2.7.1One Flash - Final Separator Warning
The compressor unit is equipped with a final separator. To prevent fatigue failure of this pressure vessel, the PLC program monitors the pressurization, de-pressurization cycles of the separator and will
first issue a Warning, and then an Alarm. The program is set up to provide the warning at 90% of the
maximum recommended number of cycles. The program is configured to reflect these values when it is
built. When the warning is illuminated, the unit will still continue to function properly, but will prompt
the operator to contact Bauer Compressors for making arrangements to replace the Final Separator.
When the Alarm level has been achieved, the compressor will no longer function, and will require the
replacement of the Final Separator . Once the Final Separator is repla ced, the unit can be re-activated by
making adjustments to the PLC. Please contact Bauer Product Support for detailed instructions on this
procedure.

ImVT 120 II Mini Verticus
^WARNING
Do not attempt to override the Separator Shutdown Warning.
This feature is provided to protect personnel from injury or death.
2.7.2Two Flashes - Securus Monitor (Optional)
The compressor purification system may be equipped with an optional Securus® Electronic Moisture
Monitor. This consists of a control module and cable connected to the purification chamber. It functions
as a capacitive sensor, sensing the moisture in the purified air. When the chemicals in the purification
cartridges have reached the point where they retain a set level of moisture, the Securus® monitor will
issue a warning via the amber Warning Light. On a Securus® Warning condition, the compressor will
run normally, the PLC I7 lamp will illuminate, and the warning code will flash. This warning is meant
to prompt the operator to schedule replacement of the purification cartridge.
2.8Alarms
The red Warning Light located on the control panel flashes warning codes with a 0.5 second on, 0.5
second off sequence with a distinct pause between sequences.In addition the light will illuminate on initial start up for a period of 5 seconds, to serve as a lamp test function. The lamp is a LED lamp for long
trouble free life.
2.8.1One Flash - Compressor High Temperature
The compressor high temperature switch is located on the compressor block, third, fourth or fifth stage
head, depending on model. Under normal operating conditions, the switch is closed and the I1 lamp on
the PLC is illuminated. On a high temperature condition, the compressor will shutdown, the I1 lamp
will extinguish, and the alarm code will flash.
2.8.2Two Flashes - Compressor Low Oil Pressure
The compressor oil pressure switch is located on the back of the compressor block, mounted with the
oil pressure gauge. The switch is N.O., Normally Open, and is connected to the PLC on terminal I2.
During startup of the compressor, the oil pressure switch is bypassed for a period of 45 seconds to allow
the oil pressure to stabilize, then the switch will close. Then should the compressor lose oil pressure, the
compressor will shutdown, the I2 lamp will extinguish, and the alarm code will flash.
2.8.3Three Flashes - Compressor Overtime
The compressor has an overtime function, where if the compressor runs continuously for 5 hours, then
the compressor will shutdown, and the alarm code will flash. This is done to secure the equipment if it
were to be started and left unattended.
2.8.4Four Flashes - Securus Monitor
®
The compressor purification system is equipped with a Securus
Electronic Moisture Monitor. This
consists of a control module and cable connected to the purification chamber. It functions as a capacitive sensor, sensing the moisture in the purified air. When the chemicals in the purification cartridge has

®
the red Alarm Light. On a Securus
ALARM condition, the compressor will shutdown, the PLC I5
®
monitor will issue an alarm via
lamp will be illuminated, and the alarm code will flash.
The compressor system may be equipped with an optional Carbon Monoxide Monitor. This consists of
an electronic module that samples the compressed air supply. The unit will provide a continuous display of the CO level in PPM, parts per million. If the CO level becomes excessively high, then the red
alarm light on the face of the monitor will illuminate. At the same time the alarm relay in the CO Monitor which is connected to the PLC I4 will generate a CO ALARM condition.The compressor will shutdown, the I4 lamp will illuminate, and the alarm code will flash.The unit should be calibrated with a
test gas monthly. Refer to the chapter titled CO Monitor for this procedure.
2.8.6Six Flashes - Final Separator Shutdown
^WARNING
Do not attempt to override the Final Separator Shutdown. This feature is
provided to protect operating personnel from injury or death.
The high pressure-breathing compressor is equipped with a final separator. To prevent fatigue failure of
this vessel, the PLC program monitors the pressurization, de-pressurization cycles of the separator and
will issue a Warning, and then later an Alarm. The program is set up to provide a warning at 90% of the
maximum recommended number of cycles. The program is configured to reflect these values when it is
built. When the warning is illuminated, the unit will still continue to function properly, but will prompt
the operator to contact Bauer Compressors for making arrangements to replace the separator. When the
Alarm level has been achieved, the compressor will no longer function, and will require the replacement of the separator . Once this is accomplished, the unit can be re-activated by making adjustments to
the PLC. Please contact Bauer Product Support for detailed instructions

The optional compressor condensate level float switch is located in the condensate collection tank.
Under normal operating conditions, the switch is open and the I6 lamp on the PLC is off. On a high
condensate level the float switch will close, the compressor will shutdown, the PLC I6 lamp will illuminate, and the alarm code will flash. The operator should drain the condensate from the tank and resume
operation of the equipment.
NOTICE
The compressor condensate contains some oil, and accordingly, should be disposed of in accordance with state and local regulations.
2.8.8On Steady - Motor Starter Overload Trip
The compressor overload relay is located in the electrical enclosure, directly beneath the motor starter.
The relay is Normally Open and is not connected to the PLC, but is connected directly to the red Alarm
Light. Under normal operating conditions, the switch is open. On an Overload Trip of the motor, the
compressor will shutdown, and the Alarm Light will be illuminated steady (no flash sequence).

CHAPTER 3:MAINTENANCE AND PARTS
3.1Compressor Blocks - IK120 II
3.1.1Description
The IK120 II compressors are used to compress air up to 5000 psi. The compressor is a three cylinder,
three stage air cooled, oil lubricated reciprocating compressor. The 3rd stage cylinder is lubricated by
means of the forced feed lubrication system, while the other cylinders are splash lubricated. The cylinders are arranged in a “W” configuration, the 1st stage is in the center, 2nd stage on the right and 3rd
stage on the left looking from the filter side. The compressor block are particularly suitable for continuous operation because of it’s rugged design and corrosion resistant intermediate filter and cooler assemblies.

3.1.3Air Flow Diagram
Refer to Figure 3-2. The air is drawn in through intake filter (1), compressed to the final pressure in cylinders (2, 3, 4,) and cooled by intercoolers (5, 6) and aftercooler (7). The safety valves (8,9, 10) protect
from overpressure in the individual stages. The compressed air is filtered by intermediate separator (11)
and oil and water separator assembly (12). The intermediate separator (11) and oil and water separator
(12) are drained by condensate valves (14). An Automatic Condensate Drain system is available as an
option. The pressure maintaining valve (13) ensures that pressure is built up in the purification system
from the start of delivery , thus achieving constant optimum purification. The parts in the shaded box are
part of the Purification System which may be a factory installed option.

3.1.4Compressor Lubrication
3.1.4.1 Description
Refer to Figure 3-3. The compressor is provided with forced-feed lubrication. The oil pressure is produced by a low speed gear pump (1). The oil pressure is approximately 73 psi (5 bar).
The oil pump (1) is coupled to and driven by the crankshaft. It pumps oil through the oil line filter (2)
and a minimum pressure valve (3) to the 3rd stage cylinder. The oil is then distributed by the guide piston (4) of the 3rd stage and lubricates all the moving parts of the compressor block.

The minimum pressure valve (3) allows for oil pressure indication at a pressure gauge and/or electronic
oil pressure monitoring.

3.1.4.2 Type of Oil
For proper care and maintenance of the compressor, using the correct oil is of vital importance. Due to
the thermal load on the compressor only high quality oil should be used. You are recommended to
restrict oils to those which have been approved by us and are listed in the compressor block specifications found in Chapter 1.

Figure 3-6Removing the Oil Filter CoverFigure 3-7Replacing the Oil Filter
3.1.4.3 Oil Level Check
Check the oil level at the sight gauge on either side of the compressor block (See Figure 3-4) every day
before putting the compressor into operation. Oil level must be between the minimum and maximum
notches. Oil level must never be below the minimum mark as this will cause severe damage due to lack
of lubrication. Oil level must also not exceed the maximum mark as this will cause excessive lubrication of the compressor and may result in a carbon buildup on the valves.
June 11, 2009Page 15
ImVT 120 II Mini Verticus
3.1.4.4 Oil Change
1. Run the compressor until it is warm then shut it down.
2. (See Figure 3-5). Remove the cap (1) from the oil filler neck.
3. Drain oil while it is still warm by means of the oil drain tap.
^CAUTION
Replace the oil filter every oil change. Failure to do so will cause the filter to clog and the bypass valve to
open resulting in unfiltered oil being circulated and possible damage to the compressor.
4. (See Figure 3-6). Remove the two bolts (1) with a 13 mm wrench. Remove the oil filter cover (2)
5. (See Figure 3-7). Remove the oil filter (1) from the rubber gasket at the cover.
6. Mount a new filter element (P/N N25326) and replace and fasten oil filter cover.
7. Slowly pour new oil through the oil filler neck until the level reaches the maximum mark on the
sight gauge.
8. Wait a few minutes and adjust the oil level if necessary before putting the unit into operation.
3.1.5Venting the Oil Pump
Venting of the Oil Pump may be necessary if after maintenance work, oil pressure is low or not built up
after starting the unit, or if the unit should have been running backwards because of a wrong phase
sequence.
1. Open all the condensate drain valves to avoid building up pressure.
2. Start the compressor.
3. See Figure 3-7. Loosen the cap screw and plug (2) and wait until oil pours out free of air bubbles.
4. Tighten the cap screw and plug.
5. Stop compressor, close all condensate drain valves and check oil level.

3.1.7Intermediate Separator
An intermediate separator is mounted on the compressor between the 2nd and 3rd stage. This separator
is designed to remove oil and water which accumulates due to the cooling of the medium after the compression process. Separation is achieved by means of centrifugal action provided by a vortex plate (1)

^WARNING
The rapid depressurizing and repressurizing of the intermediate separator during condensate draining subjects it to metallurgical stresses. To prevent catastrophic failure with the possibility of damage, injury or
death the intermediate separator must be replaced after 85,000 load cycles. A load cycle equals one
depressurization- repressurization. The Bauer recommended frequency of condensate draining is every
fifteen minutes and is a balance between maximizing the life of the oil and water separator chamber and
maintaining the quality of the delivered air.
3.1.7.1 Maintenance
The Intermediate Separator P/N 081799 requires no maintenance.

3.1.8Cooling
3.1.8.1 General
The cylinders of the compressor, the intermediate coolers and the after cooler are air cooled. For this
purpose the compressor is equipped with a fanwheel which draws the cooling air through the unit. The
fanwheel is driven by the drive motor V-belt and is also used as the compressor flywheel.
3.1.9Valves and Heads
3.1.9.1 Functional Description
The valve heads of the individual stages form the top part of the cylinders. (See Figure 3-10). The
intake and pressure valves are fitted inside the valve heads. Note that the valves are operated by the
flow of the medium. On the intake stroke, the intake valves open and the medium flows into the cylinders. At the start of the pressure stroke the intake valve closes and the medium opens the pressure valve.

3.2Three Stage Automatic Condensate Drain System
3.2.1Description
The automatic condensate drain system operates electropneumatically and is comprised of the following:
• An electrically controlled solenoid valve.
• A pneumatically operated condensate drain valve
• A condensate manifold
• A condensate collection system
The automatic condensate drain system drains the intermediate separator and the oil and water separa-
tor every 15 minutes during operation. Additionally the automatic condensate drain system unloads the
compressor during the starting phase and drains these filters at shutdown of the compressor unit.

4. Condensate Drain Valve
3.2.1.1 Normal Operation
The normally open solenoid valve (1) controls the condensate draining of the intermediate separator
(2). The normally open condensate drain valve (4) controls the condensate draining of the oil and water
separator. The two valves (1 & 4) are connected together in cascade mode. This means that the operational state (open or closed) of the solenoid valve (1) causes the same state in the condensate drain
valve (4) to occur. The control air for operating the condensate drain valve (4) is taken from the intermediate separator (2).
As the compressor is started, the solenoid valve (1) is electrically energized and closes. This allows the
pressure to buildup in the intermediate separator. This pressure buildup results in control air pressing
the piston into the valve seat, closing the condensate drain valve (4).
3.2.1.2 Condensate Drain
Every 15 minutes the timer deenergizes the solenoid valve (1) for approximately 10 seconds. The solenoid valve (1) opens and drains the condensation from the intermediate separator (2). This causes a
pressure loss in the intermediate separator and the control air for the condensate drain valve (4). As the
pressure of the control air is dropping, the piston of the condensate drain valve (4) becomes unloaded
and the control air is momentarily vented through a relief port. Then the piston of the drain valve is
fully raised by pressure from the final separator, and the condensate is drained.
3.2.1.3 Start Unloading
The unloading of the compressor during the starting phase is possible because of the lack of control air
immediately after starting the unit. As the unit is switched on the solenoid valve (1) is energized and
Page 46 1st Edition, Rev . 0 Chg. 10
MNL-0408
closes. After the compressor has attained nominal speed, pressure builds in the intermediate separator
and the control air closes the condensate drain valve (4). Once the valve closes, the compressor delivers
to the consuming device.
3.2.1.4 Standstill Drainage
At compressor shutdown, the solenoid valve (1) is deenergized and opens. This drains the condensate
and relieves the pressure in the intermediate filter (2). This action in turn removes the control air form
the condensate drain valve which opens and drains and relieves the pressure in the oil and water separator.
^CAUTION
The condensate drain interval is adjusted at the factory. If the regular operating time of the compressor
unit is less than the drain cycle, adjust the timing relay accordingly to ensure regular draining of the oil
and water separator. If the compressor is shut of f be fore the f irst drain cycle is completed, the timing r elay
would be reset each time causing the drain cycle to be started again. The condensate drain cycle would
never be completed, which could result in flooding of the separator and damage to the connected systems.
3.2.2ACD Maintenance
The condensate drain valves are provided with manual drain valves to verify correct operation of the
automatic system.
The automatic condensate drain system must be serviced once a week as follows:
1. Open all manual drain valves one after the other.
2. Observe the drainage of condensation.
a. If the system drains more than 2 ounces of liquid per stage, either the system or the corresponding
condensate drain valve is not working properly.
b. Find the fault and remedy accordingly.
3. If little or no condensation emerges, the automatic system is operating properly.
4. The condensate collection tank should be emptied regularly. Due care must be taken to ensure that
any oil which is drained with the condensation is disposed of properly. Check local, state and federal regulations.

3.3Condensate Collector
During compression the water content of the air is also compressed. The resulting water is removed
after each compression stage and is collected through the automatic condensate drain system.
This water, additionally, has a small oil content. The separation of oil and water is not possible through
simple methods; therefore the condensate has to be completely removed. It is most practical to collect
this condensate in special containers and dispose of it entirely.
For these compressor units a metal housing and tank assembly is used. A float level switch is also
included. The condensate is drained from the tank assembly by the manual drain valve into a separate
container for proper disposal.

CHAPTER 5:AIR PROCESSING SYSTEM
5.1General
The purpose of all Bauer air processing systems is to remove oil and water from the compressed air
stream before final delivery. For this reason Bauer air processing systems are installed immediately
before the compressed air delivery point.
^WARNING
Air Processing System cartridges do not remove carbon monoxide and therefore must not be used in
breathing air applications
5.1.1General Purification System Procedures
1. Keep an accurate record of operating hours to ensure exact attention to maintenance intervals
2. Change all cartridges before reactivating a compressor unit that has been out of service more than
three months. Leave cartridges in the unit as long as it is out of service.
3. While out of service keep all condensate drain valves closed. Maintain a pressure of 700 to 1,100
psi (50 to 80 bar) within the system to prevent moisture from entering the compressor and air processing system.
5.1.2Chamber Safety Bore
The chambers in all Bauer air processing systems are designed to prevent pressurization if the cartridge is
missing, not seated properly or damaged (See Figure 5-1). Without a cartridge properly in place the
safety bore is not sealed, the air escapes into the atmosphere, no pressure can be built up and thus it is
ensured that unfiltered air is not supplied to the consuming device. If air is escaping from the safety bore
remove and check cartridge. If necessary replace the cartridge or O-rings.

5.1.3Manual Condensate Drainage
The condensate must be drained from the oil and water separator before changing any cartridge, before
beginning each filling procedure and in the absence of an Automatic Condensate Drain System, every fifteen minutes during the filling procedure. This is done by slowly opening the condensate drain valves.
They are opened approximately 1/3 of a turn to the left and held open until the condensate is completely
drained. The condensate drain valves close by spring pressure but if necessary may be tightened by hand
to ensure they are completely air tight.

5.3Component Description
5.3.1Oil and Water Separator
^WARNING
The rapid depressurizing and repressurizing of the oil and water separator during condensate draining subjects it to metallurgical stresses. To prevent catastrophic failure with the possibility of damage, injury or
death the oil and water separator (P/N 079416) must be replaced after a predetermined number of cycles.
One load cycle equals one pressurization plus one depressurization.
Units operating between 3,000 and 5,000 psi = 130,000 load cycles (32,500 hours of operation)
Units operating between 5,000 and 6,000 psi = 55,000 load cycles (13,750 hours of operation
The BAUER recommended frequency of condensate draining is every fifteen minutes and is a balance
between maximizing the life of the separator chamber and maintaining the quality of the delivered air.
The air leaving the final stage is cooled in the aftercooler to approximately 18 - 27°F (10 -15°C) above
ambient temperature and then enters the oil and water separator. The oil and water separator works by
means of a sintered metal filter which separates liquid oil and water particles from the compressed air .

5.3.2Chamber
Each chamber is made up of an anodized aluminum housing and a filtering cartridge. There are two
general types of filtering cartridges, drying or purifying. The cartridge type is determined by the ingredients packed in the cartridge. The chamber is named after the type of cartridge it contains, i.e. dryer
chamber or purification chamber.
5.3.3Cartridge
5.3.3.1 Cartridge Construction
The cartridge casing, top and bottom are aluminum and are packed with one or more of the following.
1. A catalyst to convert carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide.
2. Activated carbon which absorbs oil vapors effecting taste and odor.
3. Molecular sieve to absorb oil and water.
Figure 5-6Cartridge
5.3.3.2 Cartridge Handling
1. Never open the protective packaging a cartridge comes in prior to its actual use. The highly sensitive filter materials will absorb moisture from the atmosphere becoming saturated and useless.
2. Used cartridges must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.

5.3.4Condensate Drain Valve
A manually operated valve used for maintenance and before start-up to drain the condensed liquids
from the coalescing oil and water separator.
5.3.5Check Valves
Valves allowing compressed air to flow in only one direction. One is used to maintain pressure in the
chamber when the compressor is not operating. The other check valve prevents back-flow from filled
storage cylinders or tanks.
5.3.6Bleed Valve
A manually operated valve used to release the pressure in the chamber before maintenance.
5.3.7Pressure Maintaining Valve
The pressure maintaining valve ensures that pressure is built up in the system from the start of delivery,
thus achieving constant optimum purification. It also assures proper working conditions for the final
stage of compression. The Pressure Maintaining Valve is preset at the factory. The nominal setting is
2,000 PSI.
5.3.8Safety Valve
The safety valve is located on the coalescing oil and water separator and acts as the safety valve for the
final stage of the compressor.
5.3.9Securus® Electronic Moisture Monitor System
The Securus® Electronic Moisture Monitor System is a factory installed option which warns the operator in advance of expiration of the life of the cartridges. The Securus® Indicator receives signals concerning the condition of the drying agent inside the Securus® cartridge from the attached sensors and
supplies the appropriate control signals whenever the preset threshold values have been reached.
5.3.9.1 Securus® Cartridge
The Securus® Cartridge is packed with a catalyst which converts carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide,
activated carbon which absorbs oil vapors, molecular sieve which absorbs oil and water and the sensor
components of the Securus® Electronic Moisture Monitor System.

CHAPTER 6:COMPRESSOR UNIT DRIVE
6.1Vertical Self Tensioning
The compressor is driven by the drive motor through a V-belt. The direction of rotation, as seen facing
the flywheel, is counterclockwise. Observe the arrow on the compressor block. Check the V-belt regularly for damage and wear. See Paragraph 6.2.2. Replace if necessary.

6. Electric motor
7. Swinging motor mount
6.2.1Check the Flywheel and Sheave.
Before a new drive belt is installed, the condition of the flywheel and the sheave should be checked. A
dirty or rusty sheave impairs the drive’s efficiency and abrades the cover of the belt, which results in
premature failure. A worn sheave shorten belt life as much as 50%. If the groove is worn to the point
where the belt bottoms, slippage may result and the belts may burn. If the side walls are “dished out,”
the bottom shoulder ruins the belt prematurely by wearing off the bottom corners.
6.2.2Check the V-belt
Check the V-belt regularly for damage and wear. Replace if necessary. V-belt tension is adjusted automatically by the weight of the motor, which is mounted on a hinged motor plate.

CHAPTER 7:ELECTRICAL PANEL ASSEMBLY
7.1Overview
Figure 7-1Electrical Panel Assembly
The Electrical Panel Assembly uses a micro Programmable Logic Controller, Motor Starter, transformer and switches manufactured by Telemecanique. This controller model is called TWIDO. The
control system will provide logical control and safety shutdowns for the compressor equipment. All
necessary time delays, counters, shutdowns, sequencing and safety features are incorporated into a proprietary program permanently saved into PLC memory using EEPROM technology . There are normally
six PLC programs used in this Electrical Panel Assembly, based on the pressure and use of the compressor. The program version used can be identified by the white sticker on the face of the PLC. The
panel is pre-wired and fused for the horsepower and voltage of the compressor. Active Power mainly
uses 460 volt, 3 phase, 60 Hz supply.
NOTICE
Other configurations and options are also available by special order. Some components and programs
listed may be altered by these special orders.
June 11, 2009Page 71
ImVT 120 II Mini Verticus
The basic panel components consist of a 16 I/O PLC Controller, Motor Starter with Overload Relay,
Control Power Transformer with fuses, Alarm and Warning Lights, Compressor Control Switch, Hourmeter, Emergency Stop Switch, Starter Reset, Audible Alarm, terminal strip for wire connections and
wire harness.
To run the compressor, the Emergency Stop Switch must be pulled out and the Compressor Control
Switch must be in the ON position; at this point, the switch illuminates green and the compressor sys-
tem is ready and able to operate. If the pressure in the system drops to approximately 4500 psi1, the air
pressure switch will close, and the compressor will start. All other functions of the compressor are automatic. When the air pressure has increased, and the pressure switch opens, then the compressor will
shutdown. All of these functions are accomplished through the use of a Programmable Logic Controller. When use of the equipment is complete, the Compressor Control Switch should be placed in the Of f
position.
7.2Options
This panel will electrically support all commonly available compressor options offered by Bauer Compressors. These include:
• The Securus® Electronic Moisture Monitoring System to monitor the air, and provide first a warning,
and later an alarm, to prompt the operator to replace the high pressure purification cartridges.
• The Carbon Monoxide Monitor is used to continuously sample the air that is compressed for use in
the system. Again, the unit will alarm and shut down the compressor if unsafe levels are detected. The
Carbon Monoxide Monitor also comes with a Calibration Kit to ensure accurate readings are being
taken.
• The Condensate High Level Alarm will alarm and shutdown the compressor when the condensate
level becomes too high. This Alarm is activated by a float switch in the ACD Condensate Collection
Tank. This alarm prompts the operator to drain the condensate and prevents spilled condensate.
7.3AC Power Requirements
The panel will need to be supplied with the appropriate voltage(460), phase(3), and frequency(60Hz)
power to ensure proper operation. Wiring and conduit selection must be in accordance with all national,
state and local codes. The customer is responsible for providing a disconnection means and protection
from instantaneous short circuit.The pre-wired panel voltage and phase is written on a label (See Figure
7-2) on the inside of the electrical panel door. In this example shown, the panel is wired for 460 volt,
three phase. If a schematic for your machine is not found inside the electrical panel, then please call
Bauer Compressors Product Support Group for a replacement. Please have the Serial number of the
compressor available.
1. The pressure mentioned is only an example; the switch differential is approximately 10% of the set-point, and is not adjustable.

7.5.1One Flash - Final Separator Warning
The high pressure-breathing compressor is equipped with a final separator. This is a stainless steel vessel, approximately 3-3/4 inch diameter, located on the purification panel, beside the compressor. To
prevent fatigue failure of this vessel, the PLC program monitors the pressurization / de-pressurization
cycles of this separator and will issue a Warning, and then later an Alarm function.
The program is set up for a 90% warning and a 100% shutdown alarm for this counter feature. The program would be configured to reflect the following values when it is built.
Table 7-4: Final Separator Warning and Shutdown Cycle Count
When the warning is illuminated, the unit will still continue to function properly, but will prompt the
operator to contact Bauer Compressors for making arrangements to replace the separator. When the
Alarm level has been achieved, the compressor will no longer function, and will require the replacement of the separator . When this is accomplished, the unit can be re-activated by making adjustments to
the PLC. Please contact Bauer Product Support for detailed instructions.
