 NOTICE

Please read all the operation manual before operating the set and keep this manual for further
reference.

Installation of MAM—KY** compressor controller can be performed only by professional technicians.

Installation position shall be considered carefully in order to ensure good ventilation and reduce
electromagnetic interference.

Wiring shall be performed respectively according to regulations for heavy and weak current to reduce
electromagnetic interference.

RC snubber must be connected to the two terminals of coil (such as AC contactor ,valve, etc),which
are controlled by relay output.

Port connection shall be inspected carefully before power on.

Correct ground connection (the third ground)can help increase product capacity of resisting signal
interference.

Set rated current of motor: the max current of motor/1.2.

Feature：
● LCD Chinese / English display
● With all-round protection functions of short-circuit, block,open phase, overload and unbalance for
motor.
● On-off control of motor.
● Prevention for air compressor reversion.
● Temperature measurement, control and protection.
● Automatic adjusting of rate of load and controlling of pressure balance
● High integration, high reliability, high cost performance
● Remote/Local Mode
● Block control/Single machine/DCS control.
● Function of RS485 communication
