2.9 INSTRUMENT PANEL GROUP, FUNCTIONAL
DESCRIPTION-- STANDARD ELECTRO/ME-
CHANICAL
Refer to Figure 2---5 for specific location of parts de-
scribed. The Instrument Panel group consists of a
panel containing the line pressure , sump pres-
sure
and
discharge temperature gauges
, the
separator element and the fluid filter , restriction
gauges , along with START and STOP pushbut-
tons and an hourmeter .
Refer to Figure 2---5 for locations of the following in-
dicators and controls:
S
The line (terminal) pressure gauge is con-
nected to the dry side of the receiver downstream
from the check valve and continually monitors the
air pressure.
S
The sump pressure gauge continually monitors
the sump pressure at the various load and/or un-
load conditions.
S
The
discharge temperature gauge
monitors
the temperature of the air leaving the compressor
unit. For both air---cooled and water---cooled com-
pressors the normal reading is approximately
180
_
F to 205
_
F (82
_
C to 96
_
C).
S
The separator maintenance gauge monitors
condition of the separator element and shows in
the red zone when the element restriction is exces-
sive.
S
The
fluid filter maintenance gauge
monitors
the condition of the bearing lube filter element and
shows in the red zone when the element should be
changed.
S
The START pushbutton turns the compressor on.
S
The STOP pushbutton turns the compressor off.
S
The
hourmeter
records accumulative hours of
operation for the compressor and is useful for plan-
ning and logging service operations.
S
The red light on the instrument panel indicates
when power to the compressor is supplied.
S
The
green light
indicates when the compressor is
running.
S
The HAND/AUTO switch provides selection be-
tween hand operation and automatic control.
