7.5 Warnings
Warning codes are flashed with a 0.5 second on / 0.5 second off sequence with the Amber light located
on the control panel. In addition the light will illuminate on initial start up for a period of 5 seconds, to
serve as a lamp test function. The lamp has a 22 mm base and a LED lamp for long trouble free life.
7.5.1 One Flash - Final Separator Warning
The high pressure-breathing compressor is equipped with a final separator. This is a stainless steel ves-
sel, approximately 3-3/4 inch diameter, located on the purification panel, beside the compressor. To
prevent fatigue failure of this vessel, the PLC program monitors the pressurization / de-pressurization
cycles of this separator and will issue a Warning, and then later an Alarm function.
The program is set up for a 90% warning and a 100% shutdown alarm for this counter feature. The pro-
gram would be configured to reflect the following values when it is built.
When the warning is illuminated, the unit will still continue to function properly, but will prompt the
operator to contact Bauer Compressors for making arrangements to replace the separator. When the
Alarm level has been achieved, the compressor will no longer function, and will require the replace-
ment of the separator. When this is accomplished, the unit can be re-activated by making adjustments to
the PLC. Please contact Bauer Product Support for detailed instructions.
