MODULATION OPTION ON R90-160IU (EN)
Introduction
The Modulation option or inlet valve modulation (throttling) is used as a means of capacity control of rotary screw
compressors. Modulation adjusts the output capacity of the compressor depending on the demand for air and
thereby optimizes power consumed by the compressor. Modulation is achieved by controlling the opening / closing
of the inlet valve and hence the amount of air entering the air end. Modulation is used as an option in R90-160 IU
compressors as an alternative to the standard control of loading / unloading. This optional control method is used to
achieve increased energy efficiency when the air demand is fluctuating.
General Information on Safety
Ensure that the maintenance / installation personnel are adequately trained, competent and have read the operations
/ maintenance manual for the compressor package in question.
Compressed air and electricity can be dangerous. Before undertaking any work on the compressor, ensure that the
electrical supply has been isolated and the compressor has been relieved of all pressure.
Modulation System on R90-160 IU Rotary compressor
Modulation System for R90-160 IU is an optional feature and installation in the field involves modifications to the
standard installed controls. All the parts needed for installation are supplied in a single modulation field kit, CCN-
23083629. The kit includes an extra elbow (39155577) and an extra connector (39156393), in case the ones fitted to the
Inlet valve cannot be reused after removal.
This instruction manual explains the procedure for installing the modulation system in a compressor with standard
load / unload controls.
Configuring the Intellisys S3 controller for modulation
Following the correct installation of the modulation kit, in order to activate the modulation option, follow the
procedure listed below:
• Press the ‘menu password entry screen’ button
• Enter ‘0000’ (press enter 4 times)
• Select menu screen ‘P01’ (press down arrow 1 time and then press enter button)
• Select modulation function ‘Md’ (press down arrow 3 times and then press enter button)
• Change value to ‘1’ (press up arrow 1 time and then press enter button)
• Clear to compressor status screen (press cancel button 2 times)
Compressor is now configured to modulate as detailed below.
Note:
In order to manually deactivate modulation control, follow the procedure as listed above, with the exception of
changing the ‘Md’ value to ‘0’.
Modulation automatic activation/deactivation
Once modulation has been activated, when the compressor first starts and loads, the modulation output will be off. If
the unit cycles (loads and unloads) 3 times within a 3 minute period, the compressor will start modulating. If the unit is
modulating, modulation output will follow the load output; ON if the unit is loaded and OFF if the unit is unloaded.
If the compressor unloads and stays unloaded for 3 minutes, the unit will stop modulating. The compressor will have
to repeat the 3 load cycles in 3 minutes to start modulating again. If the unit stops in auto start/stop while modulating,
it will continue modulating if it restarts in less than 3 minutes after unloading. If it restarts more than 3 minutes after
unloading, it will have to load and unload 3 times in 3 minutes again to start modulating. If the unit is stopped by the
operator or stopped by a fault, the modulation output will be off when the unit is restarted. It will have to be cycled 3
times within 3 minutes for the modulation output to turn on.
