RATIO 1.1 The BOGE control
These operating instructions contain a description of the RATIO con-

trol system.
General BOGE compressors are equipped with a modern control.

RATIO, an integrated control and monitoring concept, with two objectives:
– Energy savings and thus reduction of ongoing costs.
– Prolonging the service life of the compressor due to minimum wear.
All programmed data is stored in a memory module (EEPROM).
Thus the stored information is even available following a power failure.
Microcontroller The BOGE-RATIO control adapts dynamically to the respective operating

conditions. A micro-controller assumes the following three tasks:
1. Automatic selection of the most economical operating mode
The micro-controller calculates the optimum operating mode from the
current operating state and a programmed ideal value, also taking into
account the constant compressor system data (e.g. delivery quantity,
receiver volume, motor switching cycles) as well as the current variables
(e.g. compressed air consumption, supply and non-supply times, pres-
sure increase and decrease speed).
In order to save operating costs, it always strives for the most economical
intermittent operation.
2. Automatic optimization of the motor switching cycles
The micro-controller calculates the optimum number of motor switching
cycles. This protects the drive motor and prolongs the service life of the
plant.
3. Automatic reminder of the maintenance intervals
The microcontroller monitors the maintenance intervals.

– blinks → the idling symbol appears during the
time-controlled run-up or star phase. For a star/
delta contactor combination the following applies:
the star contactor is switched on first followed by
the network contactor 20ms later. The idling symbol
signals the state of the electropneumatic control.
Thus it also appears after reaching the set maxi-
mum pressure – during the decrease phase of the
system pressure.
Load operation The run-up phase – or star phase – is automatically

! finished by switching the electropneumatical control
bar °C into load operation and the symbol appears
in the display – probably first a change to delta
connection takes place 60 ms after the star phase.

idling symbol appears. The system pressure
is reduced automatically.
Stand by If the network pressure (in idling mode) drops below

(Ready for operation) the max. start-up back pressure and the automatic
bar °C operating cycles monitoring allows it, the control
unit switches the motor off and the Stand by symbol
is shown in the display. If the network pressure
drops to the set minimum pressure within the idling
phase, the compressor switches back to load opera-
tion and the respective symbol is displayed again.
If this happens shortly after having switched to
stand still, it has to be waited in case of contactor
connection – cf. also motor spinning time – until the
compressors is switched off for 20 s, to be sure that
the motor stands completely still, before you may
start it again. If the pressure is below the switch-on
pressure this is signalled by the blinking of the
Stand-by symbol until the compressor starts again.

General The control unit calculates from the current operating data the respective
best operating mode and automatically selects it.
The parameters are adjustable.
In order to prevent unintentional changes to pre-set parameters, these
parameters are codeword-protected.
ATTENTION!
Never change the value of a parameter if you do not know what it means!
This may cause incorrect behaviour of the control unit!
Do not experiment with parameter settings!
Always call BOGE-Service if you are unsure or have any doubts.
Parameterization In general the following is applicable: If a parameterization, as described

below, is started at the top right in the display the symbol appears and
the set value or status blinks.
Enter Parameterization 1. Display Software-No. (see Software No.).

Code 2. Press ENTER ↵ → and the parameterization symbol is shown on the
left, followed by three zeros, the left of which blinks.
3. Press ↑ or ↓ to change the first digit.
4. Press ↵ → and now the middle zero blinks.
5. Press ↑ or ↓ to change the second digit.
6. Press ↵ → and now the right zero blinks.
7. Press ↑ or ↓ to change the third digit.
8. Press ↵ → the display will now branch off depending on the set number
– if the value is invalid the main display will reappear.
Each parameterization is automatically registered by the control, together
with the associated time, thus putting an overview at the disposal of BOGE-
Service.
Set the compressor The servicing interval memory can be set to a value between 300 and
servicing interval 9900 hours in one hundred hours increments as long as the interval time
and restart limit is monitored by the control – if it is not used it has to be set to 10000 h,
as it stops the down counter.

Manometer '22' and digit 3 are blinking. This setting means that a limiting
suction pressure switch (continuous output control) is connected to the
input 'Pressure control'.
4. Press ↵-key to overwrite the non-volatile EEPROM as per the blinking
symbol, and the main display reappears. If the compressor is set for an
output enabling device (e.g. mode 2), the bottom of the main display shows
the appropriate Symbol . The following applies even with exter-
nal enabling: If the upper target pressure value in the compressor is ex-
ceeded, the output will be shut off. Only when the the pressure drops
to the lower target pressure value the external control resumes.

RATIO.pm6.5 - GB
Proportional control The limiting suction pressure switch (min. output) of a proportional control is
(not in the case of frequency – in case of a single compressor (without higher-level pressure control ) –
regulated compressors) connected to the input external output enable – cf point 3 (external output
enable).
If the proportional control is used in connection with a suitable higher-
level control, the limiting suction pressure switch is connected directly to the
higher-level control and this control subsequently to the input external output
enable, which then has to be parameterized correspondingly – cf point 2 and
3 (external output enable).
Timer A timer can either be connected individually or in combination with a propor-

tional control or a higher-level control. The parameterization has to be done

Remote On-Off Each time the control is activated by parameterization, afterwards a blinking
control time value appears, which is described under Network independent On-Off-
memory (Auto-Restart). Likewise it can be changed after having selected the
! On-Off-memory function.
This value is used as a start delay time, if the control was set to 'Remote' –

Anti freeze operation The compressor is set to automatically start an idling phase – in star mode
(only in mode i.e. without switching on a probably existing ventilator motor – from standby
ready for operation) when the temperature drops to below + 4°C. During this phase in the main
display a thermometer blinks left of the temperature display. The idling phase
is finished as soon as the min. after-running time or + 20°C final compression
temperature are reached.

This anti-freeze function can be switched off as follows:
shows Fig. on the left: the 'curve' left of the thermometer blinks.
This display means: automatic idling phase in frost.
2. Press ↑ or ↓-key to change to Fig. on the left (press again to toggle

back...) The 3x dotted line left of the thermometer blinks.
This display means: no automatic running phase in frost, shown by means

bol, and the main display from the selected symbol appears.

General The tables on the following pages give information on the possible causes of
operating faults and measures for their rectification.
ATTENTION!
Ensure that any work required to rectify faults is only carried out by trained
personnel or specialists.
Ensure that components which have a safety function are only set, repaired
or exchanged by BOGE Service!

Automatic monitoring All data is stored in a memory module (EEPROM), which can be electrically
of the control systems written on and deleted.
If a fault occurs while the data stored in the EEPROM is being read, the con-
trol system will react as follows:
– The compressor is switched off.
– The following fault message appears in the display.
