Copco recommends, for optimal safety, the use of certified Class 0 compressors in combination with
appropriate filtration depending on the application. Please contact your Atlas Copco Customer Center
for advice on specific filtration.
1.3 Safety precautions during installation

All responsibility for any damage or injury resulting from neglecting these precautions, or
non observance of the normal caution and care required for installation, operation,
maintenance and repair, even if not expressly stated, will be disclaimed by the
manufacturer.
Precautions during installation

1. The machine must only be lifted using suitable equipment in accordance with the applicable safety
regulations. Loose or pivoting parts must be securely fastened before lifting. It is strictly forbidden to
dwell or stay in the risk zone under a lifted load. Lifting acceleration and deceleration must be kept
within safe limits. Wear a safety helmet when working in the area of overhead or lifting equipment.
2. The unit is designed for indoor use. If the unit is installed outdoors, special precautions must be taken;
consult your supplier.
3. In case the device is a compressor, place the machine where the ambient air is as cool and clean as
possible. If necessary, install a suction duct. Never obstruct the air inlet. Care must be taken to
minimize the entry of moisture at the inlet air.
4. Any blanking flanges, plugs, caps and desiccant bags must be removed before connecting the pipes.
5. Air hoses must be of correct size and suitable for the working pressure. Never use frayed, damaged or
worn hoses. Distribution pipes and connections must be of the correct size and suitable for the
working pressure.
6. In case the device is a compressor, the aspirated air must be free of flammable fumes, vapors and
particles, e.g. paint solvents, that can lead to internal fire or explosion.
7. In case the device is a compressor, arrange the air intake so that loose clothing worn by people cannot
be drawn in.
8. Ensure that the discharge pipe from the compressor to the aftercooler or air net is free to expand under
heat and that it is not in contact with or close to flammable materials.
9. No external force may be exerted on the air outlet valve; the connected pipe must be free of strain.
10. If remote control is installed, the machine must bear a clear sign stating: DANGER: This machine is
remotely controlled and may start without warning.
The operator has to make sure that the machine is stopped and depressurized and that the electrical
isolating switch is open, locked and labelled with a temporary warning before any maintenance or

9. Never use flammable solvents or carbon tetrachloride for cleaning parts. Take safety precautions
against toxic vapors of cleaning liquids.
10 2920 1815 04
Instruction book
10. Scrupulously observe cleanliness during maintenance and repair. Keep dirt away by covering the
parts and exposed openings with a clean cloth, paper or tape.
11. Never weld or perform any operation involving heat near the oil system. Oil tanks must be completely
purged, e.g. by steam cleaning, before carrying out such operations. Never weld on, or in any way
modify, pressure vessels.
12. Whenever there is an indication or any suspicion that an internal part of a machine is overheated, the
machine shall be stopped but no inspection covers shall be opened before sufficient cooling time has
elapsed; this to avoid the risk of spontaneous ignition of the oil vapor when air is admitted.
13. Never use a light source with open flame for inspecting the interior of a machine, pressure vessel, etc.
14. Make sure that no tools, loose parts or rags are left in or on the machine.
15. All regulating and safety devices shall be maintained with due care to ensure that they function
properly. They may not be put out of action.
16. Before clearing the machine for use after maintenance or overhaul, check that operating pressures,
temperatures and time settings are correct. Check that all control and shut-down devices are fitted and
that they function correctly. If removed, check that the coupling guard of the compressor drive shaft
has been reinstalled.
17. Every time the separator element is renewed, examine the discharge pipe and the inside of the oil
separator vessel for carbon deposits; if excessive, the deposits should be removed.
18. Protect the motor, air filter, electrical and regulating components, etc. to prevent moisture from
entering them, e.g. when steam cleaning.
19. Make sure that all sound-damping material and vibration dampers, e.g. damping material on the
bodywork and in the air inlet and outlet systems of the compressor, is in good condition. If damaged,
replace it by genuine material from the manufacturer to prevent the sound pressure level from
increasing.
20. Never use caustic solvents which can damage materials of the air net, e.g. polycarbonate bowls.
21. Only if applicable, the following safety precautions are stressed when handling refrigerant:
• Never inhale refrigerant vapors. Check that the working area is adequately ventilated; if
required, use breathing protection.
• Always wear special gloves. In case of refrigerant contact with the skin, rinse the skin with
water. If liquid refrigerant contacts the skin through clothing, never tear off or remove the latter;
flush abundantly with fresh water over the clothing until all refrigerant is flushed away; then
seek medical first aid.
Also consult following safety precautions: Safety precautions during installation and
Safety precautions during operation.

2920 1815 04 17
Instruction book
Teflon-free compressor elements

The rotors of the compressor elements have an epoxy-based coating.
Hot air version

The cooling system does not cool the outgoing compressed air.
Automatic water shut-off

A water shut-off valve is provided in the cooling water system to shut off the system when the compressor
is not in operation.
Duplex oil filters

Duplex oil filters have a flow selector valve. When the handle of the valve is in the upright position, both
cartridges are connected in the oil circuit. When the handle is turned to the right, the left cartridge is out of
service and vice versa.
Energy recovery
The compressor is provided with an Atlas Copco energy recovery system to recover the major part of the
compression heat in the form of hot water.
SPM monitoring
A number of vibration sensors are provided on the drive motor and compressor elements. The readings can
be called up on the display of the Elektronikon regulator.
High ambient temperature (HAT)

The compressor is specially designed for continuous operation under humid and high ambient temperature
conditions. The maximum ambient temperature is 50˚C (122˚F).
Anchor pads
Steel plates, fitting in the forklift slots, and bolts are shipped loose with the compressor. With these plates
and bolts, the compressor frame can be fixed to the floor.
Pre-filter kit
Two extra compressed air inlet filters, delivered loose with the compressor, must be mounted in parallel on
the roof of the compressor. With the prefilters the interval between air filter exchange is nearly two times
longer. The two prefilters can be changed without stopping the compressor.
Anti-condensation heaters
Electric heaters are installed in the motor windings and connected to the compressor cubicle. When the
compressor is stopped, the heaters are automatically switched on. The heaters in the motor will prevent
condensation during stand-still.
18 2920 1815 04
Instruction book
PDp filter (Only for ZR/ZT 110-145)

The high efficiency particle filter for dust protection PDp makes sure no dust particles with size above 0.01
µm enter the air net.
PDP sensor (Only for ZR/ZT 110-145)

The pressure dewpoint of the compressed air leaving the IMD dryer is continuously shown on the display
of the Elektronikon regulator. This allows to monitor the performance of the dryer and to make sure that
the compressed air is dry enough for the application.
Silicon-free rotor
With this option, the compressed air leaving the compressor is 100 % silicon-free.
Low load compensator for IMD dryer

When the compressor is frequently loading and unloading and when the load/unload cycles are short, the
rotor of the IMD will not be properly regenerated. This will lead to an increase of the pressure dewpoint
and a reduced lifetime of the rotor. The option low load compensator will make sure that the rotor is always
regenerated properly ensuring a good IMD performance and a long rotor lifetime.
Dryer by-pass
The dryer by-pass enables to use optional air piping to avoid air flow through the dryer. It is NOT allowed
to service the dryer when it is by-passed and the compressor is running!
Kit for purge of dry air during standstill

When frequent and long standstills occur, it is recommended to install a kit for purge of dry air to guarantee
the life time of the oil-free screw elements. During standstill, condensation (which triggers corrosion)
might occur. This results in an expected element lifetime reduction or even a compressor stage blocking
during standstill. Condensation is prevented by blowing a small amount of dry air through the small gap
between rotor-rotor and rotor-housing once the compressor is stopped. To avoid long standstills, regular
starting can be programmed in the Elektronikon controller or by a central Atlas Copco ES controller.
Oversized motor
The size of the motor is chosen in such a way that the Service Factor of the motor is never used.
SMARTBOX
When ordering the compressor, it is possible (except for Japan and Korea) to choose the free SMARTBOX
option which is mounted in the electrical cabinet. The SMARTBOX allows read-out of the compressor
parameters on a login-protected web site called SMARTLINK. The connected antenna is mounted on the
outside of the electrical cabinet. (Refer to the SMARTBOX and SMARTLINK section.)

Description
Air drawn through filter (AF) is compressed in low-pressure compressor element (El).
On ZR compressors, the compressed air is discharged to intercooler (Ci).
On ZT compressors, the compressed air is discharged to silencer, pre-intercooler (Ci1) and intercooler (Ci).
The cooled air is further compressed in high-pressure compressor element (Eh) and discharged through
silencer (AS) and aftercooler (Ca).
On ZR/ZT 110 up to ZR/ZT 275, a check valve (CV) is fitted downstream of the silencer.
The wet air from the aftercooler enters water separator (Ws) via ejector nozzle (Nz). In demister (1), the
water droplets are removed from the air. The air is then led through rotor (2), which adsorbs the water
vapour.
The compressed air leaves the compressor via the air outlet (AO).
Regenerating circuit of the dryer (only for Full-Feature units)

Hot regeneration air is branched off upstream of the aftercooler. The regeneration air passes through
regulation valve (3) and strainer (4), and is blown through the wet rotor channels.
The hot saturated air is then cooled down in regeneration air cooler (Cr). The regeneration air is then mixed
with the wet compressed air from the compressor aftercooler.

Cooling system for ZR compressors

The cooling water flows through oil cooler (Co), the cooling jackets of high-pressure compressor element
(Eh) and low-pressure compressor element (El), as well as through intercooler (Ci) and aftercooler (Ca).
In case of a Full-Feature compressor, cooling water is also provided to the additional regeneration cooler of
the integrated dryer.
Cooling system for ZT compressors

The compressors are fitted with an oil cooler (Co), intercoolers (Ci1 and Ci) and aftercoolers (Ca1 and Ca).
The coolers are air-cooled, the cooling air is generated by fan (FN).
In case of a Full-Feature compressor, an additional regeneration cooler is mounted (in the integrated dryer).
Condensate drain
Two moisture traps are installed: one downstream of the intercooler (MTi) to prevent condensate from
entering compressor element (Eh) and one downstream of the aftercooler (MTa) to prevent condensate
from entering the air outlet pipe.
A Full-Feature compressor also contains condensate traps downstream of the dryer:
• two traps, in case of a water-cooled compressor
• three traps, in case of an air-cooled compressor.
On ZR/ZT 110 up to ZR/ZT 275, the moisture traps are connected to an ERD, see section Elektronikon
Regulated Drain.
2.4 Elektronikon regulated drain (ERD)
Description
The drain consists of a capacitive sensor which is incorporated in the drain collector and of a pilot valve
which is placed outside the drain collector. A drain opening delay timer is started when the collector is
filled up to the level of the capacitive sensor. As long as the delay timer is running, extra condensate will
be collected and the level will rise even higher than the position of the sensor. As soon as the delay timer
has expired, the pilot valve (normally open) is deactivated and the diaphragm opens the outlet, discharging
2920 1815 04 27
Instruction book
the condensate. From the moment that the sensor is not detecting any condensate anymore, a drain closing
delay timer is started. The pilot valve will still drain the condensate during the run of this timer to make
sure that the remaining amount of condensate is drained. The pilot valve is activated when the timer has
expired, the outlet closes quickly without wasting compressed air.

Reference Description
1 Solenoid valve
2 Connector
3 Sensor
4 Bushing
5 Drain receiver
If the controller detects water in the intercooler or aftercooler drain receiver for too long a period, a
shutdown is generated. If water is detected on the integrated dryer drain receiver for too long a period, a
warning is generated.
The level switch is a capacitive sensor which generates a high signal when no water is present. The
solenoid valves of the intercooler and aftercooler/integrated dryer drains are different. The solenoid valve
of the intercooler drain has a high flow but cannot handle high pressures. The solenoid valve on the
aftercooler/integrated dryer drains has less flow but can handle higher pressures. It is not allowed to open
the valves as they can loose their set point. Special attention must be paid to the correct wiring of the
different level switches and solenoid valves.
The output of the level switch can be called up on the screen of the Elektronikon regulator. The reading
does not indicate whether the solenoid valve is open or closed, but indicates whether the level switch is
detecting water in the collector. Since there is a drain opening delay timer, the display on the Elektronikon
can show "Condensate Drain IC Open", while the solenoid valve is still closed. Changes to the
Elektronikon settings are not allowed. The "Always pressurized" bit must be activated on aftercooler and
integrated dryer drains. On the intercooler it is not allowed to activate this bit.
A functionality test is possible through the Elektronikon regulator. By performing this test, all solenoid
valves will be opened for a short time (e.g. 15 seconds). Refer to the Elektronikon chapter for more details.

Description
Oil is circulated by pump (OP) from the sump of the gear casing through cooler (Co).
On ZT compressors, the oil flows through the cooling jackets of the compressor elements (El and Eh).
The oil passes through oil filters (OF) towards the bearings and timing gears.
Valve (BV) opens if the oil pressure should rise above a given value.
2.6 Regulating system
General
The regulator keeps the net pressure within programmable pressure limits by automatically loading and
unloading the compressor depending on the air consumption.
2920 1815 04 33
Instruction book
During unloading
If the air consumption is less than the air delivery of the compressor, the net pressure increases. When the
net pressure reaches the upper limit of the working pressure (unloading pressure), solenoid valve (Y1) is
de-energised. The plunger of solenoid valve (Y1) moves by spring force shutting off the control air supply
to unloader (UA).
Phase Description
1 Control pressure is vented from chamber (1) of unloader (UA) through solenoid valve
(Y1) and chamber (3) towards the inlet of compressor element (El).
2 As there is no longer any pressure difference between chambers (1 and 3), plunger (2)
returns by spring force keeping full-load/no-load valve (TV) closed and unloading valve
(UV) open.
3 Compressed air between check valve (CV) and valve (UV) is blown off through silencer
(US). Check valve (CV) closes.
4 As vacuum prevails in intercooler (Ci), diaphragm (4) switches to the left.
Air delivery is stopped (0%), the compressor runs unloaded.
34 2920 1815 04
Instruction book
During loading
When the net pressure decreases to the lower limit of the working pressure (loading pressure), solenoid
valve (Y1) is energised. The plunger of solenoid valve (Y1) moves against the spring force opening the
control air supply port to unloader (UA).
Phase Description
1 Atmospheric pressure is allowed through solenoid valve (Y1) to chamber (1) of unloader
(UA). As this pressure is higher than the pressure in chamber (3), full-load/no-load valve
(TV) starts opening.
2 Intercooler pressure is building up causing diaphragm (4) to switch to the right. As the
pressure difference between chambers (1 and 3) increases, plunger (2) moves further
against the spring force until full-load/no-load valve (TV) is fully open and unloading
valve (UV) closed.
Air delivery is resumed (100%), the compressor runs loaded.
2920 1815 04 35
Instruction book
2.7 Energy recovery
General
The system recovers the major part of the compression heat. The percentage of shaft input power available
for recovery is between 80 and 95, depending on the operating conditions.
If an MD dryer is installed downstream of the compressor, this percentage is reduced to approx. 70 of the
shaft input instead of approx. 90, as part of the heat in the compressed air is used for regeneration in the
drying process.
A complete energy recovery system includes:
• Compressor with modified cooling system (ZR)
• A pump unit (PU) to transfer the recovered energy from the compressor cooling system to the heat
consumer (HC)
• The heat consumer (HC), i.e. the equipment to transfer the energy to the industrial process
Modified cooling water system

The compressor cooling system has been modified to achieve both high cooling water temperatures and
sufficient cooling for the compressor.
The cooling water enters the oil cooler and then flows through the high-pressure compressor element, the
low-pressure compressor element and finally the intercooler and the aftercooler. This sequence ensures
optimal temperature differences with relation to the heat transfer in the individual components.
On Full-Feature compressors, additional connections are provided for the water circuit of the additional
aftercooler and the cooler of the IMD dryer. To ensure that the IMD dryer works properly, low-temperature
cooling water should be used for this cooling water circuit. The heat of this cooling water circuit is not
recovered by the energy recovery system.
36 2920 1815 04
Instruction book
Pump unit
Atlas Copco supplies pump units to transfer the energy recovered from the compressor to the heat
consumer (HC). The pump unit constitutes a closed water circuit with the compressor cooling system.
Two water pumps (WP1/2) are fitted. One pump circulates the hot cooling water from the compressor
through the heat consumer and back to the compressor. The other is a stand-by pump. Check valves
(CV1/2) at the delivery side of the pumps prevent backflow of water in the stand-by pump. The pump unit
is fitted with a make-up water connection, an air trap with automatic de-aeration device (AT), a pressure
and temperature gauge (PI and TI), a safety valve (SV) and an expansion tank (ET).
Cooling water requirements

Closed recirculating water systems minimize make-up water requirements. Therefore, it is economically
feasible to use softened water to eliminate the problem of scaling deposits.
Corrosion control is important. The best results are obtained by adding corrosion inhibitors as used in
engine cooling systems.
Using anti-freeze products is an alternative solution to avoid problems, e.g. adding 20 % to 30 % ethylene-
glycol based anti-freeze to the tap water.
For open cooling water systems (e.g. boiler feed water preparation), consult the Atlas Copco Customer
Centre to avoid problems related to deposit control, corrosion control and microbiological growth control.
Water flow regulation through heat exchangers

Depending on the amount of energy transferred in the heat consumer (HC), the heat exchanger (HE) of the
pump unit is completely or partly by-passed by means of a thermostatic valve (RV2). The valve is normally
adjusted to achieve a cooling water temperature of 40 ˚C (corresponding to the maximum allowable
2920 1815 04 37
Instruction book
temperature at the compressor inlet). It is advisable to adjust the setting of the valve as close as possible to
the temperature of the cooling water returning from the heat consumer (HC).
Depending on the amount of energy transferred in the heat consumer (HC), the heat exchanger (HE) of the
pump unit is completely or partly by-passed by means of a thermostatic valve (RV2). The valve is normally
adjusted to achieve a cooling water temperature of 104 ˚F (corresponding to the maximum allowable
temperature at the compressor inlet). It is advisable to adjust the setting of the valve as close as possible to
the temperature of the cooling water returning from the heat consumer (HC).
Sufficient low-temperature cooling water must be available for the heat exchanger to achieve a water
temperature that does not exceed 40 ˚C/104 ˚F.
Electrical system
The pumps (WP1 and WP2) are driven by an electric motor. Each motor is equipped with manual starting
equipment including a circuit breaker.
The first time it is started, check that the rotation direction matches the direction indicated by the arrows on
the motor flanges. If necessary, stop the unit, switch off the voltage and reverse two incoming electric
lines.
Important remarks
Compressed air quality and reliability of any compressor, dryer or other equipment should never be made
subordinate to the energy recovery system. In some cases, especially installations where air dryers are
installed, an additional aftercooler is required to reduce the compressor air outlet temperature to a level at
which the dryers operate at maximum efficiency. This aftercooler and the dryer (if water-cooled) need to
be cooled separately by low-temperature water. Consult the Atlas Copco Customer Centre.
The general temperature level of compressors with a modified cooling system for energy recovery is
approx. 20 to 25 ˚C (68 to 77 ˚F) higher than the level of compressors with a standard cooling system,
resulting in a slight decrease in free air delivery and a slight increase in shaft power.
In case the compressors operate in high ambient temperatures and with high water inlet temperatures, the
maximum working pressure is 0.5 bar (7.25 psi) lower than for standard compressors. Consult the Atlas
Copco Customer Centre.

3 Elektronikon regulator
3.1 Elektronikon® regulator
Control panel
Introduction
In general, the Elektronikon regulator has following functions:
• Controlling the compressor
• Protecting the compressor
• Monitoring components subject to service
• Automatic restart after voltage failure (made inactive)
•
Automatic control of compressor operation

The regulator maintains the net pressure between programmable limits by automatically loading and
unloading the compressor. A number of programmable settings, e.g. the unloading and loading pressures,
the minimum stop time and the maximum number of motor starts are taken into account.
The regulator stops the compressor whenever possible to reduce the power consumption and restarts it
automatically when the net pressure decreases. In case the expected unloading period is too short, the
compressor is kept running to prevent too short standstill periods.
A number of time-based automatic start/stop commands may be programmed. Take into

account that a start command will be executed (if programmed and activated), even
after manually stopping the compressor.
Protecting the compressor

Shut-down
Several sensors are provided on the compressor. If one of these measurements exceeds the programmed
shut-down level, the compressor will be stopped. This will be indicated on display (1) and general alarm
LED (2) will blink.
44 2920 1815 04
Instruction book
The compressor will also be stopped in case of:

• Overload of the drive motor
•
•
•
Remedy the trouble and reset the message on the display before restarting.
Before remedying, consult the Safety precautions.
Shut-down warning
If one of the measurements exceeds the programmed shut-down warning level, a message will appear on
display (1) and general alarm LED (2) will light up, to warn the operator that the shut-down warning level
is exceeded.
The message disappears as soon as the warning condition disappears.
Monitoring components subject to service

Service warning
The regulator continuously monitors critical components. Each input is compared to programmed limits. If
these limits are exceeded, a message will appear on display (1) to warn the operator to take the necessary
action.
Automatic restart after voltage failure

For compressors leaving the factory, this function is made inactive. If desired, the function can be
activated. Consult the Atlas Copco Customer Centre.
If activated and provided the regulator was in the automatic operation mode and the
compressor control mode (local, remote 1 or remote 2) was not changed during the
voltage failure, the compressor will automatically restart if the supply voltage to the
module is restored within a programmed time period (this time period is called the power
recovery time).
The power recovery time can be set between 1 and 254 seconds or to 0. If the power
recovery time is set to 0, the compressor will always restart after a voltage failure, no
matter how long it takes to restore the voltage.

Terminology
Term Explanation
Compressor Element 1 and element 2 stands for the low-pressure and high-pressure compressor
element 1/2 element respectively.
The regulator does not accept illogical settings, e.g. if the warning level is programmed
at 210˚C, the minimum limit for the shut-down level changes into 211˚C. The
recommended difference between the warning level and shut-down level is 10 ˚C.
Compressor Element 1 and element 2 stands for the low-pressure and high-pressure compressor
element 1/2 element respectively.
at 410 ˚F, the minimum limit for the shut-down level changes into 411 ˚F. The
recommended difference between the warning level and shut-down level is 18 ˚F.
Oil Use Atlas Copco Roto-Z oil. The change interval for this oil is after 16000 running hours
or 2-yearly.
Oil filters Use Atlas Copco filters. The change interval is after 8000 running hours or yearly.
Air filters Use Atlas Copco filters. Replace the filters when the warning level is reached or yearly.
Required stop Once the compressor is automatically stopped, it will remain stopped for the minimum
period/Minimum stop time (approx. 20 seconds), whatever happens with the air net pressure. In
stop time automatic operation, the compressor will not be stopped by the regulator until a
standstill period of at least the sum of the minimum stop time and required stop period is
expected. However, if the decrease in air net pressure should require a new start of the
compressor, the regulator will start the compressor after the minimum stop time.
Power recovery Is the period within which the voltage must be restored to have an automatic restart. Is
time accessible if the automatic restart is activated. To activate the automatic restart function,
consult Atlas Copco.

Term Explanation
Unloading/ The regulator does not accept illogical settings, e.g. if the unloading pressure is
Loading pressure programmed at 7.5 bar(e), the maximum limit for the loading pressure changes into 7.4
bar(e). The recommended minimum pressure difference between loading and unloading
is 1 bar.
Loading pressure programmed at 109 psi, the maximum limit for the loading pressure changes into 108
psi. The recommended minimum pressure difference between loading and unloading is
14.5 psi.
Delay at starting Is the time interval within which the oil pressure must be built up.
Delay at signal Is the period during which the signal is ignored.

• Automatic restart after voltage failure (made inactive)
Automatic control of compressor operation

The regulator maintains the net pressure between programmable limits by automatically loading and
unloading the compressor. A number of programmable settings, e.g. the unloading and loading pressures,
the minimum stop time and the maximum number of motor starts are taken into account.
The regulator stops the compressor whenever possible to reduce the power consumption and restarts it
automatically when the net pressure decreases. In case the expected unloading period is too short, the
compressor is kept running to prevent too short standstill periods.
A number of time-based automatic start/stop commands may be programmed. Take into

account that a start command will be executed (if programmed and activated), even
after manually stopping the compressor.
Protecting the compressor

Shut-down
Several sensors are provided on the compressor. If one of these measurements exceeds the programmed
shut-down level, the compressor will be stopped. This will be indicated on display (1) and general alarm
LED (2) will blink.
2920 1815 04 77
Instruction book
Remedy the trouble and reset the message. See also the Status data menu.
Before remedying, consult the Safety precautions.
Shut-down warning
A shut-down warning level is a programmable level below the shut-down level.
If one of the measurements exceeds the programmed shut-down warning level, a message will appear on
display (1) and general alarm LED (2) will light up, to warn the operator that the shut-down warning level
is exceeded.
The message disappears as soon as the warning condition disappears.
Service warning
A number of service operations are grouped (called Level A, B, C, ...). Each level has a programmed time
interval. If a time interval is exceeded, a message will appear on display (1) to warn the operator to carry
out the service actions belonging to that level.
Automatic restart after voltage failure

The regulator has a built-in function to automatically restart the compressor if the voltage is restored after
voltage failure. For compressors leaving the factory, this function is made inactive. If desired, the function
can be activated. Consult the Atlas Copco Customer Centre.
If activated and provided the regulator was in the automatic operation mode, the
compressor will automatically restart if the supply voltage to the module is restored
within a programmed time period.
The power recovery time (the period within which the voltage must be restored to have
an automatic restart) can be set between 1 and 3600 seconds or to “Infinite”. If the
power recovery time is set to “Infinite”, the compressor will always restart after a voltage
failure, no matter how long it takes to restore the voltage. A restart delay can also be
programmed, allowing e.g. two compressors to be restarted one after the other.

Term Explanation
Required stop Once the compressor has automatically stopped, it will remain stopped for the minimum
period/Minimum stop time (approx. 20 seconds), whatever the net air pressure. In automatic operation,
stop time the compressor will not be stopped by the regulator until a standstill period of at least
the sum of the minimum stop time and required stop period is expected. However, if the
decrease in net air pressure should require a new start of the compressor, the regulator
will start the compressor after the minimum stop time.
Power recovery Is the period within which the voltage must be restored to have an automatic restart. Is
time accessible if the automatic restart is activated. To activate the automatic restart function,
consult Atlas Copco.
Loading pressure programmed at 7.0 bar(e)/101 psig, the maximum limit for the loading pressure changes
to 6.9 bar(e)/100 psig. The recommended minimum pressure difference between
loading and unloading is 0.6 bar/9 psig.
Delay at shut- Is the time for which the signal must exist before the compressor is shut down. If it

6.1 Elektronikon® GraphicPlus controller
Control panel
Display of the Elektronikon® GraphicPlus controller
Introduction
The Elektronikon controller has following functions:
• Automatic compressor control
• Compressor protection
• Service warning
• Automatic restart after voltage failure (disabled)
Automatic compressor control

The controller keeps the net pressure between adjustable boundaries by automatically loading and
unloading the compressor. A number of adjustable settings, e.g. the (un)loading pressure, the minimum
stop time and the maximum number of motor starts are taken into account.
The controller switches the regime to unload when the selected unloading pressure is reached and stops the
compressor to reduce power consumption when it has been running unloaded for a given time. In case the
net pressure drops down to the loading pressure while the compressor is running unloaded, the compressor
is kept running and switches to load to avoid short standstills and energy waste.
When the compressor has stopped automatically and the net pressure decreases, the controller will start the
compressor before the net pressure has dropped to the loading pressure to prevent the net pressure from
reaching the programmed minimum level. When stopping the compressor manually, the controller will
unload the compressor for a given time and then stop the compressor.
A number of time based automatic start/stop commands may be set. Be aware that a
start command will be executed (if set and enabled), even after manually stopping the
compressor unit with the controller.

Instruction book
Compressor protection
Shutdown warning
A shutdown warning level is set less critical than the shutdown level.
The compressor is equipped with several sensors to check pressures and temperatures. If one of these
measurements exceeds the set shutdown warning level, a message will be displayed and the general alarm
LED (next to the exclamation mark) will be lit to warn the operator.
The warning message disappears as soon as the measurement is below warning level.
Shutdown
If one of the sensors reaches a set shutdown level, the compressor will be stopped. This will be displayed
on the controller and the general alarm LED will blink.
Solve the problem and reset the message. See also the Inputs menu.
Before remedying, always check the applicable safety precautions.
Service warning
A number of service intervals are grouped into Service Plans, all with their own time frame. If a service
interval is reached, a message will appear on the controller display to warn the operator to carry out the
prescribed service actions stated in a certain Service Plan.
Automatic restart after voltage failure (ARAVF)

The controller allows automatic restart of the compressor unit if the supply is restored after voltage failure.
For compressors leaving the factory, this function is disabled. If desired, this function can be enabled by
your local Atlas Copco Customer Center.
Assuming the controller was running in automatic operation, the compressor unit will
restart when the supply voltage to the module is restored if ARAVF is enabled. As long
as the emergency stop is enabled, ARAVF is disabled.

(2) Running Hours
(3) Real Time Hours
(4) Reset
Running hours are the clocked times during which the compressor stage motor has been running. Real
Time Hours are programmable timers which keep counting even when the compressor isn't running. E.g.
when a customer would like to change a part yearly or every 4000 running hours, service level A can be
put on Running Hours 4000 hours and Real Time Hours 8800 (8760 hours = 1 year). A service warning
will be displayed after one year or sooner (after 4000 running hours ) if the compressor has been running a
lot.
The figures at the left of the progress bars are the programmed service interval Running or Real Time
Hours. Those at the right count down and show the number of hours that need to be covered to reach the
next service intervention.
Colored letters indicate the next upcoming service level.

6.19 Web server

All controllers have a built-in web server that allows direct connection to the company network or to a
dedicated PC via a local area network (LAN). This allows to consult certain data and settings via a PC
instead of the display of the controller.
Getting started
If the unit is equipped with a SMARTBOX, the network connection of the Elektronikon is
already in use. To allow the web server functionality, the network cable that is
connected to the SMARTBOX should be unplugged and replaced by the cable of the
company network.
If both the web server functionality and SMARTBOX are required, please contact your
local Atlas Copco Customer Center for support.
Make sure you are logged in as administrator.

• Use the internal network card from your computer or a USB to LAN adapter.
2920 1815 04 165

Click OK (3) and close network connections.
Configure a company network (LAN) connection

• Ask your IT department to generate a fixed IP address in your company’s network.
• That IP address will be excluded from the DNS server, so it will be reserved for the Elektronikon
Mk5.
• Also get the correct Gateway and Subnet mask settings. For example:
• IP = 10.25.43.200
• Gateway = 10.25.42.250
2920 1815 04 167

Instruction book
• Subnet mask = 255.255.254.0

• Connect your Elektronikon Mk5 to the company's network (LAN) by using a UTP cable (min. CAT
5e).
• Adapt the network settings in the Elektronikon Mk5:

• Go to Main Menu
• Go to Settings (1)
• Go to Network (1)

7.2 DIN to JIS adaptor flanges
Application
Compressors used for the Japanese market are connected to an outlet pipe that is manufactured according
to the local JIS standard (Japanese Industrial Standard). To enable the connection between the mounted
DIN flanged compensator and the JIS outlet pipe the compressor comes with a loose DIN to JIS adaptor
flange that should be welded on the Japanese customer's installation.

Description
The compressor must only be moved or lifted as described in the section Initial start-up.
1. Install the compressor on a level floor suitable for taking its weight. The recommended minimum
distance between the top of the body and the ceiling is 1200 mm (47 in).
2. Remove the plastic plug (if provided) from the compressor air outlet pipe and install an air outlet
valve. Close the valve and connect it to the air net.
3. The maximum total length of the air delivery pipe can be calculated as follows:
For SI Units:
Lmax= (dp x d5 x p) / (450 x Qc1.85)
Symbol Explanation
d Inner diameter of the outlet pipe in mm
dp Pressure drop (recommended maximum = 0.1 bar)
L Length of outlet pipe in m
p Absolute pressure at the compressor outlet in bar(a)
Qc Free air delivery of the compressor in l/s
For British/American Units:

Lmax= (1470 x d5 x p x dp) / Qc1.85
Symbol Explanation
d Inner diameter of the outlet pipe in inch
dp Pressure drop (recommended maximum = 1.45 psi)
L Length of outlet pipe in ft
p Absolute pressure at the compressor outlet in psi(g)
Qc Free air delivery of the compressor in cfm
It is strongly recommended to make the connection of the compressor air outlet pipe on top of the
main air net pipe in order to minimize carry-over of possible condensate residue.
As a rule of thumb, the following formula can be used to calculate the recommended volume of the
air net:
V = (30 x C x p x Q) / dp
Symbol Explanation
C Correction factor
dp Pressure difference between unloading and loading pressures in bar (recommended
minimum = 0.6)
p Compressor inlet pressure in bar absolute
Q Free air delivery of compressor in l/s
V Recommended air net volume in l

4. The inlet grids and ventilation fan should be installed in such a way that any recirculation of cooling
air to the compressor is avoided. The maximum air velocity through the grids is 5 m/s (16.5 ft/s).
The required ventilation capacity (per compressor installed) to limit the compressor room temperature
can be calculated as follows:
For ZR compressors:
• For SI Units: Qv = 0.1 N/dT
• For British/American Units: Qv = 284.5 N/dT
For ZT compressors:
• For SI Units: Qv = 0.92 N/dT
• For British/American Units: Qv = 2617.4 N/dT

N Shaft input of compressor
• For SI Units: in kW
• For British/American Units: in hp
Qv Required ventilation capacity
• For SI Units: in m3/s
• For British/American Units: in cfm
If cooling air ducts are installed, the maximum allowable pressure drop over the ducts is 30 Pa (0.12
in wc). Common ducting for several compressors is not allowed.
5. Lay out the drain piping from the condensate outlets towards the condensate collector. The drain
pipes must not dip into the water in the collector. It is recommended to provide a funnel to allow
visual inspection of the condensate flow.
6. Elektronikon control system with control panel.
7. See Electric cable size, fuses and cable length for the recommended size of the supply cables.
Check that the electrical connections meet local codes. The installation must be earthed and protected
against short circuits by fuses in all phases. An isolating switch must be installed near the compressor.
8. Install a condensate drain valve in the lower part of the air net piping.
9. On ZR compressors, remove the plastic plugs (if fitted) from the compressor water pipes (WI and
WO) and connect the pipes to the cooling water circuit. Fit a valve in the compressor water inlet pipe
and outlet pipe.
10. Extra grating for compressors equipped with the separate air intake and/or prefilter option(s).
11. Energy recovery water supply.

Do's and don'ts

The supplied compensators are NOT designed:
• to carry the weight of the mounted customer pipe end.
• to work as a damper for unanchored pipe ends.
• to carry the thrust forces of the compressed air.
Therefore, adequate supporting and anchoring of the customer pipe end should be foreseen to avoid
compensator damage.
2920 1815 04 209

Instruction book
The compensator loads (Fg and Ft) that are mentioned on the drawing are strictly forbidden:
• Weight loads Fg
• Thrust forces Ft
For the design of piping and supporting structures, use an approved standard code (e.g. EN 13480 or
ASME 16.5/B31.3).
Mind that the connected pipe at customer side does not create any flow restriction
caused by e.g. section reduction.
While installing the compensator, please mind the following check points to avoid sealing damage.
210 2920 1815 04

Instruction book
Situation Description
A Flat DIN flanges prevent damage of the rubber sealings.
B Collared flanges prevent premature wear.
C Add a flat sealing or if necessary a metal disc with flat seal in case of damage risk.
D Avoid excessive torque to prevent damage to the bended pipes or the sealings.
Rubber sealings will get damaged when the inner pipe diameter exceeds the inner sealing
E diameter.
F Rough pipe ends will damage the rubber sealing.
G Avoid contact between the pipe end and the rubber sealing.
Refer to the pictures below for a visual overview of 5 do's and don'ts when installing rubber compensators:
• WRONG installation!
2920 1815 04 211

Instruction book
• CORRECT installation!
212 2920 1815 04

Instruction book

(1) Larger than maximum allowed installation length.
(2) Less than or equal to maximum allowed installation length
(3) Minimum 1 mm of free space
Do NOT:
• Paint the rubber bellows of the expansion joint since:
• Solvents can damage the rubber cover.
• The colored coating avoids decent visual inspection of the rubber condition.
• Weld, cut or grind without protecting the rubber bellows
• Expose the compensator to permanent radiation heat above 90 °C (194 °F)

7.7 Quality of safety components

When installing a remote emergency button or a motor contactor, the following B10d values are advised:
• Emergency stop button: 500 000
• Main contactor: 933 333
7.8 Cooling water requirements
Recommendations
The cooling water quality must meet certain minimum requirements.
No general recommendation can encompass the effects of all combinations of the various compounds,
solids and gases typically found in cooling water in interaction with different materials.
Only non-treated water must be used.
This recommendation is a general guide line for acceptable coolant quality.
Type of system
It is important to define the used cooling water system:
• an open system
• a closed system
In a closed system, the same cooling water circulates through a system without contact with air.
An open system is a pass-through system, or a circulating system with a cooling tower. In the latter case,
the composition of the water that enters the compressor must be considered, and not the composition of the
make-up water. Due to the evaporative effect in the cooling tower, much higher concentrations of ions can
be obtained in the circulating water than in the make-up water.
Ryznar Stability Index (RSI)

The Ryznar Stability Index (RSI) is a parameter for predicting whether water will tend to dissolve or
precipitate calcium carbonate. The adhesion of scaling deposits and their effect are different on different
materials, but the equilibrium of the water (scaling or corrosive) is only determined by its actual pH value
and by the saturation pH value (pHs).
The saturation pH value is determined by the relationship between the calcium hardness, the total
alkalinity, the total solids concentration and the temperature.
The Ryznar Stability Index is calculated as follows :
RSI = 2*pHs - pH
2920 1815 04 231

Instruction book
Symbol Explanation
pH Measured pH (at room temperature) of water sample
pHs pH at saturation
The pHs is calculated by using :

pHs = (9.3 + A + B) - (C + D)
Symbol Explanation
A Depends on the total solids concentration (mg/l)
B Depends on the highest cooling water temperature (˚C/˚F), (T=65 ˚C/149 ˚F)
C Depends on the calcium hardness (ppm CaCO3)
D Depends on the HCO3- concentration or M-alkalinity (mval/l)
The values of A, B, C and D can be found in the following table.

complete water system
The table indicates that distilled or demineralized water should never be used, as their RSI is > 11.
The RSI only indicates the equilibrium of scaling - descaling. A cooling water showing good RSI
conditions can still be unsuitable due to other factors.
From the table above, the RSI index should be between 5.6 and 7.5; if not, consult your local Atlas Copco
Customer Centre.
pH
The effect of pH is already calculated in the Ryznar index, but the pH itself has some additional
limitations : 6.8 < pH < 8.5
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)

This is the sum of all the ions in the water. It can be derived from the dry residue after evaporation (but not
including suspended solids), or it can be estimated from the electrical conductivity.
In a closed system, the following limits apply : TDS < 3000 mg/l (< 3800 microS/cm)
For an open system, the following limits apply : TDS < 750 mg/l ( < 960 microS/cm)
Chlorides (Cl-)
Chloride ions will create pitting corrosion on stainless steel. Their concentration should be limited:
Closed cooling system : chlorides < 500 ppm
Open cooling system : chlorides < 150 ppm
However, if the water is scaling, lower limits should be used. (See The Ryznar stability index (RSI)).
Free chlorine (Cl2)

A level of 0.5 ppm should not be exceeded for long periods.
For shock treatments, a maximum limit of 2 ppm for maximum 30 minutes/day applies.

Ambient conditions / altitude opeartion

Refer to Limitations for the limits of ambient conditions and altitude operation. If the compressor is
operated beyond these limits, precautions must be taken. If this is the case, consult your Atlas Copco
Customer Center.
Moving/lifting
In order not to damage the frame, the compressor must be moved either by a lift truck or by using lifting
equipment as described below.
When moving the compressor with a lift truck, use the slots in the frame. Make sure that the forks protrude
from the other side of the frame. When moving the compressor with a lifting device, insert beams in the
slots. Make sure that the beams cannot slide and that they protrude from the frame equally. The chains
must be held parallel to the bodywork by chain spreaders in order not to damage the compressor. The
lifting equipment must be placed in such a way that the compressor is lifted perpendicularly. Lift gently
and avoid twisting.
General preparation
Make sure that the compressor is installed correctly.
See Dimension drawing, Installation proposal and Electric cable size, fuses and cable length.
A sticker summarizing the operating instructions is delivered with the compressor. Affix the sticker next to
the control panel.
A number of VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) plates are available inside the bodywork to protect the
compressor against corrosion during transport. Remove these plates.

Instruction book
Step Action
2 On compressors equipped with a PDP sensor, close the valve to this sensor. If the
compressor runs with the dryer by-passed without closing the valve to the PDP sensor,
the sensor will be damaged.
Close the dryer inlet and outlet valves (Vdi and Vdo) and open the dryer by-pass valve
(Vdb).
3 Start and load the compressor.
4 Open the dryer inlet valve (Vdi) slightly to pressurize the dryer.
5 Open the regeneration air valve (Vr) fully. Open the air outlet valve (Vdo) and close the
by-pass valve (Vdb).
6 Open valves (1 and Vd-). Open valve (Vd+) slightly, while monitoring the water levels in
the U-tube.
There are two possible conditions:
• The water level in the leg marked (+) rises. Close valve (Vd+) at once, decrease
the regeneration air inlet pressure (see step 7). Do this as often as necessary until
the water level drops.
• The water level in the leg marked (-) rises, which should normally be the case. If
the level in this leg rises 30 mm above the level in the leg marked (+), close valve
(Vd+) at once, as there is a risk that the water will escape the U-tube and
disappear into the pressure vessel. Increase the regeneration air inlet pressure
(see step 7) and open valve (Vd+) again.
7 Once the water column has stabilized, adjust the pressure differential as follows:
• Remove the protective cap from the adjusting screw of throttle valve (Rf).
• Loosen its check nut and turn the screw inwards to increase or outwards to
decrease the pressure differential.
• The water level in the leg marked (-) must be between 20 and 40 mm above that in
the leg marked (+).
• Monitor the water level for about 10 minutes.
• Tighten the check nut and reinstall the protective cap.
• Check that the moisture indicator is blue after approximately 30 minutes of
operation. If the moisture indicator is still pink after 2 hours of operation, the
pressure dewpoint is too high.
8 Stop the compressor.

3 Press start button (14). The compressor starts running in unloaded condition and
automatic operation LED (7) lights up.
4 Approx. 25 seconds later (programmable), the compressor starts running loaded.
5 On ZR compressors, regulate the water flow with the compressor running loaded and
the thermostatic valve completely open (the latter is valid for energy recovery units). The
aim is to obtain a cooling water temperature rise over the complete compressor unit of
15 K (in case of Pack compressors) and 10 K (in case of Full-Feature compressors). In
case of Full-Feature compressors, also the water flow over the integrated dryer is to be
regulated: a cooling water temperature rise over the dryer of 5 K is to be achieved. For
compressors without energy recovery, this is done by using the ball valve (1) inside the
compressor.
For compressors with energy recovery, a separate fresh cooling water circuit over the
dryer is foreseen and to be regulated to 5 K.

possible know-how and technology to really help our customers
