WORKING PRINCIPLE

1) Supplying power to the compressor, the display visualizes the message OFF.
2) In OFF status, the compressor starts by pushing the button I and the display visualizes the working pressure or
working temperature (according the setting of the parameter P01 = pressure control via pressure transducer or
electromechanical pressure switch)
3) The compressor stops by pushing the button 0 .
4) In case of alarm detected, the display visualizes the pertinent alarm code.

SETTING THE PARAMETERS

When the compressor is OFF by pushing at the same time F and 0 for 3 seconds enter into the setting of the
parameters and the display visualizes the code of the parameter; pushing the button F the display visualizes the
set value and by I and/or 0 change the value; pushing F again, visualize the code of the parameter and by the
buttons I and/or 0 flow up/down the codes of the next parameters; to enable the setting of the parameters,
always push the button F as explained above.
Quit the setting by pushing the button F for 3 seconds e comes back to OFF.
During the setting, if the value to set is equal to the higher or lower value of the settable range, the value visualized
starts blinking on the display.

ANTIPANIC FUNCTION
For safety reasons, during the setting if no one button is pushed for 60 seconds from the last pushing of any button,
the controller quit the setting automatically saving the values changed.

NOTES ON THE PARAMETERS:

1) In case of setting parameter P01 = 1, the parameters P02 ÷ P06 will not be visualized.
2) Selecting the parameter P24= 0, if the power supply to the controller goes down 9.0 Vac, the controller
switches off and restart automatically (with a delay time set on parameter P17) when the power overcomes 10.5
Vac: the display doesn’t visualize any alarm for low voltage.
Selecting the parameter P24 = 1, if the power supply to the controller goes down 9.0 Vac, the controller
switches off; when the power overcomes 10.5 Vac, the controller visualizes the alarm code AL7 standing in OFF
status.
3) P25 = 0 input IN3 enabled as control phase relay and joined to related alarms wrong/missing phase.
P25 = 1 input IN3 enabled as remote start/stop (control phase relay disabled).
4) Selecting the parameter P28 = 0, RL5 operates as alarm relay and the parameters P29 and P30 are not visualized.
Selecting the parameter P28 = 1, RL5 operates the fan contactor and the parameters P29 and P30 are visualized.
5) The counting of the parameters P18 ÷ P22 is pertinent to ON time of RL1 and comes to backwards: when the
counting reaches 0, goes on as negative counting.
The storage of the hours comes every 15 minutes; if power lacks during this time, the split of 15 minutes time is
missed.
6) If the parameter P22 is set 9.900 will not generate the pertinent alarm
7) The parameter P23 is the max. starts per hour allowed to the motor (see alarm code AL8). If you set it “0” the
starts/hour control is not operated.
8) The parameter P26 allows to detect and visualize the pressure in two different scales:
0 = bar – 1 = PSI.
9) The parameter P27 allows to detect and visualize the temperature in two different scales:
0 = °C (Celsius) – °F (Fahrenheit)
*P31 = Security is related to the timer CAF (change air filter): once CAF timer is over, the compressor shut-off and the
display visualizes the alarm code A13.

22.05.13 Rev. 0.5 8

Setting: when you enter into the selection of the parameters, by pushing ON and OFF buttons at the same time for 3
seconds the editing of P31 is enabled. Default = 0 (disabled)

ALARM CODES

WARNINGS (VISUAL ALARMS)

AL0 = setting data lost; default values restored (the alarm code blinks on the display).
AL4 = high air end temperature warning: the value detected by the temperature probe over set P09 (alarm code
alternated by the visualization of the pressure or temperature according the set of the parameter P01: automatic reset
when the temperature goes down set – 2°C).
AL8 = inform the compressor will never stop till the expiration of 1 hour time from the first start; it will run
load/unload according the pressure.
NOTE: in case of warning, RL5 (set “0”) is intermittently energized.

ALARM MESSAGES WITH IMMEDIATE COMPRESSOR SHUT OFF

AL1 = phase inverted/missing phase: IN3 (control phase relay) changes to N.O. (Normally Open).
AL2 = IN 2 (OR alarms) changes to N.O. (Normally Open).
AL3 = high air end temperature: temperature detected by the probe over set P08.
AL5 = air end temperature probe failure.
AL6 = low air end temperature: temperature detected by the probe below set P04.
AL7 = low voltage.
AL9 = security pressure switch opened: missing power supply to all the digital inputs.
*A10 = pressure over set P03 (alarm detected if parameter P01 = 0).
*A11 = pressure transducer failure (possible wrong setting of the parameter P01: pressure transducer – pressure
switch or pressure transducer failure)
*A12 = emergency stop button opened
*A13 = Security (Parameter P31 set as “1”): reset CAF timer to enable alarm resetting.
NOTE: when the compressor shuts off, all the relays are de-energized and RL5 (P25 = 0) is energized.
* Having only 3 characters available on the display the alarms AL10, AL11, AL12 and AL13 will be short
cut as A10, A11, A12, A13.

MAINTENANCE MESSAGES

F-A = change air filter (timer P18 elapsed)

F-O = change oil filter (timer P19 elapsed)
F-S = change separator filter (timer P20 elapsed)
OIL = change oil (timer P21 elapsed)
C-h = check compressor (timer P22 elapsed)

It’s possible to reset the shut off alarms by pushing the button F only when the compressor is OFF.
It’s possible to reset the warnings (visual alarms) and maintenance messages by pushing the button F even if the
compressor is in operation.

NOTES:

1) The shut off alarms have priority on the warnings (visual alarms) while the warnings have priority on the
maintenance messages.
2) If a maintenance message is visualized and then reset by the button F but the pertinent timer is not reset, the
next power on this maintenance message will be visualized on the display again.
3) The alarm codes and maintenance codes are visualized in every compressor status.

22.05.13 Rev. 0.5 9

VISUALIZATION OF THE TEMPERATURE

In case of parameter P01 = 1 (electromechanical pressure switch) the temperature is visualized on the display
directly, during the operation.
In case of parameter P01 = 0 (pressure transducer), when the compressor is ON, to visualize the temperature, push
easily the button F ; after 5 seconds the temperature is visualized, the display shifts back to visualize the working
pressure again.

VISUALIZATION OF THE MAINTENANCE TIMER

When the compressor is ON, to visualize the maintenance time:

push F and the display visualizes the message F-A (Air Filter); pushing it again, the display visualizes the residual
hours of the pertinent timer; going on pushing F the display visualizes the message F-O (Oil Filter), the message
F-S (Separator filter); the message OIL (Oil), the message C-h (Check compressor) with the residual hours of the
pertinent timer.
Visualizing the residual hours of the parameter C-h, pushing F , the display shifts back to the main visualization.

NOTE:
1) if within 60 seconds the button F is not pushed, the controllers shifts back to the main visualization.
2) if the timer is negative, the first digit on the display visualizes the symbol “–“ while the other digits the hours;
in case of hours more than 99 the pertinent led of multiplicative factors is lighted

RESET OF THE MAINTENANCE TIMER

The reset is operated when the compressor is OFF only.

Pushing the button F for 3 seconds, the display visualizes the message F-A (Air filter); pushing it again the
residual hours (blinking) of the pertinent timer; to operate the reset push F for 3 seconds and after that the display
shifts to the next message F-O (Oil filter); if you don’t need to reset this timer, easily push the button F to shifts to
the next timer F-O (Oil filter).
As per timer F-A, going on pushing F the display visualizes the timer F-S (Separator filter), OIL (Olio), C-h (Check
compressor) with the pertinent residual hours (blinking); to reset these timer follow the same procedure as per timer
F-A.
After the reset of the last timer C-h the display shifts to the message OFF.

NOTE:
if within 60 seconds the button F is not pushed, the controller shifts back to the main visualization.

22.05.13 Rev. 0.5 10

VISUALIZATION OF THE WORKING HOURS

When compressor is ON, to visualize the working hours:

push at the same time the buttons F and I for 3 seconds and the display visualizes the message h-t (counting of
ON hours of RL1); pushing F again the display visualizes the pertinent hours, lighting the led for multiplicative
factor, just in case.
Pushing F again, the display visualizes the message h-L (counting of ON hours of RL4); pushing it again the display
visualizes the pertinent hours, lighting the led for multiplicative factor, just in case.
Pushing F again, the display visualizes the message n-- (counting of starts/hour); pushing F again, the display
visualizes the number of starts/hours.
Pushing F again, the display visualizes the message rEL (software release); pushing F again, the display
visualizes software release loaded in the controller. Pushing F again, the display shifts back to main visualization.

RESET OF THE WORKING HOUR-METER

To reset hour-meter the compressor must be absolutely in OFF.
Pushing 0 I F for 3 seconds (at the same time), the display visualizes the message r-h; push F for 3
seconds to start the reset and after that the message r-h will start blinking: reset of total working hours and load
hours is in progress. Once the reset is over, the display visualizes the message OFF.

HOW LOGIK 8 CONTROLS THE COMPRESSOR

1) Power on:
a) the display visualizes the message OFF;
b) all the relays are OFF (de-energized).
2) Compressor ON by pushing I : the display visualizes the temperature and led indicates the status of RL4
(load solenoid valve).

Safety time P17

Pushing the stop button 0 , the compressor stops according the following procedure:
a) if the compressor is loading, changes to unload run for the time set on P17; during this time the restart is
accepted through the start button I ; once the timer P17 is elapsed, the compressor stops and the display
visualizes the message “OFF”;
b) if the compressor is running unload and P15 in progress is higher than P17, once P15 is elapsed the compressor
stops and the display visualizes the message “OFF”; if P15 in progress is lower than the set on P17, P17 starts;
once P17 is elapsed the compressor stops and the display visualizes the message “OFF”;
c) if the compressor is OFF due to pressure set reached, it stops and the display visualizes the message “OFF”;
d) when the compressor stops and the display visualizes the message “OFF”, the timer P17 starts; during the timer if
the start button I is pushed, the message “ON” starts blinking alternate to the value of pressure or temperature
detected (according the selection of the parameter P01) and the compressor doesn’t start; the compressor will
start when the timer P17 elapses.
In case the compressor stops due to any alarm, the timer P17 starts; during this time if the message is reset and
the start button I is pushed, the message “ON” starts blinking alternate to the value of pressure or temperature
detected (according the selection of the parameter P01) and the compressor will start when the timer P17
elapses.

22.05.13 Rev. 0.5 11

Operation of remote start/stop on IN3
If remote start/stop on input IN3 is enabled (setting P25 = 1), when the compressor is ON by I if the input IN3
opens, the display visualizes the message “StP” and the compressor will start running unload according the same
functions as per pushing stop button 0 ; while the compressor shift from load to unload running by remote
start(stop, the display visualizes the message “StP” alternating the pressure or temperature detected (depending on
setting of parameter P01 = pressure control.

Operation of the load solenoid valve (RL4)

1 ) P15 set as fixed time = 0
When the pressure reaches the stop set, RL4 switches OFF, the display visualizes the pressure and/or
temperature (according pressure control set in the parameter P01) and the timer P15 starts; when P15 is elapsed if
the pressure is still over the start set, the compressor stops; during P15 in progress, if the pressure goes down the
start set, the load solenoid valve RL4 switches ON and the display visualizes the pressure and/or the temperature
while P15 erases.
2) P15 set as variable time = 1
On the first start the compressor works as explained to point 1 above; on the next load run, 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 P15, the
next unload run, P15 will be reduced of 1 minute and so on up to a minimum time of 2 minutes.
The first cycle tx comes to be lower than P15 changed, the next unload run will come back to be counted as the
value set on P15.

Fan operation (RL5 = 1)

When the delta contactor (RL2) is energized, the fan contactor (RL5) is operated according the following procedure:
a) if the air end temperature is equal or higher than set on P26 = RL5 ON;
b) if the air end temperature is lower than set on (P26 – P27) = RL5 OFF.
