4.4 Pressure Sensor Connection
The pressure sensor must be connected to
terminal X01 of the DCO using an earth
screened, twisted pair (0.25mm
2
minimum),
cable no greater than 100m (330ft) in length.

4.5 Compressor Interface PCB
The ‘mi-PCB’ is designed to interface a
compressor with the DCO using a 3-wire
(0.5mm

minimum), cable no greater than 30m
(100ft) in length.

Each compressor in the system must be
assigned a unique identification number from 1
up to the number of compressors in the
system. The identification number should be
clearly indicated on each compressor for
operational reference.
For each compressor connected to the DCO
utilising an ‘mi-PCB,’ the signal wires must be
connected to the DCO terminals dedicated for
the assigned compressor reference number.

The ‘mi-PCB’ is a 35mm DIN rail mountable
module designed to be installed within the
compressor control or switchgear area.
Each compressor must be equipped with a
load/unload regulation system and, if not
regulated with a single electro-mechanical
pressure switch, have a facility for a remote
load/unload control with the ability to accept a
volt-free switching contact input for remote
load/unload regulation.
Consult the compressor manual or your air
compressor supplier/specialist for details
before installing the DCO.
The ‘mi-PCB’ is equipped with ‘volt-free’
switching relay contacts for load/unload output
and an input for Alarm or Alarm/Running
detection.
