CHAPTER 2: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS; MAPLE SYSTEM
2.1
Description
The following instructions apply to units that use the Maple System touchscreen Operator Interface,
MNR-0049.
The Electrical Panel Assembly will provide logical control and safety shutdowns for the compressor
equipment. All necessary time delays, counters, shutdowns, sequencing and safety features are incorporated into a proprietary software program permanently saved into PLC memory using EEPROM technology. The software program is based on the pressure and use of the compressor. The operator uses the
Operator Interface to communicate with the PLC in the Electrical Panel Assembly Controls

CHAPTER 3:
3.1
3.1.1 Description
The IK150 II or IK180 II compressor is used to compress air up to 5000 psi.
The IK150 II or IK180 II compressor is a four cylinder, four stage air cooled, oil lubricated reciprocating
compressor. The 4th stage cylinder is lubricated by means of the forced feed lubrication system, while the
other cylinders are splash lubricated. The cylinders are arranged 90 apart, with the 1st and 2nd stage, and
the 3rd and 4th stage opposite each other. These compressor blocks are particularly suitable for continuous operation because of their rugged design and corrosion resistant intermediate filter and cooler assemblies.

Lubrication System
3.1.2.1 Description.
The compressor is provided with forced-feed lubrication. The oil pressure is produced by a low revving
gear pump. The oil pressure is between 44 psi and 87 psi (3 to 6 bar).
^ CAUTION
This oil pump must be operated in the correct direction of rotation, other wise no oil pressure will be built
up and the compressor may be damaged.
(See Figure 3-4) The oil pump (1) is coupled to and driven by the crankshaft. It pumps oil from the crankcase through an oil filter (2) and the oil pressure regulating valve (3) to the 4th stage cylinder. The oil is
then distributed by the guide piston of the 4th stage and lubricates all the moving parts of the compressor
block. The oil pressure sensor (5) allows mounting for an optional oil pressure gauge or electronic pressure monitoring.

3.1.2.2 Oil Level Check
(See Figure 3-5). Check the oil level at the oil filler sight gauge on the compressor block every day before
putting the compressor into operation. Oil level must never be below the minimum mark molded into the
sight gauge as this will cause severe damage due to lack of lubrication. Overfilling is prevented by the
design of the filler neck; i.e. oil should be filled right to the edge of the opening.

Oil Change
^ CAUTION
Replace the oil filter at every oil change, otherwise when the filter becomes clogged
a bypass valve opens and the oil circulates without being filtered.
4. (See Figure 3-6) Remove two bolts (1) with a 13 mm wrench. Remove cover (2).
5. (See Figure 3-7) Remove the Oil Filter (1) from the rubber gasket at the cover.
6. Mount a new filter element and replace and fasten cover.
7. Fill new oil through filler neck to the Maximum mark on the Oil Fill Sight Gauge.
8. Pour oil in slowly, wait a few minutes until the level settles then replace cap in the Oil Fill Sight
Gauge.
9. Return the unit to operation.

^ CAUTION
To avoid damage after maintenance the following measures should be strictly adhered to.
(See Figure 3-7). If after the start of the compressor no oil pressure builds up, venting the oil pump may
be necessary, especially after maintenance and repair work. It may also be necessary if the unit has been
operated in the wrong direction of rotation.
1. With the unit running, open the condensate drain valves.
2. Open Oil Pump Vent Plug (2) and wait until oil comes out bubble free.
3. Replace Oil Vent Plug.

^ WARNING
Dynamic Loading
The rapid depressurizing and repressurizing of an intermediate separator during condensate draining subjects it to metallurgical stresses. To prevent catastrophic failure with the possibility of damage, injury or
death the intermediate separator must be replaced after 85,000 load cycles. A load cycle equals one depressurization- repressurization. The Bauer recommended frequency of condensate draining is every fifteen
minutes and is a balance between maximizing the life of the separator chamber and maintaining the quality
of the delivered air.

Intermediate Separators
3.1.4.1 Description
Two intermediate separators are mounted on the compressor, one after the 2nd stage and another after 3rd
stage. These separators are designed to remove oil and water which accumulates due to the cooling of the
air after the compression process. Separation is achieved by means of centrifugal action. In the 2nd stage
separator the design of the filter head provides this action. In the 3rd stage separator the centrifugal action
is provided by a vortex plate additionally a sintered metal filter is provided to remove dirt contamination.
3.1.4.2 Maintenance
The Intermediate Separators require no maintenance.

3.1.5.3 General Instructions for Changing the Valves
Please observe the following instructions for valve maintenance:
1. Always replace valves as a complete set.
2. Carefully clean dirty valves. Never use a sharp tool for this purpose. Soak the valves in Varsol and
clean with a soft brush.
3. Check the individual components for excessive wear. If the valve seat or valve discs are dented,
replace the valves.
4. Check the valve space in the valve heads for dirt, and clean if necessary.
5. Use only satisfactory gaskets and O-rings during reassembly.
6. Observe the correct sequence when reassembling.
7. After finishing all maintenance work on the valves, turn the compressor manually using the flywheel and check whether all items have been correctly installed.
8. 30 minutes after restarting the compressor, stop the unit, let it cool down to ambient temperature,
and retighten valve studs and cap nuts. Otherwise the gasket set may cause a leak.
9. Remove and check the valves every 1000 operating hours.
10. Replace the valves every 2000 operating hours to avoid fatigue failure.
11. Use an assembly tool (Bauer P/N: 011365) for all work on valve heads (See Figure 3-16).

3.2.1.6 Condensate Collection
The condensate drainage is a mixture of oil, water and air. The Condensate Collection Tank is where the
oil and water mixture is stored until it can be disposed of properly.
3.2.2 ACD Maintenance
The condensate drain valves are provided with manual drain valves to verify correct operation of the
automatic system.
The automatic condensate drain system must be serviced once a week as follows:
1. Open all manual drain valves one after the other.
2. Observe the drainage of condensation.
3. If the system drains more than 2 ounces of liquid per stage, either the system or the corresponding
condensate drain valve is not working properly.
4. Find the fault and remedy accordingly.
5. If little or no condensation emerges, the automatic system is operating properly.
6. The Condensate Collection Tank should be emptied regularly. Due care must be taken to ensure that
any oil which is drained with the condensate is disposed of properly. Check local, state and federal
regulations.

CHAPTER 4:
PURIFICATION SYSTEM
4.1 Introduction
The purpose of all Bauer breathing air purification systems is to remove Carbon Monoxide, oil, water,
taste and odor from the compressed air stream before final delivery.
The purpose of all Bauer industrial air purification systems is to remove oil and water from the compressed air stream before final delivery.
^ WARNING
Industrial Air Purification System cartridges do not remove Carbon Monoxide and must not be used in
breathing air applications.
4.1.1
1. Keep an accurate record of operating hours to ensure exact attention to maintenance intervals
2. Change all cartridges before reactivating a compressor unit that has been out of service more than
three months. Leave cartridges in the unit as long as it is out of service.
3. While out of service keep all condensate drain valves closed. Maintain a pressure of 700 to 1,100
psi (50 to 80 bar) within the system to prevent moisture from entering the compressor and purification system.
4.1.2 Chamber Safety Bore
The chambers in all Bauer purification systems are designed to prevent pressurization if the cartridge is
missing, not seated properly or damaged (See Figure 4-1). Without a cartridge properly in place the
safety bore is not sealed, the air escapes into the atmosphere, no pressure can be built up and thus it is
ensured that unfiltered air is not supplied to the consuming device. If air is escaping from the safety
bore remove and check cartridge. If necessary replace the cartridge or O-rings.

approximately 10 F above the ambient temperature. Therefore for the purpose of calculating cartridge
operating life use the Ambient Air Temperature plus 10 F.
A form titled Air Purification Cartridge Operating Hours is found in Paragraph 4.1.7.3 and in the
Appendices. It is used for recording the ambient temperature, operating time and adjustment factor. It
is suggested that it be copied, placed in a protective folder and kept with the unit to record the adjusted
operating hours. An example of how this form is used is shown in Figure 1-5.
4.1.7.1
1. From the purification system data plate (See Figure 4-2) on the purification chamber determine the
Air Processed (cu.ft.)
2. From the paragraph titled Compressor Specifications in the instruction manual for your compressor
unit determine the Charging Rate in SCFM of your compressor.
3. Divide the Air Processed by the Charging Rate to obtain the Maximum Operating Time in minutes
4. Divide the Maximum Operating Time in minutes by 60 to obtain the Maximum Operating Hours.
5. Record the answer on the Air Purification Cartridge Operating Hours form.
4.1.7.2
1. Using the Air Purification Cartridge Operating Hours form (FORM-0018) record the Date, Operating Hours and Ambient Air Temperature plus 10 F.
2. Using either the graph or the chart in Figure 1-4 determine the Correction Factor.
3. Divide the Operating Hours by the Correction Factor and record it under the column labeled Today.
4. Add the hours recorded in Today to the previous Total and record it as the current Total.
5. When the Total approaches the Maximum Operating Hours replace the Cartridges.

Component Description
4.3.1
^ WARNING
The rapid depressurizing and repressurizing of the oil and water separator during condensate draining subjects it to metallurgical stresses. To prevent catastrophic failure with the possibility of damage, injury or
death the oil and water separator (P/N 079416) must be replaced after a predetermined number of cycles.
One load cycle equals one pressurization plus one depressurization.
Units operating between 3,000 and 5,000 psi = 130,000 load cycles (32,500 hours of operation)
Units operating between 5,000 and 6,000 psi = 22,000 load cycles (13,750 hours of operation)
The Bauer recommended frequency of condensate draining is every fifteen minutes and is a balance
between maximizing the life of the separator chamber and maintaining the quality of the delivered air.
The air leaving the final stage is cooled in the aftercooler to approximately 18 - 27 F (10 -15 C) above
ambient temperature and then enters the oil and water separator. The oil and water separator works by
means of a sintered metal filter which separates liquid oil and water particles from the compressed air
Figure 4-6
4.3.2 Chamber
Each chamber is made up of an anodized aluminum housing and a filtering cartridge. There are two general types of filtering cartridges, drying or purifying. The cartridge type is determined by the ingredients
packed in the cartridge. The chamber is named after the type of cartridge it contains, i.e. dryer chamber or
purification chamber.

Cartridge
Page 83
UNICUS III
Figure 4-7
Cartridge
Protective Cap
4.3.3.2
Cartridge Handling
1. Never open the protective packaging a cartridge comes in prior to its actual use. The highly sensitive filter materials will absorb moisture from the atmosphere becoming saturated and useless.
2. Used cartridges must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
4.3.4 Condensate Drain Valve
A manually operated valve used for maintenance and before start-up to drain the condensed liquids from
the coalescing oil and water separator.
4.3.5 Check Valves
Valves allowing compressed air to flow in only one direction. One is used to maintain pressure in the
chamber when the compressor is not operating. The other check valve prevents back-flow from filled
storage cylinders or tanks.
4.3.6 Bleed Valve
A manually operated valve used to release the pressure in the chamber before maintenance.
4.3.7 Pressure Maintaining Valve
The pressure maintaining valve ensures that pressure is built up in the system from the start of delivery,
thus achieving constant optimum purification. It also assures proper working conditions for the final
stage of compression.
4.3.8 Safety Valve
The safety valve is located on the coalescing oil and water separator and acts as the safety valve for the
final stage of the compressor.
4.3.9 Securus II Electronic Moisture Monitor System
The Securus II Electronic Moisture Monitor System warns the operator in advance of expiration of the
life of the cartridges. The Securus II Transmitter receives signals concerning the condition of the drying
agent inside the Securus cartridge from the attached sensors and supplies the appropriate control signals
whenever the preset threshold values have been reached.
4.3.9.1 Securus Cartridge
The Securus Cartridge is packed with a catalyst which converts carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide,
activated carbon which absorbs oil vapors, molecular sieve which absorbs oil and water and the sensor
components of the Securus II Electronic Moisture Monitor System.

Overview
The following instructions apply to units that use Electrical Panel, ASY-1058 and Operator Interface,
MNR-0049.
Figure 6-1
The Electrical Panel, ASY-1058, provides logical control and safety shutdowns for the compressor
equipment. All necessary time delays, counters, shutdowns, sequencing and safety features are incorporated into a proprietary software program permanently saved into PLC memory using EEPROM technology. The software program used in this Electrical Panel is based on the pressure and use of the
compressor.
The input/output device for normal operation of the compressor unit is the Operator Interface,
MNR-0049. In an emergency the compressor is shutdown with the E-Stop Button.
6.2
Electrical Panel
This Electrical Panel is designed for use with 5, 7, 10, 15 or 20 horsepower electric motors. It is also
designed for supply voltages from 208 VAC to 460 VAC, single or three phase and 50Hz or 60 Hz. All
supply voltage options are not available with each horsepower rating.
The basic panel components consist of a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), Motor Starter, Overload Relay, Power Transformer, Fuses, Overload Reset Button, Hourmeter, terminal strips for internal

CHAPTER 7:
7.1
Description
The Carbon Monoxide (CO) Monitor is a factory installed option which may have been ordered with
your unit.
The Carbon Monoxide Monitor, Bauer P/N; MNR-0029, is a standalone assembly, which may be
installed on a compressor unit or trailer.(See Figure 7-1).
The Carbon Monoxide Monitor, Bauer P/N; MNR-0033 (See Figure 7-2) appears outwardly identical to
MNR-0029 but is designed for use with a remote display, which can be located up to 100 feet from the
compressor unit. The Remote Display, Bauer P/N; MNR-0034, is powered by the Carbon Monoxide
Monitor, MNR-0033.

The Carbon Monoxide (CO) Monitor is designed to provide continuous monitoring of the carbon
monoxide levels in breathing air.
The Carbon Monoxide Monitor is enclosed in a NEMA-4X case and operates on 12 VDC or 120
VAC.
Page 126
MNL-0375
Calibration adjustment is performed automatically by the internal microprocessor.
The Carbon Monoxide Sensor Cell has a life expectancy of one and a half to three years if the calibration check is done every 30 days as recommended.
7.1.1 Component Description
The following are the major components for the standard and trailer Carbon Monoxide Monitor Assembly installations. See Figure 7-3.
Figure 7-3
Page 127
UNICUS III
7.3
Operation
1. Start the compressor unit.
2. The LCD Display will show introductory messages and a warm up countdown (WARM XX).
3. After the warm up countdown of 120 seconds, the instrument will display Carbon Monoxide level
readings.
4. The Inlet Regulator may be adjusted at any time to set the flow level from 0.5 to 0.8 SCFH on the
Flow Indicator.
5. If the compressor is not running then a LOW FLOW indication will show on the display.
6. If carbon monoxide readings remain high or below zero calibration may be needed.
7.4 Maintenance
7.4.1 Calibrating Carbon Monoxide Monitor.
NOTICE
Calibration is recommended every thirty days.
1. Before calibration, be sure that the test gas bottles in the calibration kit have an adequate amount of
gas in the them. Attach the fixed flow regulator to the gas bottle and then detach it. You should hear
a slight popping sound.
2. Turn on the compressor unit. The compressor itself does not have to run, because the test gas is
being substituted for the air supply from the compressor.
3. The compressor unit power needs to be applied to the unit for 15 minutes so the unit can stabilize.
If you attempt to calibrate before the end of this 15 minute period, TO SOON will appear on the
LCD Display.
4. Lift the cap of Inlet Regulator and turn counterclockwise until it stops. This will ensure that the air
flow from the compressor unit is shut off.
5. If the gas flow from the compressor unit was not shut off, a message SUPPLY OFF will appear.
If this message appears, shut off the supply air and then begin the calibration process again.
6. Connect the 20 ppm Carbon Monoxide Test Gas to the fixed flow regulator and connect it to the
Calibration Port of the Carbon Monoxide Monitor.
7. Turn the value on the Fixed Flow Regulator counterclockwise until the Carbon Monoxide Monitor
Flow Indicator shows between 0.5 and 0.8 SCFH.
8. The Display will count down from 60 seconds. At the conclusion, the display will prompt Carbon Monoxide G SET or CAL FAILED
9. The the display will prompt REMOVE Carbon Monoxide GAS.
10. Turn the valve on the Fixed Flow Regulator clockwise until it is closed and disconnect it from the
Calibration Port and disconnect the 20 ppm Carbon Monoxide Test Gas bottle from the fixed flow
regulator.
Page 128
MNL-0375
11. Allow 10 minutes for the remaining gas in the Carbon Monoxide Sensor Cell to dissipate after the
calibration process.
NOTICE
If the compressor is started before the test gas dissipates, it could lead to incorrect
Carbon Monoxide level readings.
12. Turn the compressor on, compressor must be running, adjust Inlet Regulator to 0.5-0.8 SCFH to
restore normal operations.
7.4.2 Troubleshooting a Calibration Failure
If the unit fails to calibrate, it maybe due to low pressure in Test Gas Bottles, mixing up the Test Gas
Bottles during calibration or an aging Carbon Monoxide Sensor Cell.
1. Ensure the Test Gas supply is adequate. See Paragraph 7.4.1 Step 1.
2. Initialize the Carbon Monoxide Monitor following the procedures in Paragraph 7.4.4. This will
allow for a greater percentage of compensation for the gas.
3. If the Test Gas is good and the Carbon Monoxide Monitor still refuses to calibrate, replace the Carbon Monoxide Sensor Cell. See Paragraph 7.4.3.
4. If it still doesnt calibrate, contact Bauer Product Support.
Figure 7-4
Page 129

1. Disconnect the power from the unit.
^ CAUTION
Be sure the power is disconnected from the unit.
2. Remove the four corner screws and open the Carbon Monoxide Monitor front cover.
3. Remove the screws that hold the Carbon Monoxide Sensor Cell cover.
4. Remove the Carbon Monoxide Sensor Cell from its socket by pulling it up from the circuit board.
5. Install a new Carbon Monoxide Sensor Cell.
^ CAUTION
Be sure the shorting wire is removed from the new Carbon Monoxide Sensor Cell.
6. Replace the Carbon Monoxide Sensor Cell Cover, ensuring the longer screw is in its indicated hole.
7. Reassemble the Carbon Monoxide Monitor and reconnect to power.
8. Let the new Carbon Monoxide Sensor Cell warm-up for an hour before doing the Initialization.
9. See Paragraph 7.4.4 for Carbon Monoxide Monitor Initialization procedures.
7.4.4 Carbon Monoxide Monitor Initialization
Initialization of the Carbon Monoxide Monitor will need to be done if a calibration fails, the Carbon
Monoxide Sensor is replaced or any other maintenance on the internal components of the Carbon Monoxide Monitor System was performed.

with an input pressure of 5,00 psi.
5. Tighten Jam Nut (4), Remove Pressure Gauge and reattach Outlet Connection.
7.4.4.2
Initialization Calibration
1. Before calibration, be sure that the test gas bottles in the Calibration Kit (See Figure 7-4) have an
adequate amount of gas in the them. Attach the Fixed Flow Regulator to the gas bottle and then
detach it. You should hear a slight popping sound.
2. Turn on the compressor unit. The compressor itself does not have to run, because the test gas is
being substituted for the air supply from the compressor.
3. The compressor unit power needs to be applied to the unit for 15 minutes so the unit can stabilize.
If you attempt to calibrate before the end of this 15 minute period, TO SOON will appear on the
LCD Display.
4. Lift the cap of Inlet Regulator (6) and turn counterclockwise until it stops. This will ensure that the
air flow from the compressor unit is shut off.
October 22, 2009

5. If the gas flow from the compressor unit was not shut off, a message SUPPLY OFF will appear.
If this message appears, shut off the supply air and then begin the calibration process again.
6. Depress the Zero Cal Set Switch on the front of the Carbon Monoxide Monitor with a paper clip for
approximately 30 seconds.
7. Connect the Zero Gas bottle to the Fixed Flow Regulator and connect it to the Calibration Port of
the Carbon Monoxide Monitor.
8. Turn the valve on the Fixed Flow Regulator counterclockwise until the Carbon Monoxide Monitor
Flow Indicator shows between 0.5 and 0.8 SCFH.
9. The Display should read ZERO CAL and will count down from 60 seconds. At the conclusion,
the display prompts, REMOVE ZERO GAS.
10. Turn the valve on the Fixed Flow Regulator clockwise until it is closed and disconnect it from the
Calibration Port.
11. Disconnect the Zero Gas Bottle and the display will indicate 20 ppm CAL GAS REQUIRED
12. Connect the 20 ppm Carbon Monoxide Test Gas to the Fixed Flow Regulator and connect it to the
Calibration Port of the Carbon Monoxide Monitor.
13. Turn the valve on the Fixed Flow Regulator counterclockwise until the Carbon Monoxide Monitor

^ CAUTION
Except for the Carbon Monoxide Sensor Cell, all internal Carbon Monoxide monitor parts
are to be serviced only by the manufacturer.
Do not adjust factory settings with the setup menu Mode Buttons unless absolutely necessary and by a
trained technician. The only reason to access the setup information is to test the alarm relay interface of
the control system which simulates the compressor going into an alarm state. The following describes
how to access the TEST MODE.
^ CAUTION
Except for testing the Display LCD, adjusting the parameters set at factory incorrectly could be dangerous.
Adjustment, if necessary, must be done by a trained technician.

1. Unscrew the four large screws on all corners of the Front Cover (See Figure 7-3).
2. Lift the Front Cover carefully, to not harm any of the attached wires inside the Carbon Monoxide
monitor.
3. Find the two white mode buttons on the left side of the motherboard (See Figure 7-8). By briefly
depressing the top button six times it is possible to cycle through the set up parameters to access the
TEST MODE.
4. When TEST MODE is displayed simply depress the bottom Value Change Button. Depressing the
Value Change Button sends an input signal to the PLC, shutting down the compressor system and
annunciating a high Carbon Monoxide alarm (reference the electrical section of this manual for
more information). TEST MODE also sounds the auxiliary horn (if installed) and activates the solid
squares on Front Cover LED Readout.
5. The top mode button must be depressed again to return to Normal Mode.
6. Replace Front Cover and screw in place.
7.5
NOTICE
The Remote Display must not be installed more than 100 feet from the Carbon Monoxide Monitor.
(See Figure 7-9) To calibrate the Remote Display, adjust the internal potentiometer with the compressor
system control switched on, so the Carbon Monoxide Monitor will be energized. However do not have
Page 135
UNICUS III
the compressor running, because the air supply from the compressor is unnecessary for the Remote Display setup.
1. To calibrate the Remote Display unit during normal operation of the compressor unit, make sure the
that both the compressor and Carbon Monoxide Monitor units are on.
2. Open the Remote Display (See Figure 7-9). Find the top potentiometer and adjust it to match the
Carbon Monoxide Monitor Carbon Monoxide display reading. Notice that the Carbon Monoxide
Monitor rounds off to whole numbers while the Remote Relay displays decimal places, so adjust as
close as possible.
3. When the display readings match, reassemble the Remote Relay. Realign readings if necessary.

CFS II MAINTENANCE
Description
The UNICUS III containment fill stations are designed and have been tested to offer the operator protection against the explosive force and resulting shrapnel should a cylinder fail during the filling operation.
^ WARNING
If a cylinder fails during a filling operation, the Containment Fill Station must be considered damaged
beyond repair and destroyed to prevent its ever being used again.
The fill station features fill hoses complete with bleed valves and SCBA fill adapters of choice, mechanical door interlock, and a fill control panel with individual pressure gauges.

Page 139
UNICUS III
8.3.2 Nonadjustable Valves
The condensate drain valve, bleed valve and check valves are not adjustable. The condensate drain valve
and bleed valve have seats and seals which should be replaced if the valve leaks. Check valves are not
adjustable or repairable and must be replaced if they malfunction.
8.3.3 Pressure Gauges
Observe the pressure gauges daily. If the readings of any of the gauges seem to be incorrect, bleed off all
system pressure. Check that the gauges correctly read zero then reapply pressure to the system. If the
reading is still incorrect contact Bauer Compressors for service. All broken or damaged gauges must be
replaced immediately.

Pneumatic Connections
^ WARNING
Maintenance of pipe and tubing connections should not be attempted while the unit is under pressure.
Serious injury or equipment damage will result if the connection fails or is loosened.
After determining that a pneumatic connection is leaking. Relieve compressed air pressure and tighten
just firmly enough so that leakage is stopped (finger tight plus up to an additional turn as necessary).
Please note that the compression type coupling fittings are capable of exerting extreme force on the tubing and should not be tightened more than is required to seal the joint. To improve the sealing of the pipe
connections and to facilitate installation, the following should be observed:

but must be executed regularly to achieve safe operation, maximum efficiency and long service life.
We recommend that all maintenance work be recorded in a service book, showing the date and details
of the work carried out. This will help to avoid expensive repairs caused by missed maintenance
work. If it is necessary to make a claim against the warranty, it will help to have proof that regular
maintenance has been carried out and that the damage has not been caused by insufficient maintenance.
This compressor unit must be installed, operated, maintained and repaired only by authorized, trained
and qualified personnel.
Consult and follow all OSHA, NEMA, ASME and local regulations, laws and codes covering the
installation and operation of this compressor and accessories before operating the unit.
Do not operate this unit in excess of its rated capacity, speed, pressure, temperature, or otherwise than
in accordance with the instructions contained in this manual. Operation of this unit in excess of the
conditions set forth in this manual will subject the unit to limits which it may not be designed to withstand.
Keep safety guards in place.
Do not modify the compressor or its systems.
Do not wear loose clothing around machinery. Loose clothing, neckties, rings, wrists watches, bracelets, hand rags, etc. are potential hazards.
Provide adequate fire protection. Make sure fire extinguishers are accessible. Select alternate routes
of escape and post such routes.
Make sure you are equipped with all required safety equipment; hearing protection, safety glasses,
hard hats, safety shoes and fire extinguisher.
Visually inspect the unit before starting. Remove and/or replace any loose or broken components,
tools, valves, missing equipment, etc.
Do not tamper with, modify, or bypass safety and shutdown equipment.
Do not tighten or adjust fitting or connections under pressure.
The use of plastic pipe or rubber hose in place of steel tube or iron pipe, soldered joints or failure to
ensure system compatibility of flex joints and flexible hose can result in mechanical failure, property
damage, and serious injury or death.
The use of plastic or nonmetallic bowls on line filters without metal guards can be dangerous.
Replace damaged fan blades promptly. Fan assemblies must remain in proper balance. An unbalanced
fan can fly apart and create an extremely dangerous condition.
Page 160
MNL-0375
Allow the compressor to cool before servicing. Whenever the compressor is shut down and overheating is suspected, a minimum period of 15 minutes must elapse before opening the crankcase.
Premature opening of the crankcase of an overheated unit can result in an explosion.
Incorrect placement of the inlet and pressure valves in a compressor cylinder head can cause an
extremely dangerous condition. Refer to the appropriate section of this manual before installing or
replacing valves.
Before doing any work involving maintenance or adjustment, be sure the electrical supply has been
disconnected, and the complete compressor system has been vented of all internal pressure. Failure to
follow these warnings may result in an accident causing personal injury and/or property damage.
Before working on the electrical system, be sure to disconnect the electrical supply from the system at
the circuit breaker or other manual disconnect. Do not rely on the ON/OFF switch to disconnect the
electrical supply.

Page 163
UNICUS III
11.2.2 Installation of the Compressor Unit
The floor of the site must be capable of supporting the weight of the unit. Position the unit so that it is
level. The maximum permissible inclination of the compressor unit is listed in Paragraph 1.4.
^ CAUTION
The inclination values listed in Paragraph 1.4 are valid only if the oil level of the compressor is level with
but does not exceed the upper mark of the oil dipstick or oil level sight glass
Ensure that the compressor air intake is supplied with fresh air. The intake air must not contain any
exhaust fumes or flammable vapors such as paint solvents, which may cause an internal fire. Make sure
that the intake air is unobstructed and moisture in the intake air is kept to a minimum. It is important that
units draw in clean air. The quality of the incoming air determines the quality of the compressed air. This
is important even for industrial air, as any incoming fumes will also be compressed and will increase the
toxicity to anyone working with the compressed air.
If a remote control is provided, the unit must be equipped with a clearly visible plate warning the possibility of the unit starting. As an additional measure, anyone starting the unit by remote control must make
sure that no one is checking or operating the unit. For this purpose, a second warning plate should be provided at the remote control unit.
AUTOMATIC COMPRESSOR CONTROL
UNIT MAY START WITHOUT WARNING!
Before carrying out maintenance and repair work, switch off at the main switch

Locking Nuts (2) until the Leveling Foot (3) can be attached. Adjust the all of the Adjusting Bolts until
the Leveling Foot touches the ground and the UNICUS III is level. The Anchor Foot is then positioned as
desired and the appropriate anchor hardware installed. The Locking Nuts are then tightened to prevent the
Leveling Foot from moving.
11.2.2.2 Ventilation
During normal compression, heat is generated by the compressor and by the drive motor or engine. For
air-cooled compressor units, this heat needs to be vented away by sufficient ventilation.
11.2.2.2.1Outdoor Installation
It is recommended that all gasoline and diesel engine driven compressor units be installed outdoors.
Additionally, electrically driven compressor units may be installed outdoors only if enclosed with weatherproof enclosure panels.
11.2.2.2.2Indoor Installation
The best location to install the compressor unit indoors is against an outside wall with a suitably large air
vent in front of the cooling fan. Additionally, it is necessary to position an exhaust opening in the opposite wall, close to the ceiling or in the ceiling.
As a basic rule of thumb, the room should be ventilated sufficiently so as to prevent the ambient room
temperature from exceeding 105 F. Additional heat generating equipment or piping should be avoided or
must be well insulated.
Page 165

11.3 Long Term Storage
11.3.1 General
If the compressor unit will be out of service for more than six months, it should be preserved in accordance with the following instructions:
1. Make sure that the compressor is kept indoors in a dry, dust-free room.
2. Cover the compressor with plastic sheets only if no condensation will form under the sheet.
3. Remove the sheet from time to time and clean the outside of the unit.
4. If this procedure cannot be followed, or if the compressor will be out of service for more than 24
months, please contact the Bauer Service Department for special instructions.
11.3.2 Preparations
Prior to preserving the compressor unit, it must be run until warm, i.e., up to the specified service pressure. Operate the unit for approximately 10 minutes, then carry out the following checks.
1. Check all pipes, filters and valves (including safety valves) for leakage.
2. Tighten all couplings, as required.
3. After 10 minutes, open the outlet valve and operate the compressor at adjusted minimum pressure
using the pressure maintaining valve for approximately 5 minutes.
4. After the 5 minutes, shut the compressor unit down and completely drain all separators and filters.
Close all valves.
5. Remove filter heads and lubricate the threads with petroleum jelly.
11.3.2.1 Units Equipped with a Filter System
1. Ensure that cartridges remain in the purification system chambers. This will prevent oil from entering the outlet lines as a result of preservation procedures.
2. Remove the intake filter/intake pipe completely.
11.3.3 Preserving the Compressor
1. Operate the compressor again and slowly spray approximately 0.35 oz. (10 cc) of oil into the inlet
port while the compressor is running. Keep the shut-off valve open and the condensate drain valves
closed.
2. After spraying the oil into the inlet port, run the compressor unit for an additional 5 minutes before
shutting the compressor unit down.
3. Close the shut-off valve.
4. Close the inlet port with a dust cap and/or tape.
11.3.4 Preventive Maintenance During Storage
Operate the compressor once every six months as follows:
1. Remove the dust cap from the inlet port and install the inlet filter.
Page 170
MNL-0375
2. Open the outlet valve and allow the system to run approximately 5 minutes until there is outflow
from the valve and oil is visible in the sight glass of the oil regulating valve.
3. Shut down the compressor.
4. Open the condensate drain valves, depressurize the unit, then close the drain valves again.
5. Remove the intake filter and replace the dust cap on the inlet port.
11.3.5 Lubrication Oils for Preservation
1. After prolonged storage periods, the oil will age in the compressor crankcase. The oil must be
drained at least every 24 months and replaced with fresh oil.
2. The stated period can only be attained when the crankcase is sealed during the preservation period
in accordance with the preservation requirements.
3. After changing the oil, the compressor must be operated according to the instructions above.
4. Check the lubrication of the compressor during the every-six-month brief operation.
5. The oil pump is functioning properly when oil can be seen flowing through the sight glass of the oil
pressure regulator or if the oil pressure gauge indicates the prescribed pressure.
11.3.6 Reactivating the Compressor Unit
1. Remove the dust cap from the inlet port and install the intake filter.
2. Check the oil level of the compressor. If necessary, change the oil.
3. The motor must be thoroughly dry before applying power.
4. For units with a purification system, change all cartridges.
5. Run the compressor with open outlet valve for approximately 10 minutes. Check for proper operation of the lubricating system.
6. After 10 minutes, close the shut-off valve and run the system up to final pressure until the final
pressure safety valve vents. On compressor units with a compressor control system, raise the pressure switch setting the switch above normal limits to override the pressure switch. Be sure to reset
the switch after checking.
7. Check the interstage safety valves for leakage.
8. Establish the cause of any faults and remedy.
9. Stop the unit when it is running properly. The compressor is then ready for operation.
