Important Function Keys:
Auto restart ON: Switches On the compressor automatically after a power
failure. The internal timer counts the power Off period and the period when
power resumes. The compressor starts after elapsing the set time by this
function, ensuring the compressor availability immediately after a power failure.
On the screen A will be displayed and the Auto lamp is On, indicating that the
compressor can be automatically started. If it doesnt, M (manual) will be
displayed. This mode indicates that a manual start is required after power failure.
Local: The compressor is switched On/ Off through the start and stop buttons
in the controller.
Remote: The compressor is switched On/Off only through Digital input (Remote),
and cannot be operated through the controller push buttons.
DCS : The compressor is operated only through modbus.
In Remote and DCS modes, the compressor can be stopped through the
Emergency stop. The Auto LED will glow, in both these modes, indicating that
the compressor can be automatically started.
Unload mode: This key verifies the functions of the compressor with out loading.
If this mode is selected, the relay out put (load / unload) will be de energized.
During this mode, the compressor runs continuously in Unload mode. If the
function is disabled, then the compressor operates as per the pressure set in
the controller.
Load pressure & unload pressure: The user can adjust these values within
the limits of the factory. The value is set at a minimum load pressure of 4 bar.
The maximum unload pressure is set as per the indication on the compressor
name plate. The minimum differential is 0.5 bar.

Once the pressure scheduler is selected, PS blinks on the screen. To

acknowledge this, press START button. When pressed, the compressor starts
and stops as per the pressure scheduler. The start / stop keys are not activated
in this mode, after the user acknowledges it.
The controller is designed to accommodate changes in the schedule in between
periods. It avoids the necessity of marking changes in schedules in an order.
For example, consider the two periods: Monday schedule (1-4) and Tuesday
schedule (5-8). If the user wants to make changes to the Monday schedule, he
can enter the changes in the 9 schedule (that follows after the Tuesday schedule).

4.3.1 Calibration
Select the parameter needed for calibration using the %, %keys. Then Press
Enter to calibrate.
Discharge Pressure/ Discharge Temperature/ Sump Pressure Calibration
Run the compressor. Measure the value using a standard and recently calibrated
meter, when the value is stable. Enter the meter reading in the set value field
displayed on the Neuron II. Set Value should not exceed +/- 1 bar and +/- 10 C
the actual value.
Pt 100 Calibration
Measure the value using a standard and recently calibrated meter, when the
dew point/ ambient temperature is stable. Enter the meter reading in the set
value field displayed on the Neuron II. Set Value should not exceed +/- 3 C the
actual value.
Note:
Calibration should be done when the compressor is switched Off , and ensure
the digital outputs (relay terminals) are disconnected from the controller.
Calibration for pressure should be done for the pressure sensor at 8 bar (in bar
only), and at 100 Deg C (in Centigrade only).
(3.3k resistor=100Deg C)
Analog Output 1 & 2
Calibration for analog output is done for two values: one at zero and the other
at 8.0 bar / 80 degree C. These values are set by connecting a Variable Resistor
(TRIM POT) to the analog input channel. Measure the analog output value (can
be viewed in the DCS/VFD / or any master unit where this output is connected).
Enter this value in set pressure:

The clock setting of the controller is not changed, if used in India. When used
overseas, the time is set according to the local timings, at the time of
commissioning
4.3.6 Self Test
Self Test for testing the Controller Display, Mimic Leds, Keys, Input/Output,
Memory & Communication Ports working.
Follow the instructions displayed on the screen.

Warning
Self-Test should be conducted only after disconnecting the compressor from
the controller. (Use connect power supply X01 3 pin connector) DO NOT perform
self-test when the controller is connected to the compressor. Doing so will cause
severe damage to the compressor.

This mode is enabled, if dryer is part of the compressor. The dryer is switched
on and off through the controller, provided the compressor is switched On.
When the compressor is On, dryer is switched On; and the dryer is switched
Off when the compressor is on Off mode. The time interval between the stop
and start operations is decided by dryer delay time setting, which enables the
safe operation of dryer and compressor.

Analog output

DCS Port

5.1 Analog output

Two channels are available for analog output. The first channel will output the
current discharge pressure value from 0.0 -16.0 bar, converted from 1 - 5V.
The Second channel is programmable. User can select any one of the following
menu: Operator/ Machine/ Mode/ Analog output
a. Dis. Temperature

0 -160 C, converted from 1 - 5V

b. Sump Pressure

0 - 16.0 bar, converted from 1 - 5V

c. Pt100 Temperature

-65 - 95 C, converted from 1 - 5V

Note: Analog output will be 0V, in case of probe failure.

5.2 DCS Port
DCS port can be of Modbus RTU type to interface to Generic DCS system or
SCADA type to interface to ELGI SCADA software.
User can select the Port type in menu Operator/ Machine/ DCS Port. The
ID, Baud Rate, Parity, data Length, Stop Bit are also user settable. The Modbus
data table will be provided based on the request (A CD contains address table
and activation key)

Standby mode: In unload mode, if the pressure exceeds the set load pressure
in the preset standby time, and is less than number of start/stop cycles during
that time, the compressor goes into the standby mode ( or the compressor
stops as per the stop sequence).
In standby mode, if the pressure drops below the set load pressure, the
compressor starts automatically as per the start sequence.
