CHAPTER 2: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS; MAPLE SYSTEM
2.1

Description
The following instructions apply to units that use the Maple System touchscreen Operator Interface,
MNR-0049.
The Electrical Panel Assembly will provide logical control and safety shutdowns for the compressor
equipment. All necessary time delays, counters, shutdowns, sequencing and safety features are incorporated into a proprietary software program permanently saved into PLC memory using EEPROM technology. The software program is based on the pressure and use of the compressor. The operator uses the
Operator Interface to communicate with the PLC in the Electrical Panel Assembly Controls

2.1.1 Emergency Stop Button


A Normally Closed switch when pulled out, when the E-Stop Button is pressed in, it disconnects the
main power source, turning off the compressor, draining the ACD system and stopping air delivery to
the consuming devices. This button is to be used in case of emergency. Normal operational stops should
be accomplished using the operator interface.
2.1.2 Operator Interface
The Operator Interface is a 4.3 inch, 256 color, 8 bit LCD with touchscreen operation. The Operator
Interface is the input/output device for normal operation of the compressor unit. The compressor system
is ready and able to operate after the Emergency Stop Switch is pulled out and the Operator Interface status lights and screen illuminates.

2.1.2.2.6 Maintenance
This button leads to the Maintenance screen. Here the maintenance tasks can be looked at in terms of
hours of operation or in terms of calendar days. See Table 2-1 and 2-2 at the end of this chapter.
^ NOTE ^
All maintenance intervals refer to normal operating conditions. Operating the compressor under extreme
conditions like high temperatures or high humidity may shorten the intervals significantly. If in doubt,
please contact the Bauer Product Support Department.
Maintenance Records
We recommend that all maintenance work be recorded, showing the date and details of the work carried
out. This will help to avoid expensive repairs caused by missed maintenance work. If it is necessary to
make a claim against the warranty, it will help to have proof that regular maintenance has been carried out
and that the damage has not been caused by insufficient maintenance.
Calendar Maintenance Intervals
Each Calendar Interval Task includes all tasks in the previous Calendar Interval, i.e. All the Monthly
Tasks are done along with the Annual Tasks.

IK150 II AND IK180 II COMPRESSOR BLOCK

Maintenance and Parts

3.1.1 Description
The IK150 II or IK180 II compressor is used to compress air up to 5000 psi.
The IK150 II or IK180 II compressor is a four cylinder, four stage air cooled, oil lubricated reciprocating
compressor. The 4th stage cylinder is lubricated by means of the forced feed lubrication system, while the
other cylinders are splash lubricated. The cylinders are arranged 90 apart, with the 1st and 2nd stage, and
the 3rd and 4th stage opposite each other. These compressor blocks are particularly suitable for continuous operation because of their rugged design and corrosion resistant intermediate filter and cooler assemblies.

Lubrication System

3.1.2.1 Description.
The compressor is provided with forced-feed lubrication. The oil pressure is produced by a low revving
gear pump. The oil pressure is between 44 psi and 87 psi (3 to 6 bar).

^ CAUTION
This oil pump must be operated in the correct direction of rotation, other wise no oil pressure will be built
up and the compressor may be damaged.
(See Figure 3-4) The oil pump (1) is coupled to and driven by the crankshaft. It pumps oil from the crankcase through an oil filter (2) and the oil pressure regulating valve (3) to the 4th stage cylinder. The oil is
then distributed by the guide piston of the 4th stage and lubricates all the moving parts of the compressor
block. The oil pressure sensor (5) allows mounting for an optional oil pressure gauge or electronic pressure monitoring.

3. Oil Pressure Regulating Valve
3.1.2.2 Oil Level Check
(See Figure 3-5). Check the oil level at the oil filler sight gauge on the compressor block every day before
putting the compressor into operation. Oil level must never be below the minimum mark molded into the
sight gauge as this will cause severe damage due to lack of lubrication. Overfilling is prevented by the
design of the filler neck; i.e. oil should be filled right to the edge of the opening.

3.1.2.3 Oil Change Interval


The synthetic oil should be changed every 2,000 operating hours or biennially, whichever is reached first.
3.1.2.4 Oil Capacity
The oil capacity is approximately 6.5 quarts (6.0 liters). The amount of oil between the minimum and
maximum marks is approximately 1.7 quarts (1.6 liters).
3.1.2.5

Oil Change

1. Run the compressor until it is warm.


2. Remove cap from Oil Filler Sight Gauge.
3.

Open the Oil Drain Plug.

^ CAUTION
Replace the oil filter at every oil change, otherwise when the filter becomes clogged
a bypass valve opens and the oil circulates without being filtered.
4. (See Figure 3-6) Remove two bolts (1) with a 13 mm wrench. Remove cover (2).
5. (See Figure 3-7) Remove the Oil Filter (1) from the rubber gasket at the cover.
6. Mount a new filter element and replace and fasten cover.
7. Fill new oil through filler neck to the Maximum mark on the Oil Fill Sight Gauge.
8. Pour oil in slowly, wait a few minutes until the level settles then replace cap in the Oil Fill Sight
Gauge.
9. Return the unit to operation.

Venting the Oil Pump

^ CAUTION
To avoid damage after maintenance the following measures should be strictly adhered to.
(See Figure 3-7). If after the start of the compressor no oil pressure builds up, venting the oil pump may
be necessary, especially after maintenance and repair work. It may also be necessary if the unit has been
operated in the wrong direction of rotation.
1. With the unit running, open the condensate drain valves.
2. Open Oil Pump Vent Plug (2) and wait until oil comes out bubble free.
3. Replace Oil Vent Plug.

^ WARNING
Dynamic Loading
The rapid depressurizing and repressurizing of an intermediate separator during condensate draining subjects it to metallurgical stresses. To prevent catastrophic failure with the possibility of damage, injury or
death the intermediate separator must be replaced after 85,000 load cycles. A load cycle equals one depressurization- repressurization. The Bauer recommended frequency of condensate draining is every fifteen
minutes and is a balance between maximizing the life of the separator chamber and maintaining the quality
of the delivered air.

3.1.4

Intermediate Separators

3.1.4.1 Description
Two intermediate separators are mounted on the compressor, one after the 2nd stage and another after 3rd
stage. These separators are designed to remove oil and water which accumulates due to the cooling of the
air after the compression process. Separation is achieved by means of centrifugal action. In the 2nd stage
separator the design of the filter head provides this action. In the 3rd stage separator the centrifugal action
is provided by a vortex plate additionally a sintered metal filter is provided to remove dirt contamination.
3.1.4.2 Maintenance
The Intermediate Separators require no maintenance.
3.1.5

Compressor Valves and Valve Heads

3.1.5.1 Functional Description


The valve heads of the individual stages form the upper part of the cylinders. The inlet and pressure
valves are fitted inside the valve heads.
When the piston moves downwards, the resultant vacuum in the piston cylinder opens the inlet valve.
When the piston moves upwards, the inlet valve is closed and the pressure valve opened by the pressure
created in the compression process. See Figure 3-11.

3.1.5.2 Initial Operational Check of the Valves


After roughly half an hour of operation, the valves should be checked. The outlet piping should be hot if
the valves are operating properly. Note that the inlet line to the valve heads should be warm to the touch.

^ WARNING
Do not touch the outlet piping with bare hands, use a thermometer.

3.1.5.3 General Instructions for Changing the Valves
Please observe the following instructions for valve maintenance:
1. Always replace valves as a complete set.
2. Carefully clean dirty valves. Never use a sharp tool for this purpose. Soak the valves in Varsol and
clean with a soft brush.
3. Check the individual components for excessive wear. If the valve seat or valve discs are dented,
replace the valves.
4. Check the valve space in the valve heads for dirt, and clean if necessary.
5. Use only satisfactory gaskets and O-rings during reassembly.
6. Observe the correct sequence when reassembling.
7. After finishing all maintenance work on the valves, turn the compressor manually using the flywheel and check whether all items have been correctly installed.
8. 30 minutes after restarting the compressor, stop the unit, let it cool down to ambient temperature,
and retighten valve studs and cap nuts. Otherwise the gasket set may cause a leak.
9. Remove and check the valves every 1000 operating hours.
10. Replace the valves every 2000 operating hours to avoid fatigue failure.

Automatic Condensate Drain System

3.2.1 Description
The automatic condensate drain system operates electropneumatically and is comprised of the following:
A condensate manifold
Two pneumatically operated condensate drain valves
An electrically controlled solenoid valve
A condensate separator/silencer
A condensate collector bottle
Electronically controlled by the PLC
The automatic condensate drain system drains the intermediate separators and the oil and water separator
every 15 minutes during operation. Additionally the automatic condensate drain system unloads the compressor during the starting phase and drains these separators at shutdown of the compressor unit.

3.2.1.1 Compressor Operating


The normally open Solenoid Valve (1) controls the condensate draining of the 1st stage Intermediate Separators (3). The control pressure for the ACD System comes from the inlet to the BK15.3II compressor.
As the compressor is started, the Solenoid Valve (1) is electrically energized and closes. This results in
control pressure closing both Condensate Drain Valves (2).
3.2.1.2 Condensate Draining
Every 15 minutes the PLC Timer de-energizes the Solenoid Valve (1) for approximately 6 seconds. The
Solenoid Valve (1) opens and drains the condensation from the Final Separator (4).
As the pressure of the control air drops, the pistons of the 2nd stage Condensate Drain Valves (2) become
unloaded and the pistons of the Condensate Drain Valves are fully raised and the condensate is drained
from the Intermediate Separators (3).
3.2.1.3 Start Unloading
The unloading of the compressor during the starting phase is possible because of the lack of control air
immediately after starting the unit. As the unit is switched on the solenoid valve (1) is energized and
closes. After the compressor has attained nominal speed, pressure builds in the intermediate separators (2
and 3) and the control air closes the condensate drain valves (4 and 5). Once these valves close, the compressor delivers to the consuming device.
3.2.1.4 Standstill Drainage
After the Selector Switch is turned to OFF and the compressor stops running, the Solenoid Valve (1) is
de-energized and opens. This drains the condensate and relieves the pressure in the 1st stage Intermediate
Separators (2).
3.2.1.5 Condensate Drain Piping
The outlet of the Condensate Drain Manifold is directed into a Condensate Collector.
Page 66

1st Edition, Rev. 2 Chg. 2

MNL-0375
3.2.1.6 Condensate Collection
The condensate drainage is a mixture of oil, water and air. The Condensate Collection Tank is where the
oil and water mixture is stored until it can be disposed of properly.
3.2.2 ACD Maintenance
The condensate drain valves are provided with manual drain valves to verify correct operation of the
automatic system.
The automatic condensate drain system must be serviced once a week as follows:
1. Open all manual drain valves one after the other.
2. Observe the drainage of condensation.
3. If the system drains more than 2 ounces of liquid per stage, either the system or the corresponding
condensate drain valve is not working properly.
4. Find the fault and remedy accordingly.
5. If little or no condensation emerges, the automatic system is operating properly.
6. The Condensate Collection Tank should be emptied regularly. Due care must be taken to ensure that
any oil which is drained with the condensate is disposed of properly. Check local, state and federal
regulations.

CHAPTER 4:

PURIFICATION SYSTEM

4.1 Introduction
The purpose of all Bauer breathing air purification systems is to remove Carbon Monoxide, oil, water,
taste and odor from the compressed air stream before final delivery.
The purpose of all Bauer industrial air purification systems is to remove oil and water from the compressed air stream before final delivery.

^ WARNING
Industrial Air Purification System cartridges do not remove Carbon Monoxide and must not be used in
breathing air applications.
4.1.1

General Purification System Procedures

1. Keep an accurate record of operating hours to ensure exact attention to maintenance intervals
2. Change all cartridges before reactivating a compressor unit that has been out of service more than
three months. Leave cartridges in the unit as long as it is out of service.
3. While out of service keep all condensate drain valves closed. Maintain a pressure of 700 to 1,100
psi (50 to 80 bar) within the system to prevent moisture from entering the compressor and purification system.
4.1.2 Chamber Safety Bore
The chambers in all Bauer purification systems are designed to prevent pressurization if the cartridge is
missing, not seated properly or damaged (See Figure 4-1). Without a cartridge properly in place the
safety bore is not sealed, the air escapes into the atmosphere, no pressure can be built up and thus it is
ensured that unfiltered air is not supplied to the consuming device. If air is escaping from the safety
bore remove and check cartridge. If necessary replace the cartridge or O-rings.

4.1.3 Manual Condensate Drainage


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

4.1.7 Cartridge Operating Life


Every Bauer Purification System is designed to process a certain volume of air before the cartridges
require replacement. By using special test equipment that measures the quality of air at the outlet any
quality reduction may be detected. However as most compressor owners do not have this test equipment the recommended method of determining cartridge operating life is to maintain a written record of
the volume of air processed by the purification system.
Each Bauer compressor block is rated to produce a standard volume of air per minute and by using this
number and the air processing capability of the purification system it is possible to calculate the maximum operating hours before the cartridges need to be replaced. See Paragraph 4.1.7.1 for the method of
determining this figure.
The ambient air temperature and its ability to cool the compressor will effect the operating life of the
cartridge. See Paragraph 4.1.7.2 for the method of calculating this adjustment factor.
The optimum place to measure the temperature is at the inlet to the final separator as this best reflects
the temperature of the air as it enters the chambers. Experience has shown that this temperature is

Page 78

1st Edition, Rev. 2 Chg. 2

MNL-0375
approximately 10 F above the ambient temperature. Therefore for the purpose of calculating cartridge
operating life use the Ambient Air Temperature plus 10 F.
A form titled Air Purification Cartridge Operating Hours is found in Paragraph 4.1.7.3 and in the
Appendices. It is used for recording the ambient temperature, operating time and adjustment factor. It
is suggested that it be copied, placed in a protective folder and kept with the unit to record the adjusted
operating hours. An example of how this form is used is shown in Figure 1-5.
4.1.7.1

Calculating the Maximum Cartridge Operating Hours

1. From the purification system data plate (See Figure 4-2) on the purification chamber determine the
Air Processed (cu.ft.)
2. From the paragraph titled Compressor Specifications in the instruction manual for your compressor
unit determine the Charging Rate in SCFM of your compressor.
3. Divide the Air Processed by the Charging Rate to obtain the Maximum Operating Time in minutes
4. Divide the Maximum Operating Time in minutes by 60 to obtain the Maximum Operating Hours.
5. Record the answer on the Air Purification Cartridge Operating Hours form.
4.1.7.2

Calculating the Adjusted Cartridge Operating Hours

1. Using the Air Purification Cartridge Operating Hours form (FORM-0018) record the Date, Operating Hours and Ambient Air Temperature plus 10 F.
2. Using either the graph or the chart in Figure 1-4 determine the Correction Factor.
3. Divide the Operating Hours by the Correction Factor and record it under the column labeled Today.
4. Add the hours recorded in Today to the previous Total and record it as the current Total.
5. When the Total approaches the Maximum Operating Hours replace the Cartridges.

Component Description

4.3.1

Oil and Water Separator

^ WARNING
The rapid depressurizing and repressurizing of the oil and water separator during condensate draining subjects it to metallurgical stresses. To prevent catastrophic failure with the possibility of damage, injury or
death the oil and water separator (P/N 079416) must be replaced after a predetermined number of cycles.
One load cycle equals one pressurization plus one depressurization.
Units operating between 3,000 and 5,000 psi = 130,000 load cycles (32,500 hours of operation)
Units operating between 5,000 and 6,000 psi = 22,000 load cycles (13,750 hours of operation)
The Bauer recommended frequency of condensate draining is every fifteen minutes and is a balance
between maximizing the life of the separator chamber and maintaining the quality of the delivered air.
The air leaving the final stage is cooled in the aftercooler to approximately 18 - 27 F (10 -15 C) above
ambient temperature and then enters the oil and water separator. The oil and water separator works by
means of a sintered metal filter which separates liquid oil and water particles from the compressed air
Figure 4-6

Oil and Water Separator Labels

4.3.2 Chamber
Each chamber is made up of an anodized aluminum housing and a filtering cartridge. There are two general types of filtering cartridges, drying or purifying. The cartridge type is determined by the ingredients
packed in the cartridge. The chamber is named after the type of cartridge it contains, i.e. dryer chamber or
purification chamber.
4.3.3

storage cylinders or tanks.
4.3.6 Bleed Valve
A manually operated valve used to release the pressure in the chamber before maintenance.
4.3.7 Pressure Maintaining Valve
The pressure maintaining valve ensures that pressure is built up in the system from the start of delivery,
thus achieving constant optimum purification. It also assures proper working conditions for the final
stage of compression.
4.3.8 Safety Valve
The safety valve is located on the coalescing oil and water separator and acts as the safety valve for the
final stage of the compressor.
4.3.9 Securus II Electronic Moisture Monitor System
The Securus II Electronic Moisture Monitor System warns the operator in advance of expiration of the
life of the cartridges. The Securus II Transmitter receives signals concerning the condition of the drying
agent inside the Securus cartridge from the attached sensors and supplies the appropriate control signals
whenever the preset threshold values have been reached.
4.3.9.1 Securus Cartridge
The Securus Cartridge is packed with a catalyst which converts carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide,
activated carbon which absorbs oil vapors, molecular sieve which absorbs oil and water and the sensor
components of the Securus II Electronic Moisture Monitor System.

Maintenance of the V-belt and Sheaves

5.2.1 Check The Sheaves.


Before a new set of drive belts are installed, the condition of the sheaves should be checked. Dirty or
rusty sheaves impair the drives efficiency and abrade the cover of the belts, which results in premature
failure. Worn sheaves shorten belt life as much as 50%. If the grooves are worn to the point where the
belt bottoms, slippage may result and the belts may burn. If the side walls are dished out, the bottom
shoulder ruins the belt prematurely by wearing off the bottom corners.
Page 96

1st Edition, Rev. 2 Chg. 2

MNL-0375
5.2.2 Check the V-belt
Check the V-belt regularly for damage and wear. Replace if necessary. V-belt tension is adjusted automatically by the spring tension idler.
5.2.3 Replacing the Belt
To replace the belt use a spanner wrench or special tool if provided to pull idler pulley away from belt.
The belt should be slack enough to pull off of the flywheel and motors sheave. Replace with the correct
replacement belt and let the idler slowly engage the belt, making it tight.

NOTICE
Do Not let the idler return until new belt is in place. If the idler does return to its neutral position it is
extremely hard to get it back to the proper spring position.
5.2.4 Replacing the Sheave
A gear puller can be used to remove the sheave and sheave bushing from the motors drive shaft. Ensure
the drive shaft is clean then slide the new sheave onto the drive shaft. Bolt the sheave bushing onto the
sheave then tap the feathered key into the key slot. Ensure the feathered key is snug with both the shaft
and sheave. There should no play once the key is in place. The feathered key should run the entire length
of the bushing and sheave keyslots.

Alarms
The following paragraphs describe the warning and alarm conditions that are monitored and controlled
by the Electrical Panel.

6.5.1 Final Separator Warning


The high pressure-breathing compressor is equipped with a final separator. This is a stainless steel vessel, approximately 3 inch diameter, located on the purification panel. To prevent fatigue failure of this
vessel, the PLC program monitors the pressurization and depressurization cycles of this separator and
will first issue a Warning, and then later an Alarm function.
The program is set up for a 90% warning and a 100% shutdown alarm for this counter feature. The program would be configured to reflect the following values when it is built.
Table 6-1:

Final Separator Warning and Shutdown Cycle Count

Maximum Compressor Pressure

Warning

Shutdown

5,000 psi

117,000 cycles

130,000 cycles

6,000 psi

49,500 cycles

55,000 cycles

When the warning is displayed, the unit will still continue to function properly, but will prompt the
operator to contact Bauer Compressors to make arrangements to replace the separator. When the Alarm
level has been achieved, the compressor will no longer function, and will require the replacement of the
separator. When this is accomplished, the unit can be reactivated by making adjustments to the PLC
software. Please contact Bauer Product Support for detailed instructions.

October 22, 2009

Page 107

UNICUS III
^ WARNING
Do not attempt to override this Separator Shutdown. This feature is provided to protect
operating personnel from injury or death.
6.5.2 Securus Electronic Moisture Monitor System
The compressor purification system may be equipped with an optional Securus II Electronic Moisture
Monitor System. The Securus II Electronic Moisture Monitor System warns the operator in advance of
expiration of the life of the cartridges. The Securus II Transmitter receives signals concerning the condition of the drying agent inside the Securus cartridge from the attached sensors and supplies the
appropriate control signals whenever the preset threshold values have been reached.
6.5.2.1 Securus Cartridge
The Securus Cartridge is packed with a catalyst which converts carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide,
activated carbon which absorbs oil vapors, molecular sieve which absorbs oil and water and the sensor
components of the Securus II Electronic Moisture Monitor System.
6.5.2.2 Securus II Transmitter
See Figure 6-11. The Securus II Transmitter relays the operating condition of the Securus II Electronic Moisture Monitor System to the Operator Interface. The Securus II issues a warning when the
Securus cartridge is approaching saturation, to warn the user to prepare to change the Securus cartridge. On a Securus Warning condition, the compressor will run normally and the warning will be
shown on the Operator Interface. Once the Securus cartridge has reached total saturation the Securus
II Transmitter will issue an alarm condition to the Operator Interface and shut down the unit. Once the
Securus II cartridge is replaced it is possible to restart the compressor. The Securus II Transmitter is
removed and replaced by rotating the blue plastic Securus II Transmitter approximately turn. It is
not necessary to disconnect or remove the DIN Connector.

mounted with the oil pressure gauge. During start-up of the compressor, the oil pressure sensor is
bypassed for a time period set in the program by OIL PRESS TD parameter. This allows the oil
pressure to stabilize at operating pressure before the an alarm is sensed. After this initial time period,
should the compressor lose oil pressure, the Oil Pressure Sensor will cause the alarm to be displayed on
the Operator Interface.
6.5.5 Compressor Overrun Timer
The compressor has an timer, where if the compressor runs continuously for a number of hours set by
the OVERRUNTIMER parameter, the compressor will shutdown, and the alarm will be displayed
on the Operator Interface. This is done to secure the equipment if it were to be started and left unattended.
6.5.6 Carbon Monoxide Monitor Alarm
See Figure 6-14. The compressor system may be equipped with an optional Carbon Monoxide Monitor.
This consists of an electronic module that samples the compressed air supply. The unit will provide a
continuous display of the Carbon Monoxide level in ppm, parts per million.The unit should be calibrated with a test gas monthly. Refer to the manual section on the Carbon Monoxide Monitor. If the
Carbon Monoxide level becomes excessively high, then the monitor will alarm with a red light. The
alarm relay in the Carbon Monoxide Monitor is connected to the PLC. Refer to Wiring Diagram for

additional information. On a Carbon Monoxide Alarm condition, the compressor will shutdown, and
the alarm will be displayed on the Operator Interface.

Carbon Monoxide Monitor

6.5.7 Condensate Fault


See Figure 6-15. The compressor condensate level switch is located in the condensate collection tank,
below the Automatic Condensate Drain separator. The switch is N.O., Normally Open, and is connected to the PLC. Refer to wiring diagram for additional information. As the condensate tank fills up
the Condensate Level Float Switch rises until it closes. At this time the compressor will shutdown and
the alarm will be displayed on the Operator Interface. The operator should drain the condensate from
the tank and resume operation of the equipment.
Figure 6-15

Condensate Level Float Switch

NOTICE
The compressor condensate contains some oil, and accordingly, should be disposed of in
accordance with state and local regulations.

6.5.8 Motor Starter Overload Trip
The compressor overload relay is located in the Electrical Panel, See Figure 6-8. Under normal operating conditions, the switch is open. On an Overload Trip of the motor, the compressor will shutdown,
and the Alarm will be displayed on the Operator Interface.

CARBON MONOXIDE MONITOR

Description
The Carbon Monoxide (CO) Monitor is a factory installed option which may have been ordered with
your unit.
The Carbon Monoxide Monitor, Bauer P/N; MNR-0029, is a standalone assembly, which may be
installed on a compressor unit or trailer.(See Figure 7-1).
The Carbon Monoxide Monitor, Bauer P/N; MNR-0033 (See Figure 7-2) appears outwardly identical to
MNR-0029 but is designed for use with a remote display, which can be located up to 100 feet from the
compressor unit. The Remote Display, Bauer P/N; MNR-0034, is powered by the Carbon Monoxide
Monitor, MNR-0033.

The Carbon Monoxide (CO) Monitor is designed to provide continuous monitoring of the carbon
monoxide levels in breathing air.
The Carbon Monoxide Monitor is enclosed in a NEMA-4X case and operates on 12 VDC or 120
VAC.
Page 126

1st Edition, Rev. 2 Chg. 2

MNL-0375
Calibration adjustment is performed automatically by the internal microprocessor.
The Carbon Monoxide Sensor Cell has a life expectancy of one and a half to three years if the calibration check is done every 30 days as recommended.
7.1.1 Component Description
The following are the major components for the standard and trailer Carbon Monoxide Monitor Assembly installations. See Figure 7-3.
Figure 7-3

Carbon Monoxide Monitor Flow Diagram

7.1.1.1 Isolation Valve


Controls the input of air from the compressor to the Carbon Monoxide Monitor.
7.1.1.2 High Pressure to Low Pressure Regulator
Typically set for 50 psi out with 5,000 psi in.
7.1.1.3 Relief Valve
A relief valve which is factory set to 165 psi to prevent over-pressurization of the Carbon Monoxide
Monitor.
7.1.1.4 Solenoid Valve
Allows air to flow to the Carbon Monoxide Monitor when the compressor is running.
7.1.1.5 Inlet Regulator
A regulator the operator uses to set the appropriate rate of flow (0.5 to 0.8 SCFH) to the Carbon Monoxide Monitor.
7.1.1.6 Carbon Monoxide Monitor
The Carbon Monoxide Monitor contains the LCD Display, Flowmeter, Microprocessor, Carbon Monoxide Sensor Cell, Air Inlet Connection and the Calibration Port.
7.1.1.6.1 Carbon Monoxide Sensor Cell.
The Carbon Monoxide Sensor Cell is an electrochemical element inside the Carbon Monoxide Monitor
which senses the amount of Carbon Monoxide in the airstream and produces an analog electrical signal
for the control and display functions of the Carbon Monoxide Monitor.
7.1.1.7 Test Gas Storage
This provides a place to keep Calibration Gas bottles so that the Carbon Monoxide Monitor can be calibrated in all situations. Normally these are only found only in trailer installations.
7.2 Carbon Monoxide Monitor Setup
The initial setup of the Carbon Monoxide Monitor is done prior to shipping the unit.

7.3

Operation
1. Start the compressor unit.
2. The LCD Display will show introductory messages and a warm up countdown (WARM XX).
3. After the warm up countdown of 120 seconds, the instrument will display Carbon Monoxide level
readings.
4. The Inlet Regulator may be adjusted at any time to set the flow level from 0.5 to 0.8 SCFH on the
Flow Indicator.
5. If the compressor is not running then a LOW FLOW indication will show on the display.
6. If carbon monoxide readings remain high or below zero calibration may be needed.

7.4 Maintenance
7.4.1 Calibrating Carbon Monoxide Monitor.

NOTICE
Calibration is recommended every thirty days.
1. Before calibration, be sure that the test gas bottles in the calibration kit have an adequate amount of
gas in the them. Attach the fixed flow regulator to the gas bottle and then detach it. You should hear
a slight popping sound.
2. Turn on the compressor unit. The compressor itself does not have to run, because the test gas is
being substituted for the air supply from the compressor.
3. The compressor unit power needs to be applied to the unit for 15 minutes so the unit can stabilize.
If you attempt to calibrate before the end of this 15 minute period, TO SOON will appear on the
LCD Display.
4. Lift the cap of Inlet Regulator and turn counterclockwise until it stops. This will ensure that the air
flow from the compressor unit is shut off.
5. If the gas flow from the compressor unit was not shut off, a message SUPPLY OFF will appear.
If this message appears, shut off the supply air and then begin the calibration process again.
6. Connect the 20 ppm Carbon Monoxide Test Gas to the fixed flow regulator and connect it to the
Calibration Port of the Carbon Monoxide Monitor.
7. Turn the value on the Fixed Flow Regulator counterclockwise until the Carbon Monoxide Monitor
Flow Indicator shows between 0.5 and 0.8 SCFH.
8. The Display will count down from 60 seconds. At the conclusion, the display will prompt Carbon Monoxide G SET or CAL FAILED
9. The the display will prompt REMOVE Carbon Monoxide GAS.
10. Turn the valve on the Fixed Flow Regulator clockwise until it is closed and disconnect it from the
Calibration Port and disconnect the 20 ppm Carbon Monoxide Test Gas bottle from the fixed flow
regulator.

Page 128

1st Edition, Rev. 2 Chg. 2

MNL-0375
11. Allow 10 minutes for the remaining gas in the Carbon Monoxide Sensor Cell to dissipate after the
calibration process.

NOTICE
If the compressor is started before the test gas dissipates, it could lead to incorrect
Carbon Monoxide level readings.
12. Turn the compressor on, compressor must be running, adjust Inlet Regulator to 0.5-0.8 SCFH to
restore normal operations.
7.4.2 Troubleshooting a Calibration Failure
If the unit fails to calibrate, it maybe due to low pressure in Test Gas Bottles, mixing up the Test Gas
Bottles during calibration or an aging Carbon Monoxide Sensor Cell.
1. Ensure the Test Gas supply is adequate. See Paragraph 7.4.1 Step 1.
2. Initialize the Carbon Monoxide Monitor following the procedures in Paragraph 7.4.4. This will
allow for a greater percentage of compensation for the gas.
3. If the Test Gas is good and the Carbon Monoxide Monitor still refuses to calibrate, replace the Carbon Monoxide Sensor Cell. See Paragraph 7.4.3.
4. If it still doesnt calibrate, contact Bauer Product Support.
Figure 7-4

Basic Calibration Kit

1. 20 ppm Carbon Monoxide Test Gas

2. Zero Test Gas 3. Fixed Flow Regulator

7.4.3 Carbon Monoxide Sensor Cell Replacement


(See Figure 7-7)
When Carbon Monoxide test gas fails to show a gas response during calibration, a new Carbon Monoxide Sensor Cell is required. Most Carbon Monoxide Sensor Cells will last from one and a half to three
years. After installing a new Carbon Monoxide Sensor Cell, an initialization step permits the Carbon
Monoxide Sensor Cell to be calibrated to zero regardless of the background air. Caution must be taken
that the inlet air is free of carbon monoxide or an Impurity Free Air test gas is used for the initial calibration.

Initialization Calibration

1. Before calibration, be sure that the test gas bottles in the Calibration Kit (See Figure 7-4) have an
adequate amount of gas in the them. Attach the Fixed Flow Regulator to the gas bottle and then
detach it. You should hear a slight popping sound.
2. Turn on the compressor unit. The compressor itself does not have to run, because the test gas is
being substituted for the air supply from the compressor.
3. The compressor unit power needs to be applied to the unit for 15 minutes so the unit can stabilize.
If you attempt to calibrate before the end of this 15 minute period, TO SOON will appear on the
LCD Display.
4. Lift the cap of Inlet Regulator (6) and turn counterclockwise until it stops. This will ensure that the
air flow from the compressor unit is shut off.

5. If the gas flow from the compressor unit was not shut off, a message SUPPLY OFF will appear.
If this message appears, shut off the supply air and then begin the calibration process again.
6. Depress the Zero Cal Set Switch on the front of the Carbon Monoxide Monitor with a paper clip for
approximately 30 seconds.
7. Connect the Zero Gas bottle to the Fixed Flow Regulator and connect it to the Calibration Port of
the Carbon Monoxide Monitor.
8. Turn the valve on the Fixed Flow Regulator counterclockwise until the Carbon Monoxide Monitor
Flow Indicator shows between 0.5 and 0.8 SCFH.
9. The Display should read ZERO CAL and will count down from 60 seconds. At the conclusion,
the display prompts, REMOVE ZERO GAS.
10. Turn the valve on the Fixed Flow Regulator clockwise until it is closed and disconnect it from the
Calibration Port.
11. Disconnect the Zero Gas Bottle and the display will indicate 20 ppm CAL GAS REQUIRED
12. Connect the 20 ppm Carbon Monoxide Test Gas to the Fixed Flow Regulator and connect it to the
Calibration Port of the Carbon Monoxide Monitor.
13. Turn the valve on the Fixed Flow Regulator counterclockwise until the Carbon Monoxide Monitor
Flow Indicator shows between 0.5 and 0.8 SCFH.
14. The Display will count down from 60 seconds. At the conclusion, the display will prompt to
REMOVE Carbon Monoxide GAS.
15. Turn the valve on the Fixed Flow Regulator clockwise until it is closed and disconnect it from the
Calibration Port and disconnect the 20 ppm Carbon Monoxide Test Gas Bottle from the Fixed Flow
Regulator.
16. Allow 10 minutes for the remaining gas in the Carbon Monoxide Sensor Cell to dissipate after the
calibration process.

NOTICE
If the compressor is started before the test gas dissipates, it could lead to incorrect
Carbon Monoxide level readings.
17. Turn the compressor on, the compressor must be running, adjust Inlet Regulator to 0.5-0.8 SCFH to

the compressor running, because the air supply from the compressor is unnecessary for the Remote Display setup.
1. To calibrate the Remote Display unit during normal operation of the compressor unit, make sure the
that both the compressor and Carbon Monoxide Monitor units are on.
2. Open the Remote Display (See Figure 7-9). Find the top potentiometer and adjust it to match the
Carbon Monoxide Monitor Carbon Monoxide display reading. Notice that the Carbon Monoxide
Monitor rounds off to whole numbers while the Remote Relay displays decimal places, so adjust as
close as possible.
3. When the display readings match, reassemble the Remote Relay. Realign readings if necessary.

CHAPTER 8:
8.1

CFS II MAINTENANCE

Description
The UNICUS III containment fill stations are designed and have been tested to offer the operator protection against the explosive force and resulting shrapnel should a cylinder fail during the filling operation.

^ WARNING
If a cylinder fails during a filling operation, the Containment Fill Station must be considered damaged
beyond repair and destroyed to prevent its ever being used again.
The fill station features fill hoses complete with bleed valves and SCBA fill adapters of choice, mechanical door interlock, and a fill control panel with individual pressure gauges.
8.2

Fill Station Air Flow


Refer to the Pneumatic Diagram DGM-1137, after the Appendix.
From the air inlet, compressed air flows to the Fill Pressure Regulator (R1) where the desired bottle fill
pressure is set and maintained. The Regulator Inlet Pressure Gauge (P1) indicates the supply pressure to
the Regulator (R1). The Regulator Outlet Pressure Gauge (P2) indicates this regulated pressure. The Fill
Pressure Relief Valve (RV1) ensures against overfilling the bottle if the Fill Pressure Regulator (R1) fails.
The Door Interlock Valves (V1) are operated when the door is closed and the lock bar is in the down and
locked position. This prevents the filling of bottles until the door is properly closed and locked.
When the Mechanical Door Interlock Valves (V1) are operated it allows compressed air to flow from the
outlet of the Fill Pressure Regulator (R1) to the Fill Hoses (H1) via the Fill Hose Shut Off Valve (V2).
Fill Pressure Gauge (P3) is used to monitor the progress of the recharging operation.
The operator closes the Fill Hose Shut Off Valve (V2) when the bottle reaches the desired pressure, stopping the flow of air to the bottle.
The optional Fill Pressure Relief Valves (RV2) can be used to allow multiple fill pressures in the same
CFS II.
Should the operator not close the Fill Hose Shut Off Valve (V2) when the bottle is full, the Relief Valve
(RV2) will open, venting excess pressure.
When the recharging operation is complete the operator presses down on the Door Handle and opens the
door which disengages the Mechanical Door Interlock Valves (V1) eliminating the possibility of the flow
of compressed air to the bottles.
Before the bottles can be removed from the fill station the bottle valve must be closed and the pressure
remaining in the Fill Hoses (H1) bled off by opening the Drain/Bleed Valve (V3).

8.3

Maintenance

8.3.1 General Maintenance


Develop a regular program of visual inspection, looking for clogged drains and broken or missing parts.

October 22, 2009

Page 139

UNICUS III
8.3.2 Nonadjustable Valves
The condensate drain valve, bleed valve and check valves are not adjustable. The condensate drain valve
and bleed valve have seats and seals which should be replaced if the valve leaks. Check valves are not
adjustable or repairable and must be replaced if they malfunction.
8.3.3 Pressure Gauges
Observe the pressure gauges daily. If the readings of any of the gauges seem to be incorrect, bleed off all
system pressure. Check that the gauges correctly read zero then reapply pressure to the system. If the
reading is still incorrect contact Bauer Compressors for service. All broken or damaged gauges must be
replaced immediately.
8.3.4

Safety Valves
Figure 8-1

Safety Valves

The safety valve must be checked periodically for proper functioning.


1. Operate the compressor with the shut-off valve closed until the safety valve vents.
2. Note the pressure registered on the pressure gauge.
The safety valve is adjusted at the factory to the required pressure and does not normally require maintenance or readjustment. In case readjustment does become necessary, have the safety valve adjusted by a
Bauer qualified technician (contact the Bauer service department for details) or return the valve to the
factory.
8.3.5

Pneumatic Connections

^ WARNING
Maintenance of pipe and tubing connections should not be attempted while the unit is under pressure.
Serious injury or equipment damage will result if the connection fails or is loosened.
After determining that a pneumatic connection is leaking. Relieve compressed air pressure and tighten
just firmly enough so that leakage is stopped (finger tight plus up to an additional turn as necessary).
Please note that the compression type coupling fittings are capable of exerting extreme force on the tubing and should not be tightened more than is required to seal the joint. To improve the sealing of the pipe
connections and to facilitate installation, the following should be observed:

Page 140

1st Edition, Rev. 2 Chg. 2

MNL-0375
Apply a thin layer of Never-Seez NSWT or equivalent on the outside of the ferrule during assembly.
Lubricate the threads of the connector with Never-Seez NSWT or a similar PFTE base lubricant to facilitate future disassembly.
8.3.6 Bearings for Bottle Door Pivot
There is no need for relubrication under normal conditions.
If the setscrews should become loose, tighten as follows:
Setscrew diameter

8.3.7 Pressure Hoses


The hoses should be inspected periodically for wear and damage. If a hose is worn or damaged, remove
and replace it.
8.3.8 Door Gas Spring
A special tool, Spring Holder, TOO-0020 is required.
Figure 8-2

Special Tool, TOO-0020

To remove and install a Door Gas Spring proceed as follows:


1. Place a piece of cardboard in the bottom of the door opening to protect the finish of the Door and
Enclosure.
2. Remove the Door Stop and Mount from the inside rear of the Enclosure.
3. Lower the Door until it touches the cardboard.
4. Install the Spring Holder, TOO-0020 and raise the Door until the Holder is holding the Door Gas
Spring.
5. Remove the nut on the lower mounting stud and remove the Door Gas Spring from the Door.
6. Lower the Door and allow it to rest on the cardboard.
7. Remove the nut on the upper spring mounting stud and remove the Door Gas Spring.

Maintenance

9.2.2.1 Storage Bottles


All storage bottles should be visually inspected internally every year. Every five (5) years, D.O.T. bottles
must be hydrotested.
Check local and state regulations regarding testing of ASME or D.O.T. bottles. Some states require an
annual visual inspection, and hydrotesting requirements also differ from state to state.
9.2.2.2

Pressure Gauges

1. Observe the pressure gauges daily.


2. If the readings of any of the gauges seem to be incorrect, bleed off all system pressure.
3. Then, remove the gauge and check for wear and tear, accuracy and proper functioning by comparing it to a precision test gauge or a dead weight tester.
4. Replace all broken or damaged gauges immediately.
9.2.2.3 Tube Connections
Pipe connections (swivel nuts): Tighten just firmly enough so that leakage is stopped (finger tight plus up
to an additional turn as necessary). Please note that the compression type coupling fittings are capable
of exerting extreme force on the tubing and should not be tightened more than is required to seal the joint.
To improve the sealing of the pipe connections and to facilitate installation apply a thin layer of NeverSeez NSWT or a similar PFTE base lubricant to the ferrule and the threads of the connector to facilitate
future disassembly.

Safety Valve

Develop a regular program of visual inspection, looking for clogged drains and discharge pipe, dirt
build-up in and around the valve seat, and broken or missing parts.
Avoid excessive operation of the safety valve, as even one opening can provide a means for leakage.
Safety valves should be operated only often enough to assure that they are in good working order.
Do not paint, oil or otherwise cover any interior or working parts of any safety valve. They do not
require any lubrication or protective coating to work properly.

ensure system compatibility of flex joints and flexible hose can result in mechanical failure, property
damage, and serious injury or death.
The use of plastic or nonmetallic bowls on line filters without metal guards can be dangerous.
Replace damaged fan blades promptly. Fan assemblies must remain in proper balance. An unbalanced
fan can fly apart and create an extremely dangerous condition.

Page 160

1st Edition, Rev. 2 Chg. 2

MNL-0375
Allow the compressor to cool before servicing. Whenever the compressor is shut down and overheating is suspected, a minimum period of 15 minutes must elapse before opening the crankcase.
Premature opening of the crankcase of an overheated unit can result in an explosion.
Incorrect placement of the inlet and pressure valves in a compressor cylinder head can cause an
extremely dangerous condition. Refer to the appropriate section of this manual before installing or
replacing valves.
Before doing any work involving maintenance or adjustment, be sure the electrical supply has been
disconnected, and the complete compressor system has been vented of all internal pressure. Failure to
follow these warnings may result in an accident causing personal injury and/or property damage.
Before working on the electrical system, be sure to disconnect the electrical supply from the system at
the circuit breaker or other manual disconnect. Do not rely on the ON/OFF switch to disconnect the
electrical supply.

UNICUS III
11.2.2 Installation of the Compressor Unit
The floor of the site must be capable of supporting the weight of the unit. Position the unit so that it is
level. The maximum permissible inclination of the compressor unit is listed in Paragraph 1.4.

^ CAUTION
The inclination values listed in Paragraph 1.4 are valid only if the oil level of the compressor is level with
but does not exceed the upper mark of the oil dipstick or oil level sight glass
Ensure that the compressor air intake is supplied with fresh air. The intake air must not contain any
exhaust fumes or flammable vapors such as paint solvents, which may cause an internal fire. Make sure
that the intake air is unobstructed and moisture in the intake air is kept to a minimum. It is important that
units draw in clean air. The quality of the incoming air determines the quality of the compressed air. This
is important even for industrial air, as any incoming fumes will also be compressed and will increase the
toxicity to anyone working with the compressed air.
If a remote control is provided, the unit must be equipped with a clearly visible plate warning the possibility of the unit starting. As an additional measure, anyone starting the unit by remote control must make
sure that no one is checking or operating the unit. For this purpose, a second warning plate should be provided at the remote control unit.
AUTOMATIC COMPRESSOR CONTROL
UNIT MAY START WITHOUT WARNING!
Before carrying out maintenance and repair work, switch off at the main switch
and ensure the unit will not restart.
Observe and maintain an ambient temperature range of 43 to 113 F.
The area in which the compressor unit is installed should be well lit and easily accessible to facilitate servicing and routine maintenance.

Secure the UNICUS III to the floor using bolts. The feet at the ends of the unit are used for leveling
and securing the UNICUS III, the middle feet are for leveling only. Install the Adjusting Bolts (1) and
Locking Nuts (2) until the Leveling Foot (3) can be attached. Adjust the all of the Adjusting Bolts until
the Leveling Foot touches the ground and the UNICUS III is level. The Anchor Foot is then positioned as
desired and the appropriate anchor hardware installed. The Locking Nuts are then tightened to prevent the
Leveling Foot from moving.
11.2.2.2 Ventilation
During normal compression, heat is generated by the compressor and by the drive motor or engine. For
air-cooled compressor units, this heat needs to be vented away by sufficient ventilation.
11.2.2.2.1Outdoor Installation
It is recommended that all gasoline and diesel engine driven compressor units be installed outdoors.
Additionally, electrically driven compressor units may be installed outdoors only if enclosed with weatherproof enclosure panels.
11.2.2.2.2Indoor Installation
The best location to install the compressor unit indoors is against an outside wall with a suitably large air
vent in front of the cooling fan. Additionally, it is necessary to position an exhaust opening in the opposite wall, close to the ceiling or in the ceiling.
As a basic rule of thumb, the room should be ventilated sufficiently so as to prevent the ambient room
temperature from exceeding 105 F. Additional heat generating equipment or piping should be avoided or
must be well insulated.

11.3 Long Term Storage
11.3.1 General
If the compressor unit will be out of service for more than six months, it should be preserved in accordance with the following instructions:
1. Make sure that the compressor is kept indoors in a dry, dust-free room.
2. Cover the compressor with plastic sheets only if no condensation will form under the sheet.
3. Remove the sheet from time to time and clean the outside of the unit.
4. If this procedure cannot be followed, or if the compressor will be out of service for more than 24
months, please contact the Bauer Service Department for special instructions.
11.3.2 Preparations
Prior to preserving the compressor unit, it must be run until warm, i.e., up to the specified service pressure. Operate the unit for approximately 10 minutes, then carry out the following checks.
1. Check all pipes, filters and valves (including safety valves) for leakage.
2. Tighten all couplings, as required.
3. After 10 minutes, open the outlet valve and operate the compressor at adjusted minimum pressure
using the pressure maintaining valve for approximately 5 minutes.
4. After the 5 minutes, shut the compressor unit down and completely drain all separators and filters.
Close all valves.
5. Remove filter heads and lubricate the threads with petroleum jelly.
11.3.2.1 Units Equipped with a Filter System
1. Ensure that cartridges remain in the purification system chambers. This will prevent oil from entering the outlet lines as a result of preservation procedures.
2. Remove the intake filter/intake pipe completely.
11.3.3 Preserving the Compressor
1. Operate the compressor again and slowly spray approximately 0.35 oz. (10 cc) of oil into the inlet
port while the compressor is running. Keep the shut-off valve open and the condensate drain valves
closed.
2. After spraying the oil into the inlet port, run the compressor unit for an additional 5 minutes before
shutting the compressor unit down.
3. Close the shut-off valve.
4. Close the inlet port with a dust cap and/or tape.
11.3.4 Preventive Maintenance During Storage
Operate the compressor once every six months as follows:
1. Remove the dust cap from the inlet port and install the inlet filter.

Page 170

1st Edition, Rev. 2 Chg. 2

MNL-0375
2. Open the outlet valve and allow the system to run approximately 5 minutes until there is outflow
from the valve and oil is visible in the sight glass of the oil regulating valve.
3. Shut down the compressor.
4. Open the condensate drain valves, depressurize the unit, then close the drain valves again.
5. Remove the intake filter and replace the dust cap on the inlet port.
11.3.5 Lubrication Oils for Preservation
1. After prolonged storage periods, the oil will age in the compressor crankcase. The oil must be
drained at least every 24 months and replaced with fresh oil.
2. The stated period can only be attained when the crankcase is sealed during the preservation period
in accordance with the preservation requirements.
3. After changing the oil, the compressor must be operated according to the instructions above.
4. Check the lubrication of the compressor during the every-six-month brief operation.
5. The oil pump is functioning properly when oil can be seen flowing through the sight glass of the oil
pressure regulator or if the oil pressure gauge indicates the prescribed pressure.
11.3.6 Reactivating the Compressor Unit
1. Remove the dust cap from the inlet port and install the intake filter.
2. Check the oil level of the compressor. If necessary, change the oil.
3. The motor must be thoroughly dry before applying power.
4. For units with a purification system, change all cartridges.
5. Run the compressor with open outlet valve for approximately 10 minutes. Check for proper operation of the lubricating system.
6. After 10 minutes, close the shut-off valve and run the system up to final pressure until the final
pressure safety valve vents. On compressor units with a compressor control system, raise the pressure switch setting the switch above normal limits to override the pressure switch. Be sure to reset
the switch after checking.
7. Check the interstage safety valves for leakage.
8. Establish the cause of any faults and remedy.
9. Stop the unit when it is running properly. The compressor is then ready for operation.
