24 COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
4.10.1
The Sullivan-Palatek Electronic Controller (SPEC) monitors all critical compressor and engine parameters,
provides warning and shutdown information and has complete engine diagnostic capabilities. Parameters
monitored by the SPEC include engine speed, compressor temperature, engine oil pressure, engine
temperature, battery voltage and fuel level. The SPEC provides warning and shutdown information from
high compressor temperature and low fuel level. It also has complete engine diagnostic capabilities that can
read and display fault codes from the engine ECU. Multiple language options are available including English,
Spanish, French, Italian and German.
NOTE! Engine derate and derate and shutdown are controlled by the engine ECU and displayed on the SPEC. For
more information about the SPEC display, refer to page 11.

4.10.2
When this switch is positioned on LOW, the compressor will run at the set point of the low pressure regulator
(100 psi discharge pressure). When switched to the HIGH option, the compressor will run at the set point of
the high pressure regulator (150 psi discharge pressure).
4.10.3 SWITCH
The START-RUN switch unloads the compressor for easier start-up. When positioned on START, this switch
bypasses the pressure-regulating valve, thereby closing the inlet valve with reduced discharge pressure.
switch can be turned to RUN position. The unit is then
ready for full-load operations.
Prior to shutdown, the switch must be turned to the START position and the service valve
opened and closed to reduce pressure to approximately 70 psi or less. Shutdown under full load can damage
the compressor and put unnecessary strain on the drive components.
4.10.4 IGNITION SWITCH
When the START button is pressed on the ignition switch, the engine starter motor solenoid is electrically
energized. Using the STOP button puts the machine into a mandatory cooldown state.
