TESTING YOUR SYSTEM
Before installing the HS-55, you may wish to test the system prior to going to the field. Testing
the HS-55 will familiarize you with the compressor in an environment where it is easy to work.
The HS-55 is designed to be mounted in a vertical position. The water /oil separator will not
function properly if the unit is in a horizontal position.
Once the HS-55 is positioned, connect
the power leads to an appropriate power supply (12VDC, 38 Amp Hour minimum). Turn on power
switch to start the compressor pumping. The pump will take approximately 4 minutes to fill the
air tank to maximum pressure of 85 p.s.i, (600 Kpa) and will then automatically switch off.
Connect to the outlet port (see figure 6) a short piece of river line tubing and secure the end into
a container of water. Check the bubble rate setting as required (factory setting is equivalent to 80
bubbles per minute). If the bubble rate requires adjustment, (see page 16 for instructions).
Please note, if the HS-55 is to be tested without a pressure transducer fitted, then the red valve on
the instrument port (see figure 6) is to be closed prior to the test operation commencing.
There are two pressure gauges fitted to the HS-55. The unit attached to the pressure regulator
(figure 2,
№
44) indicates the set feed pressure (factory set at 400 Kpa) this pressure should be
retained at this setting, however, if adjustment is required, pull the supply regulator knob (figure
2,
№
49) and turn it until the required setting is achieved, once finished, push the knob back in
place. The second pressure gauge (figure 1,
№
10) is located on the side of the HS-55, indicates
the air tank pressure.
To test the purge operation, press the red button. Purge duration should be 5 seconds maximum
during testing.
