INSTALLATION
1. Location:
Install the compressor in a covered, well ventilated area, free from dust gases, toxic gases, humidity or any other
sources of contamination. The presence of contaminants in the air (dust, fibers, etc.) may cause premature
obstruction to the air filter and the air/oil after-cooler (please see chapter on Preventive Maintenance, pages 30 and
32, items 2.1.3 and 4). Chemical gases may pass through the air inlet filter and contaminate the oil, causing
lubricating problems and diminished air quality. For installation in highly contaminated areas, a heavy duty remote air
inlet filter kit can be purchased and installed. (Consult your SCHULZ Authorized-Technical/Distributor for price and
0 0
availability). The maximum recommended working ambient temperature is 40 C (104 F). Should temperature be
higher, exhaust fans or must be provided in order to bring ambient temperature to its required level. The lower the
temperature, the better the compressor's working conditions. The installation of a hot air duct from the compressor's
cooling air outlet may be installed. Care should be taken to insure that NO AIR FLOW RESTRICTION is created.
Connection to the compressor cabinet must also be accomplished in such a manner as to insure the ease of
maintenance. (Consult your SCHULZ Authorized-Technical/Distributor for assistance and recommendations).
ATTENTION Do not install the compressor in chemically hazardous areas.
2. Position
Place compressor a minimum distance as Figure 2, page 4 from any wall or obstacle to facilitate adequate air flow and
ease of maintenance.
3. Mounting
Remove compressor from pallet and crating and place it on a level concrete floor. It is not necessary to install anti-
vibration devices or to anchor the frame to the floor.
4. Electrical Connection
To change the compressor voltage: call to the authorized technical assistance or the nearest Schulz dealer.
IMPORTANT The voltage changing need to be realized by qualified people.
Before connecting electrical power supply it is recommended that internal electrical connections be checked for
security following shipping. Consult a licensed electrician to evaluate power supply and install appropriate electrical
connections for your air compressor.
Your compressor must be installed in accordance with federal state and local electrical codes.
Wiring must be sized appropriately to accommodate in-rush current and distance to power supply (See Table 3, page
20).
A fused disconnect (with timed delay fuses)should be installed near the compressor (see Table 2).
Always check if the transformer's capacity can stand the compressor's power. If a separate
ATTENTION transformer is not available, check whether the energy supply and main circuit breakers
can stand a voltage load increase.
The electrical power supply should not have a voltage variation greater than ± 10%.
The voltage drop caused by the motor's start up should not exceed 10%.
The frame of the compressor should be grounded appropriately.
Terminal block power supply: supplies compressor according to nominal voltage indicated in the start switch
cabinet.
The motor starter configuration includes a thermal overload relay for the protection of the compressor and fan motors.
Figures 7 to 18, pages 8 to 19, shows the power and command electric circuit and the control panel layout for all
compressors models. On page 20 there are some guidelines and diagrams A and B for the capacitors installation
Control voltage for all models is 24Vac.

INSTALLATION OF CAPACITORS
Power Factor Correction
A rational and economic way to obtain the necessary reactive energy for your compressor's proper operation is the
installation of capacitors next to it.
The capacitors installation, however, must be preceded by operational measures that reduce the reactive energy
necessity, as the switching off of motors or other idle inductive loads.
The advantage of the power factor correction is a meaningful voltage improvement.
CARES DURING INSTALLATION OF CAPACITORS
Installation location:
- Avoid sun exposure or installation near high temperature equipment;
- Do not block cabinets' air inlet and outlet;
- Locations must be protected against suspended solid and liquid materials (dust, oil, etc);
- Avoid capacitor installations next to the ceiling (heat);
- Avoid capacitor installations next to non linear loads.
PROTECTION AGAINST SHORT CIRCUITS
Fuses: Design fuses according to equation: In x 1.65
NOTE: "In" capacitor's plate datum
Use the commercial value of immediately superior retarded type fuse.
Conductors: Use conductors over-designed in 1.43 times the capacitor's nominal current and take into
consideration other criteria such as: the way to install, ambient temperature, etc.
NOTE: The installation of capacitors to correct the power factor shall be made by a certified professional.
See in the Diagrams A and B bellow, the proper way to connect the capacitors during the installation of your
compressor.

INSTALLATION
5. Air distribution
A ball valve is supplied with the compressor for connection to the air distribution network. To maximize air delivery
to point(s) of use, air distribution piping diameter should be no smaller than the air outlet diameter.
Do not use air line filters or regulators whose ports are smaller than the air piping diameter. In smaller systems it is
recommended that an air receiver (condensed separator) be installed. It should have a minimum storage
th
capacity that is equal to or greater than 1/5 of the capacity (in gallons/liters per minutes) of the compressor.
Installing an air receiver in this manner will significantly reduce the interval of the demand fluctuations within the
control system of the compressor.
If SRP 3,000 series compressors are properly sized for a facility, the installation of a receiver is not necessary.
However, a good compressed air network design always includes the installation of a receiver in order to cushion
control fluctuations caused by erratic air consumption, gather condensed water and to maintain an adequate air
supply during consumption peaks.
We recommend that the installation, at the compressor's outlet, include an auxiliary air outlet with a hose and
nozzle to clean the cooler and other tasks which may require the use of local compressed air.
For more information and guidance in the design of your air distribution system, please consult your SCHULZ
Authorized - Technical/Distributor.
IMPORTANT
To maintain compressed air quality, do not locate condensed separator, filters or refrigerated dryers in vicinity of
cooling air exhaust stream (See Figure 21 ).

ROTARY SCREW COMPRESSOR SRP 3015 - SRP 3020 - SRP 3030 - SRP 3050
WORKING PRINCIPLES
2. Air Flow (Figure 23, page 23)
When the motor is started, power is transmitted to the air end by pulleys and belts.
The rotation of the screws creates a vacuum and the air production cycle begins when suction occurs.
The [atmospheric] air flows through filter (item 1) and enters in the air end (item 3) [radially] through the holes
located in the inlet control valve (item 2). Air compression [axial] is accomplished as air is forced between the
lobes of the screws (rotors) and the air end housing. Air is then forced through the discharge port.
FIGURE 24 - AIR END WORKING
During this start sequence, the air end is lubricated by residual oil. (See oil flow description).
Air suction through the partially opened inlet control valve does not require the full power of the motor. Initial air
compression at start-up (minimal pressure) and the minimum pressure valve facilitate the rapid pressurization of
the air/oil receiver (item 4) causing, by positive pressure, the flow of lubricant (item 5) into the air end.
At the discharge of the unit, the compressed air, mixed with lubricant oil, is introduced tangentially and at high
velocity into the receiver. Here, the centrifugal force separates the [denser] oil from the air. Due to its density, the
oil settles to the bottom of the receiver.
The compressed air and residual oil then passes through the separator element (item 6). Due to the selectively
restrictive nature of the filtering media the air flows freely through the element and the oil loses its velocity and falls
to the bottom of the air-oil separator (item 7).
In a few seconds the internal pressure of the receiver rises to 1.7 to 3.4 bar (25 to 50 psig), the motor is operating
at its' nominal rotation and the air can be introduced and compressed at full capacity with the inlet control valve
(item 2) completely open. For compressors with starting method star-delta, it is at this point that the star-delta
starting system introduces full voltage to the electric motor.
With the inlet control valve totally open and the air being compressed at full capacity, the pressure in the receiver
rises rapidly and overcomes the spring tension which maintains closure of the minimum pressure valve (item 8)
and the air passes through the after-cooler (item 12) and into the compressed air network.
The minimum pressure valve has the following functions:
A. Operates as a check valve, preventing network air from re-entering to the air-oil receiver of the compressor
when it is off or modulated;
B. Maintains minimum pressure of about 3.4 bar (50 psig) to ensure adequate lubrication;
C. Maintains minimum pressure to prevent inappropriate oil consumption rate.
3. Oil Flow (Figure 23, page 23)
There is a residual quantity of oil present in the air end. This residual oil provides lubrication for the first few
seconds. Once the compressor starts and pressure of around 2.0 bar (30 psig) is achieved in the air-oil receiver,
the positive pressure (item 4) forces oil into the air end thereby insuring lubrication.
During the first few minutes of operation the oil will not be heated to its ideal working temperature (80 to 900C or
176 to 1940F). In order to rapidly achieve the desired temperature, the oil circuit has a thermostatic valve (item 10)
with two circulation routes.
0 0
Below 80 C or 176 F, the oil flows into the compressing unit through an oil by-pass (item 11). The thermostatic
valve (item 10) prevents oil flow through the oil cooler.
The oil warms up quickly from the heat of compression and very quickly reaches the ideal operating temperature.
24
WORKING PRINCIPLES
At 800C or 1760F the thermal element expands, displacing the piston inside the valve that progressively closes the
oil by-pass (item 11) and allows oil flow through the oil cooler (item 12).
In addition to rapid warming of the oil, the thermostatic valve prevents oil cooling to temperatures below 800C or
1760F. By regulating oil flow through the cooler and the by-pass, the valve ensures that all the oil injected into the
air end is at the ideal working temperature. This reduces the condensation of water vapor in the separator and
receiver which maintains the quality of the oil and reduces air system contamination.
The oil from the two circulation routes (cooler and by-pass) mixes and is filtered (item 13) before being injected
into the compressing unit.
The oil deposited at the bottom of the separator element is continuously evacuated back to the inlet side of the air
end.

FIGURE 28 - CONTROL SYSTEM
The compressor operates with a double control as follows:
COMPRESSOR CONTROL AT FULL LOAD
1. When the pressure rises attaining the adjusted value in the pressure switch P1, it de-energizes the solenoid valve
of the by-pass VS1 closing the control way which maintained the intake valve 1 totally open.
COMPRESSOR CONTROL AT THE PARTIAL LOAD
1. In this control phase, the intake valve will be closed, stopping the full flow of air in the suction, but the air continues
to be taken in by the holes "A" called by-pass. As the passage section of these holes is small, it reduces the volume
of air taken in, and consequently the power due to reduction of the flow of mass to be compressed. The compressor
starts to deliver to the air network approximately 50% of its total suction capacity.
2. With the reduction of the air taken in, the power of the motor required to maintain the system is also reduced, and
so it is possible to increase the final work pressure in this control phase.
3. The exit of the compressor from this control system, and the return to operation at full load, only occurs if the
consumption is greater than the production of the compressor (50% of the total), because it causes the pressure in
the system to drop and the return of the compressor to its previous working status, i.e. at full load.
4. Operating at full load, if the air consumption is lower than the production of the compressor, the pressure will
slowly rise (above the pressure indicated in barg/psig in Table 1 Technical Data, page 3) and then the
compressor will start to operate in the partial load system. If there is no air consumption, it will operate in the
unloaded system.
COMPRESSOR CONTROL UNLOADED
1. Even taking in air via the by-pass the pressure in the system may increase up to the adjusted value in the pressure
switch P2, where it will de-energize the solenoid valve VS2 closing it, which in turn will drain the air which maintained
the relief valve 2 closed, allowing the release of compressed air.
2. With the relief valve open, it will start the depressurization of the receiver 3 up to the volume taken in by the by-
pass holes entering into balance with the volume of air drained by the relief valve, equaling the pressure in the
receiver between 2.1 and 4.1 barg (30 and 60 psig) necessary to ensure lubrication in the system, reducing the
power required.
3. In this control phase the compressor will not produce air for the network. If there is consumption at this moment,
the pressure may be reduced in the system, causing the solenoid valve VS2 is energized by the pressure switch P2
and returning the compressor to partial load.
4. If there is a pressure drop because of an increase in consumption, the solenoid valve of the by-pass VS1 will be
energized by the pressure switch P1, returning the compressor to full load.
26
CONTROL MODE
The compressor runs at full load and it starts to unload as soon as the maximum work pressure is reached.
The time it remains unloaded is adjusted through "KT1" minute timer, located in the electric panel, according to the
air network's behavior.
The motor can have up to 10 starts per hour, but it is not economically viable.
We recommend that the timer's minimum adjusting time should be of 6 minutes.
If during this time there is no consumption that causes pressure to drop from 1.03 to 1.4 bar (15 to 20 psig), the
compressor will switch off. It will return as soon as this pressure drop occurs. If the above mentioned pressure drop
occurs, the compressor starts operating at full load. The "KT1" minute timer's adjustment is at the customer's
choice, depending on the air network behavior.
When the off button 3* (red) is pressed, the compressor starts to unload, after the time adjusted in "KT3" timer. The
motor's switching off will occur right after.
For safety reasons, your compressor is supplied with emergency button 8* that, when pressed, will switch off the
equipment immediately. To re-start the compressor, turn the button (see orientation arrow on it) to release it and,
right after, press the on button 3* (green).
* See Figures 25 to 27, page 25.
TECHNICAL DELIVERY
After all the compressor is installed and connected as per the customers requirements, the compressor must be
started in the presence of a representative of the nearest SCHULZ Authorized-Technical/Distributor. This technician
will validate the Warranty as required by SCHULZ and will guide the customer on starting procedures, and provide
owner/operator training in the compressor's operation and preventive maintenance. The compressor's warranty will
be validated and the warranty period initiated only a) upon production of the Technical Delivery report provided by
SCHULZ Authorized-Technical/Distributor during the first start procedure - one copy of which will remain with the
customer and b) the filling in of the Technical Delivery Log (page 41) which will be sent to the factory by the
technician. Instructions contained in item "A" of the Warranty Terms (page 43), under General Warranty Conditions,
must be followed.
START PROCEDURE
SRP 3,000 series compressors are tested in the factory and supplied with SCHULZ
LUBE SH 46.
Before the compressor’s initial start, check the belt’s strain (Figure 30, page
29), re-fasten the connections of the hydraulic circuit hoses and of the electric
! contacts, then, turn on the air dryer 5 minutes before starting the compressor X
(when installed).
First start procedure:
A. Open the cabinet's left side door (facing the panel) and check the oil level;
the oil level sight (item 21, pages 5 and 6) must be covered;
B. If the ambient temperature is different from specifications, change to screw
compressor lubricant oil consult your SCHULZ Autorized-Technical/
Distributor.
C. Indicator light (item 4, page 25) of the instrument panel must be on showing FIGURE 29
that the controls are energized;
D. Close the air outlet valve;
E. Check Rotation by quickly pressing the Start Key (green) to switch on the compressor and immediately
pressing the emergency stop (red) button, switching the compressor off and observing the direction of rotation. It
must be in the direction indicated by the arrow located in the air end casting or the belt guard. The rotation of the
cooling fan must be checked as well. The correct air flow is toward the cooler.
Notes: If the rotation is incorrect, disconnect input power from the compressor and interchange two of three
main cables on terminal board installed in the control box. Repeat procedure E.
F. After making sure that the rotation direction is correct, close the side door and press the Start Key (green) to run
the compressor again, keeping the valve closed until the compressor reaches its maximum pressure and starts
to unload. Slowly open the valve and your rotary screw air compressor is now ready to supply compressed air to
the network.
Note: The air dryer should already be turned on. 27

START PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT
1- The compressor should never run with its doors open for more than three (3) minutes.
2- In the first start, the motor must not work for more than three seconds (3) with the inverted rotation. Item
“E” is accomplished quickly and will be easily observed. In case of problems during the start-up, consult
the Troubleshooting Tips Chapter, page 35.
3- In emergencies, press the emergency button 8 (page 25) that will switch off the compressor.
4- The emergency button must only be used when the compressor needs to be stopped immediately. Its use
under normal conditions will cause failure in the equipment. This is not covered by the warranty.
5- In normal operations, use the Stop Key (red) on the instrument panel, where a timed unload will occur
before the compressor stops.
6- Under no circumstances allow the compressor to function without the short circuit protection.
STOP PROCEDURE
A. Close the air outlet valve;
B. To switch off (manual stop), press the stop key/button (red) located in the instrument panel, when the timed
unload will occur before the compressor’s full stop.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
1. DAILY
1.1 Check oil leaks.
1.2 Check unusual noise or vibration.
1.3 Monitor gage and indicators for normal operation.
1.4 For receiver mounted compressor, check the functioning of the electronic drain. If it does not work, use the
stopcock located in the lower part of the air receiver.
2. WEEKLY
2.1 WITH THE COMPRESSOR TURNED OFF:
2.1.1 Verify the oil level:
2.1.1.1 Wait for at least 5 minutes after turning off the compressor so that the oil which there is in the circuit returns to
the receiver
2.1.1.2 If the oil level sight is completely or partially filled up, the level is suitable. Otherwise, proceed as
follows:
2.1.1.2.1 Ensure that there is no pressure in the air/oil receiver, slowly opening the filling plug 20, pages 5 and 6;
2.1.1.2.2 Top up the level, filling all the oil level sight.
Note: do not exceed this limit, or oil may be taken into the network;
2.1.1.2.3 Install and tighten the plug. It is not necessary to tighten it a lot, as the plug is self-sealing.
IMPORTANT
- If working temperature is consistently over 194°F (90°C), reduce oil change interval to 50% of the recommended.
2.1.2 Verify the tension of the belts and, if required, adjust them according to the instructions:
A) For compressor with automatic belt tension device (Figure 30, page 29):
- Remove the belt guard;
- Loosen the lock-nut 1;
- Turn the adjustment nut 2 to increase or reduce the tension of the belts according to the table of the Figure 30, page
29;
- Lock the position of the nut 2 tightening the lock-nut 1. This procedure should be executed with the aid of 2 (two)
wrenches;
- Assemble the belt guard.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT
- When the tension of the belts(s) is incorrect, they will overheat and slip. A squealing sound may be noticed.
- Another way to check the belt tension is to monitor the air end's rpm and observing its variation.
- The belts must be replaced when they show signs of wear or when there is difference in belt tension (see table
Figure 30, page 29).
- Do not remove the safety nut and lock-nut 3.
2.1.3. Check the air filter restriction: If indicator (item 2, Figure 33, page 31) is red, or if it has been used for 1,000
hours (whichever occurs first) change air inlet filter (item 1, Figure 33, page 31)and unlock the differential pressure
indicator (unlocking instructions are given on its body).
2.1.4. Drain the condensed (water) from the air/oil receiver weekly, or daily, according to the ambient relative
humidity, as follows:
- Switch off the compressor and wait for one hour until the condensed water is deposited on the receiver’s bottom;
- Connect a hose to the drain valve (item 4, Figures 31 and 32), open it and collect the condensed water in a
container;
- Close the valve as soon as the oil starts to flow from the receiver.
2.2 WITH THE COMPRESSOR ON:
2.2.1 Check operating temperature. It should be between 80 and 900C or 176 and 1940F.
Note:
- Above 1050C or 2210F, the thermostat will shut off the compressor due to the overheating.
- If working temperature is consistently over 194°F (90°C), reduce oil change interval to 50% of the
recommended.
2.2.2 Check the differential pressure of the air/oil separator element. When the differential pressure gauge (item
1, Figures 25 to 27, page 25) reaches 14 psig, change separator element (item 1, Figures 31 and 32).

3.1 OIL AND OIL FILTER
- If the compressor uses mineral oil, change the compressor oil and oil filter every 1,000 hours.
- If the compressor uses synthetic or non-toxic synthetic oil change the compressor oil every 8,000 hours. The
oil filter change must occur at every 2,000 hours.
IMPORTANT
- If working temperature is consistently over 194°F (90°C), reduce oil change interval to 50% of the
recommended.
- The first oil filter change must be carried out with 300 operating hours.
- See Table 5, item 8, page 34, compressor operational condition.
- Changing oil types is not highly recommended, as chemical incompatibilities can cause damage to the
machine.
- We recommend the SCHULZ LUBE SH 46 oil. Consult your SCHULZ Authorized-Technical/Distributor for
additional information.

5.1.2 For external element, assemble the element on the 2
adaptor and turn it until there is a slight tightening. Then
give a half-turn to tighten it a little more.
Note: Do not tighten the element too much, as it will make it
difficult to be disassembled.
5.1.3 For internal element, change the air/oil separator
element* (item 1, Figure 32, page 30) as following:
Dispose of the used separator element according to
FIGURE 36
current local norms. Allow the compressor to cool
down before starting the maintenance job.

2- Remove the screws 2 that fasten the cover, but keep one of
them fastened.
3- Turn the cover as shown by Figure 37.
4- Remove the separator element 6 located inside the receiver,
Figure 38, page 33.
FIGURE 37
Installation
1- Clean the insulation surfaces of the receiver and of the cover
and replace the gaskets.
2- Clean the receiver, if necessary.
3- Install the new separator element 6, making sure it is well 6
coupled. Warning: Take care for do not contaminate the
element. Handle the element only metallic parts (top or botton).
4- Assemble the receiver’s cover taking care for that the upper
gasket is properly coupled.
5- Alternately in diagonal, tighten the bolts 2 to level strain using
and calibrated torquimeter, like recomendation on the adhesive
located on receiver.
6- Reconnect the hose and install the oil return pipe. FIGURE 38
* It's important to check the sealing gasket of the separator element for a grounding clip (staple)or clamp.
If there is no grounding clip the element must be exchanged for an element that has a grounding clip installed.
32
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT
When installing this element, electrical continuity must be established and maintained between the element itself
and the separator receiver. Failure to maintain continuity can result in the build-up of static electricity in the
compressor. The spark resulting from the discharge of this static electricity can ignite the air/oil mixture within the
compressor resulting in severe damage to equipment and injury or loss of life!
6. ANNUALLY
If required by state or local codes, a technically certified organization must calibrate the safety valve, pressure
switch and the pressure gauge(s). If this is not possible, replacement of certified items with new (recently
certified) items is an alternative.
7. AIR END
Experience has shown that it is extremely difficult to estimate the life expectancy of an air end.
Routine maintenance of the compressor has been proven to maintain the life expectancy of the roller bearings.
Any noticeable change in the air end's noise level should be carefully investigated as it may indicate the need for
maintenance.
If preventive maintenance procedures are closely followed, bearings will have a life expectancy of 20,000 hours.
It is strongly recommended that roller bearings be changed, before they are damaged, because the failure
can compromise the rotors and the case.
8. SERVICE LOG
Any maintenance to your equipment always fill in the Service Log on page 39.
Notes:
Do not clean and reuse filter elements if the number of accumulated operating hours exceeds the prescribed
maintenance interval (as indicated in this Manual.)
Routine maintenance can be performed by the end user, but any additional maintenance should be carried out
by a representative of the nearest SCHULZ Authorized-Technical/Distributor.
Operating conditions and demands on the machine may dictate a modification of the maintenance intercal(s).
Maintenance intervals must be reduced to 50% in high demand situations or contaminated environments.
Consult with your SCHULZ Authorized-Technical/Distributor for additional information as failure to follow these
recommendations may cause damage to the compressor and void the Warranty.

(6) Change the filter if indicator (Figure 33, page 31) shows some restriction.
(7) The useful life of the separator element is at least 3,000 run hours, provided that all the requirements below are
satisfied:
- installation conditions according to items 1 and 2 of the Installation chapter page 7;
- preventive maintenance executed correctly (according to the relevant chapter);
- machine operation system (load/relief cycle) not frequent.
The deadline for replacing the separator element should always be evaluated by the Technical Assistance which
attends to your screw compressor, (recommendations also valid for factory supply of both mineral and synthetic
oil).
(8) Operational conditions such as, ambient temperature, air/oil radiator obstruction for contamination, air renewal
of the house of machine, cleanness of air, oil and separator element filters, can promote air end discharge
temperature in levels that modify the useful life of the oil.
When the air end discharge temperature be over 194°F(90°C), the period of oil change must be modified to 4000
hours.
MAINTENANCE PARTS
In order to maintain your warranty and maximize serviceability, your Schulz compressor needs routine
maintenance (as outlined in the Preventive Maintenance chapter).

TABLE 6
DISPOSAL OF MAINTENANCE PARTS/MATERIALS
When the maintenance is completed, the used compressor oil, used oil filter and the used oil separator element
must be disposed of in accordance with local state and federal guidelines.
See instructions chapter in environmental guidance and recommendation, page 44.
OIL CONSUMPTION
Oil consumption may be increased due to any of the following conditions:
1. High temperature of operation. If temperature is consistently over 90ºC or 194ºF, reduce the normal oil change
interval to 50% of recommended life expectancy;
2. If air/oil separator elements are clogged;
3. If there is varnish formation: it affects cooling and oil separation. Varnish formation (oil oxidation) can be seen, in
metal levels, as a brown varnish/lacquer layer.
Note: We suggest not to change the oil type because there might be contamination caused by chemical
incompatibility, decreasing the oil's lifetime and causing lubrication problems.
CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE
In order to guarantee the product's SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjustments
! must be carried out with original parts by your nearest SCHULZ Authorized-Technical/Distributor.
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

REMARKS
If there is a pressure drop or a low pressure condition in the air network, monitor the compressor operation
for the following:
- Before assuming a compressor malfunction, slowly close the discharge valve until closed and observe
the length of time required to pressurize the compressor and monitor the motor's electrical
consumption.
- If the compressor pressurizes normally, and the pressure shown on the display of the compressor's
- Electronic Interface is high and yet the system in the facility remains low when the valve is opened, there
is a in all likelihood a blockage in the system. (i.e. a freezing problem with the refrigerated dryer of a
clogged filter) significant air loss in the air network.
- If the pressure in the compressor drops immediately with the opening of the valve and the compressor
cannot maintain pressure then there is either a significant air loss in the network (i.e. stuck solenoid
valve in regenerative dryer or faulty float drain in filter) or demand has increased due to a recent
equipment installation. In this case, the necessary air demand is higher than production.
- If the compressor is compressing air at full load and the electrical consumption is within normal limits,
the problem may not be the compressor itself.
- In any case, if a situation is not resolved through the use of the troubleshooting guide, consult your
SCHULZ Authorized-Technical/Distributor.
