1. The ISC can manage from 2 to 8 air compressors. 1.0 INTRODUCTION 2. Compressors can be either Intellisys or preIntellisys One Intellisys System Controller (ISC) can sequence (rotary) models. both rotary and reciprocating compressors. To do this, it must have software EPROM version 1.1 or higher.
2.0 RECEIPT OF EQUIPMENT When you receive the Intellisys System Controller (ISC) please inspect it closely. Any indication of careless han- dling by the carrier should be noted on the delivery receipt especially if the ISC will not be immediately unboxed.
3.0 INSTALLATION 3.1 ISC MOUNTING Before beginning Intellisys System Controller (ISC) 1. The ISC can be easily installed on any suitable sur- installation and system operation, the following require- face in the general vicinity of the air compressors. Refer ments and recommendations must be satisfied.

4.0 OPERATION 4.1.2 SEQUENCER STOP BUTTON Air system performance can be enhanced by carefully setting up the Intellisys System Controller (ISC). This UNLOADED SEQUENCER includes selecting operating parameters that customize STOP STOP the ISC for the specific air system to which it is attached.
4.1.5 SET BUTTON 4.1.9 COMPRESSOR UNIT STATUS LED’s There is a pair of status LED’s, “ Sequence” and “Loaded”, for each compressor under the control of the ISC. Each “Sequence” LED lights to indicate that com- pressor is in Sequence mode through the communica- tion channel to the ISC.
4.2 SETTING UP THE ISC (Continued) Step Action 5. Press the SET button to lock in any changed value and to move to the next set point within a set point Press the SET button once, observe the group. If a value has been changed, the display will flash currently selected language.

PRESSURE CONTROL Step Action The ISC will maintain the Target Pressure by loading While not in any Set Point routine, press the compressors when the pressure is below the “lower SET button once and observe pressure limit”, which is defined as the Target Pressure “PRESSURE SET UP”...
If the system pressure should ever rise above the “maxi- mum pressure limit”, which is defined as 5 PSI above the Step Action “upper pressure limit”, the ISC will tell all compressors to unload at once. If the pressure then drops to the “upper pressure limit”...

SEQUENCE SET UP RULES: Step Action 1. Compressors are numbered 1 through 8 with no gaps in the numbering. For example, if there are five compressors, While not in any Set Point routine, press they must be connected to communication channels 1 the SET button once and observe through 5.
4.2.4 COMPRESSOR CONTROL automatically by the ISC or manually by the operator. Automatic rotation occurs when the ISC is put in either Each compressor can be set to Local or Sequence con- TIMED Mode or EVENT Mode. Manual rotation occurs trol through the ISC.

MANUAL ROTATION MODE In the MANUAL Rotation Mode, the ISC rotates from what- ever sequence is currently running, regardless of the cur- rent rotation mode, directly to the sequence designated M that is set up in the Manual mode Set Point. This occurs immediately upon exiting the Set Point routine after select- ing MANUAL Mode.
