1.3 Elektronikon regulator for GA Pack /

Full-feature
The control system consists of an electronic regulator and a
control panel.
Automatic restart after voltage failure

For compressors leaving the factory, this function is made
inactive. If desired, the function can be activated. Consult
Atlas Copco.
Warning
1.3.1 Regulator (E1-Fig. 1.2)

Controlling the compressor
The regulator maintains the net pressure between
programmable limits by automatically loading and unloading
the compressor. A number of programmable settings, e.g. the
unloading and loading pressures, the minimum stop time and
the maximum number of motor starts are taken into account.
The regulator stops the compressor whenever possible to
reduce the power consumption and restarts it automatically
when the net pressure decreases. In case the expected stopping
period is too short, the compressor is kept running to prevent
too-short standstill periods.
Warning
If activated and provided the module was in the

automatic operation mode, the compressor will
automatically restart if the supply voltage to the
module is restored within a programmed time
period.
The power recovery time (the period within which
the voltage must be restored to have an automatic
restart) can be set between 1 and 254 seconds or
to symbol 00!. If the power recovery time is set
to 00!, the compressor will always restart after
a voltage failure, no matter how long it takes to
restore the voltage.
1.3.2 Control panel (Fig. 1.11)
A number of time-based automatic start/stop

commands may be programmed. 3) Take into
account that a start command will be executed
(if programmed and activated), even after
manually stopping the compressor.

11 4
Protecting the compressor

Shut-down
If the compressor element outlet temperature exceeds the
programmed shut-down level, the compressor will be stopped.
This will be indicated on the control panel (Fig. 1.11). The
compressor will also be stopped in case of overload of the
drive motor.

S3
12
Shut-down warning
If the compressor element outlet temperature exceeds a
programmed value below the shut-down level, this will also
be indicated to warn the operator before the shut-down level
is reached.
Service warning
The regulator continuously monitors the oil, oil filter, oil
separator and air filter.
Each input is compared to programmed limits. If these limits
are exceeded, a message will appear on the display (Fig. 1.11)
to warn the operator to replace the indicated component. The
number of the service kit will appear on the display.
Warning
A warning message also appears if the dewpoint temperature
exceeds the warning level. 4)

1.5 Air dryer (Fig. 1.7)

GA Full-feature and GA Standard Pack with integrated dryer
are provided with a dryer which removes moisture from the
compressed air.
1.5.1 Compressed air circuit
Compressed air enters heat exchanger (33) and is cooled by
the outgoing, dried air. Moisture in the incoming air starts to
condense. The air then flows through heat exchanger/
evaporator (31) where the refrigerant evaporates causing the
air to be further cooled to close to the evaporating temperature
of the refrigerant. More water in the air condenses. The cold
air then flows through separator (25) where all the condensate
is separated from the air. The is automatically drained. The
cold, dried air flows through heat exchanger (33), where it is
warmed up by the incoming air.
1.5.2 Refrigerant circuit
Compressor (38) delivers high-pressure refrigerant gas which
flows through condenser (29) where most of the refrigerant
condenses. The liquid flows through liquid refrigerant dryer/
filter (32) to capillary tube (27). The refrigerant leaves the
capillary tube at evaporating pressure. The refrigerant enters
evaporator (31) where it withdraws heat from the compressed
air by further evaporation at constant pressure. The heated
refrigerant leaves the evaporator and is sucked in by the
compressor.
By-pass valve (30) regulates the refrigerant flow. Fan (37) is
switched on or off by switch (39) depending on the loading
degree of the refrigerant circuit.
The compressor motor has a built-in thermic protection. In
case the compressor motor stops after tripping of the thermic
protection, it may take up to 2 hours to cool down the motor
windings.
Footnotes chapter 1
1) If an oil separator is desired for Pack and Full-feature
compressors equipped with an energy recovery kit, a freestanding
OSD must be applied.

Ventilation: the inlet grids and ventilation fan should

be installed in such a way that any recirculation of
cooling air to the compressor or dryer is avoided. The
air velocity to the grids must be limited to 5 m/s. The
maximum allowable pressure drop over the cooling air
ducts is 30 Pa. If this pressure drop is exceeded, a fan
is needed at the outlet of the cooling air ducts. The
maximum air temperature at the compressor intake
opening is 40 degrees celsius (minimum 0 degrees
celsius).
Position of mains cable entry.
Optional DD-PD filters can be integrated

A DD filter for general-purpose filtration (filter
traps solid particles down to 1 micron with max.
oil carry-over of 0.5 mg/m).
A high-efficiency PD filter (traps solid particles
down to 0.01 micron with max. oil carry-over of
0.01 mg/m). A PD filter must be installed
downstream of a DD filter.

2.4 Electrical connections

General
-
The installation must include an isolating switch near to

and visible from the compressor. Make sure that this
switch is open to isolate the compressor from the mains
before carrying out any connection.
See section 2.3 for the size of the electric cables.
The installation must be earthed and protected against short
circuits by fuses in each phase. See section 7.2.
The electrical connections must correspond to the local
codes.
The indications on the data plate of the drive motor must
correspond to the mains supply voltage and frequency.
Check the setting of the overload relay. See section 7.2.

See also Figs. 1.15/1.16.
2920 1425 00
For compressors with voltage transformer, check that the

connections at the primary side of the transformer correspond
to the mains voltage.
For compressors without voltage transformer, check the
connection of wire (2-Fig. 1.16):
- either towards the neutral terminal (N on strip 1X2) in
case of a 3 x 400 V plus neutral mains
- or towards terminal (L1 on strip 1X2) in case of a 3 x 230
V mains
For GA Standard Pack with integrated dryer, the voltage to
the dryer is supplied over the contacts of relay (K11), which
close when the compressor is started.
The voltage supply to the dryer must be single-phase 230
V. The voltage may be branched off directly from the mains
supply or via an optional voltage transformer (T3), see Figs.

Remote starting and stopping,

- Connect a start/stop button between terminals 30 and 31
of terminal strip (1X1-Fig. 1.10).
- Bridge terminals 30 and 34 of strip (1X1): the outlet
pressure is still sensed by pressure transducer (PT20),
resulting in loading and unloading of the compressor at
the pressures programmed in the electronic regulator (if
the terminals are not bridged, the compressor is switched
out of automatic load/unload operation and remains running
unloaded).
3.1.2 User manual (GA Pack / Full-feature only)

8 Instructions for use of air receiver

1. This vessel can contain pressurized air; be aware of its potential danger in case of misuse.
2. This vessel shall only be used as compressed air/oil separator and be operated within the specified limits as mentioned on
the data plate.
3. No alterations shall be made to this vessel by welding, drilling or other methods of mechanical work without written
permission of the manufacturer.
4. Original bolts have to be used after opening for inspection. The maximum torque has to be taken into consideration: for
M12 bolts 73 Nm (+/- 18), for M16 bolts 185 Nm (+/- 45).
5. Pressure and temperature of this vessel must be clearly indicated.
6. The safety valve must correspond with pressure surges of 1.1 times the maximum allowable operating pressure. It should
guarantee that the pressure will not permanently exceed the maximum allowable operating pressure of the vessel.
7. Use only oil as specified by the manufacturer.
8. This vessel has been designed and built to guarantee an operational lifetime in excess of 20 years and an infinite number of
pressure load cycles. Therefore, there is no intrinsic need for in service inspection of the vessel when used within the
design limits and in its intended application. However, national legislation may require in service inspection.
