AIR CARE SEMINAR TRAINING
Sullair Air Care Seminars are courses that provide hands-on instruction for the proper operation, maintenance,
and servicing of Sullair products. Individual seminars on portable compressors and compressor electrical
systems are offered at regular intervals throughout the year at Sullair’s corporate headquarters training facility
located at Michigan City, Indiana.

Instruction includes training on the function and installation of Sullair service parts, troubleshooting common
faults and malfunctions, and actual equipment operation. These seminars are recommended for maintenance,
contractor maintenance, and service personnel.

4.3 APPLICATION GUIDE under conditions where severe oil oxidations can
occur.
Water must be drained from the receiver tank
periodically. In high ambient temperature and high
humidity conditions, condensed moisture may
emulsify with the oil forming a “milky” color. ATF or
SAE 10W is especially prone to this condition. The
fluid should be changed if this condition develops.

CAUTION
DO NOT mix types of fluids. Combinations
of different fluids may lead to operational
problems such as foaming, filter plugging,
orifice or line plugging.

When ambient conditions exceed those noted or if


conditions warrant use of other extended life
lubricants, contact Sullair for recommendations.

for service or indicate the beginning of a malfunction.

5.2 PURPOSE OF CONTROLS


CONTROL OR INDICATOR PURPOSE
OFF/ON Switch / START Switch (Up) * The engine switch is used to both energize the compressor’s electrical
system and engage the engine/starter. It also has a built-in anti-restart
device that protects the starter from engaging while the engine is running.
The switch must be turned back to the “off” position before the engine can
be re-started.

NOTE
When restarting the compressor, the controller will not
allow restart until system pressure falls below 10 psig
(0.7 bar) or less. More than 10 psig (0.7 bar) can put
extra load on the starter.

Voltmeter * Monitors the condition of the batteries and the charging circuit. The
normal reading is 24 to 28 volts.
Service Air Pressure Gauge * Continually monitors the pressure inside the receiver tank at various load
and unload conditions.
Engine Temperature Gauge * Monitors the temperature of the engine water. The normal operating
temperature should read approximately 160ºF to 210ºF (71ºC to 99ºC).
Controller * Depicts system related diagnostics. Can be used for system performance
monitoring.
Compressor Temperature Gauge * Monitors the temperature of the air/fluid mixture leaving the compressor
unit. The normal reading should be approximately 170ºF to 190ºF (77ºC
to 88ºC).
System Pressure Sensor Prevents starter engagement when the air system is pressurized.
Fluid Level Sight Glass Monitors the fluid level in the receiver tank. Proper level is always visible
in the sight glass. Check the level when the compressor is shutdown.
Receiver Tank Temperature Switch Opens the electrical circuit to shut down the compressor when then
receiver tank temperature reaches 250ºF (121ºC).
ON/OFF Start Switch Structure Allows the engine to run at unload speed (lower pressure until properly
cooled down. refer to controller manual 02250201-242

1600F LP USER MANUAL SECTION 5

CONTROL OR INDICATOR PURPOSE


Notes*
Control Regulating Valve Provides an air signal to the inlet valve and engine to close the inlet valve
and reduce engine speed to control air delivery according to demand.
Minimum Pressure/Check Valve Maintains a minimum of 65 psig (4.5 bar) in the compressor receiver tank.
This valve restricts receiver air discharge from receiver/receiver tank
when pressure falls to 65 psig (4.5 bar). Also prevents back flow into the
receiver tank during upload conditions and after shutdown.
High/Low Pressure Selector Switch * Select high pressure 150 psig (10.3 bar) or low pressure 100 psig (6.9
(only on dual pressure models) bar) at instrument panel to correspond to operator’s needs.
Pressure Relief Valve Opens receiver tank pressure to atmosphere should pressure inside the
receiver tank exceed the pressure relief valve setting.
Air Inlet Valve Regulates the amount of air allowed to enter the compressor. This
regulation is determined by the amount of air being used at the service
line.
Thermal Valve Regulates flow of fluid to and around the fluid cooler. Designed to
maintain a minimum operating temperature; used for fast warm-up at
start-up and to eliminate condensation during operation.
Blowdown Valve Vents surplus receiver tank pressure to the atmosphere during operation
and shutdown.
Coolant Level Switch Shuts the compressor down and/or prevents it from being started if the
engine coolant level drops too low.
Regeneration Switch * To manually control the exhaust aftertreatment is in soot indicator levels of
15 - 105%
DPF Lamp * Indicates DPF is above 80% soot loading. Warns operator that
regeneration is required.
Regeneration Inhibited Lamp * Indicates regeneration is inhibited by operator, application, or Cat ET.
High Exhaust System Temperature (HEST) Indicates that the exhaust aftertreatment is in active regeneration.
