Section 1 • Installation Recommendations
Proper Wiring Sizing
• Always size wire gauges as specied by the National
Electrical Code (NEC) for electronic control devices.
• For improved noise immunity, install one size larger
wire gauge than the NEC requirement to assure ample current-carrying capability.
• Never under size wire gauges.
Voltage Source
• Transformers block a large percentage of
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). It is recom-
mended that the Vilter MicroVission should be isolated with its own control transformer for the most
reliable operation. See Figure 1-1: MicroVission with
Individual Transformer.
• Avoid connecting MicroVission to breaker panels
and central control transformers if possible as the
MicroVission is exposed to large amounts of EMI
emitted from the other devices connected to the sec-
ondary terminals of the transformer. See Figure 1-2:
EMI and MicroVission.

Section 1 • Installation Recommendations
Grounding
• Ensure that you run continuous grounds from the
utility ground to the MicroVission. See Figure 1-3:
Ground Wiring.
• Grounds must be copper or aluminum wire.
• Never use conduit grounds.
Mixing Voltages
• Separate different voltages from each other and
separate AC from DC, see Figure 1-4: Mixed Voltage
Wiring.
• Each voltage level must be run in separate conduit:
o 460 VAC
o 230 VAC
o 120 VAC
o 24 VAC
o DC Signals
• If your installation site has wireways or conduit trays,
you must install dividers between the different
voltages.

Section 1 • Installation Recommendations
Best Practices
• Do:
• Keep AC wires away from circuit boards.
• Always run conduit into the bottom or sides of an enclosure.
• Use a water-tight conduit tting to keep water from entering the enclosure, if the conduit must be placed
in the top of an enclosure.
• The MicroVission is supplied with pre-punched conduit holes for your use.
• Don’t:
• Do not run wires through the MicroVission enclosure that are not related to the compressor control.
• Do not add relays, timers, transformers, etc. In the MicroVission enclosure without rst checking with
VilterTM.
• Do not run conduit into the top of an enclosure.
• Do not run refrigerant tubing inside the enclosure.
• Do not drill metal enclosures without taking proper precautions to protect circuit boards from damage.
Transformer, Fusing and UPS Sizing
The following information can be used to help determine the power requirements for a MicroVission panel. This information can be helpful for sizing transformers or UPS devices that will power the MicroVission panel.
• The MicroVission panel contains a single power supply
(1) 24VDC @ 4.5 A (108 watts)
• The DC loads that are attached to the power supply are divided approximately as follows;
1. Each press transducer +24VDC @ 30 mA each (x4) = 120 mA
2. Each RTD (negligible), (the hardware applies a 25 mA pulsed signal, which is not constant).
For estimating purposes, assume:
A total sum constant draw for total RTDs used 50 mA
3. Each 4-20mA transmitter for an RTD = 10 mA
• So, for 120V fusing – consider 110 watts for the power supply, PLUS add any additional 120V loads that are con-
nected to the digital outputs + relays added to the panel.
1. Each unloader solenoid = 0.125 amps AC load
2. Each small solenoid = 50 watts (estimate – read the nameplate for exact load rating)
3. Large solenoids (water, hot gas) = 100 watts (estimate– read nameplate for exact load rating)
4. Each small pilot relay = 25 watts (estimate– read the nameplate for exact load rating)
5. Add load values for panel heaters if used, and heat trace tape if used

nology with a Linux operating system. For hardware architecture, see Figure 2-1.
The MicroVission has the following attributes
• Low power, Industrial rated ARM CPU
• 10” XGA, high resolution LCD display. (Outdoor view-
able LCD optional)
• 8-wire touch screen operator interface
• Flexible and expandable I/O
• NEMA-4 enclosure (NEMA-4X optional)
• Industrial temperature range design
Figure 2-1. Hardware Architecture Overview
Multi-I/O (Input/Output) Board
This section explains about the Multi-IO board con-
taining Digital Input/Output and Analog Input/Output
signals.
The Multi-IO board converts signals generated by the
MicroVission program into 120VAC signals as well as detect external 120VAC inputs to signal the MicroVission
program. All the signals shown by connectors 1, 2, 3 and
4 are digital, in that there are only two states available
either ON or OFF. See board layout, Figure 2-2.
MicroVission Controller • Operation and Service Manual • Emerson • 35391MV 1.0
The Multi-IO board converts the varying DC signals into a
signal that the MicroVission program can interpret. The
signals are considered analog because the input DC signal can vary from the minimum value to the maximum
value. All the signals shown by connectors 6, 7, 8, 9 and
10 are analog inputs. This board can also convert signals
from the MicroVission program into a current ranging
from 4mA to 20mA. These are called analog outputs and
shown by connectors 12 and 13. For more information
about the board layout see Figure 2-2.

Multi-IO Board Digital I/O
For information about each Digital I/O signal, see Table
2-1: Digital I/O.
Oil Return Solenoid Output
• When state of Low Oil Level Digital Input is found
Active Low, this output is energized. When state
of Low Oil Level Digital Input is changed to Active
High from Active Low state, this output will be deenergized only once Oil Recovery Solenoid Shutoff
Delay Timer is Lapsed.
Unloader (#1 to #4) Output
• These outputs are active only when the compressor
is running. When the MicroVission determines that
the compressor should increase or decrease capac-
ity, these outputs will get de-energized or energized
respectively in specic sequence as per Compressor
Type set in Conguration screen. See Appendix A,
Unloaders section for more details.

MicroVission Controller • Operation and Service Manual • Emerson • 35391MV 1.0
Trip Output
• This output is energized when the system has no
Trips. If a trip is issued, the output de-energizes and
stays de-energized until the trip condition is cleared.
Oil Crank Case Heater Output
• This output is active and energized when the oil
temperature is lower than the oil temperature set-
point. It is de-energized when the oil temperature is
higher than the oil temperature setpoint.
Compressor Start Output
• When the MicroVission signals the compressor to start, this output is energized. When the
MicroVission signals the compressor to stop, this
output is de-energized.
Section 2 • Hardware Architecture
Remote Ready Output
• This output is energized when the MicroVission
panel is enabled for remote control. If the compres-
sor parameter does not satisfy start conditions or is
placed into the manual stop position, this output is
de-energized.
Setpoint 1/2 Input
• This input will be monitored when the MicroVission
panel is enabled for remote control. When this input
is de-energized, the MicroVission will use Setpoint
1 as Control Setpoint for modulating the compressor capacity. When this input is energized, the
MicroVission will use Setpoint 2 as Control Setpoint
for modulating the compressor capacity. For using
Setpoint 2, the operator should make sure that No.
of Controllers is set to 2 in Conguration screen.
Remote Decrease Input
• This input will be monitored when the MicroVission
panel is enabled for remote control. When this input
is energized, the MicroVission will unload compressor by one step.
Remote Increase Input
• This input will be monitored when the MicroVission
panel is enabled for remote control. When this input
is energized, the MicroVission will load compressor
by one step.
Remote Start/Stop Input
• This input will be monitored when the MicroVission
panel is enabled for remote control or if Run
Permissive option is enabled. When this input is en-
ergized, the compressor will be allowed to start in
selected run mode. If the compressor is running and
this input is found de-energized, the compressor will
be stopped and the compressor will have to wait for
next start until this input gets energized.
Low Oil Level Input
• This input must be energized for the compressor to
operate. If this input gets de-energized, the com-
pressor will be stopped and issue a Low Oil Level
trip provided Oil Level Trip option is enabled in
Conguration screen.
High Level Shutdown Input:
• The MicroVission monitors this digital input to
check whether the power is removed from the input
module during compressor start. This input must
be energized for the compressor to operate. If deenergized, the compressor will shut down and issue
a High Level Shutdown trip.
Compressor Motor Starter Auxiliary Input:
• This input looks for a feedback signal from the compressor starter, conrming that the compressor
starter is energized.

Section 5 • Compressor Control
Overview
The Compressor Control screens is where an operator
can set majority of the compressor settings. These settings dene how the compressor will operate and respond to changing loads. The compressor control screen
consists of several pages, but in order not to overwhelm
the operator with options, many of the pages may not
be visible.
NOTE
How the compressor is setup in the conguration screen
will determine what compressor control pages are
displayed.
It is important to note that there isn’t one correct way to
set these parameters. Every application is different and
requires the operator to tune these settings to achieve
the best operation.
For Suction Pressure Control, Process Temperature
Control & Discharge Pressure Control operator can use
two different set of values for compressor control. These
values are categorized as Setpoint 1 and Setpoint 2.
Active Control Mode decides which set of values will be
used to control the compressors.
How Compressor Control Setpoint works?
The MicroVission will load and unload reciprocating
compressor cylinders to maintain the control setpoint.
The control setpoint can be either of suction pressure
control setpoint, process temperature control setpoint
or discharge pressure control setpoint depending on
what the operator has selected as the control mode.
The following gure shows how the MicroVission uses
the setpoints and offset values to load / unload compres-
sor in steps after specic time interval.

Section 5 • Compressor Control
Suction Pressure Control
When the Active Control Mode is set to “Suction Pressure
SP1” or “Suction Pressure SP2”’, the control setpoint is
Suction Pressure Control.
Pressure Control Setpoint
The suction pressure of the compressor to operate when
the compressor is running in Auto, Remote Auto, or
Direct I/O Auto run mode.
Load Offset
The offset value when added to the “Pressure Control”
setpoint, determines the suction pressure for loading
the compressor.
Load Interval
The time interval for which control algorithm will wait
between the steps while loading the compressor.
When the suction pressure of the compressor is equal to
or greater than the “Pressure Control” setpoint plus the
“Load Offset” value, the control algorithm loads one step
and then waits for the load interval time. Once the load
interval time is lapsed, the control algorithm will again
check if the suction pressure is equal to or greater than
the “Pressure Control” setpoint plus the “Load Offset”
value. If yes, MicroVission loads the next step.
Unload Offset
The offset value when removed from the “Pressure
Control” setpoint, determines the suction pressure for
unloading the compressor.
Unload Interval
The time interval for which control algorithm will wait
between the steps while unloading the compressor.
When the suction pressure of the compressor is less than
or equal to the “Pressure Control” setpoint minus the
“Unload Offset” value, the control algorithm unloads
one step and then waits for the unload interval time.
Once the unload interval time is lapsed, the control al-
gorithm will again check if the suction pressure is less
than or equal to the “Pressure Control” setpoint minus
the “Unload Offset” value. If yes, MicroVission unloads
the next step.

Process Temperature Control
When the Active Control Mode is set to “Process
Temperature SP1” or “Process Temperature SP2”’, the
control setpoint is Process Temperature Control.
Temp Control Setpoint
The process temperature of the compressor to operate
when the compressor is running in Auto, Remote Auto,
or Direct I/O Auto run mode.
Load Offset
The offset value when added to the “Temp Control” setpoint, determines the process temperature for loading
the compressor.
Load Interval
The time interval for which control algorithm will wait
between the steps while loading the compressor.
When the process temperature of the compressor is
equal to or greater than the “Temp Control” setpoint
plus the “Load Offset” value, the control algorithm loads
one step and then waits for the load interval time. Once
the load interval time is lapsed, the control algorithm
will again check if the process temperature is equal to or
greater than the “Temp Control” setpoint plus the “Load
Offset” value. If yes, MicroVission loads the next step.
Unload Offset
The offset value when removed from the “Temp Control”
setpoint, determines the process temperature for un-
loading the compressor.
Unload Interval
The time interval for which control algorithm will wait
between the steps while unloading the compressor.
When the process temperature of the compressor is less
than or equal to the “Temp Control” setpoint minus the
“Unload Offset” value, the control algorithm unloads
one step and then waits for the unload interval time.
Once the unload interval time is lapsed, the control al-
gorithm will again check if the process temperature is
less than or equal to the “Temp Control” setpoint minus
the “Unload Offset” value. If yes, MicroVission unloads
the next step.

Discharge Pressure Control
When the Active Control Mode is set to “Discharge Pressure SP1” or “Discharge Pressure SP2”’, the control setpoint is Discharge Pressure Control.
Pressure Control Setpoint
The discharge pressure of the compressor to operate
when the compressor is running in Auto, Remote Auto,
or Direct I/O Auto run mode.
Load Offset
The offset value when removed from the “Pressure
Control” setpoint, determines the discharge pressure for
loading the compressor.

between the steps while loading the compressor.
When the discharge pressure of the compressor is less
than or equal to the “Pressure Control” setpoint minus
the “Load Offset” value, the control algorithm loads one
step and then waits for the load interval time. Once the
load interval time is lapsed, the control algorithm will
again check if the discharge pressure is less than or equal
to the “Pressure Control” setpoint minus the “Load Offset” value. If yes, MicroVission loads the next step.
Unload Offset
The offset value when added to the “Pressure Control”
setpoint, determines the discharge pressure for unloading the compressor.
Unload Interval
The time interval for which control algorithm will wait
between the steps while unloading the compressor.
When the discharge pressure of the compressor is equal
to or greater than the “Pressure Control” setpoint plus
the “Unload Offset” value, the control algorithm un-
loads one step and then waits for the unload interval
time. Once the unload interval time is lapsed, the con-
trol algorithm will again check if the discharge pressure
is equal to or greater than the “Pressure Control” setpoint plus the “Unload Offset” value. If yes, MicroVission
unloads the next step.

Auto Cycle
The auto-cycle setpoints dene the control points in
which the compressor will automatically cycle on and off
when placed into “Auto” run mode. These setpoints can
be “enabled” or “disabled” using the check box. The auto-cycle function will operate only in local “Auto” mode
and Direct I/O “Remote Auto” mode. If the auto cycle
feature is enabled while running in any other remote
mode, the function will simply be ignored.
Auto Cycle Suction Pressure
• Enable: Enables the Auto cycle control. Uncheck
the box to disable the Auto cycle setpoints.
• Start Pressure: When the suction pressure is equal
to or greater than this setpoint, the compressor will
start.
• Start Delay: Before the compressor start, there is a
delay for the set time to ensure that suction pressure remains equal to or greater than the “Start
Pressure”.
• Stop Pressure: When the suction pressure is less
than or equal to this setpoint, the compressor will
stop.
• Stop Delay: Before the compressor stop, there is
a delay for the set time to ensure that the suction
pressure remains less than or equal to the “Stop
Pressure”.
Auto Cycle Process Temperature
• Enable: Enables the Auto cycle control. Uncheck
the box to disable the Auto cycle setpoints.
• Start Temperature: When the process temperature
is equal to or greater than this setpoint, the compressor will start.
• Start Delay: Before the compressor start, there is a
delay for the set time to ensure that process temperature remains equal to or greater than the “Start
Temperature”.
• Stop Pressure: When the process temperature is
less than or equal to this setpoint, the compressor
will stop.
• Stop Delay: Before the compressor stop, there is
a delay for the set time to ensure that the process
temperature remains less than or equal to the “Stop
Temperature”.

Active Control Mode
This drop-down box gives the operator the ability to
change the type of Active Control Mode such as Succion
Pressure, Process Temperature or Discharge Pressure.
The operator can also switch from Setpoint 1 (SP1) and
Setpoint 2 (SP2) for each control method. The options
for drop-down box will depend on the number and type
of control selected in the conguration screen.
Load Limiting
The stop load and force unload feature’s primary purpose is an attempt to prevent the compressor from trip-
ping off due to instrument reading. For example, if the
suction pressure drops very low, the compressor will trip
off for safety reasons. However, the stop load and force
unload algorithm recognizes the potential trip and either stops the compressor from loading up or even unloads the compressor step-by-step to prevent the trip.
I/O Based Setpoint Control
This checkbox when enabled, monitors the Remote
Setpoint #1/#2 Digital Input (10th Digital Channel on
Multi IO Board). When Compressor is running in Auto /
Remote(Auto) run mode, the selection of Active Control
Setpoint depends upon the state of Remote Setpoint
#1/#2 Digital Input. When Remote Setpoint #1/#2
Digital Input is Energized, Active Control Mode will be
Setpoint 2. When Remote Setpoint #1/#2 Digital Input
is De-Energized, Active Control Mode will be Setpoint 1.
NOTE
This checkbox will be displayed only when “Direct I/O” is
disabled in Conguration Screen.
Stop Load Setpoints
High Suction Pressure
• When the suction pressure value is equal to or
greater than this setpoint, algorithm will not allow
loading of the compressor. However, if the suction
pressure value drops below this setpoint, algorithm
will allow loading of the compressor.
High Discharge Pressure
• When the discharge pressure value is equal to or
greater than this setpoint, algorithm will not allow
loading of the compressor. However, if the discharge
pressure value drops below this setpoint, algorithm
will allow loading of the compressor.

MicroVission Controller • Operation and Service Manual • Emerson • 35391MV 1.0
Section 5 • Compressor Control
Low Suction Pressure
• When the suction pressure value is equal to or less
than this setpoint, algorithm will not allow loading
of the compressor. However, if the suction pressure
value exceeds this setpoint, algorithm will allow
loading of the compressor.
High Motor Current
• When the motor current value is equal to or greater
than this setpoint, algorithm will not allow loading
of the compressor. However, if the motor current
value drops below this setpoint, algorithm will allow
loading of the compressor.
Force Unload Setpoints
High Suction Pressure
• When the suction pressure value is equal to or greater than this setpoint, algorithm will unload the compressor by one step. Algorithm will continue unloading the compressor step-by-step to minimum load
until the suction pressure value drops below this
setpoint.
High Discharge Pressure
• When the discharge pressure value is equal to or
greater than this setpoint, algorithm will unload the
compressor by one step. Algorithm will continue unloading the compressor step-by-step to minimum
load until the discharge pressure value drops below
this setpoint.
Low Suction Pressure
• When the suction pressure value is equal to or less
than this setpoint, algorithm will unload the compressor by one step. Algorithm will continue unloading the compressor step-by-step to minimum
load until the suction pressure value exceeds this
setpoint.
High Motor Current
• When the motor current value is equal to or greater
than this setpoint, algorithm will unload the compressor by one step. Algorithm will continue unloading the compressor step-by-step to minimum
load until the motor current value drops below this
setpoint.
Unload Timer
• This is the time duration that force unload algorithm will use while unloading each step during
the force unload condition. For example, when the
suction pressure value is equal to or greater than
the “High Suction Pressure” Force Unload setpoint,
the algorithm will unload one step and wait for the
time as dened by this setpoint. Once the time set is
lapsed, the algorithm will check again if the suction
pressure value is equal to or greater than the “High
Suction Pressure” Force Unload setpoint. If yes, the
algorithm will unload one more step.

Oil Control
This setpoint denes how the MicroVission will manage
the crankcase’s oil. When the compressor is used in cold
climatic conditions, it might be possible that compressor does not start due to low crankcase oil temperature.
Oil Crankcase Heater Temperature
• When the oil temperature falls below this setpoint,
the oil heater (7th Digital Channel on Multi IO Board)
will turn ON. Note, there is a 2°F differential associated with this setpoint. For example, when set at
100 °F, the oil heater will turn ON at 98 °F and turn
OFF at 102 °F.

Section 6 • Alarms and Trips
Overview
The Alarms and Trips screen provides the options to view
and adjust settings for compressor safety and alarm
settings.
Warnings
The MicroVission uses Warnings to notify the operator
of the parameters that might inhibit the compressor
when started. Warnings are monitored only when compressor is not running. Unless other specied, Warnings
use alarm setpoints for detection and message generation. The Warning condition occurs when the value of
a parameter drops below or rises above the congured
alarm setpoint when the compressor is not running.
All warning messages can be collectively seen in a popup window. This pop-up is displayed when a warning
condition is present and the bottom status bar is pressed.
When the warning condition earlier present is cleared or
not anymore present, the corresponding warning message will be automatically removed from bottom status
bar.
Alarms
The MicroVission uses Alarms to notify the operator of
running parameters that if left unchecked could result in
the compressor shutting down due to a trip. Alarms are
only active when compressor is running. The Alarm con-
dition occurs if the value of a parameter drops below or
rises above the congured Alarm setpoint for a continuous delay time (default 5 seconds).
Alarms are shown in a Yellow color banner
on the top and the bottom status bars
Trips
Trips are the conditions that exceed the safety limits of
the compressor or refrigeration system and stops the
compressor. Trips are only active when compressor is
running. The Trip condition occurs if the value of a parameter drops below or rises above the congured Trip
setpoint for continuous delay time (default 5 seconds).
During Trip condition, compressor run mode will get
changed to idle from running.
Warnings are shown in an Orange color banner
on the bottom status bar
Inhibits
The MicroVission uses start Inhibits to prevent the com-
pressor from starting to protect the compressor and the
refrigeration system. Inhibits are only active during PreStart condition. While starting the compressor, inhibits
are checked rst before the motor is started. Failed start
due to an inhibit do not count toward any of the anti-recycle timer including Hot Starts. Unless other specied,
inhibits use alarm setpoints to abort compressor start
and message generation. The Inhibit condition occurs if
the value of a parameter drops below or rises above the
congured alarm setpoint during the compressor start.
Inhibits are shown in a Red color banner
on the top and bottom status bars
Trips are shown in a Red color banner
on the top and bottom status bars
NOTE
When more than one safety condition is active/present,
Safety message for each condition (Except Warning) will
get displayed on Top Status Bar in rotating manner.
Freeze Screens
Trips also trigger the input/output screen to take snapshot of all input and output values as Freeze 1 screen.
The Freeze screens are very useful as a troubleshooting
tool for the operator. Refer to Input/Output States sec-
tion for a typical Freeze Data (Trip) screen.
Logging – Event List
All Inhibits, Alarm and Trip conditions are logged in the
Event List so the operator can get the complete operational history. The operator can access the Event List
from the Menu screen.

Section 7• Timers
Overview
The Timers screen allows the operator to view and adjust
timer settings associated with the compressor operation. There are different types of timers that the opera-
tor should be aware of listed below. For Timers Screen
pages, see Figures 7-1 & 7-2.
Changeover
The changeover timers will change from one type control to another once the compressor has started and
then the time has expired.
Bypass
The bypass timers prevent certain alarm and trip checks
from occurring until the compressor has started and
then the time has expired.
Timer Setpoints
Following are the setpoints that the operator can congure on MicroVission.
Load Increase Start Delay
At compressor startup, the compressor capacity will be
at minimum load for this time. This is to allow compres-
sor and system conditions to stabilize. After this timer
expires, the system modulates the compressor capacity
according to the system demands.
Compressor Interlock Bypass
Once the MicroVission has sent a command to the com-
pressor starter to start, it expects the return signal. This
timer denes how much time to wait for that signal before setting a trip condition.
Delays
The delay timers require the condition to occur for the
specied amount of time.
Timers
A general timer requiring the time to be expire before
the listed event can occur.
Low Oil Pressure Diff. Bypass
This is the time for which the “Low Oil Pressure” safety
setpoints will remain inactive. After the timer has ex-
pired, the “Low Oil Pressure” safety setpoints will become active and safeties related to “Low Oil Pressure”
will get monitored.

Section 7 • Timers
Low Crankcase Oil Temperature Changeover
This is the time for which the “Low Crankcase Oil
Temperature – Start” safety setpoints will remain active. After the timer has expired, the “Low Crankcase
Oil Temperature – Start” safety setpoints will become
inactive and the “Low Crankcase Oil Temperature – Run”
safety setpoints will become active.
High Discharge Temperature Bypass
This is the time for which the “High Discharge
Temperature” safety setpoints will remain inactive. After
the timer has expired, the “High Discharge Temperature”
safety setpoints will become active and safeties related
to “High Discharge Temperature” will get monitored.
High F ilter Diff. Pressure Changeover
This is the time for which the “High Filter Diff. Pressure –
Start” safety setpoints will remain active. After the timer
has expired, the “High Filter Diff. Pressure – Start” safety
setpoints will become inactive and the “High Filter Diff.
Pressure – Run” safety setpoints will become active.
High Motor Amps Bypass
Starting motors can typically pull much more than current than its rated full load amps for a short time. This
timer ignores that sudden inrush of current for the specied time.
Communication Failure Detect Timer
This timer forces the compressor to wait for the set time
before displaying “Remote Comm Timeout” Alarm or
“Remote Comm Time-out” Trip when there is no remote
communication to MicroVission for the congured time.
True Anti-Recycle Timer
Once the compressor turns off, this timer will keep the
compressor OFF for the time set in this setpoint. This
timer is used to prevent short cycling of the compressor.
NOTE
The operator will be able to modify True Anti-Recycle
Timer setpoint only if “True” option is set for Anti-
Recycle setting in the Conguration screen.

Section 7• Timers
Accumulative Anti-Recycle Timer
This timer forces a specied time between the consecutive compressor starts. When the compressor starts,
this timer resets the time and starts accumulating the
running time. Once the compressor shuts down, it will
not be allowed to restart for the remainder of time left
on the Accumulative Anti-Recycle Timer. Unlike the True
Anti-Recycle Timer, if the compressor has run for the entire time of the Accumulative Anti- Recycle Timer and
then if compressor shuts down, the compressor will be
allowed to restart immediately.
The operator will be able to modify Accumulative AntiRecycle Timer setpoint only if “Accumulative” option is
set for Anti-Recycle setting in the Conguration screen.
Hot Starts per Hour
This counter will count the number of compressor starts
in an hour. This counter will reset only when the time
between two compressor starts is at least an hour. If in
an hour’s time, counter reaches to its set value, then the
compressor will not be allowed to start until an hour is
complete from the time when the counter was last reset. This counter allows consecutive compressor starts,
but once the counter reaches to the set value, it requires
a one-hour window between compressor starts for the
counter to reset.
NOTE
Oil Recovery Solenoid Shutoff Delay
This is the time for which Oil Recovery Solenoid Digital
Output will remain ON when the state of Low Oil Level
Digital Input is changed from Active Low to Active
High. When this timer expires, the state of Oil Recovery
Solenoid Digital Output will change to OFF.
Low Oil Level Alarm Delay
This is time for which “Low Oil Level Alarm” will not be
generated once “Low Oil Level” Digital Input is found
Active Low. If state of “Low Oil Level” Digital Input remains Active Low continuously for this time, then alarm
condition will be generated and “Low Oil Level Alarm”
message will be displayed on the Main screen.
Low Oil Level Trip Delay
This is time for which “Low Oil Level Trip” will not be generated once “Low Oil Level” Digital Input is found Active
Low. If state of “Low Oil Level” Digital Input remains
Active Low continuously for this time, then trip condition will be generated and “Low Oil Level Trip” message
will be displayed on the Main screen.
NOTE
The operator will be able to detect and see “Low Oil Level
Trip” message on Main screen only if “Oil Level Trip”
checkbox is Enabled in the Conguration screen
NOTE
The operator will be able to modify Hot Starts per Hour
setpoint only if “Hot Starts” option is set for Anti-Recycle
setting in the Conguration screen.

Section 8 • Instruments Calibration
Overview
The Instrument Calibration screen allows the operator
to dene how the MicroVission will interpret the signal
from any devices connected to panel’s analog inputs.
The Instrument Calibration screen is organized in four
pages. Each page is then divided into individual tabs for
every device.
I/O
Each tab has this section that provides basic information
for that device.
A/D bit Value
This eld displays the actual value read by MicroVission
analog to digital convertors. This value is unaffected by
any changes to the calibrations settings. If a device is
connected to the associated input, there will be some
value displayed in this eld.
Calibrated Value
This eld displays the calibrated value which is the result
of the calibration process. Calibrated value for Pressure
& Temperature values will be displayed in pressure / temperature unit as congured in Conguration Screen.
All instruments are calibrated using a two-point linear
calibration process. Any device that has a non-linear re-
sponse to environmental stimuli will not be able to be
calibrated through the MicroVission.
Pressure & Temperature Inputs
The most commonly used Instruments are pressure
and temperature sensors. The rst two pages of the
Instrument Calibration Screen are dedicated to these
Instruments; see Figure 8-1 up to Figure 8-12.
Each tab on these two pages are divided into two sec-
tions, Device Calibration and Channel Calibration.
Devices Calibration
The Device Calibration section is where the operation
parameters of the Instrument are dened.
Default Devices
By selecting this option, the operator will have access
to several common devices via a drop-down list. The
devices are predened and if one is selected, then all
the setpoints will be set for the operator.
Custom Device
This option allows the operator to choose the minimum
and maximum value of the Instrument being used.
The Instrument Calibration screen provides a set of rang-
es for default devices. You must select an appropriate
range to calibrate the sensor. If you do not nd a correct
range, you can specify the custom range.
Based on the calibration range that you select or specify,
the MicroVission displays the calibrated value. This calibrated value of the respective analog input is also shown
on the Main screen.
Channel Calibration
The Channel Calibration section denes the type of signal sent by the Instrument.
Offset
Once the two-point calibration is completed, it is com-
mon for a small error to exist. By entering the value of
the error from the calibrated value and the actual value
into the “Adjustment” entry box, that error will be added/subtracted from the “Total Offset”. The offset is ap-
plied to the calibrated value which should correct the
error.
Range
This option is available when the “Custom Device” option is selected. Here the operator denes the signal
type and range transmitted by the Instrument. The operator can select from several predened ranges in the
drop-down list or enter a value.

Section 8 • Instruments Calibration
Analog Inputs
Page 3 of Instrument Calibration Screen is dedicated to
instruments used for Motor Current and Process Control.
Motor Current
The MicroVission measures the motor current value us-
ing the 4-20 mA signal transmitted from the external
device.
The calibration process for Motor Current is slightly different from all other calibration procedures. The motor current must be calibrated while the compressor
is running at close to full amps as much as possible. In
addition, the operator will need a value into the “Enter
Desired Value” entry box that is equal to the measured
value in amps by a calibrating measurement device.
After entering the measured value, the displayed motor
current in “Calibrated Value” eld may still be off slightly.
In this case re-enter the desired value and the displayed
value should get progressively closer.
4-20mA Scale
• 4mA: Not editable by the operator. Denes the
minimum value in Amps represented by 4mA input..
• 20mA: Denes the maximum value in Amps that
represented by 20mA input.
• Enter Desired Value: The operator enters the correct
current value. Each entry will re-calculate the point
slope calculations of the current calibration.
• Total Error: Not editable by the operator. Displays
the total error offset of the value from the “Enter

Process Temperature or Pressure
The Process Control tab on this page will display either
Process Temperature or Process Pressure depending
on the “Process Control” type selected by the operator
in the Conguration screen. For more information, see
Conguration section.
The tab is divided into two sections, Device Calibration
and Channel Calibration with Default Devices and
Custom Device as well as Offset and Range Calibration
features as described for the standard Pressure and
Temperature Inputs.

Section 8 • Instruments Calibration
Auxiliary Inputs
Page 4 of the Calibration screen allows the operator to
dene the parameters of an installed auxiliary analog
instrument. These instruments are usually not part of a
typical compressor set-up but MicroVission provides a
way for the operator to add additional capabilities. The
layout of this screen is typical to the pressure and tem-
perature calibration screens.
Device Calibration
These setpoints allow the operator to dene what the input from the auxiliary instrument means in terms of unit
and range. If a temperature measuring instrument is
connected, then the operator would select temperature
from the “Units” dropdown box then set the minimum
and maximum value for the scale.
Channel Calibration
The Channel Calibration section denes the type of signal sent by the Instrument.
• Offset: Once the two-point calibration is complet-
ed, it is common for a small error to exist. By entering the value of the error from the calibrated value
and the actual value into the “Adjustment” entry
box, that error will be added/subtracted from the
“Total Offset”. The offset is applied to the calibrated
value which should correct the error.
• Range: Here the operator denes the signal type
and range transmitted by the Instrument. The operator can select from several predened ranges in

Section 9 • Event List
Overview
The Event List screen is designed to display the list of all
compressor events are arranged in chronological order
with the latest event appearing at the top. The infor-
mation available on the screen helps operator to understand the operation of the compressor and trouble-
shooting. This screen is divided into four columns and
can list up to 128 separate events. The operator can also
download the information on the event list through the
Data Backup Screen.
Event List Columns
• Date: Displays the date of the event in MM/DD/
YYYY format.
• Time: Displays the time of the event in HH:MM:SS
format. The time data displays AM/PM information when 12-hour format is congured in the
Conguration screen.
• Event Type: Displays the type of message for a listing. The common event types are “Start”, “Stop”,
“Trip”, “Inhibit”, “Alarm”, “Info”, and “System”.
These helps the operator to understand the mean-
ing of the “Message” column.
• Message: The information that describes the event.
The operator can use “Update” button to refresh the
event list data when this screen is open, instead of exit-
ing the screen and re-entering to see the latest events
data.

Section 10 • Input / Output States Screen
Overview
This screen displays “Live Data” of all the Analog Inputs
/ Outputs and Digital Inputs / Outputs being monitored.
There are two pages of Inputs / Outputs (I/O) available
for viewing, see Figures 10-1 & 10-2.
This screen also takes a snapshot of all the I/O points
when the operator presses on “Freeze Data” button or if
the compressor experiences a trip condition. The Freeze
page displays the title that indicates whether the Freeze
data is saved due to trip condition or “Freeze Data” button was pressed by the operator, see Figures 10-3 & 10-
4. Latest Freeze data is shown in Freeze 1 tab. Up to ve
Freeze pages can be saved. The oldest Freeze page will
be removed when more than ve Freeze events occur.
These freeze events can be downloaded to a USB drive
through Data Backup screen.
NOTE
The format in which time is displayed on the Freeze page
does not change depending on time format selected
in the Conguration screen. Also values for Auxiliary
Analog Inputs like Discharge 2 Pressure & Discharge 2
Temperature will be only shown when Analog Input 1
Board is enabled from the Conguration screen, see
Figure 10-5.

Section 11 • User Access
Overview
The User Access is the screen where all operators go to
log in.
In the MicroVission, each screen has a security level that
provides the necessary permissions to the operator,
technicians and/or supervisors to modify different sets
of setpoints. The MicroVission has four levels of security,
see Figure 11-1.
• Level 0 – This is the default level where no operator is
logged in. The functions available to the operator are
very limited and basically only allows them to start
and stop the compressor.
• Level 1 – This is a technician level of access. All the
setpoints needed to operate and adjust the performance of the compressor will be available to an operator with this level of access.
• Level 2 – This is a supervisor level of access. Setpoints
that require a higher level of knowledge such as calibrating instrument will be available to an operator
with this level of access.
• Level 3 – This is considered a contractor level of ac-
cess. The setpoints available at this level have the
most potential of causing damage to the compressor.
Therefore, this access is restricted to those only with
the highest level of competence.
The User Access screen also provides options to add new
operators and modify or delete existing operators. Any
operator can add an additional operator but can only
add operator of lesser or equal security level.
The MicroVission will be shipped with a Level 3 operator
and password pre-assigned to the installing contractor.
The contractor can then assign all users with security lev-
els as needed.
The procedure to assign user access levels is to rst press
the User Access button. The User Access screen will ap-
pear with the preassigned level 3 operator name visible
within the “Operators” section. Highlight the name,
then enter the password associated with that name of
the user, then press Enter key to close the keyboard.
Then press the “Apply” button. Press the “Manage
Accounts” tab to begin the process of entering another
Operator name, and assigning password and user level
of this additional user. Lastly – remember to press the
“Add/Update” button to add this user to the list, then
press the “Apply” button before exiting this screen to
make this change permanent.

Screen Security Levels
The following table lists all screen and their base security
levels, see Table 11-1. Most screens have more than
one security level. The base security level gives the user
access to the setpoints that can change the performance
of the compressor. The secondary security level is

Section 12 • Configuration Screen
Overview
The conguration screen is where most of the
MicroVission features are enabled and congured. The
initial setup of the MicroVission will generally start here,
see Figure 12-1. Based on what is selected, different por-
tions of the MicroVission will be available to the operator.
Units
This section sets how values will be represented throughout the MicroVission program.
Temp. Units
• Drop-down box to select the temperature units
from “Fahrenheit” and “Celsius”. Once selected, all
screen temperatures will be displayed in the select-
ed units
Press. Units
• Drop-down box to select the pressure units from
“Psig”, “Bar” and “Kpa”. Once selected, all screen
pressures will be displayed in the selected units.
Run Hours
• Offers the ability to change the compressor run
hours. This is typically used when replacing an older
micro controller on an existing compressor with a
new MicroVission.
No. of Cylinders
• The operator should set appropriate setting as per
the compressor connected. This setting informs the
control program to properly process the number of
analog channels for your compressor. For instance, if
12 or 16 cylinders is selected, then the control program processes a second discharge pressure safety
and second discharge temperature safety.
No. of Unloaders
• The operator should set appropriate setting as per
the compressor connected. This setting informs the
control program to control unloader digital outputs
which in turn modulates the capacity of compressor in steps. Each setting option displays the number of unloaders and the unload percentage steps
for the compressor. This setting is based on “No. of
Cylinders”. For more information about Unloaders,

Section 12 • Configuration Screen
Compressor Control Section
Vilter compressors typically run in one of the three control modes: Suction Pressure Control, Process Control or
Discharge Pressure Control. Discharge Pressure Control
is mutually exclusive with Suction Pressure Control &
Process Control. When Discharge Pressure Control is se-
lected, Suction Pressure Control & Process Control are
grayed out and cannot be selected. Similarly, if Suction
Pressure Control and/or Process Control is selected,
Discharge Pressure Control is grayed out and cannot be
selected.
• Suction Pressure Control: This denes the Suction
Pressure input as the process variable and all controls will be based on Suction Pressure. The operator
has the option to select up to two controllers where
each can have its own set of setpoints.
• Process Control: This denes the Process Control
input as the process variable and all controls will
be based on either Process Temperature or Process
Pressure. The operator has the option to select up to
two controllers where each can have its own set of
setpoints. The operator has to select one of the process control modes, either temperature or pressure
as a process variable. Temperature and Pressure op-
tions are mutually exclusive.
• Discharge Pressure Control: This denes the
Discharge Pressure input as the process variable and
all controls will be based on Discharge Pressure. The
operator has the option to select up to two controllers where each can have its own set of setpoints.
Oil Monitoring
This section provides the options to monitor the Oil
Filter related Analog Inputs. The operator will be able
to set any of one option related to Oil Filter from below
three options:
• No Oil Filter Monitoring: When this option is selected, Filter Inlet Pressure & Filter Outlet Pressure
inputs will not get monitored. Oil Filter Differential
Pressure will not get calculated. Safeties related to
“High Filter Differential Pressure” will not be active.
• Only Oil Filter In: When this option is selected, Only
Filter Inlet Pressure input will get monitored while
Filter Outlet Pressure input will not get monitored.
Oil Filter Differential Pressure will get calculated as
Filter Inlet Pressure minus Oil Manifold Pressure.
Safeties related to “High Filter Differential Pressure”
will be active and monitored.
• Oil Filter In and Oil Filter Out: When this option is selected, both Filter Inlet Pressure input &
Filter Outlet Pressure will get monitored. Oil Filter
Differential Pressure will get calculated as Filter
Inlet Pressure minus Filter Outlet Pressure. Safeties
related to “High Filter Differential Pressure” will be
active and monitoredBased on the option you select
for oil monitoring, the MicroVission Controller displays the warning and trip message for the low oil
lter pressure.
You can also select an option to trip the compressor if
the oil level drops below the required level.
12 – 2
Oil Level Trip
This checkbox when enabled, allows the operator to
monitor “Low Oil Level Trip”. When this option is enabled, MicroVission program will monitor state of “Low
Oil Level” Digital Input. The digital input will be low when
compressor oil level drops below the minimum required
level. For more information on monitoring related to
safeties, see Timers section.
Touch Screen
The “Calibrate” button puts the screen into calibration
mode. Calibration of the touchscreen is only required if
the operator nds that the pointer’s arrow is not following the nger while trying to operate on the MicroVis-
sion screens.
In calibration mode, the operator needs to touch the
pointers as shown on the screen starting with the topleft corner. After touching the pointer, next pointer will
be shown. The operator need to touch on all four point-
ers shown on corners of the screen in the given sequence
to complete the calibration.

Section 12 • Configuration Screen
Anti-Recycle
Anti-Recycle denes the method of motor protection
due to repeated motor starts. The operator has three
options for protection:
• Hot Starts: This option will allow only a certain
number of compressor starts in an hour before set-
ting the time to the anti-recycle timer. The number
of starts to be allowed is set through the “Hot Starts
per Hour” setpoint of the Timers screen.
• True : This option adds the time to anti-recycle timer once the compressor is shutdown, hence forcing
a specic wait time once compressor is stopped and
next compressor start. The wait time required is set
through the “True Anti-Recycle Timer” setpoint of
the Timers screen. The compressor motor cannot
be started if there is anti-recycle time left.
• Accumulative: This option immediately adds the
time to anti-recycle timer once the compressor is
started. The time to be added is set through the
“Accumulative Anti-Recycle Timer” setpoint of the
Timers screen. Unlike the True Anti-Recycle Timer,
if the compressor has run for the entire time of the
Accumulative Anti-Recycle Timer and then the compressor stops, the compressor will be allowed to re-
start immediately.
The operator can view anti-recycle time on the Main
screen if “Anti-Recycle” option is selected in Congurable
Main Screen Settings on Page 4.
Compressor Identication
This section sets the identication for a MicroVission
unit.
• Name: Unique identier that is used for all
MicroVission units.
• Panel ID: Panel Identier used by controller when
communicating with multiple panels.
• Order Num: Identies the Order Number of the
purchase of the compressor. This number will be
needed if the operator requires help/support from
the Vilter.
Date and Time
These section sets the date and time of the MicroVission.
Accurate date and time are essential for accurate logging and troubleshooting. Setting these parameters will
set the hardware clock embedded in the MicroVission
CPU. If the time is not retained after powering down the
panel, the operator should check and/or replace the coin
style battery on the panel SBC behind the touchscreen.
• Year: Entry box to set the current year.
• Month: Entry box to set the current month.
• Day: Entry box to set the current date.
• Format: Selection to choose between 24 hours and
12 hours clock.

• Hour: Entry box to set the clock hours. AM or PM
drop-down box will be available if the 12 hours format is selected.
• Minute: Entry box to set the clock minutes.
• Second: Entry box to set the clock seconds.
VNC Account
MicroVission panels can be accessed remotely by using a
VNC client over TCP/ IP network. This section allows the
operator to change default VNC password and VNC port
number. For more information, see Figure 12-2.
• New Password: The operator will add the password
by touching the entry box and typing the password
via the pop-up.
• Verify New Password: The operator will re-enter
the password by touching the entry box and typing
the password via the pop-up keyboard.
• Port Number: The operator will change the port
number for the VNC server by touching the entry
box and typing the port number via pop-up key-
pad. Default port number is 5900. The operator can
assign the port number in the range from 5900 to
6000.
Alarms and Trips
The “Idle Time Trip” checkbox works in conjunction with
the “High Level Shutdown” digital input. If checkbox is
enabled, when the compressor is in idle state and this
digital input is off, the compressor should give a trip
message.
Direct I/O
Enables the Direct I/O Inputs. When checkbox is en-
abled, the operator can select any one Direct I/O option
from “Auto Control” and “(Digital) Manual Control”.
• Auto Control: This option will allow the operator to
run compressor in Direct I/O Auto Run Mode. The
algorithm will use setpoints of Compressor Control
screen for loading & unloading of compressor
cylinders.
• (Digital) Manual Control: This option will allow the
operator to run compressor in Direct I/O Manual
Run Mode. The algorithm will monitor the state of
“Remote Increase” & “Remote Decrease” Digital
Inputs for loading & unloading compressor cylinders
respectively. If “Remote Increase” Digital Input is ON
& “Remote Decrease” Digital Input is OFF then the
compressor will load one step. Similarly, if “Remote
Increase” Digital Input is OFF & “Remote Decrease”
Digital Input is ON then the compressor will unload
one step.
The operator should ensure following conditions are
met to run the compressor in Direct I/O Run Mode:
1. “Direct I/O” checkbox is enabled
2. “Active Remote Control” setting is set to “Direct I/O”
3. “Remote Start/Stop” Digital Input is ON
Once above conditions are met, the operator can
start compressor in Direct I/O Run mode by pressing
on “START” button in Main screen and then selecting
“Remote” option in pop-up window.
Communication
The communication section is the control center for all
communications to the MicroVission panel. It is possible
to have multiple modes of communications enabled and
used. However, only one mode can be used to control
the MicroVission, which would be the one selected in
the “Active Remote Control” drop-down box.
For a complete list of communication registers, see
Appendix B, Communication Table.
Active Remote Control
Select the mode of remote control. The operator any

When this checkbox is enabled, MicroVission moni-
tors the “Remote Start/Stop” Digital Input. If “Remote
Start/Stop” Digital Input is energized (turned ON), the
compressor can start in the selected run mode (Auto
/ Manual / Remote). If the “Remote Start/Stop” Digital
Input is de-energized (turned OFF), the compressor will
wait until the Digital Input is energized.
When this check box is disabled, MicroVission will not
monitor the state of “Remote Start/Stop” Digital Input
during the compressor start.
Section 12 • Configuration Screen
On Communication Failure
This feature of the MicroVission offers the ability to dene how the MicroVission will handle communication
failure.
The operator can select any one options from below two
options:
• Revert to Local Control: Once the compressor
has started running in the Remote Run Mode, the
“Communication Failure Detect Timer” as cong-
ured in Timers screen will start. If no further communication with MicroVission takes place for the
congured time, the MicroVission will be placed
in Local Auto Mode. MicroVission will also display
“Remote Comm Timeout” Alarm Message and add
time-stamped alarm event to Event List screen.
• Stop Compressor with Trip: Once the compressor
has started running in the Remote Run Mode, the
“Communication Failure Detect Timer” as cong-
ured in Timers screen will start. If no further communication with MicroVission takes place for the
congured time, the compressor will be stopped
due to “Remote Comm Timeout” Trip. MicroVission
will also display “Remote Comm Timeout” Trip
Message and add time-stamped trip event to Event
List screen.

this is where these cards are enabled for use by its algo-
rithms. Some features of the MicroVission will not be
available unless specic expansion cards are selected,
see Figure 12-6.
• Analog Input 1: Enables the optional Analog Input
card 1.
• Digital Input/Output 1: Enables the optional Digital
Freeze Data, Trend Data and Compressor Run Hours to
a portable USB ash drive. That information can then be
uploaded back to the MicroVission in the case of data
corruption or to update the MicroVission program.
Additionally, this screen also allows the operator to reset
all values to the factory defaults.
All the information saved to the USB ash drive is open
information, meaning none of the data is encrypted and
operator is free to examine it. The log les are all saved
as simple ASCII text and the databases can be examined
with SQLite.

Factory Reset:
The Factory reset button offers the operator the ability
to reset all the MicroVission setpoints back to the facto-
ry default settings or a specic database. If the operator
nds that a screen will not load when selected, it is likely
that the database associated with that screen has been
corrupted. Unfortunately, data corruption is always a
possibility in any system. So, this function was designed
to help the operator to regain control, see Figure 13-2.
Reset
• This button initiates the process to revert the
MicroVission back to the factory default settings.
Setpoints Report
The setpoints report screen offers the operator ability
to generate a setpoints report for all screens. The reports are stored as .csv les and can be saved to a USB
drive from Save/Load screen by selecting the “Setpoints
Report” option in Data Items section during backup of
database. The .csv le can be imported in any spread
sheet application. During operation, the operator can
generate reports at any time. See Figure 13-3: Data

Database Backup Procedure
Upgrading the program in the MicroVission panel
normally involves replacing the SD card. Note that all
compressor operation setpoints, calibration values
and maintenance information is stored on the SD card.
So, when upgrading to a new program (new SD card),
the task is simplied by using the “Database Backup”
and “Database Restore” functions provided in the
MicroVission to migrate the database of the original SD
card to the new SD card.
There are three main steps to this process:
1. Backup the database of original SD card (currently
in the MicroVission panel) – onto a thumb drive or
ash drive.
2. Replace the original SD card with new SD card.
3. Restore the original database to new SD card.
Backup Database of Original SD Card
It is REQUIRED to manually reenter the Alarms and Trip
settings when upgrading from some older version of
programs. Therefore, it is highly recommended to create a hardcopy of all compressor operating setpoints, or
to create and have handy a printout of the Setpoints Re-
port .csv le.
It is also recommended to make a hardcopy of the conguration information and maintenance information
prior to changing SD cards. For the list of all the information that you should record, see the “Record operating
setpoints and conguration information” section below.
NOTE
1. With the original SD card installed into the
MicroVission SBC, insert the ash drive into the USB
port. This port is located along the left side of the
single board computer above the ethernet connector. See Figure 13-4: SD Replacement.
2. Log into the MicroVission using your username and
password (you will need to be Level 3 to upload
data).
3. Navigate to the Data Backup screen.
4. In the “Available Devices” window, you should see
something like “/media/usb0”. If you do not see
anything in this window, press the “Refresh” button,
and wait about 5 seconds. After that press the but-
ton again. If you still do not see the device, then the
MicroVission does not recognize the ash drive - try
a different one. If you do see it, highlight it.
5. Now highlight the “Filename” eld (which will also
contain “/media/usb0”). A keyboard will appear.
Now type in the name of the le that you want for
your database for this compressor. For instance,
“cylinders_month_day_year” or something similar
for identifying the le to the compressor. Then press
“Enter” key on keyboard.
6. Now press the “Save” button. A “watch” icon will
appear. Shortly thereafter, a popup box should appear with a message that the save was successful
and asking if you want to “unmount” the ash drive
device. Press on “Yes” Button. If the “watch” icon re-
mains after a minute or so, then the MicroVission is
unable to close the backup le it has written to the
thumb drive. Power down the MicroVission and try
the procedure with a different thumb drive.
The data migration procedure (moving the original SD
card database to new SD card) uses a “thumb drive” or
“ash drive” to transfer data from the original SD card
to the new SD card. Note there have been a few re-
cords of some thumb drives not being recognized by
the MicroVission. If you have difculty in getting the
MicroVission to recognize the thumb drive – then try a
different one. Vilter has successfully tested many different manufacturers and sizes; a partial list is given below:
o SanDisk micro cruzer 2.0 GB
o Imation 2.0GB
o Kingston DataTraveler 512 MB
o SanDisk mini cruzer 128 MB

Replace Original SD card with New SD card
Now that the database le has been saved to the thumb
drive, you can replace the “original” SD card with a new
SD card.
1. Power down the MicroVission.
2. Remove the thumb drive and take out the “original”
SD card and install the new one.
3. Label both the old and new card to identify the com-
pressor it is for.
Section 13 • Data Backup
Restore Original Database to New SD card
Now that the new card is inserted, power up the
MicroVission panel. The MicroVission boots up in a minute or so.
• Once the MicroVission is booted up, press on the
“User Access” button.
• Insert the thumb drive in to the USB port.
• Navigate to the Data Backup screen. You should
again see the USB thumb drive listed in the “Available
Devices” window.
• Select the Load function (above the “Available
Devices” eld), and then highlight the device that is
listed in the “Available Devices” window.
• In the “Select Folder/File” window, nd the backup
le for this compressor, and highlight it.
• Now press the “Load” button.
a) A pop-up window will appear with a message
Loading new databases will require a program
restart. Continue?”. Press “Yes”.
b) Another pop-up window might appear with
a message “One or more settings selected for
loading were missing from the archive. And it
will list what is missing. Continue loading anyway?”. Press “Yes”.
c) Another pop-up box might appear with a
message asking if you want to use the IP address
it found. Press “OK”.
• A pop-up box appears with a message “Settings
were successfully loaded. Program will restart”.
Press “OK“.
When the OK button is pressed, the panel will reboot.
Now using the “hand documented” settings that you recorded, compare the setpoints on that list against those
in the MicroVission. They should all be OK. Here are the
KNOWN issues that we have found with this procedure.
• If you have communication connection issues after
restoring the database, you may have to “re-enter”
the IP address that is shown on page 3 of the conguration screen. If you experience problems after
the “Restore” function – then re-enter your communication settings.
Record Operating Setpoints And Conguration
Information
Before powering down the MicroVission to replace the
SD card, copy the following operating setpoints and
conguration information.
