SmartAir Master is switched on for the first time.

You will be asked if another Analog sensor is used on

Analog Input Channel 2
Press 'YES' to contiue. If used you will also be prompted to set the scaling of
this sensor between 4mA and 20mA.

You will then be asked if the line pressure sensor is the

original one, or if an alternative is being used.

Next, you will need to enter the volume of your network.
Then a maximum pressure warning figure.
You’ll then be asked to define the upper and lower limits
of the normal working pressure range
The ‘Cut-out point’ is the upper limit.
DL102AA - May 09
Installation & Commissioning 2
This can range between 1.3 bar (actual pressure) to 0.3
bar below the Maximum Pressure Warning value from
the last screen.
In this instance the pressure warning on the previous
screen was set to 16 Bar. Therefore the maximum
allowable Cut-out point would be 15.7 Bar
The ‘Cut-in point’ is the lower limit.
This can range between a minimum of 0.3 bar (actual
pressure) to a maximum of 0.3 bar below the Cut-out
point from the last screen.
The Cut-out point on the last screen, in this example,
was set to 10 Bar so the maximum allowable Cut-in
point is 9.7 Bar.
Then you will be asked to set a minimum pressure
warning value.
The highest this figure can be is 0.3 bar below the
Cut-in point entered on the last screen. We used the
value 9.5 bar, so it's shown here as 9.2 Bar.

You will be prompted with a quick reminder screen to
check:-
• Correct Polarity of connections.
• Power Supply has been switched on.
• Compressors have the correct addresses.
• Baud Rate is set to 9600
Press ‘NEXT’ when ready.

You will be asked to set the priorities of each

compressor in the Air Station.
The Priority options are:-
• High: High Priority
• Norm: Normal - one level below "High"
• Low: One level below "Norm"
• Off: Compressor won’t be used

You have now finished entering the commissioning

details.
Depending on the number of compressors this process
normally takes less than 5 minutes.

This indicates that Compressor 1 has a

warning message for the user and should be
checked immediately. This warning will not
cause a shutdown.

This indicates that Compressor 1 has

triggered an Alert message and has shut
down. The compressor needs immediate
attention.

This indicates that there has been a

communication problem with Compressor 2
(not necessarily a problem with the
compressor itself) and the cables and
connections to this compressor need to be

currently off line and being serviced. This also
disconnects SmartAir Master so it can be switched off
without causing an Alert message.
