states and faults of the HMI, the PLC or the communication between them. They are issued by the HMI or by the PLC and are automatically
displayed on the HMI when they occur.
Message Indicator:
As soon as an alarm message is arriving, the alarm message window (Figure 4-11) and the
message indicator (Figure 4-10) are displayed. The message indicator shows the number of
active alarm messages and will remain visible as long as alarm messages still are active (i.e.
not cleared). The message indicator can assume two states:
• Flashing: As soon as at least one unacknowledged alarm message is queued.
• Static: When all queued alarm messages have been acknowledged but at least one of
them is not yet cleared.

Figure 4-10

Clicking the message indicator will:
• Open the alarm message window if unacknowledged alarm messages still remain.
• Open the alarm page if active alarm messages still remain.
Alarm Message Window:
The alarm message window (Figure 4-11) opens automatically whenever an alarm message
arrives. The following information is provided in the alarm messages window:
• No. column displays a unique alarm message number. Please inform this number
when calling STE for service support.
• Status column displays the current status of the alarm message:
- A: The message is Active
- C: The message is Cleared
- R: The message has been Reset/acknowledged
• PLC column displays the PLC from which the alarm message originates (always
PLC_1).

Alarm Page:
The alarm page has the same layout and provides the same information as the alarm message
buffer (Figure 4-13). The alarm page, however, shows only currently active alarms and will
be empty when all alarms have cleared.
Message Buffers:
The message buffers provide access to historical alarm and event messages. All messages are
stored in chronological order in the message buffer. The most recent message is displayed at
the top of the message buffer. The message buffer is a “First-In-First-Out” buffer type i.e. the
first message stored in the buffer will be the first message to be deleted when the message
buffer is full.

Figure 4-12

Alarm and event messages are stored in separate buffers that can be accessed from HMI
screen No. 2 (Figure 4-12).

Compressor/Priority allocation

This section provides information about the allocation of priorities to the compressors. The
section starts with a description on how to select priorities for the compressors. The section
is ended with a description of the procedure for priority validation.
6.1
Selecting Priorities
Each compressor is allocated a unique priority. The priorities selected determine the sequence in which the compressors are started by the MCP. The compressors are identified by
letters (A, B, C, etc.) and the priorities by numbers (0, 1, 2, 3, etc.). The priority numbers that
can be selected depends on the number of compressors controlled by the MCP:
• 2 Compressors → Priorities 0, 1, 2
• 9 Compressors → Priorities 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
The MCP will not control a compressor allocated the priority 0. The compressor that is allocated the priority 1 will be the first one to be started and the compressor allocated the priority
9 will be the last one to be started.
The priorities are selected from the “PRIORITY SELECTION” screen No. 1.2.2 (Figure
6-1). The selection of priorities is described below.
Operator procedure:
1. Click the “Select Compressor” pushbuttons to select the compressor for which the
priority has to be allocated. A grey frame around the ”Accepted” and ”Selected”
fields indicates that the compressor is currently selected.
2. Click the “Select Priority” pushbuttons to change the priority for the currently
selected compressor.

Figure 6-1

The “Accepted” row in Figure 6-1 shows the priority sequence currently used by the MCP
when controlling the compressors.
The “Selected” row shows the priorities selected with the “Select Priority” pushbuttons.
Note:
It is recommended only to change the priorities for two compressors at a time to avoid upsetting the airflow to the process.

6.2
Validating Priorities
The priority sequence selected (refer to section 6.1) needs to be validated before it can be
used in the compressor control. The rules for selecting priorities are described in the section
below.
Rules for selecting priorities:
The following rules need to be observed when selecting priorities:
• Priority sequence must be selected without “holes”.
• Priority numbers 1 to 9 must only be selected once.
• Priority number 0 can be allocated to as many compressors as desired.
The tables below show examples of valid (Table 1) and not valid (Table 2) priority sequences.

The priority sequence selected is accepted by clicking the pushbutton “Accept Priorities” on
the “PRIORITY SELECTION” screen No. 1.2.2 (Figure 6-1). Only a valid priority sequence
can be accepted.
The priorities in the “Selected” row will be copied to the “Accepted” row when they are accepted. The compressors will then be controlled according to the new priorities.
Note:
It is recommended only to change the priorities for two compressors at a time to avoid upsetting the airflow to the process.

If a not valid priority sequence has been selected then it is signalled on the “PRIORITY SELECTION” screen No. 1.2.2 (Figure 6-2) by:
• Flashing priority fields in the “Selected” row.
• “Priority Failure” in the status field of the fixed area.

Figure 6-2

Selecting valid priorities will automatically disable the flashing of the priority fields and enable the “Accept Priorities” pushbutton.

Capacity Control

This section provides information about how the compressors are controlled to meet the airflow demanded by the process. The description covers monitoring of the operation, the function of the start compensation, the operation of the Load Controller and the increase and decrease capacity sequences.
7.1
Monitoring the Operation
The sequence of compressor start/stop when increasing or decreasing the capacity can be
monitored on the “OPERATION” screen No. 1.2 (Figure 7-1).

Figure 7-1

The “OPERATION” screen No. 1.2 (Figure 7-1) provides among others an overview of the
current operational status of each compressor. The status of each compressor is signalled
graphically as described below:
(Steady)
(Steady)
(Flashing)
(Steady)
(Flashing)

The compressor is out of operation and ready to start.
The compressor is out of operation and not ready to start.
The compressor is starting.
The compressor is in operation.
The compressor has tripped due to a failure.

In addition the currently accepted priority numbers are shown for each compressor.
The “OPERATION” screen No. 1.2 (Figure 7-1) also provides information about the current
set point and the current process value.
The set point can be changed by clicking the set point input field. The prerequisite for changing the set point from the “OPERATION” screen is that internal set point mode has been selected on the “LOAD CONTROLLER” screen No. 1.2.1 (Figure 7-3)
The “LOAD CONTROLLER” screen No. 1.2.1 (Figure 7-3) and the “PRIORITY SELECTION” screen No. 1.2.2 (Figure 6-1) can both be accessed from the “OPERATION” screen
No. 1.2 by clicking the appropriate pushbutton.

Revision: 2.01

7.2
Start Compensation
Start Compensation is provided to limit overshooting of the set point when starting an additional compressor. The operation of the start compensation is described below:
1. The MCP sends a command to an LCP to start the attached compressor.
2. The compressor starts and the LCP returns an “Operation” signal to the MCP.
3. The MCP activates the start compensation on the compressor with the next lower priority number than the compressor just started.
Example: The compressor with priority number 2 starts → Start Compensation is activated
on the compressor with priority number 1. The Start Compensation activates a timer and the
MCP controls the capacity of the compressor (priority number 1) down until the timer has
expired. The normal capacity control will be enabled again when the Start Compensation
time has expired.
The Start Compensation time can be adjusted through the “SETTINGS: GENERAL” screen
No. 2.1.3 (Figure 9-3).

Figure 7-2

Start Compensation is an optional feature and it can be switched “On” by clicking the
On/Off pushbutton on the “OPTIONS” screen No. 1.3 (Figure 7-2)

Revision: 2.01

7.3
The Load Controller
The Load Controller is responsible for controlling the compressors so the airflow demanded
by the process is obtained. The compressors are normally controlled to keep a constant pressure in a main air header. The pressure in the air main header is measured by a pressure
transmitter and fed through the PLC to the Load Controller. The pressure set point can either
be set manually through the “LOAD CONTROLLER” screen No. 1.2.1 (Figure 7-3) or externally, e.g. from a process control system. The Load Controller is configured as a PI step
controller. Based on the measured pressure and the set point the Load Controller generates
signals to increase or decrease the capacity of the compressor system.

Figure 7-3

The “LOAD CONTROLLER” screen No. 1.2.1 (Figure 7-3) provides the following:
• Pushbutton to select internal (SP INT) or external (SP EXT) set point.
• Pushbuttons to increase/decrease the internal set point.
• Pushbutton to select manual (MAN) or automatic (AUTO) controller mode.
• Pushbuttons to increase/decrease the capacity of the compressor system in manual
controller mode.
• Bargraph for display of the controller set point (SP).
• Bargraph for display of the controller process value (PV).
• Bargraph for display of the controller output (Out).
• Pushbutton to access the controller parameters.
• Pushbutton to access the controller trends of the set point and the process value.
Note:
No capacity control will be performed if the Load Controller is switched to manual mode.

7.4
Increasing Capacity
When the current capacity of the compressor system does not meet the capacity demanded
by the process, the LOAD CONTROLLER will increase the capacity of the compressors in
operation and if necessary start additional compressors. The philosophy of the MCP is to
control the capacity of only one compressor at a time and then keep the rest of the compressors in operation at their maximum capacity.
Below a description of the sequence when the capacity is increased:
1. A start command will be sent to the priority 1 compressor as soon as “Automatic”
mode is selected on the “MODE SELECTION” screen No. 1.1 (Figure 5-1).
2. The capacity of the priority 1 compressor will be increased until the set point is
reached or the priority 1 compressor has reached its maximum capacity.
3. A start command will be sent to the priority 2 compressor when the LOAD CONTROLLER has generated the “Number Of Pulses To Start” set on the “SETTINGS:
GENERAL” screen No. 2.1.3 (Figure 9-3).
4. The capacity of the priority 1 compressor will be decreased when the priority 2 compressor signals that it is in operation. (Only if Start Compensation is switched “On”,
refer to section 7.2).
5. When the Start Compensation time (refer to Figure 9-3) has expired the capacity of
the priority 1 compressor is increased until the set point is reached or the compressor
has reached its maximum capacity.
6. The capacity of the priority 2 compressor will be increased until the set point is
reached or the priority 2 compressor has reached its maximum capacity.
7. A start command will be sent to the priority 3 compressor when the LOAD CONTROLLER has generated the “Number Of Pulses To Start”.
The above sequence will continue in the same way until the set point has been reached or all
compressors controlled by the MCP are in operation.
The current status of the compressors system can be monitored on the “OPERATION”
screen No. 1.2 (Figure 7-1).

7.5
Decreasing Capacity
When the current capacity of the compressor system is higher than the capacity demanded by
the process, the LOAD CONTROLLER will decrease the capacity of the compressors in operation and if necessary stop compressors. The philosophy of the MCP is to control the capacity of only one compressor at a time and then keep the rest of the compressors in operation at their maximum capacity.
Below a description of the sequence when the capacity is decreased:
1. The capacity of the priority 3 compressor will be decreased until the set point is
reached or the priority 3 compressor has reached its minimum capacity.
2. The capacity of the priority 2 compressor will be decreased until the set point is
reached or the priority 2 compressor has reached its minimum capacity.
3. The start command to the priority 3 compressor will be reset when the LOAD CONTROLLER has generated the “Number Of Pulses To Stop” set on the “SETTINGS:
GENERAL” screen No. 2.1.3 (Figure 9-3).
4. When the priority 3 compressor is out of operation, the capacity of the priority 1
compressor will be decreased until the set point is reached or the priority 1 compressor has reached its minimum capacity.
5. The start command to the priority 2 compressor will be reset when the LOAD CONTROLLER has generated the “Number Of Pulses To Stop”.
The above sequence will continue in the same way until the set point has been reached or
only the priority 1 compressor is in operation in its minimum capacity.
The MCP will not automatically stop the priority 1 compressor. The priority 1 compressor
can only be stopped by selecting Off Mode (refer to section 5.1) or by initiating a remote
stop command, e.g. from a process control system.
The current status of the compressors system can be monitored on the “OPERATION”
screen No. 1.2 (Figure 7-1).

Figure 7-5

Figure 7-5 shows the LOAD CONTROLLER in “AUTO” mode operating with an internal
set point during a phase where the capacity is decreased.

Abnormal Operating Conditions

This section explains how the compressor system and the MCP will react to abnormal operating conditions. The description covers the MCP alarms/trips and the HMI / PLC system
messages.
8.1
General
The MCP behaviour to different abnormal situations is described below.
MCP power failure:
When the MCP fails due to a power outage, the compressors running in Remote Mode will
automatically be switched to Local Mode and the compressors remain in operation at their
current capacity. The compressor capacity can then be controlled manually from the LCP.
When the power supply to the MCP is restored and it is in Automatic Mode then switch:
1. The priority 1 compressor to Remote Mode (When switched to Remote Mode the
compressor will stop. The MCP will restart the compressor when it is ready to start).
2. The priority 2 compressor to Remote Mode (only when the priority 1 compressor is
started by the MCP).
3. The priority 3 compressor to Remote Mode (only when the priority 2 compressor is
started by the MCP).
Continue the above sequence until the compressor with the highest priority number has been
switched to Remote Mode.
Total power failure (MCP + LCP’s):
When the complete compressor control system (MCP + LCP’s) fails due to a power outage
then all the compressors will stop instantly.
When the power supply to the MCP and LCP’s has been restored, the MCP automatically
starts the priority 1 compressor and resumes capacity control to meet the airflow demanded
by the process.
Compressor trip:
When a compressor trips due to a critical operating or process state, the MCP automatically
starts the next compressor that is ready in the priority sequence.
Example with MCP-4:
1. The priority A=1 and priority B=2 compressors are in operation. The priority C=3
compressor is not ready for operation (e.g. in Local Mode). The priority D=4 compressor is not in operation.
2. The priority B=2 compressor trips due to a critical operating state.
3. The MCP automatically starts the priority D=4 compressor.
When the reason for the compressor trip has been found and rectified then the LCP will signal “Ready to start” to the MCP. The MCP will automatically restart the compressor when it
is ready again.

Settings

This section provides information about how basic parameters for the operation of the compressor system are set or changed through the HMI. The section describes amongst others
how to set the parameters of the Load Controller, how to adjust the dynamics of the compressor system and how to set instrument scalings. Unless described otherwise changing the
settings in this section requires that password level 3 is logged on.
9.1
Setting the Load Controller
The Load Controller is responsible for controlling the compressors so the airflow demanded
by the process is obtained. The parameters of the Load Controller (Figure 9-1) have to be set
and fine-tuned during commissioning of the compressor system to obtain an optimum operation of the process. When the operation of the process is changed after commissioning of the
MCP then the Load Controller might need to be fine-tuned again. The Load Controller parameters are described below:
• Internal Set Point
The Internal Set Point is used for control when internal set point mode (SP INT) is selected on the Load Controller screen No. 1.2.1 (Figure 7-3). The Internal Set Point is
entered in percent (of the process value span) and is additionally shown in the relevant unit.
• Safety Set Point
The Safety Set Point is used for control when external set point mode (SP EXT) is selected on the Load Controller screen No. 1.2.1 (Figure 7-3) and the external set point
signal is interrupted. The Safety Set Point is entered in percent (of the process value
span) and is additionally shown in the relevant unit.
• Dead Band
The Dead Band is applied on both “sides” of the set point and in this band the Load
Controller will not increase or decrease the capacity. It should be noted that the
steady-state deviation may be equal to the value of the dead band.
• Proportional Gain
The Proportional Gain determines the response of the proportional component in the
Load Controller.
• Integral Action Time
The Integral Action Time determines the time response of the integral component in
the Load Controller.

Figure 9-1

Page 26 / 38

Operations Manual
Master Control Panel

17-03-2008
Revision: 2.01

Tuning the Load Controller:
The Load Controller parameters (Figure 9-1) need to be fine-tuned during commissioning
and if the operation of the process is changed. The Load Controller Trend screen No. 1.2.1.2
(Figure 9-2) is intended as an aid when this fine-tuning has to be performed. The Load Controller Trend screen shows the dynamics of the Process Value (%) and the Set Point (%)
while the Load Controller is operating.
The trend curves can be started and stopped by clicking the <Start/Stop> pushbutton.

Figure 9-2

The Load Controller Trend screen No. 1.2.1.2 (Figure 9-2) is selected by clicking the
<Trend> pushbutton on the Load Controller screen No. 1.2.1 (Figure 7-3).
• Dead Band
Decrease the Dead Band if the process value requires more accurate control.
Increase the Dead Band if the process value requires further stabilization.
Note that the steady-state deviation between the set point and the process value may
have the same value as the dead band (i.e. the control becomes less accurate when the
dead band is increased).
• Proportional Gain
Decrease the Proportional Gain if the process value requires a smaller control response.
Increase the Proportional Gain if the process value requires a greater control response.
• Integral Action Time
Decrease the Integral Action Time if the process value requires a faster control response.
Increase the Integral Action Time if the process value requires a slower control response.
Note:
It is recommended only to change one of the above parameters at a time and then observe the
reaction of the Load Controller on the Load Controller Trend screen before changing further
parameters.

Revision: 2.01

9.2
Adjusting the dynamics of the system
The dynamic behaviour of the compressor system can be changed by means of the parameters on the “SETTINGS: GENERAL” screen No. 2.1.3 (Figure 9-3).

Figure 9-3

The parameters on screen No. 2.1.3 are described below:
• Start Delay After Power-Up
After power-up the MCP will not start any compressors until the delay time has expired. The delay time is used by the LCP’s to re-establish the compressor start conditions (e.g. open the blow-off valve and close the diffuser).
Recommended setting: 300 sec.
• Number Of Pulses To Start
The “Number Of Pulses To Start” parameter determines how many “Increase” pulses
the Load Controller has to generate with a compressor in maximum capacity before
an additional compressor is started.
Recommended setting for pressure control: 6 pulses.
Recommended setting for oxygen control: 80 pulses.
• Number Of Pulses To Stop
The “Number Of Pulses To Stop” parameter determines how many “Decrease” pulses
the Load Controller has to generate with a compressor in minimum capacity before a
compressor is stopped.
Recommended setting for pressure control: 6 pulses.
Recommended setting for oxygen control: 80 pulses.
• Start Compensation Time
The “Start Compensation Time” parameter determines how long time the capacity of
the compressor currently under “Start Compensation” control is forced down.
Recommended setting: 60 sec.

9.3
Setting instrument scalings
The range for analog instruments is set by means of the parameters Minimum Scaling and
Maximum Scaling. Instrument scalings are grouped according to the physical location of the
instrument:
• Air Header System (example in Figure 9-4)
• Aeration System

Figure 9-4

Note:
Changing the parameters Minimum Scaling or Maximum Scaling also requires the instrument range to be changed / recalibrated.
Do not change these settings without contacting your local STE representative or agent responsible.

Revision: 2.01

9.4
Setting alarm set points
The alarm and trip set points are set through standardized HMI screens. An example for the
header air pressure is shown in Figure 9-5.
The following parameters can be set for alarms and trips:
• Alarm Setpoint
• Alarm Hysteresis
- High Alarm: Hysteresis below the set point
- Low Alarm: Hysteresis over the set point
• Alarm Delay
• Trip Setpoint
• Trip Hysteresis
- High Trip: Hysteresis below the set point
- Low Trip: Hysteresis over the set point
• Trip Delay
Note:
Setting trip parameters require that password level 6 is logged on.

Figure 9-5

Changes to the alarm/trip parameters must be saved by clicking the “Save Settings” pushbutton.
Note:
Changing the trip parameters may result in damages to the compressor as well as personal
injuries. Do not change these settings without contacting your local STE representative or
agent responsible.

2.3

Installation

The electrical machines are suitable for indoor installation.
The machines may be operated at heights of ≤ 1000 m above sea level, at ambient temperatures of – 20 to + 40°C. Exceptions are specified on the rating plate.

2.4

Ventilation

The distance between the air intake and any driven appliances, covers etc., must
be at least 1/4 of the diameter of the air intake aperture. As a rule, air stream flow is
from the drive side to the non-drive side.
The exhausting air stream must not be directly sucked in again. Keep the
air intake and exit apertures free from dirt.
Models with upward-facing shaft ends are to be fitted (to be undertaken by
the customer) with a suitable cover which prevents foreign objects falling
into the ventilation aperture and also protects against water penetration.
Cooling of the electrical machine must not be adversely affected by the
cover.
For pipe-ventilated electrical machines air intake and exit is effected, as a rule, via
a system of pipes. When supplied, the electrical machines correspond to protection type IP 00 (rating plate specification). Protection type IP 54 can be achieved
through suitable modifications to the piping system. In doing this, however, the
pressure drop in the outer circuit must not exceed the permitted values as stated in
the table.

Mechanical

4.2.1

Transmission Components
Only use flexible couplings;
rigid couplings require special bearings.
The keys located in the shaft ends are not particularly secured against falling out.
Should a machine with two shaft ends have no drive element fitted on one
of these shaft ends, ensure that the unused key cannot spin off the shaft. If
the machine is of balance type „H“ then the key should be shortened by
half!
When using transmission components which cause radial or axial shaft
loadings (e.g. drive belt wheels, sprockets etc.), take care that the permitted
loading is not exceeded. Refer to the specifications given in our respective
applicable technical list.

Each rotor is dynamically balanced according to its balance type with a full, a half
or no key and, in accordance with ISO 8821, is labelled thus:
F = full key,
H = half key,
N = no key.
Rotors balanced with a full key → balance the drive component with open
key groove.
Rotors balanced with a half key → balance the drive component in a
ungrooved state.



Balance the drive component in accordance with the type of balance of the rotor. For shorter drive components machine off that part of the key which projects
beyond the drive component and above the surface of the shaft.



Before fitting the drive component onto the shaft remove the anti-corrosion film
on the shaft end with a suitable cleaning agent (e.g. naphtha).
Do not use emery or rub down the shaft to remove the protective film!

Machine Base

The kind of supporting surface required for the machine base is one which can
ensure machine operation which is shock-free, low in vibration and torsionally
rigid.



Secure the electrical machine on a level shock-free supporting surface.
All securing feet must lie on an even, level plane in order to avoid stress in
the housing.
Wrong installation can lead to resonances in rotary frequency and double
mains frequency range.
In order to avoid damage to electrical machines in an idle state (stand-by
operation) the following maximum rates of vibration must not be exceeded.

Idle Time

4.2.2.1 Assessment Criteria for Vibration
With regard to vibration at the site location, the assessment criteria laid down in
DIN ISO 3945 are to be complied with.
For rigid foundations the following measured values on the bearing housing can
be considered as limiting values:



5.5 mm/s for the alarm,
11 mm/s for switch-off.



16

Should vibration values between the alarm and switch-off values become
apparent, operation of the electrical machine can continue under observation. The possibility of resultant damage to the electrical machine cannot be
excluded. If necessary, inform the manufacturer.

4.3

Electrical
All work on the electrical machine’s electrical connections must only be
carried out by electricians (as defined in DIN VDE 0105 and IEC 364)!

4.3.1

Insulating Resistance
Do not touch the connection terminals either during or after measuring.
The terminal connections can carry high voltages! After carrying out
the check earth the terminal connections briefly (5 seconds).



Using a hand generator (max. D.C. voltage = 630V) measure the insulating resistance of each individual phase to earth. Continue measuring until the measured value is constant.



The insulating resistance of new windings is > 10 MΩ.
Dirty and damp windings have considerably lower resistance values.
Should a measurement of less than 0,5 MΩ be registered in the air space,
clean and / or dry the winding. During this process the winding temperature
must not exceed 80°C. Dry by means of a space heater or heating appliance, or by applying an alternating voltage with a value equivalent to 5-6%
of the rated voltage (make the ∆ - circuit) at the stator terminal connections
U1 and V1.



Repeat the measurement. With resistance values of > 0,5 MΩ the electrical machine can be put into operation.


4.3.2

Insulating resistance values are dependent on temperature.
Standard values: A rise or fall in winding temperature by 10 K has the effect
of respectively halving or doubling the resistance value.

Voltage and Circuit

Observe the circuit details given on the rating plate and compare the operating
voltage to the mains voltage.
The permitted fluctuation in mains voltage amounts to ± 5%. Exceptions are specified on the rating plate.

All electrical machines have a connection diagram on the inner side of the
terminal box cover.
The cable feed aperture can be turned by 90° or 180° .

Match the cross-sectional area of the connecting cable to the rated
current strength.
To avoid tension in the terminal connections fit the cable so it is not pulling
from the connectors.
Take care that there are no foreign bodies, dirt and / or dampness present
in the terminal box.
To guarantee the protective type when sealing the terminal box, use original seals.
Seal any unused cable feed apertures so that they are dust- and watertight.

Y/D -start
To avoid unpermitted transient current and torque impacts, the cross-over
from Y to ∆ may only be effected if the start current of the Y stage has decayed.
During the run-up phase the machine should only be switched off in an
emergency, in order to protect the switchgear and the machine itself.

4.3.7

Electrical Machine Protection



Connect the built-in semi-conductor temperature sensor to the trigger mechanism in accordance with the circuit diagram.



Any possibly required continuity check of the temperature sensor should only
be carried out using a measuring bridge (max. 5V).
In order to achieve total thermal
protection of the machine, fit a
supplementary thermally-delayed
overload protector (→ Bild 10).

Instructions for Electrical Machines Which Are
To Be Stored
9


9.1

Instructions for Electrical Machines Which Are To Be Stored
Electrical machines which will be stored for long periods of time before use
are to be dealt with as follows:

Storage Site

Store the machine (complete with its transportation packing) in a dry place which can
be heated and which is free from shock, and protect it from mechanical damage.
After long periods of standing (more than 1 year) check the bearings for
corrosion damage. Even the smallest amount of corrosion damage can reduce the bearing’s serviceable life.

9.2

Securing the Machine for Transportation

If the electrical machine is fitted with cylindrical roller bearings, fix the rotor by
means of a suitable transportation securing device (for protection against scoring
of the rotor by shock see chapter 3.3).
If the electrical machines are despatched on vibration dampers, then they should
not be removed during the period of standing.
If drive sprockets, couplings etc. are already assembled onto the shaft ends, then
fit the transportation securing devices where possible or place the machine onto
vibration dampers.

Any further transportation should only be carried out using transportation
securing devices or by placing the machine onto vibration dampers.

9.3

Checks before Commissioning

9.3.1

Bearings

After long periods of standing (> 1 year) check the bearings. For dismantling and
assembly of the bearings → pages 27 – 40.
Even the smallest amount of corrosion damage considerably reduces the
bearing’s serviceable life. If bearing change is not necessary, re-grease the
bearing.

48

Instructions for Electrical Machines Which Are
To Be Stored
The specifications for type / amount of grease can be taken from the rating
plate or lubricating plate (on the electrical machine). Observe the specifications given in the operating instructions on page 25, Bearing Lubrication,
Grease Nipple. The measures specified above can be ignored if the period
of standing has been relatively short (< 1 year) and storage has been carried out in the proper manner.

9.3.2

Insulating Resistance
All work on the electrical machine’s electrical connections may only be
carried out by electricians (as defined in DIN VDE 0105 and IEC 364)!
Do not touch the connection terminals either during or after measurement. The connection terminals can carry high-voltages! After checking, earth the connection terminals for a short time (5 seconds).



Using a hand generator (max. DC voltage = 630V), measure the insulating resistance of each individual phase to earth continuously until the measured
value is constant.



The insulating resistance of new windings is > 10 MΩ. Dirty and damp
windings demonstrate considerably lower resistance values.
Should a measurement of less than 0.5 MΩ be registered in the air space,
clean and / or dry the winding. During this process the winding temperature
must not exceed 80°C. Dry by means of a space heater or heating appliance or by applying an alternating voltage with a value equivalent to 5-6%
of the rated voltage (make the ∆ − circuit) at the stator terminal connections
U1 and V1.



Repeat the measurement. With resistance values of > 0.5 MΩ the electrical
machine can be put into operation.



Insulating resistance values are dependent on temperature.
Standard values: A rise or fall in winding temperature by 10 K has the effect
of respectively halving or doubling the resistance value.

An assembly drawing and seven A-4 drawings (No. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) are delivered with the
Mounting Instructions for the plant in question.
A thin plastic film protects the surface of the components against damage during transport and
mounting. Therefore, remove this film as late as possible during the assembly. When the film
has been removed the parts must be treated with the utmost care to avoid damage to the
surface.
All item numbers of the Mounting Instructions, e.g. L232, are shown on the above-mentioned
drawings and the bill of delivery.

1.

See Assembly Drawing and Drawing No. 1
Placement of the floor profiles is carried out in accordance with the distances indicated to the
compressor's centre line as well as the length measurements.
The gable profiles are placed under the side floor profiles.
Parallelism, right angles, and measurements shall be carefully aligned.

2.

See Assembly Drawing and Drawing No. 3
Place slide rail (L259) for motor cross panel (L257/L258) (if any) on the floor.

3.

Having laid out the profiles, weight them down with available heavy objects to avoid
dislocation during drilling of the ∅ 10 mm holes for Simplex expansion bolts (L275). The
holes are drilled 55mm and 65 mm, respectively, down in the base plate through the holes in
the floor profiles and the slide rail.
With a view to possible later adjustment, be careful to drill in the centre of the slide rail holes,
as reinforcement iron in the concrete may cause problems when positioning.

4.

See Assembly Drawing and Drawing Nos. 1 + 3
Put floor profiles aside and clean boreholes of drill cuttings (dust). Insert expansion bolts
(L275) while making sure that the tops of the bolts are approximately 40 mm above floor
level.

Clean underside of floor profiles and slide rail (L259) thoroughly with degreasing agent.
Fasten sealing strips (L283) as shown on drawings 1, 3, and 7. Make sure that all slits are
sealed to avoid passage of sound.
NB!

6.

Even small openings in the joints will considerably reduce the damping effect of the
acoustic enclosure.

Now place sufficient number of washers (L277) on each expansion bolt (L275), so that the
profiles are raised approx. 9 mm above floor level.
Exactitude of alignment: ±1 mm from theoretical horizontal level.

7.

See Assembly Drawing and Drawing Nos. 1 + 2

to the measurements indicated on drwg. 1 + 2. Press posts firmly against the inner edge of
floor profile and tighten nuts lightly.

8.

When placing top profiles follow Assembly Drawing closely; Put them up and fasten them to
posts with screws (L270) and washers (L278). The side top profiles are placed under the gable
top profiles. Fasten the 4 panels (L246, L247, L248, L249) in the gable next to the compressor
inlet. The gable panels (L246, L247, L248, L249) are held together by 4 screws (L271). There
are pop nuts in panels L246 and L247.

9.

See Assembly Drawing and Drawing No. 2
Place the rafters acc. to Assembly Drawing and tighten with screw (L269) and washer (L278).

10.

in an unbroken line, as shown on drawings 4, 5, and 6.
When mounting the sealing strip, start at the bottom in the middle of the opening. Use hammer
when fixing strip to the panel edge and continue around the opening while paying special
attention to the corners.

13.

See Assembly Drawing
Spray all sealing strips (L284) with silicone (L289) from spray included in delivery. Then
insert side- and gable panels by tilting the panel up into the top profile, lifting it so high that it
slides over the vertical, outer edge of the floor profile, after which it is lowered vertically into
the floor panel.
Having mounted all the panels, check that the rubber sealing strips (L284) bear against the
panels. If not, adjust the posts against the outer edge of the floor profile.
Remove side panels and the top panel(s) opposite the ventilation hood, see later Item 15.

14.

Sealing of the connection between the inlet silencer and the acoustic enclosure is made with
Ikalon sealing strip (L282) 30 x 50 mm.

SERIES 52 Couplings
Installation Instruction
(Metric Version)

Warning: All rotating power transmission products are potentially dangerous and must be
properly guarded in compliance with OSHA standards for the speed and applications for which
they are intended. It is the responsibility of the user to provide proper guarding.

Figure 1

I. Purpose: These instructions are intended to help
you to install, align, and maintain your THOMAS
coupling.

IV. Hub Mounting:
A. General. Clean hub bores and shafts.
Remove any nicks or burrs. If bore is
tapered, check for good contact pattern. If the
bore is straight, measure the bore and shaft
diameters to assure proper fit. The key(s) should
have a snug side-to-side fit with a small
clearance over the top.

Il. Scope: Covered here will be general information,
hub mounting, alignment, assembly, locknut
torquing, disc pack replacement, and part
numbers.

B. Straight Bore. Install key(s) in the shaft. If the hub is
an interference fit, heat the hub in an oil bath or oven
until bore is sufficiently larger than the shaft. 350
degrees F. is usually sufficient. An open flame s not
recommended. However, if flame heating is
necessary, use a very large rose bud tip to give even
heat distribution. A thermal heat stick wiII help
determine hub temperature. DO NOT SPOT HEAT
THE HUB OR DISTORTION MAY OCCUR. With the
hub expanded, slide it quickly up the shaft to the
desired axial position. A pre-set axial stop device
can be helpful.

III. General Information: The coupling, as received,
may or may not be assembled. If assembled, the
Iocknuts are not torqued. Examine the parts to
assure there is no visible damage. If coupling is
assembled, remove the bolts, Iocknuts, and
washers that attach the hubs to the discpacks.
Remove both hubs. Leave the disc packs attached
to the center member assembly.

C. Taper Bore. Put the hub on the shaft without
key(s) in place. Lightly tap hub up the shaft with
a soft hammer. This will assure a metal-to-metal
fit between shaft and hub. This is the starting
point for the axial draw. Record this position
between shaft end and hub face with a depth
micrometer. Mount a dial indicator to read axial
hub movement. Set the indicator to "0”. Remove
hub and install key(s). Remount hub, drawing it
up the shaft to the "0" set point. Continue to
advance hub up the taper to the desired axial
position. Use the indicator as a guide only. A
pre-set axial stop device can be helpful. Check
the final results with depth micrometer. The hub
may have to be heated in order to reach the
desired position on the shaft. DO NOT SPOT
HEAT THE HUB OR DISTORTION MAY
OCCUR. Install shaft locknut to hold hub in
place.

within .001 inch per inch of the axial length between flex
elements.
NOTE:
If the driver or driven equipment alignment
specification is tighter than these recommendations, the
specification should be used. Also, be sure to
compensate for thermal movement in the equipment.
The coupling is capable of approximately six times the
above shaft misalignment tolerances. However, close

V. SHAFT ALIGNMENT. Move equipment into
place.
A. Soft Foot. The equipment must sit fIat on its
base. Any soft foot must be corrected now.
B. Axial Spacing. The axial spacing of the shafts
should be positioned so that the disc packs
(flexing elements) are flat when the equipment is
running under normal conditions. This means
there is a minimal amount of waviness in the disc
pack when viewed from the side. This wilI result
in a flexing element that is centered and parallel
to its mating flange faces. Move the connected
equipment to accomplish the above. As a guide,
maximum and minimum values for dimension “N”
are given. These dimensions are suggested for
initial installation. Additional capacity is available
to compensate for thermal and structural
movement. Maximum axial capacity values for
these couplings are also given. See Table 1 and
Figure 1.

Figure 3

alignment at installation will provide longer service with
smoother operation.
VI. FINAL ASSEMBLY. With the coupling in good
alignment, the bolts will fit through the holes in the
flanges and the disc packs more easily
A. If the coupling arrived assembled, the disc packs
are still attached to the center member assembly.
Before taking the disc packs off, first install one
hub boIt through each disc pack and secure with a
locknut. This will help when the pack is reinstalled
later. if the coupling was shipped disassembled,
the boIt through the pack is not required as the
discs in the pack are factory-taped together.

NOTE:
L=2N+Center Member Length.
C. Angular Alignment. Rigidly mount a dial
indicator on one hub or shaft, reading the face of
the other hub flange, as shown in Figure 2.
Rotate both shafts together making sure the
shaft axial spacing remains constant. Adjust the
equipment by shimming and/or moving so that
the indicator reading is within .001 inch per inch
of coupling flange diameter.

B. With the hubs mounted and the span Iength “C”
set, proceed to put the center member into place
between the two hubs. Care should be taken when
handling the center member as the tube can be
damaged.
Support the center member at both ends on wood
blocks, with nylon straps from a hoist, or some
other convenient way. it may help to support the
end not being worked on with bolts through the
spool flange boIt holes and into the hub flange boIt
holes. This will hold the parts in line at that end.

D. Parallel Offset. Rigidly mount a dial indicator on
one hub or shaft, reading the other hub flange
outside diameter, as shown in Figure 3.
Compensate for indicator set-up sag. Rotate
both shafts
together. Adjust the equipment by shimming
and/or moving 50 that the indicator reading is
89301E232a

C. Now install the disc pack. Rotate the hub or
center member so that the hub boIt holes line up
with the center member flange clearance holes.
If the coupling was assembly balanced, also
align the matchmarks. Start a boIt through the
washer. The beveled side of the washer
should always be against the disc pack. Hold
the disc pack in one hand, slip it down between
the two flanges until one hole in the pack lines
up with a clearance hole in the hub. Slide the
boIt through this hole into the disc pack. Add a
washer. Then push the boIt through the boIt hole
in the center spool and install the locknut.

NOTE: When installing the washer, it may be helpful to
use a stiff wire with one end bent into a hook to put
around the O.D. of the washer. This will help to line up
the washer with the hole.
The remaining bolts for this end can be put through
the center member clearance holes, washer, disc
pack, washer into the bolt hole in the hub flange and
add a locknut. The Iocknuts can be snugged up at
this time. Disc pack when installed should look flat
and parallel with the mating flanges.
D. Now proceed to the other end of the coupling.
Remove the support bolts, if used, supporting the
center member in one of the other ways. Using
paragraph "Vl. C above install the second disc pack.

NOTE: All boIt threads should be lubricated. A
clean motor oil is recommended.
Do not torque any Iocknuts at this time.
Remove the disc pack alignment boIt if used.
Now pivot the pack around until it lines up
with the rest of the boIt holes in the center
spool. Install the rest of the bolts through the
hub clearance holes, washer disc pack,
washer into the boIt hole of the center
member flange, and add a locknut.

E. Make the final coupling alignment check at this time.
F. Torque Up the Iocknuts. See Table 1 for torque
values.
NOTE: With the coupling in good alignment the bolts will
fit through the holes in the flanges and the disc pack
more easily.

1. SECURITE
Cet appareil répond aux normes de sécurité en vigueur. Toutefois, seule une
installation, une maintenance et une utilisation effectuées par un personnel
qualifié et formé permettront d'assurer un niveau de sécurité adéquat.
ATTENTION
Pour les servomoteurs antidéflagrants, veuillez aussi lire
attentivement les instructions spécifiques TMS1132 avant de procéder
au montage et au démarrage.
Avant montage et démarrage, lire attentivement l'ensemble de ce document.
2. MONTAGE
Le servomoteur doit être boulonné sur l’appareil à motoriser.
Les servomoteurs BERNARD peuvent fonctionner dans n’importe quelle
position. Cependant, les presse-étoupes ne devraient par être orientés vers
le haut (étanchéité) et le moteur de préférence pas placé en position basse
(condensation d'eau interne potentielle).
Note 1 : ne pas transporter les servomoteurs par le volant sous peine
d’endommager le couple roue et vis.
Note 2 : si le servomoteur a été fourni monté sur la vanne, les réglages de
base ont en principe été effectués ; se reporter alors aux seuls § 3,4 et 9.
Note 3 : voir §.9 pour les précautions de stockage avant mise en route.
3. COMMANDE MANUELLE ET DEBRAYAGE
Dans le cas général, le volant ne tourne pas pendant les manoeuvres
électriques. Si le volant tourne, il est alors plein et exempt de parties
saillantes et ne présente aucun risque pour l'opérateur.
De plus, pour les servomoteurs à couple élevé, le dispositif de limiteur d'effort
assure une protection complémentaire.
Modèles OA :
Ils sont équipés d’une commande manuelle débrayable manuellement.
Pour passer en mode manuel, il faut tourner le volant tout en tirant dessus
afin de l’engager mécaniquement.
Le débrayage du volant s’effectue en le repoussant en butée vers le carter.
Modèles AS100/AS200/AS400/SRA/SRC/ASM :
Ils disposent d’une commande manuelle à débrayage automatique à priorité
électrique.
Pour passer en mode manuel, aligner la flèche de la poignée d’embrayage
avec le repère triangulaire situé sur le carter (il peut être nécessaire de
tourner le volant de quelques degrés pour dégager les crabots).
Le retour en mode électrique s’effectue automatiquement au démarrage du
moteur, ou bien manuellement si on le désire.
AS100/AS200/AS400/SRA/SRC/ASM

Modèles ASP/AS50/AS80 :
Certains de ces modèles sont équipés d'un levier de débrayage du moteur
monté sur un étage de réduction intermédiaire.
En fin de manoeuvre manuelle, ne pas oublier de réembrayer le moteur.
Sinon, celui-ci tournera à vide jusqu'à l'activation de la protection thermique.
Si cet incident se répète, un risque de détérioration du moteur existe.
4. RACCORDEMENT ET TESTS ÉLECTRIQUES
Si le servomoteur est équipé d'une commande type INTEGRAL, MINIGAM
ou MINIGRAL, veuillez vous reporter aux documentations spécifiques.
Sinon, tous les fils électriques venant des différents éléments du
servomoteur sont ramenés sur un bornier dont les bornes portent des
numéros correspondant aux schémas de câblage inclus dans ce document.
Le contact de protection thermique du moteur et les deux contacts du limiteur

2

de couple doivent être intégrés dans votre logique de commande (cf.
exemples de câblage) afin de limiter les risques de casse mécanique.
Une fois le câblage terminé, les points suivants sont à contrôler :
a) A partir des informations gravées sur la plaque d'identification du
servomoteur, vérifier que l'alimentation électrique utilisée est correcte,
b) Vérifier que les presse-étoupe ont bien été resserrés après câblage,
c) A l'aide de la commande manuelle, amener la vanne en position médiane,
d) Actionner la commande électrique d'ouverture. Vérifier que le sens de
rotation du servomoteur est correct. Actionner manuellement le contact de
fin de course "OPEN" (ouvert) ; le moteur doit s'arrêter.
Vérifier de la même manière la commande électrique de fermeture et le
contact de fin de course "CLOSED" (fermé).
e) Tous modèles sauf OA : actionner la commande électrique d'ouverture.
Actionner manuellement le contact du limiteur d'effort "OPEN" ; le moteur
doit s'arrêter. Vérifier de la même manière le contact du limiteur d'effort
"CLOSED" pendant une manoeuvre de fermeture.
En cas de problème sur un de ces tests, vérifier l'ensemble du cablâge.
Pour les servomoteurs d’un couple supérieur à 300 Nm, après avoir vérifié le
sens de rotation, il est préférable d’alimenter seulement le courant de
contrôle, sans alimenter le courant de puissance, afin de contrôler le
branchement en toute sécurité.
5. RÉGLAGE DES BUTÉES MECANIQUES ET DES CONTACTS DE FIN
DE COURSE
Description et fonction des butées mécaniques (1/4 Tour uniquement)
Ce dispositif limite mécaniquement la course lors de la commande manuelle
de la vanne et de ce fait évite tout déréglage. Suivant les cas, les butées sont
localisées sur le servomoteur ou sur le réducteur 1/4 Tour.
Les servomoteurs sont réglés dans nos usines pour une rotation de 90°. Un
réglage est possible grâce aux vis d’arrêt dans la limite de 2° à chaque
extrémité.
Description et fonction du bloc à cames et des contacts fin de course
Les cames actionnant les micro-contacts forment un ensemble monobloc
dont les éléments peuvent être réglés indépendamment les uns des autres.
Les cames blanche et noire servent aux contacts fin de course. Les autres
cames sont pour des contacts additionnels optionnels (2 à 4 selon version).
Les cames se manoeuvrent de la façon suivante :
a) Introduire un petit tournevis dans la fente entourée d'une bague de la
même couleur que la came à déplacer,
b) Appuyer légèrement pour libérer la came,
c) Tourner indifféremment dans un sens ou dans l’autre pour amener la
came dans la position recherchée,
d) Relâcher la pression en s’assurant que la tête est remontée en position
d’origine, ce qui verrouille automatiquement la came.
Mode opératoire de réglage des butées mécaniques et du bloc à cames :
a) Desserrer les deux butées mécaniques de 2 tours (1/4 Tour seulement).
b) Amener la vanne en position fermée. Pour les appareils 1/4 Tour, si l'on
arrive en butée mécanique avant d'avoir atteint la fermeture complète de
la vanne, cela signifie que la tolérance de réglage de 2° maximum a été
dépassée ; ne pas tenter de passer outre à cette limite.
c) Régler la position de la came du contact de fin de course "CLOSED".
d) Revisser la butée jusqu’au contact et la desserrer d’un tour et demi ; puis
bloquer la vis de la butée avec le contre-écrou (1/4 Tour uniquement).
Respecter la même procédure pour l’ouverture.
Effectuer une fermeture et une ouverture complète avec la commande
électrique. Il est impératif que l'arrêt du moteur sur fin de course électrique
intervienne avant l'arrivée en butée mécanique.

6. RÉGLAGE DU LIMITEUR DE COUPLE
IMPORTANT : Les microrupteurs limiteurs de couple donnent un contact à
impulsion. En option, il est possible de mémoriser électriquement l’indication
du limiteur d’effort par un système de relais incorporé au servomoteur.
Les servomoteurs BERNARD sont réglés et vérifiés pour la valeur des
couples demandés à la commande. Un réajustement peut s’effectuer si
nécessaire en agissant sur les écrous qui compriment les ressorts du limiteur
de couple. Le couple préréglé peut-être augmenté ou diminué en serrant ou
desserrant les écrous. Nous consulter.
Dans le cas où des valeurs de couple précises n’ont pas été indiquées à la
commande, le jeu de ressorts livré est ajusté à la valeur du couple maximum
que le servomoteur peut fournir (valeur indiquée dans les tableaux
techniques de nos catalogues).
7. POTENTIOMETRE DE RECOPIE DE POSITION (OPTION)
Le système de recopie de position est constitué d'un potentiomètre entraîné
par le bloc cames des fins de course.
Le 0% correspond à une vanne fermée. Le 100% à une vanne ouverte.
Version sur circuit imprimé
Pour monter l'ensemble potentiomètre sur la platine du servomoteur,
emboîtez-le sans l'indicateur de position et vissez-le sur la colonette de
maintien. Revissez l'indicateur de position.
Le réglage du zéro du potentiomètre s'effectue à l'aide de la vis repérée "0%
position".
Mettre le servomoteur en position fermée.
La mesure de résistance s'effectuera entre les bornes 16 et 17.
Tout en maintenant manuellement en position la pignonnerie située juste
sous la plaque marquée "0% position", tourner la vis du potentiomètre
jusqu'à obtenir une valeur de résistance qui dépasse 0 Ohm et augmente
régulièrement puis tourner en sens inverse afin de revenir à une valeur
proche de 0 Ohm.
Mettre le servomoteur en position ouverte et noter la valeur de résistance
pour le 100%.
Revenir en position fermée et vérifier que la valeur du 0% est bien répétable
et proche de 0 Ohm.
Version sur colonette (servomoteur modèle OA)
Pour monter l'ensemble potentiomètre sur la platine du servomoteur, fixer la
colonnette de maintien et engager le pignon d'entraînement du potentiomètre
avec la roue du bloc cames.
Le réglage du zéro du potentiomètre s'effectue à l'aide d'une petite clé en
desserrant l'écrou de maintien afin de pouvoir faire tourner le potentiomètre.
Mettre le servomoteur en position fermée.
La mesure de résistance s'effectuera entre les bornes 16 et 17.
Tourner le potentiomètre jusqu'à obtenir une valeur de résistance qui
dépasse 0 Ohm et augmente régulièrement puis tourner en sens inverse afin
de revenir à une valeur proche de 0 Ohm.
Resserrer l'écrou en maintenant le potentiomètre en position.
Mettre le servomoteur en position ouverte et noter la valeur de résistance
pour le 100%.
Revenir en position fermée et vérifier que la valeur du 0% est bien répétable
et proche de 0 Ohm.
Remarques : Si l'équipement possède 2 potentiomètres, chaque
potentiomètre est réglé indépendamment l'un de l'autre.
Inversion du signal
Pour changer le sens de variation du signal, croiser les fils du potentiomètre

4

au niveau du bornier du servomoteur (exemple : pour un raccordement
16/17/18, inverser 16 et 18).
8. TRANSMETTEUR DE POSITION TYPE TAM (OPTION)
Le TAM transmet à distance une position angulaire. Le signal de sortie est un
courant variant de 0 à 20mA ou de 4 à 20mA, suivant une loi linéaire en
fonction de l'angle de rotation de l'axe d'entrée d'un potentiomètre.
Raccordement électrique
Effectuer le raccordement électrique conformément au schéma fourni avec le
servomoteur. Voir aussi des exemples de branchement typiques ci-dessous.
L'alimentation doit être comprise entre 12 et 32V en courant continu redressé
filtré ou stabilisé et avec une charge maxi admissible précisée dans le tableau.

Adaptation du signal au sens de rotation
Le transmetteur de position TAM qui équipe un servomoteur standard délivre
un signal qui augmente de la position fermée à la position ouverte, le sens
d'ouverture de l'organe entrainé correspondant au sens antihoraire.
Pour que le signal diminue de la position fermée à la position ouverte ou si
l'organe entrainé ouvre dans le sens horaire, le signal peut être inversé en
déplaçant les cavaliers : sens direct 1-3 / 2-4 , sens inverse 1-2 / 3-4.
Réglages
Brancher un milliampèremètre avec ou sans charge pour lire le courant de sortie.
- Le réglage doit toujours commencer par le 0/4mA.
- Amener le servomoteur dans la position qui doit correspondre au signal
0/4mA (en standard c'est la fin de manoeuvre de l'organe entrainé dans le
sens horaire ou position fermée).
- Tout en maintenant manuellement en position la pignonnerie située juste
sous la plaque marquée "0% position", tourner la vis du potentiomètre
jusqu'à atteindre la plage où le courant à sa valeur minimale. Chercher la
zone où le signal augmente régulièrement puis tourner en sens inverse afin
de revenir à la valeur minimale précédemment trouvée. Le potentiomètre est
ainsi calé en début de piste.
- Régler précisément le 0/4 mA grâce à la vis du TAM marquée "0/4mA".
- Amener maintenant le servomoteur dans la position qui doit correspondre
au signal 20mA (en standard c'est la fin de manoeuvre de l'organe entrainé
dans le sens antihoraire ou position ouverte).
- Tourner la vis de réglage repérée "20mA" pour lire exactement sur le
milliampèremètre 20mA.
- Revenir en position fermée et vérifier que la valeur du 0% est bien répétable
et proche de 0/4 mA.

9. ENTRETIEN ET STOCKAGE DES SERVOMOTEURS
Entretien
Si le servomoteur est utilisé en atmosphère particulièrement humide, il est préférable de vérifier une fois par
an si de la condensation ne s’est pas produite à l’intérieur du boîtier comportant les parties électriques. Pour
empêcher cette condensation, les servomoteurs peuvent être équipés en option d’une résistance de
chauffage, ainsi que d’un aérateur permettant une circulation de l’air à l’intérieur du boîtier.
Nos servomoteurs sont graissés pour 100.000 manoeuvres environ. En cas de renouvellement de la graisse
d’origine, utiliser une graisse de qualité au moins équivalente (voir tableau ci-après).
NOTA : Lors du renouvellement de la graisse, veiller à l’extraction totale de la graisse à remplacer.
Caractéristiques générales des graisses (performances de la graisse et non du servomoteur données pour
des conditions de service normales) :
• Température de service : -30°C à +135°C.
• Pénétration ASTM à 25°C : 265 - 295
• Point de goutte : 180°C

Stockage
Un servomoteur est composé d’éléments électriques et d’une partie mécanique lubrifiée à la graisse. Malgré
l’étanchéité de cet ensemble, les risques d’oxydation, de gommage et de grippage peuvent apparaître lors de
la mise en service du servomoteur, si son stockage n’a pas été correctement réalisé.
Servomoteur stocké en magasin
a) Les servomoteurs doivent être stockés sous abri, dans un endroit propre et sec, et protégé des
changements successifs de température. Eviter le stockage à même le sol.
b) Pour les servomoteurs équipés de résistance de chauffage, alimenter celle-ci dans le cas de présence
d’humidité (tension standard 230 Volts, sauf précision particulière à la commande).
c) Vérifier que les bouchons plastiques provisoires des entrées de câble soient bien en place. S’assurer de
la bonne étanchéité des couvercles et des boîtiers renfermant les éléments électriques.
d) Dans le cas de vanne dont la levée de tige est importante, vérifier que le capot de protection est bien
monté sur le servomoteur. Sinon, monter celui-ci avec une pâte à joint.
Servomoteur installé mais en attente de raccordement électrique
Si une longue attente est prévue entre le montage du servomoteur et les travaux de raccordement électrique:
a) S’assurer de la bonne étanchéité des presses-étoupe et des boîtiers électriques,
b) Recouvrir la motorisation d’un film plastique,
c) Pour les servomoteurs équipés de résistance de chauffage, alimenter celle-ci dans le cas de présence
d’humidité (tension standard 230 Volts, sauf précision particulière à la commande).
Stockage des servomoteurs équipés de composants électroniques
Le stockage de long durée de composants électroniques hors tension peut entraîner des risques de mauvais
fonctionnement. Il est donc fortement déconseillé de le pratiquer.
Dans les cas contraire, il y a lieu de faire réviser en usine les cartes électroniques avant mise en service.
Contrôle après stockage
a) Contrôler visuellement l’équipement électrique,
b) Actionner manuellement contacts, boutons, sélecteurs, ... pour en vérifier le bon fonctionnement
mécanique,
c) Procéder à quelques manoeuvres manuelles,
d) Vérifier la bonne consistance de la graisse,
e) Pour les servomoteurs équipés de graisseurs, faire un apport de graisse neuve,
f) Procéder à la mise en service du servomoteur suivant les instructions jointes à chaque appareil.

1. SAFETY INFORMATION
This device complies to current applicable safety standards.
Installation, maintenance and use of this apparatus will have to be done by
skilled and trained staff only.
Please read carefully the whole document prior to mounting and starting-up.
WARNING
For explosionproof actuators, please also read carefully the special
instructions TMS1132 prior to mounting and starting-up
2. ASSEMBLY
Actuator should be secured directly to the valve using proper bolts or via a
proper interface.
After assembly, the actuator can operate in any position. However, cable
glands should not be oriented upwards (loss of water tightness) and the
motor will preferably not be positioned at the bottom (potential internal
condensation trap)
Note 1 : do not handle the actuator by handwheel, it could damage the
gearworm.
Note 2 : if the actuator was delivered mounted on the valve, the basic settings
should have been done. In this case, refer to § 3,4 and 9 only.
Note 3 : see §.9 for details on storage precaution prior to starting-up.
3. HANDWHEEL OPERATION AND DECLUTCHING
In general, the handwheel does not turn during electrical operation. Even if
turning, the solid handwheel does not have any protruding part and therefore
does not present any risk of any kind for the operator. Moreover, for the
actuators with the highest torque, the torque limit system brings an additional
level of protection.
OA models :
These actuators are equipped with a manually declutchable handwheel.
To operate manually the actuator, turn while pulling the handwheel in order to
mechanically engage it.
To declutch the handwheel, just push it back towards the actuator body.
AS100/AS200/AS400/SRA/SRC/ASM models :
These actuators are provided with an automatic declutching handwheel, with
motor drive priority. In order to operate manually the actuator, turn the arrow
of the handwheel clutch button in front of the triangular sign on the housing
(it might be necessary to turn the handwheel by a few degrees to release the
claws). When the motor starts, it returns automatically into declutched
position.
AS100/AS200/AS400/SRA/SRC/ASM

OAP/OA15/ASP/AS50/AS80 models :
Some of these actuators are equipped with declutchable intermediate gears.
By moving the clutch lever, the motor is physically disengaged from the
gears. Once the manual handwheel operation has been completed, do not
forget to clutch the motor back. Otherwise, once started-up, it would run and
heat up until the motor thermal protection switch closes. If repeated, these
conditions can generate a motor breakdown .
4. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS AND PRELIMINARY TESTS
If the actuator is equipped with INTEGRAL, MINIGRAL or MINIGAM
commands, please report to the specific documentation for wiring details.
Otherwise, all components of the actuator are wired to a common terminal
strip. Remove the cover and pass the cables through the cable glands (M20).
Refer to the wiring diagram for details on the terminals numbering system.
Both torque and travel limit switches must be integrated into your control

9

system (see wiring examples) in order to prevent potential damage to the
actuator or valve.
The following points must be checked :
a) Make sure that power supply voltage is in accordance with the data
engraved on the actuator nameplate,
b) Check that all cable glands are correctly tightened,
c) Move the valve manually to an half-open position,
d) Operate an electrical opening and check that the motor rotates in the right
direction. Press manually on the "OPEN" travel limit switch ; the motor
should stop.
In the same way, check that the closing electrical command as well as the
"CLOSED" travel limit switch are working correctly,
e) All models except OA : operate an electrical opening. Press manually on
the "OPEN" torque limit switch ; the motor should stop.
In the same way, operate an electrical closing check that the "CLOSED"
torque limit switch is working correctly,
If any misfunction was detected at this stage, please check the overall wiring.
For safer working conditions, we recommend that the power supply now be
switched off especially if the actuator output max. torque exceeds 300 N.m.
5. SETTING OF MECHANICAL STOPS AND TRAVEL LIMIT SWITCHES
Mechanical stops description and function (1/4 Turn only) :
These items avoid any over-travelling during handwheel operations. The
stops can be positioned either on the actuator itself or on the 1/4 Turn worm
gearbox if any.
Actuators and gears are supplied and tested for a 90° operation. Fine
adjustment of the stop screws position is possible within a limit of ± 2°
maximum.
Travel limit switches description and function :
The cams operating the limit switches are on a cylindrical block which does
not require any disassembly. Each cam can be set independently of the
others. The white and black cams are for open and close travel limits. The
other ones are for optional additional limit switches (2 or 4).
How to operate the cams :
a) Put a screwdriver in the slot of the button encircled by the same color as
the cam to be set,
b) Press lightly to disengage the cam of locked position,
c) By turning the screwdriver rotate the cam to the position in which it can
trip the limit switch,
d) Remove screwdriver and ensure that the button has come back to its
original position, thus locking the cam in chosen place.
Procedure of mechanical stops and travel limit switches setting :
a) Loosen stop screws by 2 turns (1/4 Turn only).
b) Manually drive the valve to the closed position. For the 1/4 Turn devices,
if mechanical stops are reached before the valve closing is completed, it
means that the 2° maximum adjustment tolerance has been exceeded ;
do not try to go beyond this limit.
c) Set the cam of the "CLOSED" travel limit switch.
d) Turn stop screws clockwise to the mechanical contact, reloosen 1.5 turn,
and secure by lock nut (1/4 Turn only).
Proceed in the same way in open position.
Perform complete electrical valve opening and closing operations. It is
mandatory that the motor stops on the travel limit switch and not on the
mechanical stop (check available extra travel to the stop with handwheel).

6. SETTING OF TORQUE LIMIT SWITCHES
IMPORTANT : the torque limit switch design of BERNARD actuators gives a
short duration contact only. On request, relays holding this contact
maintained can be fitted into the actuator.
Actuators are set and tested in accordance with the torque stated on orders.
If no torque is specified, the actuator is supplied with torque springs set to the
maximum output (refer to our catalogue technical datasheets).
If necessary, this torque setting can be readjusted by rotating the nuts which
compress the torque springs. So the torque can be increased or decreased
by tightening or loosening the nuts. Please consult us.
7. POSITION FEEDBACK POTENTIOMETER (OPTION)
The potentiometer used for actuator signal feedback is driven by the travel
cam block system.
The potentiometer has no mechanical stop and has a non-resistive area
(dead zone) at both the beginning and end of track.
0% position corresponds to a closed valve. 100% to an open valve.
Circuit board mounted version
To mount the potentiometer device on the switch plate, clip it without the
position indicator on the camblock and screw it on the support column. Screw
the position indicator back.
Setting of potentiometer zero is achieved thanks to the "0% postion" screw.
Drive the actuator to the closed position.
Resistance value is measured between terminals 16 and 17.
Hold the pinion located just under the plate with the "0% position" marking
while driving the potentiometer screw. Adjust the potentiometer so that the
resistance value exceeds 0 Ohm and regularly increases then turn
backwards to reach a value as close to 0 Ohm as possible.
Drive the actuator to the open position and write down the resistance value
corresponding to the 100% position.
Come back to the closed position and check that, for the 0% position, the
resistance shows a close to zero repeatable value.
On support column mounted version (OA type of actuactors)
To mount the potentiometer device, screw the support column on the
mounting plate and engage the driving pinion into the camblock wheel.
To adjust the potentiometer resistance value, loosen the nut with the wrench
and rotate potentiometer until the signal requested is archieved.
To set the 0%, drive the actuator to the closed position.
Resistance value is measured between terminals 16 and 17.
Rotate the potentiometer so that the resistance value exceeds 0 Ohm and
regularly increases then turn backwards to reach a value as close to 0 Ohm
as possible.
Retighten nut after setting.
Drive the actuator to the open position and write down the resistance value
corresponding to the 100% position.
Come back to the closed position and check that, for the 0% position, the
resistance shows a close to zero repeatable value.
Note : If actuator is equipped with 2 potentiometers, each potentiometer is set
independently of the other.
Signal inversion :
To inverse the signal variation direction, invert potentiometer wires on the
actuator terminal board (e.g. for a connection on 16/17/18, invert 16 and 18).

11

8. "TAM" POSITION TRANSMITTER (OPTION)
The TAM transmitter delivers a 0/4 to 20 mA signal linearly proportional to the
angular position of the valve.
Electric connections
Refer to the wiring diagram supplied with the actuator. See also some typical
wiring examples below.
FIltered or stabilised power supply should be provided within the 12 to 32
VDC range.
Maximum admissible ohmic load values are given in the table :
Energy Supply Max. admissible
DC (VOLT)
load Ohm
12
150
24
750
30
1050

Signal direction inversion
The TAM transmitter, when supplied with a standard actuator, provides a
signal that rise from close position to open position, the standard opening
direction being counter-clockwise.
If an opposite signal variation is required, simply move 2 jumpers on the
board near the potentiometer.
Direct signal
: jumpers on 1-3 and 2-4
Reversed signal : jumpers on 1-2 and 3-4
Settings
Connect a milliampermeter at the place of burden.
- Always start by adjusting the 0/4mA.
- Drive actuator to the position corresponding to the 0/4 mA (closed in
standard),
- Hold the pinion located just under the plate with the "0% position" marking
while driving the potentiometer screw. Adjust the potentiometer so that the
output current reaches a minimum value. Turn backwards until the current
value regularly increases then turn backwards again and stop as soon as the
minimum value determined here above has been reached.
The potentiometer is then positioned at the very beginning of its track.
- Then, use the TAM adjustment screw marked as "0/4mA" to adjust the
current to a value as close to the 0/4 mA as possible.
- Drive actuator to the position corresponding to the 20 mA (open in
standard),
- Turn the screw marked "20mA" in order to read exactly 20 mA on the
milliampermeter.
- Come back to the closed position and check that, for the 0% position, the
signal current shows a close to 0/4 mA and repeatable value.

9. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
Maintenance
If actuators is correctly mounted and sealed, no special maintenance is required. Check once a year function
of motor and make sure that switch compartment is condensation free. If environment is humid, we
recommend installation of an anti-condensation heater resistance and/or breathers, thus protecting electric
parts from alteration.
Actuators are lubricated with grease for about 100.000 operations. If the grease requires to be renewed, use
one of the products listed hereafter.
NOTE : When renewing the grease, first remove the integrality of the old one.
General characteristics of lubricant ; grease specifications only (not actuator) given for standard duty
conditions :
• Grease duty temperature : -30°C to +135°C,
• Penetration ASTM at +25°C : 265/295,
• Drop point : +180°C.

Storage
The actuators includes electric equipment as well as grease lubricated gear stages. In spite of the
weatherproof enclosure, oxydising, jamming and other alterations are possible if actuator is not correctly
stored.
Actuators stored in a stock room
a) The actuators should be stored under a shelter, in a clean and dry place and protected from wide
temperature variations. Avoid placing the actuators directly on the floor.
b) For actuators equipped with an heating resistance, it is recommended to connect and power supply it
especially if the storage area is humid (standard 230 VAC, unless other specification).
c) Check that the temporary sealing plugs of the cable entries are well in place. Make sure that the covers
and the boxes are well closed to ensure weatherproof sealing.
d) In the case of a valve with rising stem having a long stroke, verify that the protection tube is well mounted
on the actuator. If not, fix it with sealing paste.
Actuators installed but waiting for electrical connection
If a long period of time is expected between the actuator mounting and the electrical wiring works :
a) Visually check the tightness of electrical box cover and cable glands.
b) Cover the device with a plastic protective film.
c) For actuators equipped with an heating resistance, it is recommended to connect and power supply it
especially if the storage area is humid (standard 230 VAC, unless other specification).
Storage of actuators equipped with electronic components:
Long term storage of electronic components which are not in service increases the malfunction risk. This
practice is therefore highly unadvisable.
If a long term storage is absolutely necessary, we strongly recommend a revision of the electronic boards in
our factory before actuator usage.
Control after storage :
a) Visually check the electric equipment,
b) Operate manually the microswitches, buttons, selectors, etc., to insure the correct mechanical function,
c) Operate apparatus manually,
d) Verify the correct grease consistency,
e) For actuators equipped with grease nipple, remember to complete with some fresh grease.

• Please read all documents carefully before assembling and putting into operation Strictly
follow the instructions of this operating manual.
• Only trained personnel should perform the installation, electrical connection and
operational work.
• Please follow the technical operating data and instructions attached to the actuator.
• Please secure movable parts against unintended contact Failings during the set-up can
cause injuries. The manufacturer explicitly states that this is the user's responsibility.
• Do not modify the actuator. This can lead to additional hazards and will result in nonliability.
• Do not block the motor during stroke movement.
• Never overload the motor; stroke force and duty cycle cannot exceed the levels indicated
on the name plate. Disregarding the warnings can cause serious damage to the actuator.

• Before working on electrical lines, ensure that the electricity supply is disrupted and
secured against unintended turn-on.
• Connect the actuator only to a circuit with working protective ground wire.
• It is imperative to read the respective electrical connection diagrams.
• Do not touch the actuator during operation, it can reach temperatures of up to 90°C, failure
to abide may result in burns.

1.1 Conditions of use
Only use the actuator to operate machinery, apparatuses and equipment where direct or indirect
endangerment of persons is eliminated and the ambient temperature is -20°C up to 60°C.
The transport of passengers is not permitted without first consulting the manufacturer (or
responsible representative).
If direct or indirect endangerment of persons cannot be eliminated, additional mandatory measures
(cover, barrier, etc.) need to be implemented minimizing the risk potential accordingly.

D8-20-108e1/11.06

Do not use the actuator in dangerously explosive areas. Our actuators are certified according to
directive 94 / 9 / EG (ATEX 95) and have the following symbols (optional):

2.0 Accessories
The installation and operating instructions include the following:
1. Brochure
2. Technical description
3. Electrical connection diagram
It is attached to the drive in a protective envelope when supplied.
The documentation is available in German and English.
3.0 Installation, attaching parts and electrical start-up
3.1 Installation and attaching parts
Always wear protective footwear during transport and assembly. A falling actuator can cause
injuries. Assemble the actuator without rigging. Do not push or strike when assembling attaching
parts.
The strength category of the fixing bolts must be at least 8.8.

3.2 Electrical start-up
• Before start-up ensure that the electricity supply is disrupted and secured against
unintended turn-on.
• Connect the actuator only to a circuit with working protective ground wire.
• Carefully read the wiring diagram and pay attention to the correct operating voltage (see
name plate).
• All external cables have to be connected according to the wiring diagram. The actuator can
be destroyed, if limit or thermal motor protection switches are not connected. If the
actuators thermal protection responds, it must be totally switched off with allowance to cool
down (Break contact element).
Attention!
When temperatures decline the actuator will automatically resume operation (bimetal).
• Determine the lifting stroke direction by using cyclic operation mode. To reverse the lifting
direction switch two supply lead phases.
• IP 54 is the standard protection class for all Framo linear actuators.

4.0 Important notices
4.1 Piston rod blocking

4.2 Special safety equipment
By using a cushioned connection head or a force dependent shut-off (see options), the actuator can
achieve a high safety standard. Generally, enough safety features should be included when
choosing the actuator size.

4.3 Ambient temperatures, condensate
Consult the manufacturer if the actuator operates in environmental temperatures below 0°C.
Delayed start-up performance must be expected with minus temperatures. In the minus
temperature range suitable connection cables have to be used.
Constantly changing temperatures facilitate condensate formation. This is also the case when used
outside of buildings or in high humid environments. The default application of condensation holes (ø
2 mm) by specifying the respective installation position (combined with humidification seal coating
for rotor and stator) causes significant improvement.
Attention!
The condensation holes will impact the protection class (IP65).
For low temperature applications constant unit heating is necessary. Please contact the
manufacturer for details.
Do not stop the actuator by reversing the mains polarity, this will shorten the durability significantly.

4.4 Operating temperature
Consult the manufacturer if the actuator's temperature exceeds 90°C despite correct use. A defect
could be possible.

4.6 Lubrication loss:
If a defect should cause a loss of lubrication, the floors will be slippery as grease might spill
on the floor! Caution, danger of injury!
Under certain conditions an adverse effect on the environment is possible.

4.7 Self-locking ability
The self-locking ability depends on spindle pitch, the surface quality of the spindle/nut, the sliding
speed, lubrication and temperature. We distinguish between dynamic (out of motion) and static
(stationary) self-locking.
Vibrations can eliminate self-locking.
A certain number of factors such as lubrication, sliding speed and load can also create such
favorable sliding characteristics that the self-locking is negatively impacted. A theoretically selflocking spindle cannot therefore replace a brake. Therefore it is impossible to assume guarantee
obligations regarding self-locking.
Important: Self-locking is not intended to satisfy security-related characteristics!

Linear actuator Mini
Technical description
1.Design
Framo linear actuators are electromechanical drives which convert the rotating motion of the integrated electric
motor into a linear forward or backward motion.
Framo actuators are primarily designed for industrial use. They are particularly robust and equipped with many
safety standards. All installation positions are permissible.
Special technical features are:
Complete stainless steel housing (except Mini 3) which protects all mechanical and electrical parts (including
terminal board). Only the connecting cables and the movable piston rod needs to be retracted.
2. Piston rod
The stainless steel piston rod is ground (except for Mini 3).
The piston rod is not locked to prevent torsion. The customer must provide a locking facility with the part that is
moved.
3. Motors
The built-in electric motor has a hollow rotor shaft which permits the lifting spindle and the piston rod to be guided
through it and therefore allows particularly short dimensions.
Depending on the size, the motors can be delivered with three-phase, single-phase or direct current (special voltage
on request). With the exception of the direct current motor, all motors are fitted with a thermal protection switch
(trigger temperature +125°C. The motor winding is ISO class B. Standard protection class: IP 54. The three-phase
motors can be connected to 3 x 230 or 3 x 400 V AC.
3.1 DC actuators
Separate power tables are available for DC actuators.
If the DC motor operates as an individual unit, a suitable EMC interference suppressor shall be provided close to the
motor terminal drive. For unit installation, the unit has to be suppressed.
For this reason direct interference elimination is not always necessary and the interference suppressor is not
located in the drive, therefore the customer has to plan for this possible requirement.
4. Duty cycle
The indicated duty cycles relate to a maximum load time of 10 minutes, a maximum ambient temperature of 40°C
and a maximum installation height of 1000 m above sea level.
5. Gears, stroke lengths
Implementation without gears or the installation of 1- to 3-stage planetary gears allows the selection of different
stroke speeds for every type (0.5 to 181 mm/s). Depending on the type, special travel lengths of 10 to 800 mm are
possible.
6. Spindle

D8-20-102e/01.06

Framo Mini actuators with a rolled acme lead screw are predominantly dynamically self-locking.

Linear actuator Mini
7. Limit switches
A limit switch is incorporated for each stroke-end position. The Mini 01 up to Mini 3 are also equipped with a safety
limit switch (forced separator) which protects the actuator against destruction in case of faulty wiring or if a limit switch
fails. The limit switches are installed in a fixed position and cannot be adjusted.
8. Brake
At stroke speeds of more than 20 mm/s, three-phase and single-phase actuators should be equipped with a brake
because of their tendency to overrun (DC actuators see performance table notes).
We also recommend that a brake is installed if the drive has a spindle that is not self-locking and if the demands on
disconnection accuracy are exacting. A magnetic-electric single-disc brake is available for all sizes.
9. Connection cables
The standard actuators are supplied with external connection cables (1m length). Longer or special cables are
available upon request, e.g. for low temperatures or with shielding.
10. Fixing options, connection heads
Flange, foot and attachment bolts can be supplied in addition to standard attachment configuration A (attachment
eye to eye). The drive can also be delivered with different connection heads (see dimensional drawings).
11. Paint coating (only Mini 3)
The standard drive housing (tubular steel) is sprayed with a special acrylic resin lacquer (RAL 7031, bluish grey)
which is also suitable as primer for other lacquers (artificial or acrylic).
12. Reliability and quality assurance
Every actuator is produced according to order and tested under nominal load conditions. A proven modular system
makes it possible to produce a large number of different models and to adapt them to customer requirements. All
individual parts and sub-assemblies are generally kept in stock.
13. Conditions of use

D8-20-103e/01.06

The conditions of actuator use prohibit the movement of loads whereby persons can be directly or
indirectly endangered.
The application of actuators in equipment intended to transport passengers is not permitted without first
consulting the manufacturer (or responsible representative).
In this context we refer to EU Machinery Directive 98 / 37 / EC and the Act on Technical Equipment
(Equipment Safety Act) where the user is responsible for the implementation of "protective
guards/barriers" to prevent touching (crushing hazard) during operation.
This also applies for the application of actuators with suspended loads where persons can be
endangered.

14. Special safety instructions
It is possible to bring the actuator to a higher safety standard by using the following options:
1. cushioned connection head
2. force-dependent shut-off
Generally, enough safety features should be included when choosing the actuator size.
15. Self-locking ability
The self-locking ability depends on the spindle pitch, the surface quality of the spindle/nut, the sliding
speed, lubrication and temperature. We distinguish between dynamic (out of motion) and static
(stationary) self-locking.
Vibrations can eliminate self-locking. A certain number of factors such as lubrication, sliding speed and
load can also create such favorable sliding characteristics that the self-locking is negatively influenced.
A theoretically self-locking spindle cannot therefore replace a brake. Therefore it is impossible to
assume guarantee obligations regarding self-locking.
Important: Self-locking is not intended to satisfy security-related characteristics!
To minimize additional dangers, observe the usual care for technical products.

16. Options
The following options allow individual applications:
1. Force-dependent shut-off (as protection for block movement or if a preset stroke force is exceeded)
2. Cushioned connecting head (e.g. approaching a permanent stop)
3. Adjustable connection head (for small changes to the attachment position)
4. Adjusting ring on piston rod (for simple retracting position adjustment)
5. Brake (for precise switch-off and non-self-locking actuators)
6. Mounting angles in combination with fixing version D (attachment bolts)
7. Integrated helical potentiometer (for travel monitoring and/or position control)
8. Rotary pulse encoder (for digital pulse processing for position and speed control)
9. Different fixing possibilities (installation conditions can be taken into account)
10. Humidification seal coating of rotor and stator and/or condensation hole (if there is danger of condensation).
11. Explosion proof according to directive 94 / 9 / EG (ATEX 95)

D8-20-104e/01.06

12. Connection cable motor and/or helical potentiometer shielded (for frequency converter operation etc.)

Description
Principally the air oil cooler consists of a
cooler matrix, an AC-motor, a fan, a fan
housing and a fan guard. Depending on
electric motor size, the air oil cooler is
equipped with a motor bracket.
Different motor types are used on the
LAC-series of air oil cooler. Small
cooler fans are fitted with a single phase
or three phase outer-rotor motor. The fan
on larger air oil coolers is fitted with a
standard three phase asynchronous
inner-rotor, which meets the IEC 72 and
EN 60034 requirements.
The electrical motor should be connected
to the electricity supply system
according to instructions. See “Electrical
connection”. Connect the cooler matrix
to the hydraulic system using hydraulic
hoses.

Manufacturers type plate
The type plate of the air oil cooler is
fitted on the fan housing. See Figure 2.
The type plate contains the following
information:
A Part number
B Designation
C Serial number
D Date of delivery (year and week, e.g.
0418, i.e. year 04 and week 18)
Replace a damaged or missing type plate
as soon as possible.

If the air oil cooler is fitted with a
thermo contact, the fan will start
automatically when the preset temperature has been reached.
Acoustic pressure could reach
50-90 dB(A) at 1 m distance depending
on air oil cooler size.
For information such as capacity,
nominal voltage and protection standard
etc., see marking sign on the motor.
Temperature for the electric motor:
-20 °C - +40 °C.
Refer to Technical specification for
maximum permitted static working
pressure, maximum permitted dynamic
pressure, maximum permitted fluid
temperature in the cooler matrix, etc.

Mounting

Caution
Risk of bodily injury. To prevent
physical harm when lifting the unit,
ensure correct lifting technique.
Make sure that all lifting devices are
free from damage and approved for
the weight of the air oil cooler.

Precaution
Risk of bodily harm. Make sure that
the air oil cooler is securely fixed.
The air oil cooler can be mounted in any
position. However, an upright installation standing on its feet is recommended.
A free space corresponding to a minimum of half the height of the matrix (A)
should be available in front of and
behind the air oil cooler to allow for
good air flow, i.e. optimal cooling
capacity as well as low acoustic power
level. See Figure 3.

Air oil coolers as from size 033 can
accommodate lifting eyes. Lifting eyes
are available from Oiltech/Olaer on
request.

Inappropriate location of the air oil
cooler could generate increased noise
level and reduce cooling capacity.
Consult your local Olaer office.

Connection of cooler matrix
Connect the cooler matrix using flexible
hydraulic hoses both to and from the
cooler. Make sure that all connections
and hoses are sized according to the
system pressure, flow, temperature and
fluid.
Connect the cooler matrix as illustrated
below. See Figure 4 or Figure 5.
A Inlet.
B Outlet for standard and S by-pass,
single-pass.
C Outlet for T by-pass, two-pass.
D Thermo contact connection.
Dimensions on connections are cooler
matrix size dependent.
Maximum permitted fluid temperature in
the cooler matrix: 120 °C.
Flow chart, see Figure 6.
Important
The cooler matrix is designed for
maximum dynamic working pressure
14 bar. When the cooler is installed
in a return line, there should be no
pressure spikes. If this is not
possible, an offline cooling system
should be used.

Electrical connection
Danger
Risk of electrical shock. All
electrical connections must be
made by a qualified electrician!
Prior to connecting the motor to the
electricity supply system, make sure the
information on the motor label

corresponds to the line voltage and
frequency. The motor should be installed
according to general and electrical safety
rules and should be made by a qualified
electrician.
Precaution
Be careful when connecting.
Improperly made connections,
damaged cables, etc. could cause
components to become live or
result in the incorrect direction of
rotation of the electric motor.
• Connection of a single phase outerrotor motor: Connect the live to L
(blue), neutral to N (black) and
ground to PE (yellow/green). See
Figure 7.
• Connection of three phase outerrotor motor. See Figure 8 or
Figure 9.
• Connection of three phase innerrotor motor. See Figure 10.
Example for motor:
220-240 V D/380-420 V Y.
The direction of rotation of three phase
motors is altered by changing connection
of two phases.
If the cooler is fitted with a thermo
contact, use a relay if the current load
exceeds the maximum load for the
thermo contact.
Note!

A motor overload protection is
recommended.

Note!

Some motors are fitted with
plugged holes, which can be
used for draining condensed
water.

hi-flo®
Extended Surface Multi-Pocket Air Filters

The Camfil Farr Hi-Flo® offers high efficiency
ASHRAE grade filtration to address today's indoor air
quality problems. The Hi-Flo can remove
contaminants such as fumes, smoke, bacteria, fungi,
and virus-bearing droplet nuclei. The Hi-Flo is also
the filter of choice for the removal of nuisance
contaminants such as pollens, paper dust, and other
atmospheric impurities. Hi-Flos are available in
efficiencies of MERV 9, MERV 11, MERV 13 and
MERV 14 when evaluated per ASHRAE Standard
52.2-1999.

High Lofted Air Laid Media

Extended surface filter
with controlled media
spacing (CMS) for longer
life and consistent
lifetime high efficiency

The Camfil Farr Hi-Flo incorporates high lofted air
laid micro fiber glass media to ensure reliable
efficiency throughout the life of the filter. Its small
fiber diameter and uniform lofting results in
consistent sub-micron particle capture and a low
resistance to airflow throughout the life of the filter. A
synthetic micro mesh media backing ensures media
protection and support in turbulent or varying
airflows. The Hi-Flo's particle capture performance
and filter configuration are unaffected by dust loading
and/or humidity.

Controlled Media Spacing
Camfil Farr is the only
manufacturer to offer controlled
media spacing to minimize pocketto-pocket contact, ensure uniform
airflow and allow full utilization of
the media area. The effect results
in the lowest life cycle product cost
for your facility. Your selection of
the length and number of pockets
should be based upon the required
airflow through the system.

Values are Minimum Efficiency Reporting Values (MERVs)
when evaluated per ASHRAE Standard 52.2-1999.

A 5-star rating indicates that this filter performs in the top 20% of all products of similar
construction in the HVAC industry. Factors of consideration include maintained efficiency, energy usage and resistance to air flow. Detailed evaluation information is
available from your Camfil Farr sales outlet or on the web at www.camfilfarr.com.

Camfil Farr—clean air solutions

Controlled Media Spacing (continued)

Leak-Free Filter Performance

Typical bag filters allow pocket-to-pocket contact,
causing loss of effective media area, non-uniform
airflow and an excessive pressure drop over the
life of the filter. Camfil Farr’s variable length pocket
stitching, through the use of continuous thread
filaments, helps keep as many as 12 individual
pockets in a perfectly aligned V-shaped
configuration. This tapered pocket effect equalizes
the media entrance and exiting areas. Air travels
evenly through the filter at an even media velocity
for uniform dust loading and a maintained low
pressure drop. The benefits include:

Every Camfil Farr Hi-Flo includes a gasket on the
vertical edge of the filter header. In a side-access
housing, filters are mated header-to-header. The gasket
prevents air bypass and ensures that the air filter will
clean all of the air moving through the system.



Increased filter life



Reduced maintenance costs



Minimized fan horsepower requirements



Reduced energy expenditures.

Stitch Sealant & Adhesive Bonding
Camfil Farr completely seals pocket stitching to
eliminate the possibility of
air leakage through the
stitching penetrations.
This unique sealant
maintains a flexibility that
is unaffected by varying
airflows. The media is
also bonded around the
pocket retainers to ensure a strong pocket-toretainer seal and minimizes potential for pocket
failure.
Sure-Clench® Crimp
Each galvanized steel pocket retainer is fastened
with Camfil Farr’s exclusive Sure‑Clench crimp,
creating a positive lock between pockets and
eliminating the possibility of air bypass. The pocket
retainers include rolled edges to prevent damage
to the media area and minimize sharp edges that
may create a hazard to filter installers. Four
retainer clips assist in securing pocket retainers to
the header frame.
Galvanized Steel Header
A box-channel header, of one-piece corrosion
resistant galvanized steel, includes rolled edges to
prevent damage to
the filter media. When
combined with the
Sure-Clench Crimp
and galvanized
pocket retainers, a
rigid and durable
assembly is created.
Camfil Farr
manufactures the Hi-Flo to be capable of
withstanding up to 5.0” w.g. in normal HVAC
application.

Performance
Hi-Flo filters are manufactured from microfine glass
fibers for consistent and long-term high efficiency
performance. They are available in fractional
efficiencies from 40% to 95% on particles as small as
0.3 micron in size. MERV values range from 9 to 14
when evaluated under ASHRAE Standard 52.2-1999.
Configurations for any Application
Camfil Farr Hi-Flos are available in a variety of
configurations to suit your air movement requirements.
Common configurations include from 3 to 12 pockets,
depths of 15" to 36", and up to 129 square feet of
effective media area.
When selecting a Hi-Flo for your system, you should
select a filter with the greatest effective media area
within the airflow parameters and space limitations for
your system. This will ensure a long filter life and a
consistent low resistance to airflow over the life of the
filter. Fewer filter changes will be required, thus
reducing replacement, labor and disposal costs. An
additional benefit includes reduced system horsepower
requirements, thus lowering the facility’s energy
expenditure.
Lowest Life Cycle Cost
All of these components combine for the lowest life
cycle cost, the lowest average pressure drop (energy
savings), and consistent high efficiency particulate
filtration throughout the life of the filter.

Cambridge-Style Header

The Hi-Flo is also available in an Underwriters
Laboratories UL Class 1 configuration. It is important to
note that both classes of filters will burn when attacked
by flames, and both will self-extinguish when clean.
Consult factory for pricing and availability.

Standard Hi-Flos include a 0.88” header for filter
installation into a nominal 1” deep filter track. The
Cambridge Air Filter Company manufactured sideaccess housings that required a 1.12” header to fit in a
nominal 1¼” filter track. To order Hi-Flos for these
housings, add a ‘W’ to your model number or seek
factory guidance.

UL Class 1 - Air filters which, when clean, do not
contribute fuel when attacked by flame and emit only
negligible amounts of smoke.
UL Class 2 - Air filters which, when clean, burn
moderately when attacked by flame, or emit moderate
amounts of smoke, or both.

Synthetic Media Option
Camfil Farr also offers an electrostatically enhanced
synthetic media extended surface pocket filter.
Available in efficiencies of MERV 9, MERV 11, MERV
13 and MERV 14, the Camfil Farr S-Flo offers an
additional economical choice for less demanding
applications. Consult Camfil Farr Bulletin 1205-0602.

Industrial Thermometers
Details of Design
Casings
Aluminum, V-shaped, completely polished, gold-coloured anodized (or silvercoloured upon request). Numerals of
reading scale printed on the right side.
Printing black-colored for easy readability. Adjustable to any desired viewing
position and locked by brass nut, spanner size 22 mm. Angle thermometers (90
degrees) have a grooved adapter piece
with set screw. Advantage: When mounting the thermometer, it is not necessary
to turn the casing.

Glass Inserts (Capillaries)
Capillary tube of solid glass, bar-shaped,
prismatic (optic enlargement of the
column), diameter approx. 6mm, oval
opening, with yellow background for
mercury and white background for blue
fluid column. Calibration is deeply burnt,
in black, thus being absolutely resistant.
The main graduations, which correspond
with the printing on the casing, are especially clearly outlined.

Capillary Fluid
For standard executions from -60° to
+200° C, blue fluid and red fluid, respectively, for -60° C (code „Fü“). For
temperatures of more than +200° C, only
mercury columns (code „Hg“) are possible. Upon request, thermometers can be
delivered with mercury filling from -30° C
onwards.

Immersion Tubes (Pockets)
As a standard, manufactured of brass
(code „Ms“) for temperatures up to 300°
C, for temperatures of more than 300° C
made of steel (Code „St“). Seawater resistant alloys are available upon request
(special alloy SoMs 59, SoMs 76 or
„CuNiS30Fe“). For corrosive alkalis or
acids, material 1.4571 (stainless steel)
or other resistant kinds of steel are available. With immersion tube type „B“, diameter is 10 mm, thickness 1 mm.

Accuracy
About 1 % of maximum scale value,
for thermometers with mercury column.
The accuracy of thermometers with an
alcoholic fluid meets DIN 16 195 requirements and, consequently, corresponds
with the requirements for local reading
thermometers.

SIEMENS Compressors
Surge Controller SUC-3

Function

: To give alarm (stop the drive motor)
in case of surging.

Sensor

: Inductive sensor.

Mounting

: In the compressor inlet housing.

A:

Pressure direction at normal operation.

B:

Pressure direction at surging.

The surge indicator is mounted vertically on the compressor inlet.
At normal operation a small steel disc is forced down (away from the inductive sensor) by the
vacuum in the inlet housing.
At surging the direction of the pressure is reversed, this causes the steel disc to approach the
inductive sensor, which then gives alarm.
