Adjustments
The P28 and P128 controls are shipped with a cut-out
pressure differential of 9 psi (62 kPa). However, the
controls can be adjusted according to the compressor
manufacturer’s specifications.
Note: When the controls are shipped as an
accessory to the compressor unit, time delay
and cut-out pressure are set to manufacturer’s
specifications. Replacement controls should
duplicate the manufacturer’s specifications.
!
CAUTION: Equipment damage hazard.
To avoid damage to the
compressor, obtain the
compressor manufacturer’s net
oil bearing pressure
specifications as soon as
possible. If necessary, reset the
cut-out pressure difference to the
manufacturer’s specifications.
When the manufacturer’s specifications are not known,
proceed as follows to set the cut-out pressure
differential:
1. With the compressor running, read the oil pressure
and the crankcase pressure.
2. Subtract the crankcase pressure reading from the
oil pressure pump discharge reading. This is the
net oil pressure to the bearings.
