Listed below are some, but not all, safety precautions that
must be observed with compressors and compressed air
systems.
Failure to follow any of these warnings may result in
severe personal injury, death, property damage and/
or compressor damage.
• Air from this compressor will cause severe injury or
death if used for breathing or food processing. Air
used for these processes must meet OSHA 29 CFR
1910.134 regulations.
• Disconnect and lockout all power supplies to the
compressor plus any remote controllers prior to
servicing the unit.
• Do not rely on the discharge air line check valve.
• Do not override any safety or shutdown devices.
• Keep doors closed during operation. The noise level
inside cabinet exceeds 100 decibels (dBA) and the
operating temperature of some components is
sufficient to burn the skin.
• Never assume it is safe to work on the compressor
because it is not operating. Many installations have
automatic start/stop controls and the compressor may
start at any time.
• This compressor is designed for use in the
compression of normal atmospheric air only. No
other gases, vapors or fumes should be exposed to
the compressor intake, nor processed through the
compressor.
NOTICE
These instructions, precautions and descriptions
cover standard Quincy manufactured QSD™
Series air compressors.
As a service to our customers, we often modify or
construct packages to the customers
specifications. This manual may not be
appropriate in those cases.
• Relieve all pressure internal to the compressor prior
to servicing. Do not depend on check valves to hold
system pressure.
• A properly sized pressure relief valve must be
installed in the discharge piping ahead (upstream) of
any shut-off valve (block valve), heat exchanger,
orifice or any potential blockage point. Failure to
install a pressure relief valve could result in the
rupturing or explosion of some compressor
component.
• Do not change the pressure setting of the pressure
relief valve, restrict the function of the pressure relief
valve, or replace the pressure relief valve with a
plug. Over pressurization of system or compressor
components can occur, resulting in death, severe
personal injury or property damage.

The Compression Cycle and Air Flow
The compression cycle of the two-stage QSD™ rotary
compressor is a continuous process from the intake of
stage one to the discharge of stage two. Each stage
consists of two rotors in constant mesh, housed in a
cylinder with two parallel adjoining bores. Each male
rotor has lobes that mesh with flutes in the female rotor.
The rotors are synchronized via AGMA12 timing gears.
All parts are machined to exacting tolerances.
• Indicators
As the rotors of stage one rotate, air is drawn into the
cylinder through the inlet port located immediately after
the air cleaner connection. A volume of air is trapped as
the rotor lobes pass the inlet cut off points in the
cylinders. Compression occurs as the male rotor rolls
into the female flute, progressively reducing the space,
thereby raising the pressure.
General Description
The QSD™ compressor is a two-stage, positive
displacement, oil-free rotary screw unit consisting of two
precision-machined rotors per stage. The male rotor of
each stage are turned by a set of precision timing gears
which are driven by the motor through a flexible drop-out
type coupling. Both rotors (of each stage) are housed in a Compression continues until the lobe and flute pass the
single cast iron cylinder with water jackets surrounding
them.
discharge port. The compressed air is then discharged
into the intercooler. The air then flows through a
moisture separator/trap assembly to remove condensate
from the cooling process. From there the air flows to the
inlet of stage two. Air inlet pressure at the stage two inlet
should be between 30 to 36 psig.
All models are equipped with a positive displacement
fluid pump mounted to the gearbox to circulate fluid
through the bearing system and to the gear mesh. The
fluid cooler, fluid pressure relief valve, and fluid filter are
also mounted on the gearbox.
In stage two, the above compression process is repeated.
Discharge air pressure from stage two will be the
requested system pressure. From stage two the
compressed air travels through an aftercooler and a
second moisture separator/trap assembly. The
compressed air passes through a minimum pressure
check valve and into the compressed air distribution
system.
All components are attached to a heavy-duty steel frame.
Controls and indicators are arranged on a control panel.
An acoustical cabinet is included to reduce machine
sound levels.

Section II - Description
The stage two cooler cools the water/glycol (70/30)
mixture which is circulated through the fluid cooler and
the jackets of the compressor stages.
Cooling System
Water-cooled
The QSD™ water-cooled cooling system is divided into
two parallel circuits.
The third cooling process takes place in the aftercooler
which cools the discharge air from stage two, which then
passes through a moisture separator/trap assembly before
entering the distribution system.
The coolant flows from the inlet manifold through the
intercooler, into the stage one compressor jacket and
from the compressor jacket to the outlet manifold.
A coolant flow switch is installed to prevent the
compressor from starting if the coolant circulating pump
fails or to shut down the compressor if there is a loss of
coolant.
The second circuit flow is to the aftercooler, to the fluid
cooler located in the gearbox and finally through the
stage two compressor jackets to the outlet manifold.
NOTE
If the compressor is shut down for an extended
period and temperatures are expected to be less
than 0°F, drain system of all coolant.
The inlet coolant manifold contains a coolant flow switch
which prevents the compressor from starting if there is
inadequate coolant flow. The switch will also shut down
the compressor if there is a loss of coolant.
A fan located below the coolers draws air through a
baffled inlet over the airend and motor, discharges it
across the coolers and exhausts it out the top and end of
the machine.
NOTE
If the compressor is shut down during freezing
weather, the drain plugs located at both ends on
the underside of the coolers along with the plug
on the coolant line from the fluid cooler should
be removed. Compressed air at 15-20 psig should
be injected into the system to remove the
remaining coolant.
Lubricating Fluid System
Lubrication is provided by a pump located on the
gearbox. The gearbox also acts as the fluid reservoir and
supports the fluid cooler and fluid filter.
To maintain the efficiency of the cooling system
provisions have been made for chemical cleaning of the
system.
The fluid from the pump passes through a filter then to

to provide isolation of the compressor cooling system
from the supply.
Moisture Separator
Air-cooled
Two combination moisture separator and water traps are
provided for collecting and removing condensate at both
the intercooler and aftercooler discharge and expelling it
to the customer’s drain.
The QSD™ air-cooled cooling system is comprised of
three separate cooling sections.
The first cooler is the intercooler, which reduces the stage
one discharge temperature. The air then passes through a
moisture separator/trap, then into stage two of the
compressor.
A drain valve is located below the buffing air vents. It is
recommended that this valve be opened daily or more
often as atmospheric (high humidity) conditions require.

Section II - Description
This vacuum creates a reverse pressure differential across
the bearing seals, causing the bearing fluid to migrate
toward the compression chamber when the machine is
unloaded.
Capacity Control System
The standard method of capacity control for the QSD™
oil-free compressor is Continuous Run with load/no-load.
The QSD™ incorporates patented Power$ync® lift valves
on both stages of compression. The valves, one per
stage, actually relieve the compressor stages ability to
compress air. Because the unloading is positive, and no
vacuum is created, unloaded horsepower is minimized.
Also, since the compressor stages are not creating a
vacuum in the unloaded state, there is no tendency for the
bearing fluid to migrate toward the compression
chambers, reducing the likelihood of fluid contamination
of the air.
The Continuous Run Mode of operation is ideal for a
compressed air system that will operate at full load
conditions most of the time, with minimal unloaded time.
The QSD™ allows very consistent and tight control of air
system pressure by constantly monitoring package
discharge pressure and operating within a deadband of as
low as 5 PSI. This means the system pressure never
needs to fall below the normal required pressure.
The recommended receiver size for a QSD™ oil-free
compressor is a minimum of three (3) gallons per rated
compressor CFM; the more the better. If there is more
than one compressor, the receiver must be sized based on
the total CFM of all compressors. This should be
increased to a minimum of five (5) gallons per total
compressor CFM for systems with sharp changes in
demand. The receiver must be located immediately
adjacent to the compressor and before any additional
system components such as dryers and filters. This
allows the Power$ync II™ controller to operate the
compressor coincident to system demand changes
without dramatic episodes of rapid loading and unloading
(cycling) of the machine.
The QSD™ loads and unloads in response to the air
system pressure. The Power$ync II™ controller monitors
package discharge pressure into the compressed air
system and either opens or closes the lift valves to load or
unload the compressor, based on preset pressure values.
Upon start-up, the QSD™ will operate at full capacity up
to a predetermined maximum value, usually 5 PSI above
the normal plant air system operating level. The
blowdown valve and both lift valves are closed at this
time. When the preset pressure value is reached, the
Power$ync II™ controller opens both lift valves and the
blowdown valve simultaneously, reducing the
compressor output to 0%. The QSD™ will continue to
operate in the unloaded condition, with the lift valves and
the blowdown valve in the open position, until the
Power$ync II™ controller detects a reduction in pressure
indicating a reset condition. This pressure, like the
unload, is determined by the customer, based on the air
system operating requirements. The Power$ync II™
controller reacts to the signal by closing the lift valves
and the blowdown valve, thus reloading the compressor
and returning to 100% output to complete the cycle.
NOTE
Continuous operation with rapid load/no-load
cycles will reduce component life. Cycle rates
should never exceed six (6) per minute. Proper
receiver sizing is essential for reliable operation.
The QSD™ does not use an inlet valve, but rather the
patented Power$ync® lift valve technology to unload the
machine. With this type of control, the unit is operating
either at full capacity or 0% capacity, depending on
system pressure.
NOTE
If the stage two discharge blowdown valve fails
to open an excessive pressure differential across
stage two will occur. The unit will shut down
automatically to prevent excessive temperature
build-up in the stage two airend.
Suction or inlet valves on competitor designs act to close
the inlet to the compressor and induce a vacuum in both
compressor stages as it continues to try to compress air.

Section II - Description
The Power$ync II™ controller allows the customer to
select Auto Dual as an alternate control method. Auto
Dual incorporates a timer which will turn the compressor
off if it remains in the unloaded condition for a preset
length of time. If the system pressure remains above the
preset pressure for the programmed time interval,
Power$ync II™ places the compressor in Standby Mode,
with the drive and fan motors de-energized. The
Power$ync II™ controller waits for an indication of
demand, recognized as a drop in system pressure to a
preset minimum pressure level, and automatically restarts
the compressor.
Electrical System
A diagram of the electrical system is shown in the parts
manual shipped with the compressor. A wiring diagram
is also included in the control panel of all Quincy
compressors.
NOTE
Due to continuing product improvements and
updates, it is suggested that the wiring diagram
included in the control panel be used when
servicing the electrical control.
Essentially equal to Continuous Run, Auto Dual goes a
step beyond to offer the opportunity for additional power
savings in a system with more dramatic differences in
demand. As demand changes with shift changes or
varying operations, the Power$ync II™ controller will
allow the QSD™ compressor to go into Standby Mode
when compressor output is not needed. Like the
Continuous Run Mode, a properly sized air receiver will
ensure that the compressor operates and reacts properly
as air system demand changes.
NOTE
Standard drive motors are open, drip-proof, with
a maximum ambient temperature rating of 40°C.
They are not suitable for salt laden, corrosive,
dirty, wet or explosive environments.
The standard QSD™ compressor utilizes 460V incoming
power through an across the line magnetic starter. A
transformer in the control panel reduces this voltage to
120 VAC for the various controls on the unit. These
controls include the selector switch, pressure switch,
timer, high air temperature (HAT) safety switches,
solenoid valve and various indicator lights. Other
incoming line voltages are available as options. A
NEMA 4 electrical enclosure is standard.

compressor) for safe and proper daily inspections and
maintenance. The entire length of the base must be
supported. Shim where necessary, but do not use wood.
Quincy recommends installing closed cell foam between
the base and the floor. The machine must be protected
against freezing and excessive ambient temperatures.
Sheltering from freezing temperatures is mandatory.
Ambient temperature should not exceed 110°F (failure to
heed this may result in a high air temperature shutdown).
For air-cooled units, careful consideration of room size
and shape must be done so that hot exhaust air from the
fan does not recirculate within the room, causing the
operating temperatures to rise. All models are intended
for indoor installation.
Read the compressor nameplate to be sure the
compressor is the model and size ordered and that
optionally ordered items are included.
Check the pressure relief valves to be sure they are
adequate for the pressure at which you intend to operate.

Section III - Installation
Quincy QSD™ models are essentially vibration free;
however, some customers may choose to bolt the unit to
the floor to prevent the accidental breakage of piping or
electrical connections as a result of being bumped. Use
only lag bolts to secure the unit. Do not pull the bolts
down tight as this may, under certain circumstances,
place the frame in a twist or bind causing eventual
breakage of coolers, piping, etc.
!
CAUTION
This compressor should not be operated in
temperatures below 40°F or above 110°F.
Do not locate the unit where the hot exhaust air from

WARNING
NOTE
Clean, fresh air in sufficient quantity is required
for proper compressor operation.
Removal or defacing of safety labels will result in
uninformed conditions, which could result in
personal injury or property damage.
Piping Connections
!
WARNING
A drip leg with a drain valve should be mounted adjacent
to the QSD™ service connection and extend below the
package air connection. The drip leg should be drained
daily to avoid accumulation of condensate and debris.
Never locate the compressor inlet system where
it can ingest toxic, volatile or corrosive vapors,
air temperatures exceeding 110°F, water or
extremely dirty air. Death, serious injury or
property damage could result.
Never join pipes or fittings by soldering. Lead-tin
solders have low strength, a low creep limit, and may,
depending on the alloy, start melting at 360°F. Silver
soldering and hard soldering are forms of brazing and
should not be confused with lead-tin soldering. Never
use plastic, PVC, ABS pipe or rubber hose in a
compressed air system.
!
CAUTION
Removal or modification of sound insulation
could result in high sound levels which may be
hazardous to personnel.

Section III - Installation
Piping Fit-up
Pressure Relief Valves
Care must be taken to avoid assembling the piping in a
strain with the compressor. Piping should line up without
having to be sprung or twisted into position. Adequate
expansion loops or bends should be installed to prevent
undue stress at the compressor resulting from the changes
between hot and cold conditions. Pipe supports should
be mounted independently of the compressor and
anchored, as necessary, to limit vibration and prevent
expansion strains. The piping should never be smaller
than the connection on the compressor.
Pressure relief valves are
sized to protect the system.
Never change the pressure
setting or tamper with the
valve. Only the relief valve
manufacturer or an
approved representative is
qualified to make such a
change.
Manual Shutoff Valve
Install a manual shut-off valve (block valve) to vent the
compressor and discharge line to the atmosphere. In
those instances where the air receiver tank services a
single compressor, the manual shut-off valve can be
installed in the receiver. When a manual shut-off valve is
used, a pressure relief valve is installed upstream from
the manual shut-off valve. These valves should be
designed and installed to permit maintenance to be
performed in a safe manner. Never substitute a check
valve for a manual shut-off valve if the purpose is to
isolate the compressor from a system for servicing. If a
manual shut-off valve is installed at the service
connection, it must be open to allow air to pass to the
service line when the compressor is operating. Provide
drip legs in the air piping from the compressor as good
installation practices dictate.
!
WARNING
Relief valves are to protect system integrity in
accordance with ANSI/ASME B19 safety
standards. Failure to provide properly sized relief
valves could cause death or serious injury.
Relief valves are placed ahead of any potential blockage
point which includes, but is not limited to, such
components as shut-off valves, heat exchangers, and
discharge silencers. Ideally, the relief valve should be
threaded directly into the pressure point it is sensing, not
connected with tubing or pipe. Always direct discharge
from relief valves to a safe area away from personnel.
NOTE
Never operate the compressor with the shut-off
valve closed. If the compressor is operated with
the shut-off valve closed, a pressure related
shutdown will occur.

illegible or lost, have it replaced immediately. The
instruction manual should be read periodically
to prevent a serious accident.
• Secure all enclosure panels on compressor.
• Select the mode of operation and start the
compressor.
• Watch for excessive vibration, unusual noises, or air/
fluid leaks. If anything unusual develops, stop the
compressor immediately and correct the condition.
• Control settings have been adjusted at the factory;
however, they should be checked during start-up and
readjusted, if necessary. Some applications may
require a slightly different setting than those
provided by the factory (never increase pressure
settings beyond factory specifications). Refer to
Section VII - Service Adjustments.
Before starting the unit, review Sections II and III of this
manual and be certain that all installation requirements
have been met and that the purpose and use of each of the
controls and all warnings are thoroughly understood.
Adhere to the following checklist before placing the
compressor into operation:
• Observe compressor operation closely for the first
hour of operation and frequently for the next seven
hours. Stop and correct any noted problems.
• Remove all loose items and tools from around the
compressor.
• Check fluid level in the gearbox.
• Check the fan and fan mounting for tightness.
• Manually rotate the compressor through enough
revolutions to be certain there is no mechanical
interference.
NOTE
If the unit fails to start consult Section IX -
Troubleshooting. Do not adjust the unload
pressure more than 5 PSIG beyond the full load
pressure rating of the machine.
• Ensure that all pressure relief valves are in place and
properly sized.
• Make sure all panels and guards are in place and
securely mounted.
• Check fuses, circuit breakers and thermal overloads
for proper size.
• After all the above conditions have been satisfied
close the main power disconnect switch, jog the
starter switch button to check the rotation of the

Each QSD™ unit comes equipped with a fluid level sight
gauge, fluid fill opening, and a fluid drain located on the
gearbox.
QSD™ compressors are factory filled with Quinsyn GL or
Quinsyn GLF (food grade) synthetic fluid. The use of
other brands or types of fluid may reduce the design life
of the compressor or cause problems with filtration or
bearing performance. Consult Quincy Compressor
before changing brands or types of fluid.
Safety
Safety procedures while servicing the compressor are
important to both the service personnel and to those who
may be around the compressor and the system it serves.
Listed below are some, but not all, procedures that should
be followed:
Quinsyn GL or GLF synthetic fluid is available from any
authorized Quincy Distributor and is recommended for
use in all Quincy QSD™ oil-free compressors. Failure to
follow this recommendation will adversely affect your
warranty.
•
•
Always check power supply disconnect. The Power-
on light may be inoperable.
Wait for the unit to cool before starting service.
Temperatures may exceed at 350°F when the
compressor is working.
•
•
Clean up fluid spills immediately to prevent slipping.
Loosen, but do not remove, flange or component
bolting. Then, carefully pry apart same to be sure
there is no residual pressure before removing the
bolting.
!
CAUTION
•
Never use a flammable solvent such as gasoline or
kerosene for cleaning air filters or compressor parts.
Safety solvents are available and should be used in
accordance with their instructions.
Do not mix different grades or types of fluid. Do
not use inferior grades of fluids. Failure to follow
these recommendations may cause severe fluid
breakdown, resulting in the information of
varnish and sludge throughout the system. This
will result in clogging of the cooler and internal

Fluid Filter
Fluid Life
The fluid filter is a spin on, full flow unit. Replacement
of the filter requires spinning off the complete cartridge
and replacing it with a new one. USE GENUINE
QUINCY REPLACEMENT FILTERS ONLY.
Quinsyn GL or GLF fluid can be used for one (1) year or
8,000 hours depending upon application and
recommendations from the fluid analysis. Draining of
the fluid should be done while the fluid is hot to carry
away more impurities. It is strongly suggested that a
reputable fluid analysis program be followed to establish
fluid change intervals.
The initial filter change should occur after the first 500
hours of operation. During normal service, the filter
cartridge should be replaced under the following
conditions, whichever occurs first:
A free fluid analysis service is provided with the use of
Quinsyn GL or Quinsyn GLF fluid. This analysis
provides important information regarding the
performance of the fluid and assists in detecting any
special problems which might arise. Fluid samples
should be taken at the time of fluid filter changes or at
1,000 hour intervals. Fluid sample bottles, labels and
instructions are provided with the compressor package at
the time of shipment. Additional sample bottles may be
purchased through your distributor.

Air Filter
A heavy-duty air filter is standard on all QSD™
compressors. This air filter uses a dry type element. Air
passes through the filter element with an efficiency of
99.9% (as tested by SAE J726 test code specifications).
To change the element, unscrew the strap bolts and
remove and replace the old element. Tighten the bolts
snugly after making certain the element is seated
correctly on its mounting base.
!
WARNING
Hot fluid under pressure could cause death or
serious injury. Do not remove the fluid fill plug
and attempt to add fluid to the fluid reservoir
while the compressor is in operation or when the
system is under pressure. Be sure that the
compressor’s red mushroom stop button is
pushed in and that the main power disconnect
switch is in the off position and locked out to
assure that the compressor will not start
automatically or by accident. Close unit shut-off
valve to eliminate buffing air venting.
NOTE
Intake filtration equipment supplied from the
factory may not be adequate for extremely dirty
applications or some forms of dust or vapors. It
is the customer’s responsibility to provide
adequate filtration for those conditions.

eventually have to be replaced. The input shaft seal on
QSD™ units is field serviceable. The internal carbon ring
seals on the individual stages are not field serviceable.
To replace the input shaft seal, a complete understanding
of the installation procedure and special tools are
required. Should you decide to replace the seal yourself,
ask your Quincy distributor for the complete illustrated
instructions (available as a Service Alert) at the time you
order the seal and special tools (see parts book for shaft
seal and tool kit part numbers). If your distributor does
not have a copy of these instructions, they can be ordered
from Quincy Compressor at no charge.
Preparation for New Seal Installation
1) Inspect the compressor shaft for burrs or deep
scratches at the wear sleeve area. Using a 100 grit
emery cloth, lightly sand horizontally any rust or
Loctite® that was between the wear sleeve and shaft.
Using a fine file or emery cloth, deburr the key area
of the rotor shaft. Cover the keyway with masking
tape to prevent any damage to the new seal during
installation.
Shaft seal replacement on QSD™ units requires the
removal of the drive motor to allow use of the wear
sleeve removal and installation tools:
1) Remove coupling guards and coupling halves.
2) Remove drive motor.
2) Clean the seal adapter with clean, fast drying solvent.
Place the outer face of the seal adapter on a flat, hard
surface. Remove the new triple-lip seal from the
package and inspect for damage or imperfections on
the seal lips.
3) Position the seal so the two lips that face the same
direction face the gear and the single lip faces the
drive motor.
4) With the lips of the seal facing the correct direction,
apply a thin coat of Loctite® 290 to the outer steel
case of the seal and position the seal in the seal
adapter bore. Insert the seal driver over the seal.
Insert the proper wear sleeve driver in the seal driver
and tap the new seal into the bore with a medium
sized hammer.
3) Remove the drive coupling hub and key from the
compressor shaft.
4) Remove the four bolts that secure the seal adapter to
the suction housing.
5) Insert two of the seal adapter retaining bolts into the
seal adapter jack holes and turn clockwise pushing
the seal adapter away from the gearcase housing.
6) Check the inboard face of the seal adapter to make
sure no shims are removed. Do not lose or damage
shims since they need to be reused. Disassemble
the seal adapter for inspection or service by taking
the following steps:
4) Preheat the seal wear sleeve to 350°Fin a small oven.
Do not preheat in warm oil. Apply a thin film of
Loctite® to the inner diameter of the wear sleeve and
immediately install on the compressor shaft using the
proper wear sleeve driver. Drive the wear sleeve on
the shaft until the driver bottoms on the shaft
shoulder.
!
CAUTION
After removing the seal adapter, do not allow the
outer face of the bearing to move. This will cause
the bull gear and shaft to fall in the gearbox,
damaging the gear and bearings.

Seal Installation
Airend Sealing System
1) Apply a thin coat of compressor fluid to the outer
face of the seal wear sleeve and seal lip.
The airends have a redundant shaft seal arrangement that
consists of three segments:
2) Cover the keyway in the compressor shaft with
masking tape so there is no chance of damage
occurring to the seal face during installation.
3) Apply Loctite® 515 or 518 to the gearbox seal
adapter mounting flange. Use a roller to apply a
uniform, thin coat on the flange. Remove any excess
Loctite® around the fluid feed hole.
4) Install the shims in the same order as removed.
Thickest shims should be facing the seal adapter.
Thinnest shims should be in the middle of the shim
stack.
5) Slide the proper seal installation sleeve against the
wear sleeve with the taper toward the end of the
input shaft. Lubricate the seal lips and installation
sleeve with compressor fluid. Carefully slide the
seal adapter with the new seal installed over the end
of the rotor shaft and up against the adapter bore.
6) Align the fluid feed hole with the slot on the seal
adapter and evenly draw the adapter into the bore,
install the four retaining bolts and tighten to the
specified torque. Remove the installation sleeve.
1) A primary set of seals on the dry side with a
pressurized buffing air flow.
2) A sinuous seal with an air dam.
3) An atmospheric fluid drain on the bearing side.
The sealing system incorporates a redundant seal system
to ensure no fluid enters the compressor chamber. The
seal consists of multiple, floating carbon ring seals and a
sinuous path to prevent bearing fluid from migrating into
the compression chamber. In addition to the physical
seals and a drain pocket, there is a positive flow of
buffing air introduced in the floating carbon rings to
create a pressure differential which sweeps fluid to the
drain pocket. The buffing air for stage one is supplied
from the interstage piping through a pressure regulator.
The pressure regulator is factory set at 4-5 PSI. The
pressure setting should be checked at every service
interval and adjusted if necessary. Outlet of the buffing
air is routed through collection filters. These filters
collect the fluid vapors normally present in the buffing
air drain. The filters should be drained occasionally.
Collection levels and frequency of draining will vary
depending on operating conditions. If a drastic change in
the collection levels occur without a change in operating
conditions, call the factory for service.
There is a smoke eliminator to remove and collect trace
amounts of fluid vapor and return them to the gearcase.
If the collection filter for the smoke eliminator requires
frequent draining, replace the smoke eliminator.
NOTE
Do not restrict the air flow from the vents located
at the outlet end of the package. Doing so may
cause fluid leaks.

Introduction to Power$ync II™
!
WARNING
The Back-up Mode is a separate control circuit using
pressure switches, snap disk temperature switches and a
PLC. The settings of the pressure switches should be
verified before operating in this mode. After
disconnecting power, PS1 should be set to open at the
unload pressure of the package and is the only adjustable
pressure switch. PS2 and PS3 are not adjustable and are
factory set to open at 23 psig. PS4 is not adjustable and is
factory set to close at 15 psig.
Always disconnect and follow lockout/tag-out
procedures before attempting any repair or
adjustment to any electrical component on this
compressor.
The Power$ync II™ control for the QSD model
compressors consists of a two-stage oil-free airend and an
associated computerized controller. Together, these
features have been designed to provide the best full-load
and unloaded efficiencies available in the compressor
industry. Besides providing outstanding single machine
efficiencies, this control includes multi-machine control.
With these settings verified, activate the Back-up Mode
as follows:
1) Disconnect power from the compressor.
2) Open the electrical enclosure door, and turn the
selector switch to Back-up Mode.
3) Close the electrical enclosure door and reconnect
power to the compressor.
4) Wait thirty seconds and press START.
This control uses four pressure transducers and four RTD
temperature probes for the computerized controller. The
pressure transducers are located in the control panel.
Each transducer is plumbed to its own specific location.
Pressure is measured at the discharge of stage one,
discharge of stage two, and the discharge of the package.
Package discharge is located on the customer side of the
package check valve. Fluid pressure is also measured.
Do not switch modes with power on the compressor!

control will be dark and the keypad will be inactive.
Pressures and temperatures may be read on the gauges
located at the package discharge connection.
extended periods (usually half an hour or more) during
which there is no system demand. A very small
continuous system demand can be handled with adequate
compressed air storage capacity and a reasonable
pressure deadband, allowing the power savings
associated with having the compressor turned off.
Single Machine Operational Modes
Auto Dual Time Delay
There are two modes of operation that can be used for
single machine installations, Continuous Run and Auto
Dual.
The factory setting for this delay is ten (10) minutes. The
purpose of the delay is to prevent the motor from starting
too many times within a given period. To maximize the
energy savings benefit of having the machine off instead
of just unloaded, this timer should be set low enough to
allow the machine to turn itself off during periods of no
demand.
Continuous Run
In Continuous Run Mode, the compressor uses an
adjustable pressure deadband to match compressor
output to system demand. As the pressure rises above the
full-load pressure setting, a signal is sent to unload the
airend, reducing the air delivery. Should the pressure rise
to a point indicating there is no system demand, the
control will unload the compressor and blow the piping
down to atmospheric pressure. It will continue to run in
this unloaded state until system pressure drop indicates
additional air demand.
If the compressor attempts to start too many times, a
safety timer will be activated which forces a 25-minute
cool-down period. The control will then reset and allow
the machine to shut down based on the adjustable timer
setting.
Multiple Machine Operational Mode
This control mode is best used for systems that have only
brief periods of time with no system demand. Systems
with little compressed air storage capacity will also run
better with a control scheme using a pressure deadband to
moderate changes in loading levels.
The control method used for multiple Power$ync II™
compressor installations is the Network Mode.
Connecting multiple machines to form a network,
scheduling machines and sequencing machines are
thoroughly covered in this section. In Network Mode, all
compressors share information about their capacity,
configuration and load setting.
Auto Dual Control
This method of control operates identically to the
Continuous Run Mode when responding to a system
demand. If there is no system demand, Auto Dual
control goes a step beyond Continuous Run to provide
additional power savings. In the Auto Dual Mode, the
control will start a shutdown timer when the compressor
unloads. The timer will count down a preset waiting
period. If there has been no drop in system pressure
during this waiting period, the control will turn the
compressor motor(s) off and will stand by, continuing to
monitor system pressure. When a demand returns to the
system, the controller will restart the compressor to
satisfy the air requirements.
Network Mode uses an adjustable pressure band for
controlling the compressor response to changes in system
demand. With the system at full load (all compressors
operating at their maximum output) an increase in system
pressure above the set pressure indicates a drop in
demand. The control will respond by unloading the trim
machine in the sequence.

Network Load Delay Time
The differential between the load pressure and the unload
pressure cannot be set to less than 5 PSIG. At the
maximum setting for both load and unload pressures, the
differential will be 15 PSIG. At the minimum load
In multiple machine network applications, control is
passed from machine to machine based on the
programmed sequence. In the sequence ‘ABCD’, the ‘A’ setting (75 PSIG) and the maximum unload setting (125
machine is the base machine and the ‘D’ machine starts
with the pointer. If the system demand for air drops, the
‘D’ machine will pass the pointer to the ‘C’ machine.
Further reductions in system demand may trigger the ‘C’
machine to pass the pointer to the ‘B’ machine. An
increase in demand would cause the pointer to be passed
back to ‘C’ and then back to ‘D’.
PSIG, for example), the differential can be great.
To determine the proper pressure and differential
settings, several factors must be considered. The first
consideration is the actual pressure required in the plant
air distribution system to maintain proper equipment
performance. For maximum energy efficiency, do not
maintain more pressure in the system than is required.
Almost all systems have some leaks. More air will pass
through a leak at a higher pressure than at a lower
When the demand is decreasing, the machine with the
pointer passes that control to the next machine in the
sequence when it has unloaded and the system pressure is pressure. Many pneumatic tools and devices are rated to
still trying to climb. After a machine has transferred the
pointer, it will completely unload, start its shutdown
timer and turn itself off.
operate at a particular pressure. Operating them at a
higher pressure increases the amount of air that they
consume. Increasing the pressure by ten percent will
increase the volume consumed by the system by a
proportional amount without an associated increase in
productivity. It is prudent, therefore, to maintain the
When the demand is increasing, the load delay time
setting allows the controller to wait the programmed
number of seconds before loading up, or starting the next lowest system pressure that provides efficient tool and
machine down the list due to a pressure drop of short
duration.
device performance.
The second consideration is the storage capability of the
distribution system. A distribution system with little or
no storage capacity will operate better with a wider
differential between load pressure and unload pressure.
Systems that have more compressed air storage capacity
(three gallons per cubic foot of compressor capacity or
better) can improve compressor energy consumption by
using a more narrow pressure differential. The benefit of
having adequate storage capacity is a more consistent
system pressure and smoother operation of equipment.
The differential should be initially set at 15 PSIG. If the
system pressure remains steady throughout a typical work
cycle, the differential can be reduced to as low as 5 PSIG.
If the system pressure fluctuates greatly at 15 PSIG,
indicating little system storage capacity, the differential
may need to be broadened.
Pressure Settings
NOTE
The following explanation applies to single
machine applications and to the base load
machine in multiple machine applications. Trim
machines, in multiple machine applications, will
be held to their assigned pressure bands.
The load pressure is the maximum pressure at which the
machine will operate at full capacity. As the demand for
air drops, the pressure will rise to the unload pressure. At
the unload pressure, all Power$ync II™ valves will open.
At this point, the compressor will not be compressing air.
The maximum load and unload pressures are determined
by the available motor horsepower and the pressure
ratings of various components in the compressor
package. The technical data sheets for the individual
compressor models show this maximum number.

within the system itself. A system that is subject to
rapid, cyclic air consumption may require a wider

NOTE
Cycling more frequently than six times a minute
may cause a high temperature condition that may
result in a shutdown.
1) On the first machine in the network, open the

control enclosure. Insert the end of the
communications cable and bring it to the far right,
lower corner of the enclosure. Make certain that
there are a few inches of extra length at this point.
3) Remove 1.5" of the outer insulating cover. Carefully
retract the braided wire shielding to expose the bare
ground wire and the foil cover for the two insulated
wires.
Network Installation
Power$ync II™ compressors need to be wired together to
form a network that will take advantage of the
sophisticated multiple machine control capability built
into the software. To do this, you will need the
following:
1) A three-wire cable (Quincy part number 141234-01,
-02 or -03 communications cable).
2) One cable terminator box (Quincy part number
140715).
4) Remove excess braided wire shielding, being careful
not to damage the ground wire.
3) Conduit is required for NEMA 4 applications and
strongly recommended for all other applications.
The maximum total cable length from the terminator box,
through each compressor in the network and to the last
compressor in line must be less than 600'.

5) Remove the foil cover to expose the two internal
wires and nylon filler. Trim off the nylon filler and
strip 3/8" to 1/2" of insulation off the wires.
12) Bring another cable into the control enclosure and
strip the wires as previously outlined. This second
cable will be run to the next compressor in the
network or, if this is the last compressor in a
network, it will be run to the terminator box.
13) After the two cables have been stripped to expose 3/
8" of bare wire, tightly twist the blue wire from each
cable together. Next, twist the white wires together.
Finally, twist the two bare wires together.
14) Install these wires into the wiring terminal of the
second compressor as outlined in steps six and
seven.
6) Locate the communications wiring terminal in the
lower right corner of the main circuit board (marked
J10). There are three small white levers on the
wiring terminal. Open the top lever, marked “1” on
the circuit board, by inserting a fingernail or small
screwdriver under the left edge and lifting. Lift the
lever until it is standing straight out. 1B boards have
a screw terminal connector.
15) Run the cable that is not attached to the first
compressor to the third compressor and repeat steps
11 through 14.
16) When the wiring is complete on
the last compressor in the
network, run the unattached end
to the terminator box and plug
the box into a 110 volt outlet.
Rocker Switch Settings
1A Boards - Immediately to the left of the lower right
mounting bolt (just below the network wiring terminal)
there is a four-segment rocker switch . The individual
rockers are numbered from left to right, 4, 3, 2, and 1.
These switches are in the ON position when the end of
the rocker closest to the numbers is pressed down. All
switches are set in the ON position at the factory.

1A BOARD
1B BOARD
7) Insert the bare end of the white wire in the opening
on the right side of the wiring terminal segment
marked “1”. Holding the wire in place, push the
number “1” lever back down to lock the wire into the
terminal.
The ON position is the correct position for all single
machine applications. It is also the correct position for
all machines installed at the end of a network. The end
machine in a network is the one with only one cable
attached to the wiring terminal. Machines with two
cables attached, both cables going to other machines or
one cable going to another machine and the other cable
going to the terminator box, are considered middle
machines.
8) Repeat steps six and seven with the bare ground wire
in the center, or number “2” terminal position.
9) Repeat steps six and seven with the blue wire in the
lower, or number “3” terminal position.
On all middle machines switch number 4 must be set to
the OFF position by rocking the switch so that the end
away from the numbers is pressed down.
10) Run the communications cable from the first
compressor to the second compressor in the network.
11) Bring the cable into the control enclosure and strip
the wires as previously outlined.

1B Boards - On 1B boards there is no dip switch to set.
Only the termination jumper at J13 needs to be set. This
should be in the ON position on the compressor at the
end furthest from the network terminator power supply.
This is the machine with only 1 cable entering. All other
boards should have this jumper in the OFF position.
There are nine positions available for machines in a
network (see Compressor Settings and Maintenance
Displays, pages 45-58). The unload and load pressure
settings function much the same way that the pressure
switch settings would in a purely mechanical, multi-
machine controller.
There are nine possible electronic pressure switches that
can be used to determine compressor load and unload
settings. When setting up a sequence, remember that the
first machine ID in the sequence will be assigned to the
number one pressure setting. The next machine ID to the
right will be assigned to the number two pressure setting.
A two machine example of this can be easily illustrated
as follows:
Network Voltage Tests on Power$ync II™ Systems
Voltage tests at J10 on the 140265-1QD board can be
used to do a rough test on network connections.
The top connection should be approximately 2.5-2.9 volts
when operation is normal. The lower connection should
be about 1.9 volts. The voltage generally drops on the
top connection if the terminator, the dip switch or the
jumper are incorrect.
1>115U 110L 2>113U 108L 3>000U 000L
4>000U 000L 5>000U 000L 6>000U 000L
7>000U 000L 8>000U 000L 9>000U 000L
UP/DOWN DEADBAND, F1 EDIT, ENTER RETURN
Always check the terminator power supply module to see
if there is power present in its location and that the
voltage output is present as listed on the nameplate.
The number one position pressure has been set to
unload at 115 PSIG and load at 110 PSIG. The
number two position has been set to unload at 113
PSIG and load at 108 PSIG. In the sequence ‘AB’,
the ‘A’ machine would run at the 110 to 115 PSIG
setting and the ‘B’ machine would run at the 108
to 113 PSIG setting. If the sequence were changed
to ‘BA’, the ‘B’ machine would run at the 110 to
115 PSIG setting and the ‘A’ machine would run
at the 108 to 113 PSIG setting. In order to rotate
machines through different pressure settings,
sequence changes must be programmed.
NOTE
The power outlet for this terminator should be
always powered, not tapped from the compressor
supply. This is to keep the network properly
terminated if one of the compressors is shut off
for service.
The primary cause of network faults other than
terminator settings, is the use of improper cable to
connect the compressors. The wrong cable may work for
short range connections, but will definitely not work over
longer runs.
!
WARNING
Network Setup
Do not set load pressures higher than the full load
pressure rating of the compressor. Do not set
unload pressures higher than the full load
pressure rating of the compressor when
compressors are set to run load/no load.
For applications that see very little demand change or
applications that have demand changes that correspond to
the full capacity of selected compressors, these
compressors may be networked together.

If the operating requirements were properly noted when
the machine was ordered, it will be completely ready to
run once installed. All settings have been adjusted at the
factory per the instructions on the order. If the operating
requirements have changed since the machine was
ordered, the control can be easily adjusted for new
parameters.
Under no circumstances, should any welding be
done on the compressor package. Welding can
damage the computerized controller.
Power-up Displays
NOTE
This section will identify minor fault conditions, major
fault condition that will prevent the compressor from
running in any mode of operation and major fault
conditions that will prevent the compressor from running
in the Power$ync II™ Mode, but will allow Back-up
Mode operation.
The voltage unbalance between phases should not
exceed ±5%. If this unbalance is not corrected,
the current draw may be excessive.
Once the wiring between the disconnect and the
compressor is complete, the discharge piping has been
connected to the air system and the water source for
water-cooled units is connected and turned on, close the
disconnect to provide power to the control. The power-
on indicator will light on the control panel and the
computer will run a short diagnostic program to confirm
that all software and hardware are functioning properly.
Should a software or hardware problem be identified, the
computer will display the nature of the problem. If the
problem is minor, the computer will allow the
compressor to operate after an operator confirms
knowledge of the problem. If the problem is major, the
computer will prevent the compressor from operating in
Power$ync II™ Mode until the problem has been
corrected. In most cases, even with a major fault in the
computer control system, the compressor can still be
operated in Back-up Mode until repairs can be made. A
complete description of these diagnostic message
displays can be found under the Power-up Displays
heading of this section.
When power is turned on to the unit, the computer will
run a short diagnostic program to confirm that the
machine is ready to operate. If the diagnostic check finds
a problem with the computer or sensors, a message will
be displayed describing the nature of the problem.
There are two categories of problems that can be
detected, those which would result in unsafe operating
conditions (the computer is programmed to prevent the
compressor from running if this type of problem is
detected) and those which should be corrected as soon as
possible, but will not result in an unsafe operating
condition. The computer is programmed to allow the
compressor to operate with minor problems that do not
affect the safe operation of the compressor after an
operator acknowledges the problem by pressing ENTER.
!
WARNING
The diagnostic program also checks the function of the
LCD display screen. If the controller cannot properly
communicate with the display, it will flash all the amber
warning lights to draw attention to this fact. If there is a
fault with the LCD display’s memory, then only the RED
LED’s will flash.
Always disconnect and follow lockout/tag-out
procedures before attempting any repair or
adjustment to any electrical component on this
compressor. Failure to do so could result in
serious injury or death.
After the diagnostic program has determined that all
systems are functional, the computer will display a
message prompting the operator to either press ENTER
to move into the menu section or press START to begin
compressor operation.

A FILTER NEEDS SERVICING
PLEASE REPLACE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
Quincy Compressors use a vacuum switch to
determine the restriction on the inlet air filter.
Should the Power$ync II™ computer fail to receive
a valid signal from this switch during the
diagnostic check, it will display the above message.
Since this will not result in unsafe operating
conditions, the computer will allow the compressor
to run after the acknowledgment by an operator.
To continue the diagnostic program and start the
machine, press ENTER. Because proper filtration
is important to the service life of the compressor,
correct the fault as soon as possible. If the element
has been recently changed and does not appear
to be clogged, a likely cause of these displays is a
loose connection at either the switch or the
controller.
When the differential pressure across the fluid filter
or the air filter exceeds the recommended limits,
the computer will light an LED indicator on the
compressor schematic and display the above
warning. The display will only stay on a brief
period of time, but the LED will remain on until
the indicated filter element hourmeter has been
reset, indicating that the element has been
changed. The computer will also log the event in
the SHUTDOWN LOG which records the time,
date and nature of the warning condition.
MINOR DIAGNOSTIC FAILURE

YOU MUST CORRECT PROBLEM
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
There are several areas that are checked during
start-up that will alert the Power$ync II™
controller of potential problems with the diagnostic
procedure. These potential problems will not
create an unsafe operating condition, but should
be corrected as soon as possible. Contact your
service representative and arrange a service call
to identify and correct the condition causing this
message to appear. Press ENTER to allow the
compressor to operate while service is being
arranged.
NOTICE
FLUID FILTER DELTA-P SWITCH FAULTY
REFER TO YOUR SERVICE MANUAL OR
CONTACT YOUR SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE
The condition of the fluid filter is monitored by a
differential pressure switch. This switch is
designed to alert the user when the differential
pressure across the filter element reaches a
pressure indicating that the element needs to be
changed. Should the Power$ync II™ computer fail
to receive a valid signal from this switch during
the diagnostic check, it will display the above
message. Since this will not result in unsafe
operating conditions, the computer will allow the
compressor to run after the acknowledgment by

Section VIII - Power$ync II™ Operation
Press F2 at the Compressor Diagnostic Menu to check the
operating status of the network:
should be zero, or very small. If the number is
increasing, there is a problem in the network.
The network controls the operation of machines
by comparing the average pressure reading to the
pressure band assigned to that compressor.
Individual machines have pressures different from
other compressors on the network. The
NETWORK AVERAGE PRESSURE display shows
the actual average pressure.

UP FOR NEXT MENU/DOWN FOR PREVIOUS MENU
The network diagnostic menus have been designed
to aid in troubleshooting network problems that
may occur. These menus can be accessed before
starting the compressors to ensure that good
communications have been established between
all compressors on the network. If a problem
should occur after the compressors are operating,
their operating mode can be changed to Auto Dual
(to operate independently and maintain system
pressure) and the network diagnostics will
continue to function as long as the machines are
wired together.
TALKING TO OTHERS will show YES or NO. This
can be used to determine whether or not a
communications problem exists between machines.
NO will occur when the signal requesting
information from compressors on the network is
lost or scrambled. This might happen occasionally
in noisy environments. The control has been
designed to recover from these occasional
problems. If only one compressor is powered up,
this indication has no meaning. When Network
Diagnostic Menu 1 is entered, a snapshot of the
current communications is taken to determine if
this value is YES or NO and it will not change the
value until you press ENTER to exit this menu.
The most likely cause of a communication problem
is a poor cable or poor cable connections. The
next most likely cause is an incorrect setting on
the number 4 rocker of the S1 switch on the lower
right corner of the main circuit board (1A versions,
1B versions have a jumper). The last possible
source of this problem is an incorrectly wired
terminator box, or a terminator that is not plugged
into a 115 volt outlet.

filter elements for replacement.
Cautionary and Shutdown Displays
The Power$ync II™ controller constantly monitors the
operating conditions of the compressor. It has the most
extensive monitoring and reporting capability of any
compressor control on the market. LED indicators on a
system schematic identify the location of the problem and
the four-line, forty-character display explains the nature
of the problem.
Conditions that would result in unsafe operation will
cause the Power$ync II™ controller to shutdown the
compressor or alert the operator to shut the unit down.
The following messages will be displayed when the
controller detects a problem that would result in an
unsafe operating condition:
If an inlet air filter element or a fluid filter element has
an excessive differential pressure, a light on the
schematic will indicate which element is in need of
service and a message will be briefly displayed that
describes the nature of the fault. The display will then
revert to the original operating display and the LED will
remain illuminated to draw attention to the condition. In
this instance, one of the following message will be
displayed:
**********CAUTION**********
COMPRESSOR HAS SHUT DOWN
EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON WAS PRESSED
NOTICE
If a condition exists at the compressor or in the
compressed air system that requires that the
compressor be stopped immediately, the red,
mushroom-shaped Emergency Stop button can be
pushed and the starter will immediately disengage.
The Emergency Stop button will remain depressed
until it is physically released. When the Power$ync
II™ controller detects that this button has been
pressed, it displays the message above to alert
others that the Emergency Stop button was
pressed. Do not attempt to restart the compressor
until it has been determined who pushed the button
and why. To clear the message, press ENTER. To
restart the compressor, reset the Emergency Stop
button and press the green Start button. Refer to

data. See Compressor Settings and Maintenance
Displays for instruction on this procedure. Time
and date will also have to be reset.
This condition will prevent the compressor from
operating. Attempt to correct the situation by
turning power off to the compressor and then
reapplying power. This will begin the diagnostic
program again. It may be possible to run the
compressor on the default setup values, if the
original setup data is not usable. Call your service
representative if this does not correct the problem.
Your service representative can determine whether
correct setup information can be reentered into
the controller or the memory board needs to be

The most common cause of a tripped overload is
low voltage. If the overload trips while the unit is
starting, it may indicate insufficient power
available to the facility or incorrectly sized wiring
to the compressor. Intermittent tripping may be
the result of low voltage caused by variations in
incoming power supplies or by other large
horsepower motors starting on the same power
supply. Intermittent voltage drops are difficult to
detect without a recording voltmeter or a Dranitz
meter. If it is determined that low voltage is not
the cause of the tripped overload, contact your
service representative.
REFER TO YOUR SERVICE MANUAL
Determine the reason that the starter is not
responding, correct the problem and repeat the
start-up procedure. As with other faults, loose
wiring should be the first item checked. If all
wiring to and from the controller is tight and wiring
to the starter is tight, a faulty starter may be the
problem. If the starter is engaged, check wiring
to the auxiliary contacts.

Section VIII - Power$ync II™ Operation
NOTICE!
A potentially serious condition could exist if the main
motor starter does not respond to the controller’s signal to
disengage. The cooling fan motor will not stop as long as
the main motor is running so that cooling can be
maintained in the event that the starter does not respond
to a signal to perform a normal shutdown. If the starter
does not respond to a signal to disengage in an
emergency, an unsafe condition may result. The
Power$ync II™ controller will flash all the LED safety
and warning lights to draw attention to this situation,
should it occur. It will also display one of the following
messages, depending on the unit configuration:

is not responding, correct the problem and repeat
the start-up procedure. As with other faults, loose
wiring should be the first item checked. If all
wiring to and from the relay board is tight and
wiring to the starter auxiliary contacts is tight, a
faulty starter may be the problem. Determine the
original cause for the shutdown. If the unit was
being stopped because there was no air demand,
it can be restarted after the starter problem is
corrected. If the unit was being stopped due to a
detected fault, correct the fault before continuing
operation. Do not attempt to run the compressor
in Back-up Mode until all faults have been
corrected.

There are two probable causes for these displays:
a disconnected wire or a failed sensor or
transducer. Disconnect the main power supply to
the compressor and check the connection at the
temperature probe and at the controller. If a loose
connection is found, correct the problem and
repeat the start-up procedure. If all connections
are tight, the problem is a failed sensor or
transducer. If a spare part is available, replace
and repeat the start-up process. If no spare part
is available, contact a service representative. The
compressor can be operated in Back-up Mode.
In addition to the sensor check at power-up, the
Power$ync II™ controller continually checks sensors for
faults. If the controller receives a signal that is outside its
expected range or fails to receive a signal, one of the
following messages will be displayed depending on the
sensor affected:

Section VIII - Power$ync II™ Operation
The Power$ync II™ controller also performs continuing
checks on itself while the compressor is in operation. If
it detects a fault, it will display one of the following two
messages:
Power$ync II™ is connected to and monitors the state of
the motor starter and overload. Should the controller
detect a fault condition or detect that a component is not
responding to commands, it will illuminate the
appropriate LED on the schematic and display one of the
following messages:
NOTICE!
COMPRESSOR HAS SHUT DOWN
**NOTICE** COMMUNICATION FAILURE

2 INLET TEMP ______
COMPRESSOR HAS SHUT DOWN
NOTICE! HIGH STAGE 2 INLET TEMP
TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION
The Power$ync II™ controller continually checks
its communication pathways between boards, even
when no pertinent information is being passed.
This is done to confirm that all communication
pathways are functioning and ready to accept and
process signals. If the controller fails to receive
the proper response to its attempt to confirm that
the communication pathways are functioning
properly, it will try two more times and then shut
the compressor down. Call your local service
representative to correct this problem. The
compressor can be operated in Back-up Mode.

High temperature shutdowns could be caused by
high ambient temperatures. Verify that the ambient
temperature is within the operating limits of the
compressor. A failed or broken vent fan could
also cause high temperatures. For water-cooled
units, the water temperature or flow might be
outside the operating limits of the compressor or
the cooler might need cleaning. For air-cooled
units, the air flow might be blocked, the fan or fan
motor may have failed, the thermal mixing valve
may have failed or the cooler may need cleaning.
High Stage 2 discharge temperature can be caused
by a high delta-pressure across stage 2. This could
be caused by a blowdown valve failure.
PKG. DISCH TEMP_______
COMPRESSOR HAS SHUT DOWN
**NOTICE** HIGH DISCHARGE TEMPERATURE
TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION
This display indicates that the controller has
detected a high temperature condition at the
temperature probe installed in the discharge line
from the package to the plant air. This could be
the result of a mechanical failure or it could be
the result of low coolant flow. This is a serious
condition. Do not attempt to restart the
compressor until the cause of the shutdown has
been determined and corrected. The compressor
will not restart as long as the high temperature
condition exists. Call your service representative
if you cannot determine and correct the cause of
the shutdown.

COMPRESSOR NOT IN SCHEDULED SEQUENCE
NOTICE!
When compressors are running in Network Mode,
individual compressors can be scheduled out. If
a particular compressor ID is left out of a sequence
for a particular schedule, the network will consider
that compressor out of service. This feature can
be used to ensure that only certain machines run
at certain times of the day. A network of three
machines, ABC for example, can schedule a
sequence, BC for example, that leaves one of the
machines completely out. Machines that are not
in the scheduled sequence will not be turned on
during that schedule, regardless of system demand.
If there is a possibility that the system demand
might require all machines, do not leave any
machines out of any sequences.
THE STAGE 2 BLOWDOWN MUFFLER MAY BE

These two messages are warning indicators that
the blowdown passages may be blocked or
degrading. These will trip if the pressure during
blowdown fails to reach 5 psig during an unloaded
condition. This is an important message to see;
the LED indicator for STAGE 2 DISCHARGE
PRESSURE or HIGH INTERSTAGE PRESSURE
will blink when this condition is detected. If this is
allowed to continue, degradation of the
compressor is likely.

Shutdown Log Messages
This indicates that a high temperature condition
was detected. The temperature probe at the input
to STAGE 2 detected temperature above the set
trip point. The cause of the high temperature
condition MUST be determined and corrected
before the compressor is restarted.
The shutdown log allows the operator to view service and
shutdown alarms in the reverse order of occurrence. The
log gives a plain English message that will identify the
source of the alarm. These messages include:
EMERGENCY STOP PRESSED
This message will appear when the red, mushroom-
shaped emergency stop button has been pressed.
The nature of the emergency should be determined
and corrected before attempting to restart the
compressor. The emergency stop button will lock
in when pressed and must be turned to release.
Once the button is released, the compressor can
be restarted by pressing the green start button.
STAGE 1 DISCHARGE HAT SHUTDOWN
This indicates that a high temperature condition
was detected. The temperature probe at the output
of STAGE 1 detected temperature above the set
trip point. A high air temperature condition was

high temperature condition MUST be determined
and corrected before the compressor is restarted.
NOTE
The HAT snapdisk probes or the coolant flow
switch will give the same error mesage.
STAGE 2 DISCHARGE HP SHUTDOWN
This message will be displayed should the pressure
at the discharge of STAGE 2 exceed a trip point.
In addition to the HP shutdown, a safety relief
valve will vent tubing pressure before internal
pressure levels approach maximum safe operating
pressure of the system components.
DISCHARGE HAT SHUTDOWN
This indicates that a high temperature condition
was detected. There are temperature probes in
the package discharge. A high air temperature
condition was detected above the set trip point.

MOTOR OVERLOAD
WYE AUX CONTACT CLOSED
The control monitors the status of the main motor
and fan motor overloads. Should one of the
overloads detect an amp draw that is too high, it
will shut the compressor down and the control will
log the event.
This message is logged in Y-D starter
configurations, when the controller sees an input
from the auxiliary contacts when they should be
open.
CONTACTOR FAILURE
CONTACTOR WELDED
This message will be logged if the control sends a
start signal to the main and/or fan motor starter
and fails to receive confirmation that the contactor
engaged.
The control monitors the status of the motor
starters during compressor operation. If the
control sends a signal to the starter to disengage
and it does not receive confirmation of this, is will
trip an alarm and log this message. This may
indicate a failed contactor or it may indicate a
fault in the wiring to the auxiliary contacts.
COMM TO RELAY BD FAILS
This indicates that communication between the
microprocessor board and the relay board has
been interrupted.
WYE CONTACTOR NOT CLOSED
This message will be logged if the control sends a
start signal to the Y-D contactor motor starter and
fails to receive confirmation that the contactor
engaged.
PKG DISCHARGE RTD FAILURE

sensor located in the piping exiting the first stage
airend. The control will log this message if it fails
to receive a valid signal from this sensor.
STG 1 DISCHARGE RTD FAILURE
FLUID TRANSDUCER FAILURE
The stage one discharge RTD is the temperature
probe in the discharge tubing of the first stage
airend. The control will log this message if it fails
to receive a valid signal from this probe.
The fluid transducer is the pressure sensor located
in fluid line feeding the airend bearings. The
control will log this message if it fails to receive a
valid signal from this sensor.
PKG TRANSDUCER FAILURE
AIR FILTER CLOGGED
The line transducer is the pressure sensor located
downstream of the aftercooler. The control will
log this message if it fails to receive a valid signal
from this sensor.
There is a vacuum switch downstream of the air
filter element that is used to determine the
differential pressure across the filter element. A
high differential pressure indicates a dirty filter
element. If this condition is detected, the control
will log the event. This will not shut down the
compressor, but it can be useful in troubleshooting.

FLUID FILTER CLOGGED
FLASH CHECKSUM ERROR
The control monitors the fluid filter element
condition by reading the differential pressure
across the element. Should a high differential be
detected, this message will be logged. This will
not shut down the compressor.
This message will be posted it the periodic check
of the flash memory sees a change from the stored
value. There is a possibility that the main program
may have an error internally.
STAGE _ MUFFLER PLUGGED
FLUID PRESSURETOO LOW
The control will log this warning message when it
detects that the unloaded pressure in the discharge
of stage one or stage two is above 5 psig. This
generally indicates that there may be a problem
with the blowdown mufflers, creating high back
pressure.
The control will log shutdowns that occurred
because of fluid pressure dropping below 10 psi.,
or the set trip point (typically 15 psi).
STG 1 PRESSURETOO HIGH
This message will be logged if the control sees that
the interstage pressure has risen above the trip
point.
EMPTY OR NOT USED
The control log has no entries at that point.
STG 2 PRESS DIFF HIGH
INVALID CODE OR UNKNOWN
The control will log shutdowns that occurred
because of a high differential pressure across the
stage two airend. This can occur if the interstage
pressure is low (10 psi or less) and the discharge
of Stage two is normal (80 psi or more). Under
these circumstances, high temperatures may be
produced in the airend.
This indication means that the controller has found
an entry in the log that does not match any
available in it’s table. This may occur after a
software upgrade, or if U19 has faulty entries.
