1 General information
1.1 Introduction
The objective of the Airmaster M3 is to replace the normal electro-magnetic switching and timing
equipment on your machines at a comparable price, but with all the advantages of a microprocessor
based controller in terms of versatility, error management, maintenance log, and a lot more.
The Airmaster M3 is the smallest standard controller in the C.M.C. product line. It shares the same
software capabilities with our more complete unit, the L1 and is built according to the same stringent
mechanical and electronic standards.
In order to keep the price down, we gave the switches and the LED’s a fixed place on the PCB. Also, the
Airmaster M3 can use the cubicle of your machine as its housing.
Within this framework, there is a possibility to assign LED’s and switches the functions that you need,
and the layout of the front overlay will be done entirely to your specifications.
A three-digit LED display shows all analogue values such as pressure and temperature. All counted
hours such as: running hours, loaded hours, air filter timer and other service timers are available on this
display.
The Airmaster M3 is ideal to function with a pressure and temperature sensor. The temperature is
displayed on the three-digit LED display.

2 User interface
The Airmaster M3 controller is equipped with a 3 digit seven-segment LED-display, 5 push buttons, 7
indication LEDS and one power LED. The Airmaster is delivered with a standard C.M.C. front panel.
However, a customized front panel can be ordered from C.M.C..

The status of all digital inputs is shown at the same time.
For each digital input one LED on the front plate is assigned:
If the LED is ON : the status of digital input does not match the input configuration therefore the digital
input is NOT in the "normal position".

way, internal pressure is decreased and it will
prevent the oil from foaming.

Function Default
The acceleration time is the time between the powering of the delta relay and the powering 2sec
of the load/unload solenoid valve. This acceleration time makes sure that the motor is at its
full speed before loading the compressor.
Table 15
When selecting a new model or type of machine in menu 003 factory settings (see Table 7 on page 9),
the following parameters will be set accordingly.
• note: The "time to stop" in this table is the time that the machine continues to run
unloaded when a stop command is given.
Function Default
setting
The Airmaster is standard equipped with a device that detects a micro interruption of the 40ms
power supply. Every zero crossing of the 24VAC mains is detected. When 2 consecutive
cycles or a power failure of 40ms is detected, the controller will automatically stop the
machine. At the same time, all relays are released and 3 horizontal dashes are displayed
on the LED display. By stopping the machine during a micro interruption of the power
supply, sparks on the relay contacts are avoided which will extend the relay lifetime.

5 Installation and connections
5.1.1 Safety
The unit complies with the "class I equipment" standard. This standard assures protection of the user
against electric shocks when accessible conductive parts of the controller that are connected to the
protective earthing-conductor are touched. Therefore measure are taken that none of those
conductive parts can become live due to a failure of the basic insulation of the fixed wiring.
Make sure that the Airmaster M3 is always connected to earth. This will prevent injury,
! electrocution, etc. of the user in case of a failing wiring insulation or a lose wire connection.
Especially when voltages above 42.4V peak are applied to the controller.
If one of the circuits connected with the Airmaster M3 have voltages of 42.2V peak or more, the unit is
classified as "class III equipment". Although in this situation safety earth is not needed, it is still
necessary to earth the unit to fulfil the electromagnetic compatibility demands.
Designing the Airmaster M3, regulated distances between powered parts and accessible parts are
taken into account. We only guarantee this safety regulation when the unit is assembled by a qualified
employee of C.M.C..
C.M.C. disclaims any warranty in a case an unauthorized person has opened the module.
Keep the earth-wire as short as possible and do not tie it with other wires.
The electromagnetic compatibility of the unit can not be guaranteed when the unit is opened.
However in order to increase the protection of the Airmaster M3 against electromagnetic interference, it
is advisable to install the unit in a metal cubical or switchbox. The cabinet will protect the controller
additionally against dust, moisture, dirt, etc and therefore it is recommended to make use of the
cubical.
5.1.3 Connectors
To be sure the cable connectors can not be plugged in reversely, the PCB connectors must be
equipped with polarisation keys.
MANY0001A.00 Page 14 of 20
Airmaster M3 – installation guide & user's manual
Polarisation keys
5.2 Power supply
The connector for the power supply is indicated on the back with 24VAC.
The Airmaster requires a 24VAC / 25VA power supply (+/-20%).
Important note:
DO NOT GROUND THE 24VAC SECONDARY WINDING OF THE TRANSFORMER. DOING SO
! WILL CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE !!! THE 24VAC SECONDARY WINDING DOES NOT NEED TO
BE GROUNDED (See EN 60420-1 Safety of machinery part 1 general requirements – IEC 204-
1:1992 modified.)
5.3 Fusing
2 fuses of 1.6A slow must be used for protection of the secondary winding of the transformer and they
must be able to withstand 20A rms during at least 10ms.
The Airmaster M3 is equipped with 1 fuse of 3A slow (3AT). In case of repair, use only original
(similar) fuses.
The Airmaster M3 has 6 digital inputs that are used to detect faults and consequently take the appropriate
actions.
The following table gives an overview of the available inputs and the related faults:
MANY0001A.00 Page 15 of 20
Airmaster M3 – installation guide & user's manual
5.6 Additional inputs
The following table gives an overview of the additional inputs on the Airmaster M3:
Note: In order to avoid damage on the Airmaster M3, make sure that the 5-pin reverse phase
detection connector is equipped with security keys as well as the corresponding external
! connector. Doing so will prevent the possibility of plugging the "high power" connector in the 5-
pin analogue input connector. (Example, see picture in item 5.1.3 Connectors on page 14)
Do not exceed the maximum voltage and current mentioned in the technical specification file.
A VDR is placed parallel over the relay contact. So even with an open contact, the VDR is still
able to let a small current flow. This current is too small to activate a load but it can harm
people when the circuit is touched.
!
Do not exceed the maximum voltage and current mentioned in the technical specification file.
The connector of the RS485 data communication is indicated on the back cover with L1 and L2
