RS Operation with other Hydrovane
Compressors
Hydrovane RS compressors may be operated efficiently in
conjunction with other Hydrovane compressors fitted with
automatic stop-start control.
Adjust the RS minimum air line pressure to midway between the
maximum and minimum air line pressure settings of the other
compressor. The RS compressor will automatically assume the
lead compressor role after several cycles.
NOTE ! If the RS compressor is operated with other Hydrovane
standard single speed compressors feeding a common pressure
system, the minimum air line pressure of the RS compressor must
be limited to the lowest maximum air line pressure of the single
speed machine(s). No attempt must be made to increase the
operating pressure of the single speed machine(s).
The pressure transducer sensing point is located in a valve
housing adjacent to the outlet from the compressor. If the
pipework from the compressor to the system is restricted, or prone
to excessive pressure fluctuation, rapid speed changes and/or
frequent stopping and starting of the motor may occur.
Should this condition arise, consult a Hydrovane Distributor who
will arrange to re-site the pressure transducer location.
