INSTRUCTION FOR SERIAL CONNECTION RS232 AND/OR RS485

NOTES ON THE WIRING: wrong wiring can damage both the controller and other devices connected to the
serial port.

Be careful to the following technical points below:

1. Use flexible, twisted pair, earth shielded cable, type 22 AWG.
2. The total length of the net has to be no more than:
- 5 m for serial connection through RS232
- 400 m for serial connection through RS485
3. In serial connection RS485 the maximum devices connectable are 32 units.

NOTES ON INSTALLATION
• The signal wire must be placed in electrical trunk separated from power cables or dangerous cables like the wires
of lighting and so on….
• Don’t place the signal wires near power bus-bar, lamps, transformers and high frequency antenna.
• The signal cable must be minimum 2 m far from heavy inductive load (motors, inverters and control / patch
board).
• Don’t pull the cables by strength over 12 Kg; stronger strength can damage the wires and reduce the signal
transmission on the line.
• Don’t twist, knot, crush and fray the wires.
• Use always a single cable without cut it to make the connection between two devices.
• Pay attention to wire stripper.
• To be sure that the connection is well done, sign the position of terminal block with the colour of the wire.

HOW LOGIK 18 CONTROLS THE COMPRESSOR

Safety timer t05

Pushing the stop button 0 , the compressor stops according the following procedures:
a) if the compressor is running load, changes into unload running for the time set on t05; during this time the

restart is accepted by the button I ; once the timer t 05 is elapsed, the compressor stops and the LCD visualizes
the message OFF ;

b) if the compressor is running unload and the timer t04 is higher than t 05 , once t04 is elapsed, the compressor

stops and the LCD visualizes the message OFF ; if the timer t04 is lower than t05 , t05 starts counting and when

it’s over, the compressor stops and the LCD visualizes the message OFF ;

c) if the compressor is OFF due to pressure set reached, it stops and the LCD visualizes the message OFF ;

d) when the compressor stops and the message OFF is visualized, the timer t05 starts; during this time if the start

button I is pushed, the message OFF starts blinking and the compressor will not start till the timer t05 will be
elapsed.
In case the compressor stops due to an alarm, the timer t05 starts; during this time if the alarm message is reset and

the button I is pushed, the message OFF starts blinking and the compressor will start when the timer t05 is
elapsed only.

Operation of the load solenoid valve (RL4)

1 ) t04 set as fixed time = 0

When the pressure reaches the stop pressure, RL4 turns off, the LCD visualizes the pressure and the timer
t04 starts; when the timer is over, if the pressure is not below the start set, the compressor stops;
when the timer is in progress, if the pressure goes down the start set, the load solenoid valve turns on and the LCD
visualizes the pressure while the timer t 04 erases.

2) t04 set as variable time = 1

On the first start the compressor works as point 1; on the next cycle the controller counts the time the pressure
spend to decrease from stop to start set; if this time (tx) is higher than the set on t 04 , the next unload run t04 will

be reduced of 1 minute and so on up to a minimum time of 2 minutes.

Nel momento in cui tx diventa minore di t04 variato, il ciclo di vuoto successivo tornerà ad essere conteggiato

come il tempo impostato su t 04.

ATTENTION: on the contact of the relay operating the load solenoid valve is mounted an RC Filter (22 η F
+ 100 Ω ) sized for power of 4.7W; in case a less power load solenoid valve is used, if the valve keeps on
powered even if the contact of the relay is opened, the RC Filter must be eliminated by cutting the
terminal of the resistor R11.

Thermoregulation of the fan (RL5)

When the delta contactor (RL2) is activated, the fan contactor (RL5) operates as follow:
a) if the air end temperature is equal or higher than H03
H03 = RL5 ON;
b) if the air end temperature is lower than (H03
H03 – H04) = RL5 OFF.

01.12.11 Rev. 0.3 22

Operation of RL6 set as condensate drain solenoid valve
Every time the load solenoid valve is powered (RL4), the condensate drain solenoid valve (RL6) is activated and
deactivated according the time set on the parameters t06 and t07 ; besides it’s deactivated every time the load

solenoid valve switches OFF.

Operation of RL6 set as compressor status

When the compressor is ON the relay is excited, when the compressor is OFF for pressure set reached, the relay is
unexcited.

Compressor stopped through remote start/stop input (IN3)

When the remote start/stop input (IN3) opens, the compressor stops according the following procedures:
a) if the pressure is between start and stop set (load solenoid valve is on and is visualized on the
LCD = compressor loading), the load solenoid valve turns off for the time set on t04 and the LCD visualizes the

blinking message StOP; when the timer is over, if the remote start/stop input (IN3) is still opened, the compressor

stops and the message StOP stops blinking; during the timer t04, if the remote start/stop input (IN3) should close

again, the compressor comes back under the pressure transducer operation;
b) if the pressure is between start and stop set, the load solenoid valve is off and is blinking (compressor
unloading), when the timer t04 is over, the compressor stops and the LCD visualizes the message StOP;

c) if the compressor is stopped due to reaching the pressure set, the LCD visualizes the message StOP .

Restart after power off

Automatic.
In case of power off, when the power comes back again, the compressor restarts from the operation previous to power
off: if it was ON, will follow the start procedure mentioned below, after the timer t05 ; during t05 in progress, the

message OFF blinks.

Manual.
In case of power off, when the power comes back again, the compressor doesn’t restart automatically and the display
visualizes the message P-OF ; after the message has been reset, the compressor will start by pushing I .

MASTER/SLAVE OPERATION
After the two compressors has been connected through the proper terminal of serial port RS232 (max. length not
longer than 5 m; for longer lengths use the line converter RS232/485):
1) check the parameters t08 (timer to change Master into Slave) and t 09 (timer to start Slave in case Master can’t

reach the pressure set on first starting) into menu Pt are properly set;

2) if one of the 2 compressors has more working hours than t08, the other compressor will work till reaching the

working hours of the first compressor plus the hours set on t08; after this time only, the Master/Slave rotation will

be operated.

Pushing the Start button on one of the two compressors both are operated:
both LCD of the two compressors visualize the blinking message OFF for around 5 seconds: during this time the start

button I is not accepted; when the message OFF

OFF stops blinking, the button I is enabled.

Pushing the Stop button on one of the two compressors both are stopped
The common parameters of the 2 compressors in Master/Slave operation are:

P02 -P03-P04-P05, the parameter for Manual / Automatic restart and timer t08 e t09 .
Changing one of these parameters, the modification is transferred to the other compressor automatically.

Slave compressor starts only if:

1) On first ON, the Master has not reached the stop pressure until the time set on t 09 .

2) The pressure goes down the value set on P 05.

3) If one of the two compressors has the working hours higher than the time set in the parameter Timer Master/Slave
(working hours), the other compressor will work continuously till to get the same working hours of the first
compressor in addiction to the hours set in the parameter Timer Master/Slave; only after this time, the
Master/Slave rotation will be operated.
NOTE: the compressor stops when the pressure reaches the value of P03 .

Master/Slave rotation comes:

1) When the timer set on t 08 elapses.

2) In case Master compressor shuts off .

NOTE:
1) In case of maintenance on one of the 2 compressors, before to stop it remember to set both units into standing
alone operation and set it again into Master/Slave operation after the maintenance will be carried out.
2) In case of serial line failure both compressors become Master.
