Control Version S : 

This version is best suited for “continuous run”

applications (whenever the compressor must start more than six [6] times
per hour).  If the demand for compressed air is continuous and exceeds one
half or more of the compressor’s capacity, Control Version S should be used.

Once the compressor is started, it continues to run until it is manually

turned off.  Whenever there is a demand for compressed air, the pilot valve
closes, allowing the unloader in the unloader tower to actuate.  At this point,
the compressor starts making compressed air.  As soon as the demand for
compressed air is met, the pilot valve opens, allowing air pressure to de-
actuate in the unloader tower.  The compressor continues to run but does not
compress air.

Control Version LS: 

This version consists

 

of a head assembly with

unloader tower(s)* a pilot valve and a hydraulic unloader.  It is usually
applied to gas or diesel engine driven units.  Virtually the same as Control
Version S, but with a hydraulic unloader added to protect the compressor
in the event of an oil pressure drop.

Control Version LVD:

 Unloader tower(s)*, a pilot valve with a manual

shut-off, a hydraulic unloader, a check valve assembly, and a pressure
switch make up the LVD Control Version.  This version is recommended
wherever the degree of demand and usage is variable.

The manual shutoff allows for the selection of either “start/stop” or

“continuous run” control.  In either situation, the hydraulic unloader
protects the compressor from excessive damage caused by a drop in oil
pressure.
