Protection and warning
1. Motor overload protection
There are two motors in the compressor assembly. One is the main driving motor and the other
is a cooling fan motor. Generally, when running current that exceeds the upper limit of the
relay, the main power will shutdown automatically. Re-setting the unit is required prior to the
next startup. The relay limit has been preset by the factory. To maintain normal operation,
please do not change the limit setting without consulting the factory.

Human error: such as adjusting to higher discharge pressure, or improper setting of the
overload relay may cause a nuissant trip.

Mechanical failure:
A. Such as motor internal phase loss, pressure relief valve malfunction improper setting, oil
separator clog and startup with back pressure resulting from none closed intake
valve…etc...
B.
If motor overloads during operation, please contact manufacturer immediately to
prevent damage to the motor.
2. Protection for discharge temperature
Discharge temperature setting is 230°F (110
℃
℃
℃
℃
). If the temperature exceeds 230°F (110
℃
℃
℃
℃
),
the compressor will trip.
One of the most common reasons for high discharge temperature is
an issue with the oil cooler. For an air-cooled compressor, if the radiator is clogged, oil
temperature goes up resulting in compressor to trip because cooling air can’t pass through the
radiator. Clean the dust off the fins of the radiator periodically with compressed air or with a
solvent if the situation gets worse.
Air
compressors are designed to operate up to 104°F (40
℃
) ambient temperature making it
necessary to place it in a well-ventilated area.
When the compressor is tripped due to a high
discharge temperature, the system is unable to restart unless the reset button is pressed.
3. Warning
Compressor has a warning system for the air intake filter, oil filter, and oil separator. If one of
these filters is clogged, the controller will show a warning. Please replace with factory parts to
ensure safety and high efficiency operation.
