SECTION 4 COMPRESSOR CONNECTION AND CONTROL
COMPRESSOR CONNECTION AND CONTROL
The VSD BOX is designed to connect to an X8I
Automation System unit, using a 2-wire RS485 data cable.
The VSD Box is intended to provide a method of system
integration for the Ingersoll Rand Bolt-On VSD’s as well
as other 3rd party air compressors that are not equipped
with any accessible means of remote connectivity.
Each air compressor in a system that requires VSD Box
integration must be equipped with an individual VSD
Box. Any number of VSD Boxes can be connected to the
Automation System unit as long as the total number
of compressors does not exceed the total number of
compressors for the Automation System model.
In conjunction with a ‘speed monitoring kit’ (available
separately) the VSD Box will provide all required
functionality to maximize the ENER, energy control mode,
in the X8I or X12I Automation System
3) 3rd party integrated VSD air compressors that are
equipped with a single package discharge pressure
sensor (1).
STANDARD CONTROL FEATURES AND
FUNCTIONALITY
The Bolt-On VSD or the VSD equipped air compressor
must be equipped with a 4-20mA pressure sensor or a
0.5V to 4.5VDC a pressure sensor that is used for variable
speed drive regulation or compressor pressure regulation
control. A VSD Box will accommodate a pressure sensor
range of 1.0bar to 600bar.
Various Compressor Configurations and Characteristics
Can Be Accommodated by the VSD Box. These include:
1) Bolt-On VSD air compressors that are equipped with
two pressure sensors (1 and 2) that both monitor
package discharge pressure. One sensor is dedicated
to the compressor control system for load/unload
regulation functions and the other pressure sensor
is dedicated to the VSD for variable speed drive
regulation.
2) Bolt-On VSD air compressors that are equipped with
a package discharge pressure switch (1) dedicated
to the compressor control system for load/unload
regulation and a pressure sensor (2) dedicated to the
VSD for variable speed drive regulation.
4) 3rd party integrated VSD air compressors that are
equipped with a package discharge pressure sensor
(1) and a second internal pressure sensor (2). The
internal pressure sensor is generally used for internal
air/oil filtration differential pressure monitoring and/
or internal pressure safety functions.
NOTE: There are VSD air compressors that are unable
to maintain maximum speed operation for a prolonged
period of time. In these instances, the compressor control
system may automatically reduce speed regardless
of demand. The VSD Box and Automation System will
recognize this, and if necessary, utilize an additional
compressor to meet demand.
NOTE: There are VSD air compressors that are unable
to maintain minimum speed operation for a prolonged
period of time. In these instances, the compressor control
system may automatically stop the compressor regardless
of demand. The VSD Box will recognize and accommodate
this behavior. The Automation System will indicate and
record the compressor status correctly without fault
indication.

From VSD Box
To IR-5000 Pressure Transducer Input
All air compressors are equipped with a method of
sensing pressure. An air compressor regulates using the
compressor package discharge pressure as the control
variable.
The VSD Box monitors the compressor pressure sensor
as an input and simulates the pressure sensor signal as
an output. The VSD Box uses this method to modify the
pressure signal and manipulate the behavior of the air
compressor. In other words, the VSD Box becomes the air
compressor pressure sensor. This functionality enables
the Automation System unit to utilize the compressor
effectively and optimize total system efficiency and
maintain air quality.
The VSD Box also monitors compressor status (Ready,
Run, and Load/Unload) and continuously reports this
information to the Automation System unit. This function
enables the VSD Box to simulate all features of a standard
X8I or X12I network compressor integration.
Actual System pressure and the Automation System
‘target’ pressure information is routinely transmitted
from the X8I or X12I to the VSD Box. The VSD Box uses
this information to calculate the difference between
the compressor discharge pressure and the system
‘target’ pressure. The VSD Box utilizes pressure signal
manipulation to continuously re-align compressor output
with system requirements.
This functionality also enables the VSD Box to
continuously compensate for any pressure differential
that may occur across local air treatment, along air pipe
work or between different locations in a compressed air
network.

SECTION 5 INSTALLATION
It is recommended that installation and commissioning
be carried out by an authorized and trained product
supplier.
UNIT LOCATION
The VSD Box is wall mounted using conventional screws/
bolts. The maximum distance between the X8I or X12I
and the VSD Box is 4000ft (1219 meters) of cable length.
The maximum distance between the VSD Box and
each compressor is 330ft (100 meters) of cable length
and within 330ft (100 meters) of cable length from any
pressure sensor option (if applicable)..
POWER SUPPLY
A fused switching isolator must be installed to the
main incoming power supply, external to the VSD Box.
The isolator must be fitted with a properly sized fuse
to provide adequate protection to the power supply
cable used (in accordance with local electrical and safety
regulations).

RS485 data communications and other low
voltage signals can be subject to electrical interference.
This potential can result in intermittent malfunction
or anomaly that is difficult to diagnose. To avoid this
possibility always use earth shielded cables, securely
bonded to a known good earth at one end. In addition,
give careful consideration to cable routing during
installation.
a.
Never route an RS485 data communications or low
voltage signal cable alongside a high voltage or 3phase power supply cable. If it is necessary to cross
the path of a power supply cable(s), always cross at a
right angle.
b.
If it is necessary to follow the route of power supply
cables for a short distance (for example: from a
compressor X8I to a wall along a suspended cable
tray) attach the RS485 or signal cable on the outside
of an earthed cable tray such that the cable tray
forms an earthed electrical interference shield.
c.
Where possible, never route an RS485 or signal cable
near to equipment or devices that may be a source
of electrical interference (for example: 3-phase
power supply transformer, high voltage switchgear
unit, frequency inverter drive module, radio
communications antenna).
Power Supply Terminals
Ensure that the voltage select input is properly
jumpered for the incoming power. Default voltage
configuration is 230Vac.
RS485 NETWORK
The VSD Box is equipped with an RS485 network
communications capability using the ir485 protocol.
The VSD Box is intended to operate as part of the X8I
or X12I Automation System. Connection to the system
management unit is two-wire, twisted pair, earth
shielded, RS485 data link. Connect the RS485 data
cable wires to terminal X07 located on the VSD Box ‘S1’
controller.
Note: Polarity is important.
The cable used between the X8I and the VSD Box is
Belden 9841 (or equivalent). It should be run in grounded
conduit and should not be greater than 4000 feet (1219
meters) in length.
PRESSURE SENSOR CONNECTIONS
Consult the X8I Interconnect and Application Guide
prior to the installation of the VSD Box to the pressure
sensor on the VSD and the compressor.
Pressure sensor connectivity is dependant on compressor
and control system type.
Electrical Interference
0.5 to 4.5VDC Pressure Sensors
Voltage sensors and cables carrying low voltage analog
signals are highly susceptible to interference.
4 to 20mA Pressure Sensors
Always use shielded, 18 gauge, 2-conductor cable
no more than 330 feet (100 meters) in length. Ensure
the shield wire is securely connected to earth ground
at the VSD Box end only.
Always use shielded, braided, foil wrapped with a
drain wire, 18 AWG maximum, 2-conductor cable no
more than 330 feet (100 meters) in length. Ensure the
braided steel wire is securely connected to a known
good earth ground at both ends. Ensure the internal
drain wire is securely connected to a known good
earth ground at the VSD Box end only.
Failure to protect low voltage pressure signals between
the compressor and VSD Box will result in unstable and/or
erratic pressure readings; resulting in unstable and/or
erratic compressor regulation behavior.

IRPCB COMPRESSOR STATUS MONITORING
An ir-PCB is a requirement for a VSD Box installation.
The ir-PCB is a DIN rail mountable unit designed to be
installed within the compressor control or switchgear
area and connected to the VSD Box using a six-wire cable.
The ir-PCB is used for compressor status monitoring and
in some installations, for remote load/unload or pressure
switch regulation control.
Consult the X8I Interconnect and Application Guide
prior to the installation of the VSD Box and the ir-PCB to
the air compressor.
Consult the X8I Interconnect and Application Guide
prior to the installation of the VSD Box and the ir-PCB to
the air compressor.
The ir-PCB is fitted with a six-pin terminal C04 for
compressor monitoring. The ir-PCB uses three inputs
(Ready, Run and Loaded) to determine compressor status.
All three status-monitoring input signals are required.
READY
The ‘Ready’ connection is intended to indicate that the
compressor is in a ‘started’ state, has no operational
inhibiting fault condition and is ready to respond to VSD
Box regulation without manual intervention.
Ready Input
The ir-PCB uses a 12V to 250V ac/dc input voltage
detection system and universal relay contact control
outputs (250Vac/dc @ 5A maximum). Integrated directly
into the circuits of an air compressor, the ir-PCB avoids
the need for additional relays or remote inputs. The ir-PCB
also acts as an electrical barrier between the compressor
and the VSD Box providing protection and voltage
isolation.
IRPCB COMPRESSOR CONTROL
Consult the X8I Interconnect and Application Guide
prior to the installation of the VSD Box and the ir-PCB to
the air compressor.
When connecting to an VSD, the VSD Box will control the
ir-PCB load/unload relay outputs (terminals C01 and C02)
in accordance with the VSD Box load and unload pressure
set points. The ir-PCB load/unload relay contacts can be
used for compressor that have pressure switch load/
unload regulation as well as those that have digital inputs
for load/unload regulation.
The READY input will accept 12V to 250V ac (50/60Hz) or
dc.
Caution: Do not connect a voltage greater than 250Vac/
dc to this input.
This input must be connected to the terminals of a ‘ready’
or ‘operational’ lamp, or other circuit of the compressor
control system, that will be energized when the
compressor is in started (standby or running) condition.
The voltage to this input must de-energize when the
compressor is stopped and unavailable to produce air
upon a load signal or the Emergency Stop button is
pressed or when the compressor experiences a fault that
prevents the compressor from running.
When the compressor ready lamp, or other control circuit,
is energized the ir-PCB will detect the voltage and signal
the VSD Box that the compressor is ready and available to
load and produce air when a load request signal is given
Note: The ir-PCB input common terminal must always
be connected to the neutral, common or 0V line of the
applied input.

In instances where a convenient voltage signal for a
compressor ready condition is not available the ‘Ready’
input can be connected directly to a constant compressor
control system power supply voltage (12V to 250Vac or
dc). This will signal the VSD Box that the compressor is
ready and available at all times when power is applied
to the compressor. The VSD has a built-in function to
determine when a compressor is not responding, or is
in a shutdown condition, regardless of a constant ready
signal. If the VSD Box requests a compressor to run/load,
but fails to detect a RUN signal within 60 seconds, the
VSD Box will regard the compressor as ‘not ready’ and
indicate the compressor as not available. If a RUN signal is
detected at any time, the VSD Box will automatically reset
the compressor ‘not ready’ condition and re-establish
control.
For a fixed speed air compressor this input can be
connected to the control terminals A1 and A2 (coil) of
the main starter contactor of the compressor. When the
compressor control system energizes the main contactor,
the ir-PCB will detect the voltage across the contactor coil
terminals and signal the VSD Box that the compressor is
running
Alternatively, if the main contactor coil voltage is greater
than 250Vac, a contactor auxiliary relay can be used to
apply a suitable voltage to the ‘Run’ input terminals.
For a ‘Variable Speed’ air compressor alternative methods
of determining a running condition may have to be
established.
Safety: Never connect the READY input positive
connection directly to the output of a control system
transformer; always connect after a fuse or circuit breaker.
If a normally closed contact of an Emergency Stop button
is included in the compressor power supply circuit,
connect after the Emergency Stop button contacts. This
will instantly indicate a compressor ‘not ready’ condition if
the Emergency Stop button is activated
RUNNING
The majority of VSD compressors are fitted with a
single main motor contactor but in most instances this
contactor energizes at compressor initialization and
remains energized regardless of motor running. The
following alternative signals may be used to indicate
motor running in most cases:-
1) The ‘Fan’ contactor – in instances where the cooling
fan energizes and de-energizes in conjunction with
the main motor.
2) The compressor controller ‘run’ signal to the ‘Inverter
Drive Unit’; an interface relay may be required.
Note: The ir-PCB input common terminal must always
be connected to the neutral, common or 0V line of the
applied input voltage.
LOADED
ALARM = LOAD
The VSD Box uses the ir-PCB ALARM input to detect the
load condition of the compressor. There is no Alarm
input facility on the ir-PCB when used with a VSD Box.
An auxiliary ‘Alarm’ input terminal within the VSD Box is
available.
The RUN input will accept 12V to 250V ac (50/60Hz) only
(DC can not be used).
Caution: Do not connect a voltage greater than 250V to
this input.
12V to 250Vac must be applied to the ‘Run’ terminals
when the compressor motor is running.
Note: A fault that stops the compressor, and/or prevents
the compressor from running, is determined from the
‘Run’ and ‘Ready’ inputs; Alarm detection is optional and is
not a requirement.

Auxiliary Trip Input (Option)
The VSD Box is equipped with an auxiliary ‘Trip’ input. The
input can be used to detect a compressor shutdown trip
condition. The input can also be used to monitor other
auxiliary equipment associated with the compressor and
initiate a compressor trip condition.
The Automation System unit will regard the trip as
a compressor shutdown trip and will remove the
compressor from sequence; the compressor will run-on
for the compressor controller’s set run-on time and stop.
Caution: Do not connect a voltage greater than 250Vac/dc to
this input.
Note: The Alarm input can not be directly connected to a Triac
Output, as used on the IntelliSys controller. When connecting
to an IntelliSys controller, an auxiliary relay must be used to
apply a suitable voltage to the ‘Alarm’ input terminals.
The ‘Load’ input can be connected to the terminals of the
compressor’s load solenoid; or other accessible part of the
control circuit that is energized when the compressor is loaded.
Note: The ir-PCB input common terminal must always be
connected to the neutral, common or 0V line of the applied
input voltage.
For a compressor that is not equipped with a load solenoid (a
compressor that is loaded at all times while running) the ‘Load’
input can be connected to the ‘Run’ input.
Auxiliary Alarm Input (Option)
The VSD Box is equipped with an auxiliary ‘Alarm
(Warning)’ input. This input can be used to detect a
compressor ‘Warning’ or ‘Alarm’ condition. The input can
also be used to detect an ‘Alarm’ condition of auxiliary
equipment associated with the compressor.
The Automation System unit will regard the alarm as a
compressor alarm.
As default the auxiliary ‘Alarm’ input is normally open,
Alarm on closed circuit condition. If required this can
be reversed in the VSD Box setup menu to be normally
closed, alarm on open circuit.
As default the auxiliary ‘Trip’ input is normally open,
Trip on closed circuit condition. If required this can be
reversed in the VSD Box setup menu to be normally
closed, trip on open circuit.
Note: The maximum cable length for Auxiliary ‘Alarm’ or
‘Trip’ inputs is 330ft (100m).
Speed Monitoring Input (Option)
The VSD Box is equipped with a ‘speed detection’ input
designed to function with a ‘VSD Speed Monitoring Kit’
(available separately). This optional feature will provide
all required functionality to enable total synergy with the
energy control, VSD compressor aware, functions of an
X8I or X12I.
Remote Outputs
Compressor Running:
The VSD Box is equipped with a volt-free relay contact
output (R5) to indicate when the compressor is detected
as running. The output contacts will close when the
compressor is running.
Group Alarm:
The VSD Box is equipped with a volt-free relay contact
output (R6) to indicate Group Alarm. The Group Alarm
relay contacts are normally closed and will open in the
following conditions:-
1) VSD Box power failure
2) VSD Box internal fault condition
3) Input pressure sensor fault
4) Compressor ‘Not Ready’

be carried out by an authorized and trained product
supplier.
Information regarding the compressor control system,
method of operation and regulation settings, is required.
Knowledge of VSD compressor regulation methods,
experience working with compressor control systems and
basic principle knowledge of compressed air systems,
is also required to be able to successfully install and
commission this product.
Physical Checks
Before applying power to the VSD Box ensure that the
power supply connections are correct and secure and
that the operating voltage selector is set correctly for the
power supply voltage in use; 115Vac or 230Vac (+-10%),
50/60Hz; see ‘Installation’.
Check and ensure all pressure sensor, output pressure
signal and ir-PCB connections are correctly installed and
secure.
Compressor Pressure Set Points
Establish the following pressure set point values from the
compressor control system.
NOTE: For fixed speed compressors the ‘target’ pressure
can be set at the mid-point between the compressor
‘load’ and ‘unload’ pressure set points.
4) The maximum Discharge pressure level (and maximum
Internal pressure level if used) set in the compressor
controller. This value will be the Excess or High pressure
Alarm safety level. On fully integrated VSD compressor
controllers this value may be represented as the
‘Immediate Stop Pressure’ level.
Establishing the correct compressor pressure set
point values is critical to successful VSD Box operation.
1) Compressor ‘Load’ pressure set point: The pressure at
which the compressor will start/load.
On 3rd party fully integrated VSD compressor
controllers this value may be represented as the
‘Target Pressure’ level.
2) Compressor ‘Unload’ pressure set point. The pressure
at which the compressor will stop/unload.
On 3rd party fully integrated VSD compressor
controllers this value may be represented as the
‘Controlled Stop Pressure’ level.
3) Compressor ‘Target’ pressure set point.
For 3rd party integrated VSD type compressors this
is the pressure that the variable speed drive is set to
maintain.
This value will generally be the same as the
‘load’ pressure set point for 3rd party variable speed
compressors that have fully integrated VSD control
systems. For Ingersoll Rand Bolt-On VSD compressors,
this value will be the mid-point between the ‘load’ and
‘unload’ pressure set points.
NOTE: If the variable speed ‘target’ pressure is set
separately from the compressor controller (in the variable
speed drive controller menu or using a potentiometer
connected to the variable speed drive controller), then
the compressor controller is not a fully integrated type.
In this instance the ‘target’ pressure may have to be
determined by observation and/or experiment.
NOTE: If the compressor pressure set points have
been set with small differentials then the pressure set
points of the compressor will require adjustment before
proceeding.
NOTE: It is recommended that the pressure differential
between the ‘load’ and ‘unload’ (or ‘target’ and ‘controlled
stop’) pressures is a minimum of 7psi (0.5bar).
NOTE: It is recommended that the pressure differential
between the ‘unload’ and ‘excess’ (or ‘controlled stop’ and
‘immediate stop’) pressures is a minimum of 7psi (0.5bar).
VSD Box Configuration
Output Pressure Signal Calibration
Apply power to the VSD Box.
If the VSD Box automatically starts (the green started
indicator illuminates or flashes) press the STOP button.
Using the VSD Box menu routines, set the ‘IC’ (I/O
Configuration - Type) in menu P03 to the correct setting
for the pressure sensor input/output configuration.
VSD Box Network Address
Each VSD compressor connected to the Automation
System unit must be assigned a unique compressor
identification number (1 to the maximum number of
compressors). This number will be the ‘network address’
number for the compressor. The number should be clearly
marked on the compressor for identification purposes.
When connecting a compressor(s) to the VSD Box, always
use the Automation System unit’s unique identification
number as the compressor ‘network address’ number.
Using the VSD Box menu routines, set the ‘Ad’ (Network
Address) in menu P03 to the Automation System unit’s
compressor identification number.
Input Pressure Sensor(s)
The offset and range of the pressure sensor(s) used on
the compressor must be established for VSD Box pressure
sensor calibration. Generally this information is indicated
on the pressure sensor label.
The correct ‘offset’ and ‘range’ values of each pressure
sensor are required for VSD Box ‘input’ pressure sensor
calibration.
Using the VSD Box menu navigation procedure, select
menu page P05 (Output Pressure Calibration). The ‘items’
of this menu enable calibration of the pressure signal(s)
transmitted to the compressor controller.
Pressure Set Points
Establishing and implementing the correct pressure
set points is critical for successful VSD Box operation.
Using VSD Box menu navigation, select menu page P03
(Configuration).
1) Set the ‘Dm’ (Discharge Pressure Maximum Limit) to
the compressor’s ‘Excess Discharge Pressure Alarm’ or
‘Immediate Stop’ pressure setting.
2) If an ‘Internal’ pressure sensor is in use set the
‘Im’ (Internal Pressure Maximum Limit) to the
compressor’s ‘Excess Internal Pressure Alarm’
pressure setting. Typically this value will be at least
12psi (0.8bar) above the excess or alarm ‘discharge’
pressure limit.
Using VSD Box menu navigation, select menu page P01
(Pressure Set Points).
1) Set the ‘Pu’ (Unload) pressure set point to the
compressor’s ‘Unload’ or ‘Controlled Stop’ pressure
set point value.
2) Set the ‘Pt’ (Target) pressure set point to the ‘target’
pressure setting established for the compressor.
3) Set the ‘PL’ (Load) pressure set point to the
compressor’s ‘Load’ or ‘Target’ pressure set point
value.
The main value display should show a pressure value; for
example 0.0 bar. If the display shows dashes (- - - -) check
the ‘Discharge‘ pressure sensor connections.
Note: Wire polarity is important.
If an ‘Internal’ pressure sensor is in use press DOWN to
view the ‘P2’ pressure value in the User menu ‘items’
display. The ‘P2’ value display should show a pressure
value; for example 0.0 bar. If the display shows dashes (- -
- -) check the ‘Internal‘ pressure sensor connections.
Note: Wire polarity is important.
At this stage the displayed pressure values will probably
be incorrect; this is normal.
Calibrate the input ‘Discharge’ pressure sensor, and input
‘Internal’ pressure sensor if used, following the input
‘Pressure Sensor Calibration’ procedure below:
Input and Output pressure calibration is critical for
Using the VSD Box menu navigation procedure, select

SECTION 9 DISPLAY AND MENU OPERATION
MENU NAVIGATION
Display Item Structure:
All value, parameter or option selection displays are
grouped into menu lists. Items are assigned to a list
according to type and classification. Items that can be
used to select options or modify functions are assigned to
‘menu mode’ lists. Items that a User may require to view
during routine operation, detected pressure for example,
are assigned to the normal operational mode list. Lists are
identified by page number; the normal User display list
is page ‘P00’. All parameters and options are assigned to
menu mode pages ‘P01’ or higher. All Page ‘P00’ items are
view only and cannot be adjusted.
Normal Operational Mode (Page P00):
At controller initialization, all display elements and LED
indicators are switched on for three seconds, the display
will then show the software version code for a further
3 seconds before initialization is complete and the
normal operating display (Page P0) is shown. In page
P00 ‘normal operational display mode’ the main display
will continuously show the detected delivery pressure
and the Item display will show the first item of the ‘User’
menu. User menu ‘Items’ can be selected using the Up or
Down buttons at any time. Pressing the Enter button will
lock any selected Item display and inhibit return to the
default display. When an Item display is locked the lock
key symbol will slow flash. To unlock an Item display press
Up or Down to view an alternative Item display or press
Reset or Escape. No Item values, options or parameters
can be adjusted in page ‘P00’. If a fault condition occurs
the fault code becomes the first list item and the display
will automatically jump to display the fault code. More
than one active fault code item can exist at any one time.
Access Code:
Access to page list displays higher than page ‘P00’ is
restricted by access code. To access menu mode pages
press MENU, an access code entry display is shown and
the first code character will flash. Use PLUS or MINUS to
adjust the value of the first code character then press
ENTER. The next code character will flash; use UP or
DOWN to adjust then press ENTER. Repeat for all four
code characters.
Access Code Timeouts:
When in menu mode, if no key activity is detected for a
period of time the display will automatically reset to the
normal operational display; Page ‘P00’.
Menu Mode Navigation:
In menu mode the main value display will flash and show
the Page number. To select a page press UP or DOWN. For
each page the display will show the first Item of the page
list. To view a page list press ENTER, the Page number
will stop flashing and the Item display will flash. Press UP
or DOWN to view the selected page list items. To select
an Item value for modification, press ENTER. The Item
display will stop flashing and the Value display will flash.
The value or option can now be modified by pressing
UP(Plus) or DOWN(Minus). To enter a modified value
or option in memory press, ENTER. Alternatively, the
modification can be abandoned and the original setting
maintained by pressing ESCAPE.
Press ESCAPE at any time in menu mode to step
backwards one stage in the navigation process. Pressing
ESCAPE when the page number is flashing will exit menu
mode and return the display to normal operational mode;
page ‘P00’.
Press and hold RESET for two seconds at any time
to immediately exit menu mode and return to the
normal operational mode display. Any value or option
adjustment that has not been confirmed and entered
into memory will be abandoned and the original setting
maintained
A flashing Key symbol displayed with any Item
indicates the Item is locked and cannot be modified. This will
occur if the Item is view only (non adjustable) or in instances
where the item cannot be adjusted while the EX Box is in
‘Remote Mode’.
If the code number is less than 1000 then the first code
character will be 0(zero). To return to a previous code
character press ESCAPE. When all four code characters
have been set to an authorized code number press
ENTER. An invalid code will return the display to normal
operational mode; page ‘P00’.
Compressor ‘Unload’ pressure set point: The pressure
at which the compressor will stop/unload. On fully
integrated VSD compressor controllers this value may be
represented as the ‘Controlled Stop Pressure’ level. Set
the ‘Pu’ (Unload) pressure set point to the compressor’s
‘Unload’ or ‘Controlled Stop’ pressure set point value.
Pt: Target Pressure
Compressor ‘Target’ pressure set point. For VSD type
compressors this is the pressure that the variable speed
drive is set to maintain. Set the ‘Pt’ (Target) pressure set
point to the ‘target’ pressure setting established for the
compressor.
PL: Load Pressure
Compressor ‘Load’ pressure set point: The pressure
at which the compressor will start/load. On fully
integrated VSD compressor controllers this value may
be represented as the ‘Target Pressure’ level. Set the ‘PL’
(Load) pressure set point to the compressor’s ‘Load’ or
‘Target’ pressure set point value.
Establishing and maintaining the correct pressure set
point values (Pu, Pt and PL ) is critical to the successful
operation of VSD Box control functions.

C< Control Percentage (view only)
The first item of the log error menu is the VSD Box
operational hours (Hr). This is an indication of the
accumulated hours the VSD Box has been operational
and is used to time-stamp fault codes in the error log. The
hours counter has no other function.
The VSD Box operating hours counter is NOT intended
as a measure of compressor operation or running
hours; the hours counter will differ from, and operate
independently from, the compressor hours counter.

Each error log item will show the fault code alternating
with the VSD Box operational hours when the fault
occurred. The error log stores the last 15 faults in
chronological order; item ‘01’ is the most recent fault.
MENU P03 – Configuration
P>: Pressure Units Select
Selects the display pressure units (bar, psi or kPa)
Im: Internal Pressure Maximum Level
If the detected Internal pressure input exceeds this
setting ‘Pressure Control’ is disabled and the detected
Discharge and Internal pressure is transmitted directly
to the compressor controller without alteration. This is
intended as a safety feature that will allow the safety
functions of the compressor controller to respond to
excess pressure situations.
Ad: Network Address
Network address; must be set to the compressor
identification number used by the Automation System
unit for the compressor (1 to the maximum number of
compressors). Each compressor in a system must have a
unique identification number.
PA: Pressure Averaging Factor
Pressure corrections supplied by the Automation System
unit are averaged to prevent abrupt changes and
enable smooth and controlled pressure adjustments.
The Automation System updates pressure information
approximately every two seconds. The ‘Pressure
Averaging Factor’ is the number of previous pressure
corrections that are used for averaging. For example:
a factor of ‘2’ will average the most recent pressure
correction value received with the previous two values
received.
If system volume is large and/or pressure variations are
slow a higher ‘Pressure Averaging Factor’ can be used to
dampen response and smooth control pressure changes.
If system volume is small and/or pressure variations are
fast a lower ‘Pressure Averaging Factor’ should be used
to enable a faster response. In some instances pressure
differential across air treatment and/or small diameter
pipe work can result in sudden and abrupt changes in
detected pressure.
A higher ‘Pressure Averaging Factor’ can be used to
dampen this effect.
IC: I/O Configuration (Type)
Determines the pressure detection and pressure output
signal configuration.
‘1’ – Discharge pressure 4-20mA input with associating
discharge pressure 4-20mA output. Internal pressure is
ignored.
‘2’ – Discharge pressure 4-20mA input and Internal
pressure 4-20mA input with associating 4-20mA outputs.
‘3’ – 0.5V to 4.5V Discharge pressure input with
associating 0.5V to 4.5V output.
Internal pressure is ignored.
Dm: Discharge Pressure Maximum Level
If the detected Discharge pressure input exceeds this
setting ‘Pressure Control’ is disabled and the detected
Discharge pressure (and Internal pressure if in use) is
transmitted directly to the compressor controller without
alteration. This is intended as a safety feature that will
allow the safety functions of the compressor controller to
respond to excess pressure situations.
Note: Internal compressor pressure will increase over time
with an increase in air/oil separator element differential
and will generally be 0.8bar (12psi) above discharge
pressure.
MENU P04 – Input Pressure Calibration
Do: Discharge Pressure Offset
This parameter will be the minimum value of the pressure
transducer, 0 PSI, 0 BAR, or 0 kPA. It can also be used to
create an ‘Offset’ if there is a difference in the zero value
being displayed. The default setting for this parameter is
0 PSI. The values for this parameter are:
“0” when using the minimum value of the pressure
transducer range
A value greater than or less than 0 if the display
does not read 0 or when using an Offset pressure
transducer (an example of an Offset pressure
transducer would be one where the range was minus
PSI (-25) to a positive PSI (200).
The pressure transducer must be vented to
atmosphere when setting the 0 or offset.
Dr: Discharge Pressure Range
This parameter will be the maximum range of the
pressure transducer, 232 PSI, 16 BAR, or 1600 kPA. It can
also be used to create an ‘Offset’ if there is a difference in
the range value being displayed. The default setting for
this parameter is 232 PSI. The values for this parameter
are:
“232” when using the maximum value of the
pressure transducer range
A value greater than or less than 232 if the display
does not read 232.
The pressure transducer must have a known,
accurate pressure applied to it when changing
this value to a value other than 232.
Calibration Checks
When the ‘Discharge’ pressure sensor offset and range
menu items are selected the menu page display value will
change to show the actual detected ‘Discharge’ pressure
measurement. This value can be used to compare with
a ‘known’ pressure applied to the ‘Discharge’ pressure
sensor for accurate calibration purposes. An independent
and accurate means of measuring the applied pressure is
required.
1) Subject the ‘Discharge’ pressure sensor to
atmosphere 0psi (0bar).
2) Adjust the ‘Do’ pressure ‘offset’ value until the
‘Discharge’ pressure displayed by the VSD Box shows
0psi ((0) bar.
3) Apply a known pressure to the ‘Discharge’ pressure
sensor. It is recommended that the applied pressure
is representative of normal working pressure levels.
It is not important if the applied pressure is static or
continuously fluctuating.
4) Adjust the ‘Dr’ pressure ‘range’ value until the
‘Discharge’ pressure displayed by the VSD Box shows
the same as the ‘known’ applied pressure.
The detected pressure is displayed with the
calibration menu item and will change to match the new
calibration setting as the setting is adjusted.
1) Subject the input ‘Discharge’ pressure sensor to
atmosphere 0psi (0bar).
2) Adjust the ‘Do’ pressure signal ‘offset’ value until the
compressor controller’s discharge pressure display
value shows 0psi (0) bar.
3) Apply a known pressure to the input ‘Discharge’
pressure sensor. It is recommended that the applied
pressure is representative of normal working
pressure levels. It is not important if the applied
pressure is static or continuously fluctuating.
4) Adjust the ‘Dr’ pressure signal ‘range’ value until the
compressor controller’s discharge pressure display
value shows the same as the VSD Box discharge
pressure.
Io: Internal Pressure Offset
Use the same procedure as described for Do: to set the
Offset for Io:
Ir: Internal Pressure Range
There is no need for the applied pressure to be static;
it can be dynamic and changing. This enables calibration
to be carried out on a fully operational system where
changing system pressure can be accurately verified from
another source.
Correct pressure sensor set-up and calibration
is critical for successful system operation. It is
recommended that pressure sensor calibration is
examined, and adjusted if necessary, annually or a predetermined routine periodic basis.
Io: Internal Pressure Offset
Use the same procedure as described for Do: to set the
Offset for Io:
Ir: Internal Pressure Range
Use the same procedure as described for Dr: to set the
Offset for Ir:
Follow the same procedure described above for Do: and Dr: Calibration Checks for applying adjustments to the
‘Io’ (Internal offset) and ‘Ir’ (Internal range).
MENU P05 – Output Pressure Calibration
Do: Discharge Pressure Offset
Enter the ‘OFFSET’ value for the ‘Discharge’ pressure signal
in the ‘Do’ menu item. Set this value will to same as the
initial ‘Discharge’ pressure sensor input ‘offset’.
Dr: Discharge Pressure Range
Enter the ‘RANGE’ value for the ‘Discharge’ pressure signal
in the ‘Dr’ menu item. Set this value to the same as the
initial ‘Discharge’ pressure sensor input ‘range’.
Calibration Checks
When the output ‘Discharge’ pressure signal offset and
range menu items are selected the menu page display
value will change to show the actual detected input
‘Discharge’ pressure measurement. This value represents
the pressure the VSD Box is attempting to transmit to the
compressor controller and can be used to compare with
the compressor controller’s displayed pressure value.
Use the same procedure as described for Dr: to set the
Offset for Ir:
Follow the same procedure described above for Do: and Dr: Calibration Checks for applying adjustments to the
‘Io’ (Internal offset) and ‘Ir’ (Internal range).
Input and Output pressure calibration is critical to
the successful operation of VSD Box functions and must
be examined, and adjusted if necessary, periodically on a
routine basis.
MENU P08 – Speed Monitoring
FL: Frequency at Minimum Speed
Used for optional ‘Speed Monitoring Kit’ if fitted. Must be
set to 0(zero) if speed detection is not in use.
Note: Intended for inverter drive variable speed type
compressors.
The inverter drive output frequency at the compressor’s
minimum operating speed.
When this menu item is selected the menu page
number display will change to show the actual detected
frequency. By restricting the output air from the
compressor the compressor inverter drive can be forced
to minimum speed. Set the value to the lowest frequency
detected.
The frequency setting must represent the lowest
inverter drive output frequency that will occur in normal
operation.
FH: Frequency at Maximum Speed
Used for optional ‘Speed Monitoring Kit’ if fitted. Must be
set to 0(zero) if speed detection is not in use. Intended for
inverter drive variable speed type compressors.
The inverter drive output frequency at the compressor’s
maximum operating speed.

When this menu item is selected the menu page
number display will change to show the actual detected
frequency. By creating a demand for air the compressor
inverter drive can be forced to maximum speed. Set the
value to the highest frequency detected.
The frequency setting must represent the maximum
(100%) inverter drive output frequency that will occur in
normal operation.
C>: Control Percentage
This menu item value is view only and cannot be
adjusted. The value represents the variation in inverter
drive output frequency; where 0% is minimum speed and
100% is maximum speed.
Note: The ‘Control Percentage’ value represents the
percentage of speed variation from minimum speed to
maximum speed and differs from the ‘User’ menu percent
motor speed value. This value is used internally by the
VSD Box for Automation System unit functions and is
only active when an optional ‘Speed Monitoring Kit’ is
installed.

Fault Codes
If a VSD Box fault, or auxiliary input fault, occurs the ‘Item’
display will show a fault code:
0080E Auxiliary Input Shutdown Trip
P2* ‘Internal’ output pressure transmitted to the
compressor controller.
SP** Percent motor speed
C> VSD Box Status
(*) The ‘Internal’ output pressure item is only shown if the
‘Internal’ pressure control function is activated (IC = 2).
(**) The percentage motor speed item is only shown
if a ‘Speed Monitoring Kit’ is fitted and the function is
activated (Menu P08).
Discharge Output Pressure:
The discharge output pressure is manipulated during
‘Pressure Control’ and will differ from the actual ‘Input
Discharge’ pressure displayed as the main display value.
Pressure control function can be observed by comparing
the ‘Output’ discharge pressure with the actual detected
‘Input’ discharge pressure. The two pressures will be
identical when ‘Pressure Control’ is not active.
Internal Output Pressure:
The internal output pressure is manipulated during
‘Pressure Control’ to simulate and maintain the actual
detected differential between the ‘Input’ discharge
pressure and the ‘Input’ Internal pressure. This
functionality allows compressor controller differential
pressure monitoring functions to be maintained
regardless of VSD Box output pressure signal
manipulation.

Ingersoll Rand
Instruktionsmanual
System Automatisering
VSD boks
Inden enheden installeret eller opstartes første gang, bør
denne manual gennemgås nøje med henblik på at forstå
hvordan enheden fungerer og/eller hvilke opgaver, der skal
udføres under drift og vedligeholdelse af enheden.
OPBEVAR DENNE MANUAL SAMMEN MED ENHEDEN.
Denne tekniske manual indeholder VIGTIGE SIKKERHEDSDATA og bør altid opbevares sammen med enheden.
VSD-boksen er beregnet til at give en metode til
systemintegration hos en VSD-kompressor (Variable
Speed Drive), som ikke er udstyret med nogen
tilgængelige former for erntilslutning
(såsom Ingersoll Rand Nirvana). VSD-boksen
giver den nødvendige funktionalitet som behøves
til systemintegration og effektiv kontrol med
automationssystemet X8I .
AFSNIT 3 SIKKERHED
ADVARSEL : Risiko for fare
ADVARSEL : Risiko for elektrisk stød
ADVARSEL : Risiko for højt tryk
ADVARSEL : Se i manualen
Inden du installerer eller anvender VSD-boksen, skal
•
du tage dig tid til at læse alle instruktionerne i denne
manual, alle kompressormanualer og alle manualer
der er tilknyttet perifere enheder, som kan installeres
i eller sluttes til dette produkt.
Elektricitet og trykluft har potentiale til at forårsage
•
alvorlig person- eller tingsskade.
Operatøren bør brug sin sunde fornuft samt gode
•
arbejdsmetoder i tilslutning med anvendels og
vedligeholdelse af systemet. Alle relevante koder bør
overholdes nøje.
Vedligeholdelsesarbejde skal udføres af kvalificeret
•
personale, som er udstyret med rette værktøj.
VSD-boksen må kun anvendes med den tiltænkte
•
forsyningsspænding og -frekvens.
Når strømmen er slået til, er der dødbringende
•
spænding tilstede i de elektriske kredsløb, hvilket
betyder, at der skal udvises ekstrem forsigtighed, når
der skal udføres arbejde på enheden.
Åben ikke adgangspanelerne og rør ikke ved de
•
elektriske komponenter, når der er aktiv spænding,
medmindre det er nødvendigt for at kunne foretage
målinger, tests eller justeringer. Sådant arbejde
bør kun udføres af en kvalificeret elektriker, som
er i besiddelse af det korrekte værktøj, og som
har den nødvendige beskyttelse mod elektriske
faremomenter.
Alle luftkompressorer og/eller andet udstyr, der er
•
forbundet med enheden, bør være udstyret med et
advarselsskilt ved siden af displaypanelet som siger
at “DENNE ENHED KAN STARTE UDEN VARSEL”.
Hvis en luftkompressor og/eller andet udstyr som er
•
sluttet til enheden skal ernstartes, skal der påsættes
to skilte på udstyret med følgende besked: ‘DENNE
ENHED KAN FJERNSTARTES’. Påsæt et skilt et på en
synlig placering, et på ydersiden af udstyret og det
andet inde i udstyrets kontrolskab.
MONTERING
Monteringsarbejdet må kun udføres af en kompetent
•
person under kvalificeret opsyn.
Der skal anbringes en sammensmeltet
•
isoleringsafbryder mellem hovedstrømforsyningen
og VSD-boksen.
VSD-boksen skal monteres på et sted, hvor
•
der er drifts- og vedligeholdelsesadgang uden
forhindringer eller fare, og indikatorerne skal altid
forblive synlige.
Hvis der er brug for forhøjede platforme til at give
•
adgang til VSD-boksen, må de ikke forstyrre den
normale drift eller adgang. Platforme og trapper
skal være rist- eller pladekonstruerede med
sikkerhedsrælinger til alle åbne sider.
DRIFT
VSD-boksen må kun anvendes af kompetent
•
personale under kvalificeret opsyn.
Fjern eller rod aldrig med de sikkerhedsaggregater,
•
afskærmninger og isoleringsmaterialer som er
monteret på VSD-boksen.
VEDLIGEHOLDELSE OG REPARATION
Vedligeholdelse, reparation og ændringer må kun
•
udføres af kompetent personale under kvalificeret
opsyn.
Hvis der kræves reservedele, må der kun anvendes
•
originale dele fra den oprindelige fabrikant, eller fra
en anden godkendt kilde.
Udfør følgende trin, inden der åbnes eller ernes
•
adgangspaneler, samt før der udføresarbejde på
VSD-boksen:
Isoler VSD-boksen fra
i.
hovedstrømforsyningen. Fastlås isolatoren i
OFF-positionen og ern sikringerne.
Påsæt en etiket på isolatorkafbryderen og
ii.
på enheden´med teksten “ARBEJDE PÅGÅR
- TILFØR IKKE SPÆNDING”. Der må ikke sluttes
elektrisk strøm eller forsøges at starte VSDboksen, hvis et sådant advarselsskilt er påsat.
Vær sikker på, at alle instruktioner vedrørende drift
•
og vedligeholdelse følges nøje samt at enheden,
såvel som alt tilbehør og sikkerhedsanordninger,
holdes i god tilstand.
