Oil System Control
The CMC panel provides control of the prelube pump and lube oil heater in the starting
sequence, during normal operation and after compressor stops or trips.
Prelube Pump
The prelube pump is started when the panel power is on and Seal Air is present. The
prelube pump stops after the compressor start button is pushed and the programmable
timer “Start Time” has expired. The pump does not come on again until the Stop key is
pressed, and will remain on until the panel power is turned off or Seal Air is lost.
Oil Heater
The oil heater is thermostatically controlled. When the oil temperature is below the set point
temperature, the oil heater is energized, above the set point temperature it is de-energized.
The oil heater control does not have any interaction with the microprocessor board and is
designed to operate with the control panel de-energized as long as three-phase power is
available.
