Preface
This manual provides detailed instructions for the installation, operation and maintenance of
FES GL Series screw compressor packages. The compressor package will provide optimum
performance if applied to a properly designed refrigeration system. Specific questions
concerning these requirements can be answered by an FES certified representative or factory
personnel. Proper installation, operation and regular maintenance will provide the best and most
dependable equipment life.
GL Series packages are leak tested at the factory and are shipped with a holding charge of dry
nitrogen to prevent contamination from the atmosphere. During installation into the
refrigeration system, it is normally not necessary to leak test the compressor package on site
except when required by prevailing codes or standards. However, prior to charging the system
with refrigerant, the system, including the compressor package, should be evacuated in
compliance with site requirements or other recognized procedures outlined in documents such as
ANSI/IIAR, IIAR Bulletin 110, ASHRAE Handbook "Refrigeration" etc.
To ensure that the compressor is not exposed to liquid carryover in the suction gas, it is very
important to review piping layouts. The compressor is a vapor pump and can be damaged by
liquid refrigerant in the suction gas. Control schemes, accumulators, heat exchangers, defrost
cycles, etc. should be checked to ensure that only dry gas within the operating limits enters the
compressor suction.
The entering vapor temperature to the compressor should be 10°F superheated above the
refrigerant saturated suction temperature to ensure no liquid refrigerant is present in the suction
gas.

SECTION 1 INSTALLATION
Introduction
This section contains information and procedures for installing the GL Series screw compressor
package.
The GL Series screw compressor package is factory assembled, wired, and leak tested. Installation
consists primarily of establishing refrigerant, water and electrical services to the package. Rigging,
installation, field wiring and mounting of customer supplied motors, and field piping is the responsibility
of the contractor and/or customer.

This information, along with the FES contract number, is contained on the data label mounted on the
inside of the control panel door. When parts or service information are needed, the data from this label
should be included with the inquiry. There is a data plate located on the compressor that contains
information pertaining to the design of the compressor.
Job Site Inspection and Damage Claims
Cartons, boxes and all exposed components should be examined upon receipt at the job site. The
packing list should be checked to see that all listed components have been received.
Damage and shortage claims must be made by the consignee and the carrier should be notified
immediately so that an inspection and claim form can be completed. The FES Sales Administration
Department, York PA, should be notified of any damage or shortage claim.
Foundation
GL Series screw compressor packages are shipped mounted on wood skids, which must be removed
prior to installation. Since the screw compressor is internally balanced, no foundation mass is required
except that which is structurally required to handle the package weight. A level mounting surface is
required and the unit should be bolted to this surface after installation. Grouting may be necessary to
achieve satisfactory results. Elevated housekeeping pads are a good practice but are not required.
Manufacturer reserves the right to discontinue, or change at any time, specifications or designs without notice and without incurring obligations.
Document: GL-33
Revision: A
1 Effective: 04-08
Structural steel mounted units require grouting under the entire support base. Foundation floors or
elevated structures should be evaluated to determine that they do not have natural frequencies coincident
with compressor run speed or rotor pass gas pulsation frequencies. This is a separate analysis from
vibration transmission to adjacent structures.
Note: If the package is to be installed on a non-rigid foundation, specific isolation may be required.
Rigging, Moving and Skid Removal
The screw compressor package can be handled by crane or similar lifting device by placing lifting hooks
into the four (4) lifting lugs provided on the package. Adjustments to the rigging will be required to
allow for the package center of gravity, which can vary significantly if no motor is provided on the
package.
The package can be moved by forktruck using forks to push against and under the skids. Under no
circumstances should the forks be used to push against the oil separator, piping, legs, or compressor.
If the compressor package is lifted by crane the skids can be unbolted and removed prior to setting the
compressor on its foundation.
If the package is to be skidded into position the skids can be removed by using a 5 ton jack to lift one
end of the compressor package and unbolting the skid on that end. The skids should then be spread and
the compressor package lowered. Repeat this procedure for the other end.
Initial Installation
After the compressor package is in place it must be leveled by using a reliable bubble level on the
compressor mounting support angles to check both directions. This procedure was followed during the
initial assembly at the factory, and it will ensure the compressor package is properly positioned.
The suction strainer and discharge connection flanges are not to be used for leveling the package.
Factory mounted motors have been aligned, but alignment must be checked at startup.
Motor Mounting and Alignment for Field Mounted Motor
Shimless Motor Mounts
The screw compressor package is shipped with the shimless motor mounts attached to the pre-drilled
support angles.
The compressor hub of the coupling is mounted on the compressor shaft. The remainder of the coupling
is shipped loose.
Block and Shim Style Mounts
The screw compressor package is shipped with the motor support angles welded to the oil separator
support plates. The motor mounting blocks, shims, alignment bars with bolts, tie down bolts, lock
washers, flat washers, and shims are shipped loose. The motor mounting blocks are drilled and tapped.
The compressor hub of the coupling is mounted on the compressor shaft. The remainder of the coupling
is shipped loose.

Figure 1-1: Flexible Disc Spacer Coupling
Required Tools
The following tools are required in addition to common hand tools:
A. Dial indicator, accurate and readable to 0.001 inches, with clamps for attaching the indicator to
the coupling hubs.
B. Micrometer
C. Feeler gauges
D. Torque wrench
E. Metric hex bit socket (6mm, 8mm & 10mm)
Coupling Installation
This compressor package is supplied with a flexible disc style coupling. This is a spacer type coupling
consisting of three pieces, tow hubs and a center member. The center member can be removed and
installed without the need for special tools. The disc design allows for low flexing forces and high
overload capacity. The compressor hub is a unique clamped style design using a B-LOC locking
assembly installed on the I.D. of the hub. This device provides a frictional force on the compressor shaft
and will transmit the torque supplied by the motor. The motor hub uses a conventional key to transmit
torque.
The procedure for installing the coupling is as follows.
A. Clean hub bores and shafts. Remove any nicks or burrs. Measure the bore and shaft diameters
to assure proper fit.
B. The compressor hub has a B-LOC locking assembly installed on the I.D. of the hub. The
device is supplied lightly oiled and ready for installation. When reinstalling a used unit, make
sure that all slits are aligned and the screws, taper, shaft and bore contact areas are lightly
oiled. Do not use Molybdenum Disulfide (e.g., Molykote, Never-Seeze or similar
lubricants) in any Locking Assembly installation.
Document: GL-33
Revision: A
3 Effective: 04-08
C. Install key on motor shaft and install motor hub.
D. Thoroughly clean the compressor shaft (Do not use grease or spray lubricant on the shaft or
on the contact areas of the B-LOC device). Install compressor hub with B-LOC assembly
onto the compressor shaft. Locate compressor hub so the correct “C” dimension is maintained
(Reference Figure/Table 1-2). The B-LOC assembly should be installed such that the
tensioning screws are flush with the face of the hub flange.
E. The procedure for tightening the tension screws must be followed exactly as outlined
below, or serious damage can result. Hand tighten all screws and visually confirm the hub is
aligned correctly. Use torque wrench and set it approximately 5% higher than specified
tightening torque Ts. Tighten locking screws in either a clockwise or counterclockwise
direction using only ¼ turns (i.e. 90°) until ¼ turns can no longer be achieved. Continue to
apply overtorque for two more passes. Reset torque wrench to specified torque Ts and check
all locking screws. No screw should turn at this point, otherwise repeat overtorque for two
more passes.
F. Install center member by inserting bolts from center member side of flange. Be sure that the
flat washers are properly installed on the disc packs. Tighten bolts uniformly until torque Tb is
met.
Document: GL-33
Revision: A
Effective: 04-08 4
Coupling Removal
A. Remove bolts holding the disc packs to the motor and compressor hubs.
B. Loosen the setscrew above keyway on motor hub and slide hub back far enough so the center
member (with disc packs attached) can be removed through the shaft ends. Once the center
member is removed, the motor hub can be removed though the shaft ends.
C. Extreme care must be used when removing the compressor hub. Refer to Figure 1-3 for the
following steps.
D. Remove the tensioning screws from the B-LOC locking assembly. Transfer the required
number of screws into the jacking holes of the clamp collar (Item 1).
E. Some screws will contact the center collar (Item 3) and will only go in half way. Other screws
will go in further and are used to release the inner clamping collar (Item 2).
F. Start by releasing collar (Item 1) by progressively tightening the jacking screws that are in half
way. The screws will appear to be tight after only one pass of tightening without any
noticeable separation of the clamp collar. This is normal – continue to apply torque in a
clockwise or counterclockwise manner until the clamp collar springs loose.
G. Release the center collar (Item 3) by repeating procedure outlined above for item 1. The
screws for this procedure are the ones that screw in deeper.
H. Once the clamping collars are fully released from the center collar, the coupling and B-LOC
assembly can be removed together (There is no need to remove the B-LOC cartridge from the
coupling hub).

C. Refer to Table 1-7 for motor and compressor shaft gap requirements. If the lengths of the
motor and compressor shafts are such that the center member can be removed at the shaft gap
shown in Table 1-7, the motor can be mounted based on the shaft gap dimension. If the center
member cannot be removed with the gap shown, the motor must be positioned so that the
coupling hubs can be moved on their respective shafts to allow for removal of the center member
without moving the compressor or motor. In such cases the shaft gap will be greater than the
dimension shown in Table 1-7. Minimum shaft engagement for the hubs must be at least 90% of
hub length.
D. Check motor height. If the motor is too high relative to the compressor, remove shims as
required. Four alignment brackets with bolts are provided. The brackets should be welded to
the motor support angle as shown in Figure 1-6. The alignment bracket will facilitate
positioning of the motor for angular alignment. All motor assemblies must have permanent
means of jacking the motors into position for vertical alignment.
E. Rough align for both parallel as well as angular alignment by using a dial indicator.
F. Once rough alignment is complete, weld the motor mounting blocks on the motor support
angle. Weld one block at the rear, then weld the diagonally opposite block. Next weld the
other rear block and then the remaining front block. Weld all four sides of the mounting block,
Document: GL-33
Revision: A

welding approximately one inch at the corners. Weld one side at a time in the above sequence
as quickly as possible. The purpose of this procedure is to prevent distortion. Allow to cool to
room temperature. Dowelling of the motor is not required.
G. Remove the tie down bolts and the tube sleeve spacers or shim stock wrapping around the tie
down bolts. Install the tie down bolts again. Final alignment procedure must be performed
before the package is ready for operation.
Note: If shimless motor mounts are used, place motor onto mounts and follow the alignment
procedure only as outlined above. Adjustment of the shimless motor mounts is outlined in the
following section.
Shimless Motor Mounts
Shimless motor mounts are available for all GL Series compressor packages. Mounting is similar to
conventional block motor mounts except that the shimless motor mounts are bolted to the angle, not
welded. Each shimless motor mount has provisions for jacking the motor horizontally and vertically.
Horizontal adjustment is accomplished by turning the lateral adjustment bolts as required.
Vertical adjustment is accomplished by first removing the top hold down nut, and loosening the bottom.
Once this is done, a metric wrench can be applied to the top of the bolt. Turning the bolt clockwise will
raise the motor, while turning the bolt counter-clockwise will lower it. One-quarter turn will raise or
lower the motor foot 0.010 inches.
Note: An extension bar may be required for use on the wrench to exert enough force to raise the
motor.
D. Align the motor so that the total indicator reading (TIR) on the periphery and the face does not
exceed 0.002 inches misalignment. With reference to Figure 1-10, the following applies to all
screw compressor applications.
1. Align the motor first for angular in elevation. This alignment is adjusted with shims to
provide a maximum 0.002 inch TIR at the top.
2. Align the motor next for parallel in elevation. This alignment is also adjusted with shims
and should be a maximum 0.002 inch higher than the compressor.
3. Align the motor angular in plan next.
4. Finally, align the motor parallel in plan.
E. Record the alignment readings.
F. Verify that the distance between the coupling hub faces ("C" from Figure/Table 1-2) is correct.
Also the shaft gap should be checked to be in accordance with Table 1-7.
NOTE: When the motor is field mounted the customer is responsible for aligning the motor as
prescribed on pages 2 through 8. The FES representative will check the final alignment before
starting the compressor package to ensure the motor was aligned properly.

G. Run the compressor at least two hours to allow the package to reach its normal operating
temperature. Stop the compressor and immediately check the alignment (keep the coupling
installed). The motor must be aligned so that the TIR on the periphery and face does not
exceed 0.002 inch with the package at its normal operating temperature. This check will be
done by an authorized FES Service Representative at start up.
H. Install the coupling guard.

Storage and Holding Charge
GL Series compressor packages are shipped with a holding charge of dry nitrogen to prevent
contaminants from entering the package following the factory pressure test and evacuation. Since the
package is sealed, it is suitable for short-term storage before installation. Caution should be exercised
when opening the package to safely release the nitrogen charge.
When packages are stored, they are to be kept in a clean dry location. If packages are to be stored for
prolonged periods of time the package should be checked to be sure a positive nitrogen pressure is
maintained. The factory should be consulted for specific recommendations when extended storage
(greater than two months) is expected.
Care should also be used to protect the microprocessor and sensors from damage during storage.
Compressor Oil
The oil charge shipped with the compressor package was selected to meet the application requirements
as supplied at the time of order. Questions concerning suitability can be answered by referring to FES
Document ENG-5 "FES Refrigeration Oils-Properties and Applications" and Document ENG-6 "FES
Recommended Oil Specifications."
Oil Charge
GL Series compressor packages have sight glasses for observing oil level. The normal fill level is to the
top of the upper sight glass. For separators with two sight glasses, the normal operating level is the
center of the lower sight glass. For separators with three sight glasses, the operating level is the center
of the middle sight glass. There are two methods for adding oil to the oil separator. If the compressor
package has had the refrigerant charge removed, the oil fill can be opened to atmosphere and oil poured
or pumped into the oil separator. If the compressor is charged with refrigerant, a pressure type pump
must be used to add oil. This can be accomplished by attaching a refrigerant duty pressure hose to the
oil charging connection, located on top of the oil separator, and using a pressure type pump to pump oil
into the separator.
Devices used to trap and return oil must be filled with oil prior to compressor package operation. The
same pressure type pump and hose can be used for this.
The compressor package also has an oil level sight glass located near the bottom of the separator on the
discharge end of the package. This sight glass should remain empty during normal operation. If an oil
level is observed during operation, it is an indication of liquid refrigerant carryover or a malfunction in
the line returning oil to the compressor and primary side of the separator.
The approximate oil charge for the compressor packages is shown in Table 1-11 below.

liquid solenoid valve if the receiver level drops below the necessary level to supply the compressor
liquid injection feed requirements.
The second method utilizes a separate liquid injection receiver that has been sized to maintain a liquid
level sufficient to maintain a five-minute supply for compressor oil cooling. This method is illustrated
in Figure 1-13.
The third arrangement uses a receiver with a second liquid injection feed dip tube, located below the
main plant supply dip tube. The compressor will receive a liquid injection supply even after the main
system supply is below its minimum operating level. This arrangement is shown in Figure 1-14.
The proper line size for delivery of the liquid injection supply is very important. Also the liquid
injection supply volume must be adequate. Table 1-15 provides the recommended supply volume and
line sizes. The supply volume is based on a nominal five minutes supply of liquid to the compressor.
The liquid injection oil cooling piping on the compressor package is self contained and needs only to be
connected to a source of high pressure liquid as described in the proceeding paragraphs. The specially
charged thermostatic expansion valve bulb must be installed in thermowell provided on the compressor
discharge (being careful not to damage the connecting capillary tube and sensing bulb). Refer to Figure
1-16 for typical compressor package liquid injection piping.

IntelliSOC™ Liquid Injection Cooling
IntelliSOC™ liquid injection does not require a constant pressure source like a TX valve. IntelliSOC™
provides the same function as a TX valve by only monitoring the compressor discharge temperature.
The control panel will send a 4-20mA signal to the IntelliSOC™ control valve to regulate the discharge
temperature.
Thermosiphon Oil Cooling
Thermosiphon oil cooling utilizes liquid refrigerant from the condenser to remove heat from the oil.
Liquid refrigerant is fed by gravity to the oil cooler where it is vaporized by the warm oil. The
refrigerant vapor returns to the condenser where it is recondensed. The oil heat is rejected directly to the
condenser and therefore requires no external cooling fluid or compressor capacity.
Many variations are possible in constructing a suitable thermosiphon oil cooling system, but the basic
system will always include a liquid refrigerant receiver or reservoir at condensing temperature and
pressure and a shell and tube oil cooler (400 psig DWP shell side and 300 psig tube side). A typical
arrangement for thermosiphon oil cooling is shown in Figure 1-17.
The following are general guidelines based on good engineering practice and experience. Every
installation is unique and therefore will require specific design consideration. It is the responsibility of
the system designer and/or installer to determine how these and other guidelines shall apply.
NOTE: Refer to the FES Engineering Data Sheet for the oil cooler heat of rejection (OCHR) specific
to the applicable model and design operating conditions.
A. The oil cooler must be provided with at least a five minute uninterrupted liquid refrigerant
supply, independent of all other system liquid requirements and regardless of system operating
status. The receiver should be sized such that it will operate at a level of half full at the design
minimum supply volume (see Table 1-18). It is strongly recommended that an independent
auxiliary receiver (as shown in Figure 1-17) be installed to provide liquid refrigerant to the oil
cooler. This vessel should be designed and installed in accordance with ASME, ASHRAE, and
IIAR codes or standards. The auxiliary receiver shall be fitted with a dual relief valve
assembly. A drain connection should be provided at the lowest level in the vessel.

Figure 1-17: Typical Thermosiphon Oil Cooler Piping
B. If isolation valves are installed in the refrigerant lines to or from the oil cooler, then a suitable
pressure relief device must be incorporated so as to safely relieve excess pressure from the
refrigerant-side of the cooler due to hydrostatic pressure, fire, or some other abnormal
condition.
C. Total net positive liquid supply head to the cooler must be sufficient to overcome pressure
losses in the cooler, pipes, valves, and fittings at the design circulation rate. The oil coolers
have been designed such that six to ten feet of head is sufficient for most applications if lines
are properly sized.
NOTE: Excessive high head (over 25 feet) can cause elevated saturation temperatures resulting in
performance loss. On such installations, a throttling valve must be installed on the inlet piping.
D. As a general rule, the liquid supply line from the condenser to the receiver should be sized for a
maximum velocity of 100 ft/min (see Table 1-19). The vapor return line from the receiver to
the condenser should be sized for a maximum pressure loss of 0.2 psid/100ft for R-717 and
0.15 psid/100ft for R-22 (see Table 1-20). The liquid supply line to the thermosiphon oil
cooler and the liquid/vapor return line from the cooler should be sized per Table 1-21.

E. Horizontal liquid supply lines to the thermosiphon coolers shall be properly vented to allow
generated gas to escape, or be arranged to provide sewer flow into the cooler allowing
generated gas to migrate back to the liquid source without obstructing liquid flow.
F. R-717 systems require oil to be regularly drained from the lowest point of each system.
NOTE: The thermostatic valve element is installed in the valve. The element is to be immersed in oil
for at least two minutes prior to exposure to ammonia.
Economizer
The economizer option is not intended for use on part load or unsteady load applications. When applied
to full steady load applications it provides liquid subcooling with little compressor capacity or bhp
penalty. However, below 60% to 70% of compressor capacity the economizer is ineffective and
requires additional controls for operation. The economizer option should not be applied to systems with
widely fluctuating loads or frequent defrost cycles. Two typical economizer systems are illustrated in
Figure 1-22.

CAUTION: Failure to install the panel in accordance with the instructions contained in this guide
will void all warranties for this product, and may result in significant damage to the control panel
and/or the associated equipment. In addition, improper installation may result in serious personal
injury or electrocution.
A. Control Power Wiring
The gauge of the main power wiring to the panel (L1 and 102) must be sized to meet or exceed the
values listed below.
GForce Single
(w/one 1200W oil heater) ....................................................................... #10 AWG
GForce Single
(w/two 1200W oil heaters)...................................................................... #10 AWG
GForce Single
(w/three 1200W oil heaters)...................................................................... #8 AWG
GForce Dual
(w/three 1200W oil heaters)...................................................................... #8 AWG
NOTE: A separate ground wire is also required for each panel and must be at least #12 AWG
copper.
B. Control Power Supply
FES recommends the 115 VAC (+ 10 volts) control power be supplied from a separate control power
transformer sized and installed in accordance with FES Field Wiring and Starter Specification ENG-3.
The neutral of the secondary (115 VAC) side of the control voltage transformer must be grounded. This
ground should run to the same source (ground bus) as the microprocessor.
Never run control wiring in conduit or raceways containing power wiring (i.e. motor supply leads, 3-
phase supplies, etc.)
C. Grounding
On compressor packages, the compressor motor must be grounded per FES Field Wiring and Starter
Specification ENG-3 using a separate copper conductor sized in accordance with all electrical codes
applicable to the job site. Conduit grounds are not acceptable.
The oil pump motor must also be grounded per FES Specification ENG-3 using a separate copper
conductor sized in accordance with all applicable electrical codes. Conduit grounds are not acceptable.
The GForce control panel must be grounded to the same ground or to the voltage transformer using a
separate single uninterrupted copper conductor sized per the power wiring guidelines listed above the
installed per the applicable FES field wiring diagrams. Conduit grounds are not acceptable.
The starter panel and the control voltage transformer must be grounded to a true earth ground (i.e. one
supplied by the utility company). A separate copper conductor is recommended.
NOTE: Refer to Figure 1-23 for the correct grounding method. Figures 1-24 and 1-25 are examples
of typical improper grounding techniques.

D. General
DO NOT use the control panel as a junction box. The only field wires that should enter the panel are
those required for its operation.
DO NOT mount any contactors, switches, or any other inductive loads on or in the control panel.
Any inductive devices (solenoids, contactors, etc.) installed within 15 ft. wire run and connected to the
GForce, must be suppressed with a properly installed Metal Oxide Varistor or MOV (FES Part No. 725-
000330-000). The MOV should be installed directly to the leads of the device and as close to the device
as possible as shown in Figure 1-26.
All AC connections should enter the panel as close to their termination point as possible. AC wiring
must be prevented from making direct or incidental contact with the circuit board or any of the low
voltage connection cables. FES GForce panels are designed with most, if not all, of the control voltage
connections located at the top of the panel. All field wiring should be contained in the top and left
portion of the panel and away from potentially sensitive areas surrounding the General Purpose I/O
board.
Any additional DC devices (e.g. process temperature input) must be connected using shielded cable with
the shield grounded at the device end only.
All pressure transducer should have their shield-wire cut off.

Jordan Valve Liquid Injection Cooling
Compressor models 1025GL, 1210GL, and 1435GL high stage will have either a Liquid Injection Valve
Station similar to Figure 2-3, case 3, (Double Sporlan TX Valve), IntelliSOC™, or will have a high flow
Jordan Valve Liquid Injection Valve Station. The Jordan Valve Liquid Injection Valve Station can be
identified by the name “Jordan Valve” on the actuator nameplate (See Figure 2-8, item 3).
For the Jordan Valve Liquid Injection Valve Station, the liquid solenoid valve (1) is opened when the
compressor is operating. This allows refrigerant liquid feed to the Jordan Valve Temperature Regulator
(2) which controls the compressor discharge and oil temperature. The Jordan Valve (2), has a sensing
bulb (4) inserted into the oil separator in contact with the discharge gas stream. An increase in
temperature will begin to vaporize the liquid fill in the sensing bulb and create a pressure on the
actuator. The actuating pressure will modulate the valve until temperature setpoint is reached. The
Jordan Valve Liquid Injection Valve Station does not require pilot pressure to assist the actuator. Both
valve stations are piped to the H1 (Low Vi) compressor port.

Movement of the slide valve is accomplished by pressurizing one side of the hydraulic piston and
venting the other. The functional description of loading and unloading is described below and illustrated
in Figure 2-9.
Loading: To load the compressor, solenoids Y1 and Y4 are energized. Oil is ported through the
load/unload assembly to port L on the compressor, allowing compressor connection K to vent back to
compressor port G that is at suction pressure.
Unloading: To unload the compressor, solenoids Y2 and Y3 are energized. Oil is ported through the
load/unload assembly to port K on the compressor, allowing compressor connection L to vent back to
compressor port G that is at suction pressure.
Metering valves S5 and S7 adjust the load rate. S7 is a coarse adjustment and is generally maintained 2
turns open from its closed state. S5 is the fine adjustment used to increase or decrease the rate of
loading. S7 can be opened further, if required. Metering valve S6 adjusts the unload rate. The time to
fully load the compressor and the time to fully unload the compressor should be approximately 30-60
seconds. Refer to Figure 2-10 for valve and solenoid locations.
NOTE: Protective cap must be removed to adjust metering valve. Replace cap after adjustment is
made.
Document: GL-2
Revision: F
Effective: 09-10 12
Vi Control: To increase the Vi, solenoid valve Y6 is energized. Oil is ported through the Vi control
block to port M on the compressor, moving the secondary block in the direction of increasing Vi. The
Vi is decreased when solenoid valve Y5 is energized and oil is vented back to the compressor through
port G, allowing the secondary slide to move in the direction of decreasing Vi. Metering valves S24 and
S25 are used to adjust the speed of the secondary slide. These valves should be adjusted so that the rate
to fully increase and decrease the Vi is approximately 45 seconds.

General Information
Introduction
This manual provides detailed information for operating the FES GForce™ compressor control panel installed on
FES G and X Series compressor packages. The FES GForce™ control panel is a computer based system that
continuously monitors the compressor package operation for optimum performance and reliability. Refer to MCP-
209 for general GForce™ Control Panel information including hardware description, historical data collection and
service functions.
The front of the control panel features a 15” full color LCD with a resistive touch screen as the user interface. The
Emergency Stop switch is wired directly to both the Compressor Motor and Oil Pump Motor starters as well as to
an input on the controller. The Emergency Stop switch should not be used during normal operation to stop the
compressor. Power for the panel computer can only be turned off at a breaker inside the panel.
The panel operates in one of three modes: Graphical, Tabular and Classic. Graphical Mode displays an image of
the compressor package. Data is displayed in groups on those images relating to the physical location of the
instruments on the compressor package. Tabular mode displays all of the current instrument readings, digital I/O
states, operating and alarm parameters, alarms, shutdowns and operating modes all on one screen. Classic
Mode displays Suction Pressure, Discharge Pressure, Oil Pressure and Slide Valve Position on analog gauges
with Compressor control buttons and indicators.
Historical Data can be displayed in either tabular or graphical formats. System manuals and drawings are
available on-screen using an embedded PDF viewer.
Operating parameter settings can be saved to and recalled from a removable USB memory device to allow
greater operating flexibility. Software update utilities are included on the panel, program updates are handled
through the USB port.
All of the features and functions of the control panel are available remotely via an Ethernet connection. The
display on the remote computer is an exact duplicate of the local screen.

OPERATING DATA
The Operating Data Frame (Figure 8) shows important analog data and status information so the user can easily
monitor compressor operation. This frame is read-only, data cannot be modified from this frame.
The current control variable is displayed in large numerals just below the communications indicator. Slide valve
load and unload activity is indicated with and arrow graphic showing 'LD' and 'UL'. A graphic representing the
current position of the slide valve and Vi slide(if this is a variable Vi GM machine, Figure 9) is shown to the left
of the Load/Unload status indicator. If the slide valve is prevented from going to its minimum or maximum by a
parameter setting, an indicator on the bar will appear at the limit (Figure 10). While the compressor is operating,
overload conditions are signaled by the appearance of 'Discharge Pressure', 'Low Suction', or 'Motor Current' in
the upper left corner of the frame. During an overload condition, the compressor will automatically limit loading
of the slide valve, or unload the slide valve, if necessary to prevent a shutdown. 'Discharge Pressure' will
appear during a high discharge pressure overload. 'Low Suction' will appear during a low suction pressure
overload, while operating in process temperature control. 'Motor Current' will appear during a high motor
current overload. The first line of data indicates the current capacity control mode and setpoint. The amount of
anti-recycle time remaining for the compressor motor and oil drain timers are displayed next. Elapsed
compressor motor run time and the kWh accumulated by the compressor motor are monitored and displayed.
The factory configured compressor type and model number are next. For Variable Vi compressors the model
number must be set as described in the Variable Vi control section on page 52. The next line shows the
refrigerant used for control panel calculations. The Operating Mode for the compressor is used to display the
current compressor configuration (booster or high stage). The next two items are the Vi control mode and the
type of compressor motor starter, fixed or variable speed. Variable Vi and variable speed Compressor Motor
Drive are available as factory configured options. The status of the Power Fail Reset is shown as the last item in
this group. This is enabled or disabled based on an Operating Parameter. Project and program revision
information is available at the end of the table.

Transducer Calibrations
GEA FES recommends that transducer calibrations be checked at least once annually.
Calibrations must also be verified whenever a GPIO board is service or replaced.
CALIBRATION OF A PRESSURE TRANSDUCER (TD):
1. Ensure that the control panel is in Service mode and the compressor is
Stopped.
2. Touch the desired pressure entry to bring up the calibration keypad.
3. Attach a calibrated gauge (or digital multimeter attachment) to the
appropriate pressure transducer's service valve.
4. Remove the service valve's cover and open the service valve.
5. Read the actual pressure on the gauge or digital multimeter.
7. Enter the actual pressure on the keypad. Minimum and maximum limits
are shown at the bottom of the keypad. If the measured pressure is outside
these limits it is a sign that the transducer is damaged, miswired, or of the
wrong type. Range limits are the current electrical reading ±10% of the
transducer's range.
Figure 16 Calibration Keypad
1. Ensure that the control panel is in Service mode and the compressor is Stopped.
2. Touch the desired temperature entry to bring up the calibration keypad.
3. Locate the desired temperature probe on the package and open its electrical box.
4. Loosen the screw that retains the hold down tab. Rotate the hold down tab out of the way.
5. Slide the temperature probe out of its well and immerse it in an ice water bath with a calibrated
thermometer (or digital multimeter attachment). The ice water should be predominantly ice with just
enough water to cover the Ice. The temperature of the ice and water mixture will approach the triple
point of the water (~32.02°F/0.01°C).
6. Allow both to stabilize in the ice water bath (approximately 3 minutes). Agitate to reduce settling time.
7. Read the actual temperature on the thermometer or digital multimeter. If a calibrated measurement
device is not available, the channel should be calibrated to 32.0°F/0.0°C once the reading has
stabilized.
8. Enter the actual temperature on the keypad. Minimum and maximum limits are shown at the bottom
of the keypad. If the measured temperature is outside of these range limits it is a sign that the

transducer is damaged, miswired, or of the wrong type. Range limits are the current electrical
reading ±40.0F°/22.2C°.
9. Press the [Enter] key.
10. Calibration of this temperature transducer is complete.
In early 2011 a new FES introduced a new slide valve position sensor. This
sensor includes a hardware calibration feature on the position sensor. The
sensor should be calibrated before calibrating the GForce™ Panel. If the
machine is equipped with the older black slide valve position sensor, skip to
GForce™ Control Panel Slide Valve Input Calibration. There are several
versions of this indicator, if the ‘Batch no’ on the label does not begin with ‘1.2’
contact the FES Service Department for assistance.
Notes:
Open load/unload needle valves fully (rate valves) prior to beginning the calibration. Return load/unload needle
valves to their original positions after calibration to ensure proper slide valve movement.
When the indicator is initially powered, the LED indicators will not light up for several seconds, this is normal.
Allow the indicator to warm up for at least one minute prior to starting calibration.
All LED activity in the slide valve indicator will automatically cease approximately five minutes after power was
applied to the indicator. A momentary press of the pushbutton turns LEDs back on and resets the five minute
timer.
Green LED Activity (Valid only after the calibration has been completed):
• Flash at ½ second intervals at slide valve <1%
• ON steady at slide valve >99%
• OFF at slide valve positions between 1% and 99%

calibration is complete
8. The calibration button on the transducer is positioned between the two LEDs. Push and hold the
calibration button for five seconds, both LEDs should be off.
9. Press the pushbutton one time and release it. The red LED will now turn ‘On’, and remain ‘On’, for
approximately 3 seconds while the zero calibration point is stored. DO NOT move the slide valve until the
red LED turns off.
10. Touch the [Load] button and wait about 90 seconds for the slide valve to fully load. (Smaller machines
may not require the full 90 seconds to load.) This process must be completed quickly because the
indicator will abandon the calibration after a period of time. Please note the red LED will flash
approximately ¼ second every 5 seconds indicating the indicator is active and that the calibration has not
been fully completed.
11. Once the compressor is fully loaded, push the calibration button twice, and the red LED will flash rapidly

Suction Pressure Parameters
This group displays all of the parameters associated with Suction Pressure Control. These parameters can also
be found in the Operating and Alarm Parameters frames on the OmniView. The current actual Suction Pressure is
displayed at the top of the window. A red dot icon indicates a parameter that if exceeded will annunciate and shut
down the compressor, the yellow dot icon indicates that there will be an alarm annunciation only.
These parameters can also be found in the ‘SUCTION PRESSURE’ group in the ‘CONTROL/SHUTDOWN
PARAMETERS’ frame of the OmniView window. The compressor is controlled using these parameters when
‘Suction Pressure Control’ is selected.
Two suction pressure setpoints are available for controlling the compressor package. Each of the setpoints has
its own set of parameters for complimentary functions. One of the two sets of control parameters can be selected
by a parameter in the ‘CONTROL’ group or by an optional factory configured digital input.
Suction (1 or 2) Pressure Setpoint is the suction pressure to be maintained when the compressor is in Auto
capacity mode.
Suction (1 or 2) Pressure Upper is the suction pressure where a stopped compressor will automatically startup if
the ‘Low Suction Pres 0=Shtdn/1=Cycle’ Operating Parameter is set to ‘1’ (Cycle). If it is set to ‘0’ (Shutdown),
this parameter is not used
Suction (1 or 2) Pressure Lower is the suction pressure where a running compressor will automatically stop. If
the ‘Low Suction Pres 0=Shutdown/1=Cycle’ Operating Parameter is set to ‘0’ (Shutdown), a shutdown will be
annunciated. If it is set to ‘1’ (Cycle), it will cycle off and re-start if the suction pressure rises above the Suction
Pressure Upper Operating Parameter. See 'Low Suction Pressure' Shutdown.

Control Selection Parameters
This group allows the operator to select the mode of capacity control for the compressor and to set other values
relating to capacity control.
These parameters can also be found in the ‘CONTROL’ group in the ‘CONTROL/SHUTDOWN PARAMETERS’
frame of the OmniView window. The configuration of this window may change based on factory configuration and
operator selections. Some parameters in the OmniView group may be grayed out based on other selections
within the group, these parameters are not needed for the selected mode of operation.
Control Mode 0=SP/1=T/2=DI/3=SV/4=DP determines whether the compressor controls capacity based on
suction pressure (0), process temperature (1) or discharge pressure (4). Optionally, a factory-configured digital
input (2) (Pressure/Temperature Input) may be used to make the selection between suction pressure and
process temperature control. The selection for Remote Slide Valve control (3) Discharge Pressure control (4) are
factory configured options. In Figure 29 the Discharge Pressure Control option has not been enabled and is
shown grayed-out.
Control Mode Point 0=DI/1=PNT1/2=PNT2 determines which set of Suction Pressure, Process Temperature or
Discharge Pressure Parameters is used to control capacity. An entry of 1 Selects Suction Pressure/Process
Temp/Discharge Pressure 1 Parameters. An entry of 2 Selects Suction Pressure/Process Temp/Discharge
Pressure 2 Parameters. Optionally, a factory-configured digital input (PNT1/PNT2 Input) may be used to make the
selection (0). This input selects Setpoint 1 when de-energized and Setpoint 2 when energized.
Capacity Control Direction 0=Normal/1=Reverse to reverse capacity control operation including VFD PID
control. Typically set to 0 (Normal) for Suction Pressure/Process Temperature Control and set to 1(Reverse) for
Discharge Pressure Control.
Capacity Load/Unload Period sets the maximum width of a capacity control pulse. All proportional load or

Slide Valve Position Minimum prevents the compressor slide valve from unloading below this value when in
Auto capacity mode.
Slide Valve Position Maximum prevents the compressor slide valve from loading above this value when in Auto
capacity mode.
Load Limit 0=None/1=Pulse/2=SP/3=SV selects the parameters used for Load Pulse Limiting. ‘Pulse’ limiting
allows the operator to enter the maximum load pulse applied to the compressor during pulldown. ‘SP’ or ‘Ramp to
Suction Setpoint’ limiting limits loading to bring the Suction pressure down at a rate determined by the operator.
‘SV’ or ‘Ramp to Maximum Slide Valve’ sets the amount of time that the compressor will take to reach a fully
loaded condition.
Unload Slide Valve Before Stop 0=No/1=Yes will try to unload the slide valve when a stop command is issued
before stopping the compressor. Hitting the stopped button when the compressor is this state, will abort the
process. If the slide valve doesn’t unload in 5 minutes see ‘Compressor Slide Valve Unload’ shutdown.
Max Load Pulse During Pulldown displayed only when the ‘Ld Limit’ parameter is set to ‘1’ for Pulse Limiting.
This parameter sets the maximum load pulse that can be issued during Load Limiting. Once Load Limiting is
inactive, the compressor returns to normal loading. To disable Load Limiting entirely, set this parameter to the
same value entered into the Capacity Load/Unload Period Operating Parameter. In addition, set the Allow
Normal Loading? 0=No/1=Yes Operating Parameter to 1 (Yes), and set the Allow Normal Loading After % to 0%.
Allow Normal Loading? 0=No/1=Yes Displayed only when the ‘Ld Limit’ parameter is set to ‘1’ for Pulse Limiting.
This parameter forces the compressor to remain in Load Limiting, regardless of slide valve position, with a ‘0’ (No)
entry. With a ‘1’ (Yes) entry, Load Limiting is active until the slide valve position exceeds the ‘Allow Normal
Loading After’ operating parameter.
Allow Normal Loading After displayed only when the ‘Ld Limit’ parameter is set to ‘1’ for Pulse Limiting. This
parameter sets the slide valve position where Load Limiting is disabled if the Allow Normal Loading? 0=No/1=Yes
Operating Parameter is set to ‘1’ (Yes). If Allow Normal Loading? 0=No/1=Yes is set to 0 (No), this parameter is
not used.
Ramp to Suction Setpoint per Min displayed only when the ‘Ld Limit’ parameter is set to ‘2’ for Ramp to Suction
Setpoint Limiting. This parameter sets the rate at which the Suction Setpoint is reduced from the Suction Pressure
measured at startup, down to the Suction Pressure Setpoint when ‘Ramp to Suction Setpoint’ is selected. The
rate is set in pressure units per minute.
Ramp to Max Slide Valve Over displayed only when the ‘Ld Limit’ parameter is set to ‘3’ for Ramp to Slide Valve
Limiting. This parameter set the amount of time that it takes for the slide valve to reach the fully loaded position.
Time is set in minutes.
Booster/High Stage, 0=Bstr/1=HS/2=DI determines the operating mode of the compressor. This parameter is
displayed for GM, GS, and GL/GLX swing (booster/high stage) compressor packages. Setting this parameter to a
‘0’ configures the compressor for booster operation. Setting this parameter to a ‘1’ configures the compressor for
high stage operation. Setting the parameter to a ‘2’ configures the panel to examine the state of an input module
to determine the compressors operating mode. The input module is an option that must be factory configured. It
is used to alter oil pump operation for swing applications without requiring the operator to change this parameter.
Remote Mode Control Setpoint 0=Control Parameter / 1=Communications determines if the setpoints for the
compressor will be based on operating parameters or values received from the sequencer. Communications
should only be used when using a GForce system panel with compressor sequencing.

IntelliSOC Valve Control Parameters
Discharge Temperature Setpoint - This parameter is the Compressor Discharge Temperature that the user
desires to maintain. As the Compressor Discharge Temperature rises above this value the IntelliSOC™
Valve will be opened more, as the Compressor Discharge Temperature drops below this value, the
IntelliSOC™ Valve will be closed more. Range is 120ºF to 175ºF with a default value of 150ºF. Except for
GL/GLX compressors in applications using refrigerants other than R717, the minimum value for the setpoint is
150ºF.
Minimum Position For Valve - this is the minimum position that the PID will close the IntelliSOC™ valve.
Range is 0.0 to 100.0%.
Proportional Constant - This parameter represents the controller gain and is defined as the ratio of the
measurement change to a corresponding change in output. This constant determines the overall
response of the PID equation because it is used by all portions of the equation (including reset and rate
gain constants). Initially, before adjusting to meet system conditions, this value should be set to 50.0.
Range is 0.0 to 500.0.
Integral Constant - This parameter represents the reset gain and determines the gain as a function of
distance from the setpoint and the amount of time the error has existed. The reset response is simply the
error multiplied by the time interval that the error has existed. The area under the curve forms the reset
(integral) gain portion of the equation. Please note that the PID reset gain has an inverse relationship to
the speed of control (making the PID integral constant larger will slow the overall system response).
Initially, before adjusting to meet system conditions, this value should be set at 85.0. Range is 0.0 to
500.0
Derivative Constant - This parameter represents the rate gain and determines the system response by
examining the slope of the error signal. If the slope of the error signal is constant, the rate gain
contribution to the overall output will be zero. A rapid change in the error signal will produce a
corresponding change in rate gain. In this way, the rate gain can be used to “anticipate” what the error
will be at some future time. This anticipation makes the rate gain particularly useful in dampening the
system to control oscillations caused by sudden dramatic changes in the error signal. Setting the
derivative gain to small values will minimize the effect of the derivative gain and the systems ability to
react to sudden changes in the error signal. Setting the rate (derivative) gain too large can actually
contribute to oscillations in the system. Initially, before adjusting to meet system conditions, this value
should be set at 1. Range is 0.0 to 30.0.
Test/Manual Mode Position - Sets the “Test” or manually controlled position of the IntelliSOC™ Valve.
Range is 0.0 to 100.0%
Calibrate Time Before Valve Bleed - This is the time required by the IntelliSOC™ valve to achieve the
fully unloaded position before being allowed to open to the minimum position. Typical setting for this
parameter is 30.0 seconds. Range is 5.0 to 90.0 seconds.

Demand Metering Ratio should be set to the kW (see calculation below) that will be consumed by the motor at
the maximum current transformer output. This should take into account nominal line voltage and average power
factor. For example, consider a situation where a Maximum Motor Current setting of 500A is used, with a 485V

nominal line voltage and a 0.7 average power factor. The kW consumed by the motor at the maximum current
transformer output would be calculated as follows.
kilowatt hours Consumed is a digital kWh meter that accumulates energy used while the compressor motor
operates. This entry can be zeroed by the operator and examined later, yielding the energy consumed by this
compressor over the interval.
Please note that based on the formula, there is no adjustment made for the changes in line voltage or power
factor. Now that more accurate monitoring of power usage is required in most situations an alternative is
available.
If the motor starter/VFD is equipped with a 4-20mA output that can be configured to send the real-time kW
demand, the GForce™ Control panel can be configured(at the factory) to use this value. Both the kW demand
and the accumulated kWh are based on this input. When this option is used, the ‘Demand Metering Ratio’
parameter is not displayed. Please contact FES if this option is required.

These parameters can also be found in the ‘SLIDE VALVE OUTPUT’ group in the ‘CONTROL/SHUTDOWN
PARAMETERS’ frame of the OmniView window.
Slide Valve Output #x On Position - determines the On position for the Slide Valve Output. If On > Off, then
the output will be de-energized until the actual slide valve position exceeds the On parameter, at which point it will
be energized. It will remain energized until the actual slide valve position falls below the Off parameter. If Off >
On, then the output will be energized until the actual slide valve position exceeds the Off parameter, at which
point it will be de-energized. It will remain de-energized until the actual slide valve position falls below the On
parameter.
Slide Valve Output #x Off Position - co-ordinates with the parameter above for the described operation.
As shown in the example Slide Valve Output #1 would be on below 20% slide valve and would be off above 25%
slide valve. Slide Valve Output #2 would be on above 75% slide valve and off below 70% slide valve. It is
recommended that the two setpoints for each output be at least a few tenths apart to prevent output chatter.

Movement of the compressor slide valve and the resulting change in refrigeration capacity is done via a time-

The Control Mode Operating Parameter determines whether the compressor controls capacity based on suction
pressure, or process temperature (control variable). Additionally, the Control Point Operating Parameter allows
the operator to select between two setpoints, dead bands, and proportional bands.
The Capacity Control algorithms determine the proper load or unload pulse width based on the relationship shown
above. If the control variable is greater than (setpoint + 1/2 dead band + proportional band), then a continuous
load pulse will be used to move the slide valve. Conversely, a continuous unload pulse will be used if the control
variable is less than (setpoint - 1/2 dead band - proportional band).
Proportional loading takes place when control variable is greater than (setpoint + 1/2 dead band), but less than
(setpoint + 1/2 dead band + proportional band). Proportional unloading occurs when the control variable is less
than (setpoint - 1/2 dead band), but greater than (setpoint - 1/2 dead band - proportional band).
If the control variable is only slightly above or below the setpoint (within setpoint + 1/2 dead band), no load or

In Suction Pressure Control Mode, the GForce™ monitors Discharge Pressure and Motor Current to make
adjustments to the basic capacity control scheme. In Process Temperature Control Mode a Low Suction Pressure

Figure 46 Example Low Suction Pressure Overload during Process Temperature Control
The Low Suction Pressure Overload is a mechanism to unload the compressor to avoid extremely low suction
pressures during Process Temperature Control Mode. When this overload is active, the message 'Ld Lim – Low
Suc' will appear in the upper left of the OPERATING DATA frame in the OmniView and the lower left corner of the
Classic View.
For an example, a compact water-chilling system will be analyzed. R-717(ammonia) will be used as the
refrigerant.
The Process Temperature Low Suction Operating Parameter is set to the minimum pressure that the system can
tolerate, which is typically the pressure equivalent of the process fluid's freezing point. Pressure drop between
the heat exchanger and the compressor package must be considered if relevant. If the suction pressure drops
below this parameter, the compressor will be shutdown. Since the example application's process fluid is water
and the system is compact, 50.0 PSIG was chosen as the pressure equivalent to the water's freezing point using
R-717.
The Process Temperature Prop Band Operating Parameter is typically set slightly above the process fluid's
freezing point, causing the compressor to unload as the suction pressure drops close to the pressure equivalent
of the freezing point. This unloading is proportional between the Process Temperature Prop Band and Low
Suction Operating Parameters. In the example, a 5.0 PSI proportional unload band was chosen so the Process
Temperature Prop Band Operating Parameter was set to 55.0 PSIG.
As the compressor's suction pressure nears the Process Temperature Prop Band Operating Parameter,
measures need be taken to slow loading of the compressor. Once the suction pressure drops below the Process
Temperature Load Adjust Operating Parameter, the intended load pulses will be proportionally reduced.
Typically, the load adjustment (load limiting) band should be equal to or greater than the proportional unload
band, which was chosen to be 5.0 PSI. For the example, the Process Temperature Load Adjust Operating
Parameter was set to 60.0 PSIG.
‘Load Adjust Parameter’ must be greater than ‘Prop Band Parameter’ and ‘Prop Band Parameter’ must be greater
than ‘Low Suction Parameter’. If these requires aren’t met than a Low Suction Overload will always be triggered.

The Discharge Pressure Overload is a mechanism to unload a compressor experiencing high discharge pressure,
in order to avoid a shutdown. When this overload is active, the message Overld – Hi Disch' will appear in the
upper left of the OPERATING DATA frame in the OmniView and the lower left corner of the Classic View.
At Startup, the compressor's discharge pressure must be at least 10.0 PSI lower than the High Discharge
Pressure Shutdown Parameter, or the 'High Discharge Pressure' shutdown will occur immediately.
When in Run mode, the control panel monitors the compressor's discharge pressure continuously. A proportional
unload band is established between the Discharge Pressure Maximum and Discharge Pressure Prop Band
Operating Parameters (225.0 PSI and 10.0 PSI respectively for this example). If actual discharge pressure rises
into the proportional unload band, the compressor will be unloaded in an attempt to avoid the 'High Discharge
Pressure' Shutdown.
‘Discharge Pressure Prop Band’ must be greater than 0. If ‘Discharge Pressure Prop Band’ is 0 then the
compressor won’t try to unload when approaching the High Discharge Pressure Shutdown.

This example applies only to fixed speed drive, if the machine is equipped with a variable speed drive please refer

Motor Current Lower is set to the nameplate FLA. In this example 484A.
Operating scenario:
1. Motor current increases above the ‘Motor Current Lower’ parameter. The length of the load pulses will be
limited based upon how far the motor current is above the ‘Motor Current Lower’ parameter. This causes
the slide valve to load slowly in an effort to avoid a high motor current shutdown. ‘Ld Lim - Mtr Cur’ load

2. If motor current drops back below the ‘Motor Current Lower’ parameter normal capacity control resumes.
Continue at step 9.
3. If motor current continues to rise above the ‘Motor Current Upper’ minus ‘Motor Current Upper Deadband’
parameters, loading of the compressor is stopped. ‘Overld - Mtr Cur’ overload message is shown on the
display.
4. If the motor current rises above the ‘Motor Current Upper’, the unload solenoid will be energized
continuously in an attempt to reduce the motor current.
5. If the motor current remains above the ‘Motor Current Upper’ for thirty continuous seconds, a ‘High Motor
Current’ shutdown occurs. Continue at step 9.
6. When the motor current is reduced below the ‘Motor Current Upper’, the unload pulses are terminated
and loading is not permitted. The ‘Ld Lim - Mtr Cur’ load limiting message replaces ‘Overld - Mtr Cur’
message on the display.
7. When the motor current drops below ‘Motor Current Upper’ minus ‘Motor Current Upper Deadband’
parameters and stays above the ‘Motor Current Lower’ parameter, limited loading is allowed to achieve
the required capacity.
8. When motor current drops back below the ‘Motor Current Lower’ parameter, normal capacity control
resumes.
9. The overload situation is terminated and ‘Overld - Mtr Cur’ overload message is removed from the

pump off cycles, the [Oil Pump] button will be flashing at a 1.5 second on/off rate. When the compressor has been
running for 15 seconds, the low oil pressure limit is lowered to discharge pressure + 7.3 psi. If the oil pressure
falls below Discharge Pressure + 7.3 psi for greater than six seconds, a ‘Low Oil Pressure’ shutdown will be
issued.
A ‘High Oil Pressure’ shutdown will be issued immediately if the oil pressure exceeds discharge pressure + 72.5
psi and the compressor has been running at least thirty seconds.
Note 1
After a ninety second delay on startup, the pressure drop across the Oil Filter must be less than 20 psi or a
‘Hi Oil Filter Differential’ shutdown will occur after thirty seconds. There is also an alarm for this condition that is
enabled two minutes after startup. The oil pump will continue to run as long as the compressor is running.
GM SERIES
The GM series can be configured with or without an external oil pump. The configuration of the oil pump is based
upon the “Oil Pump Selection” Operating Parameter located under the Control heading. Setting this parameter to
a ‘0’ configures the compressor without an external oil pump. Setting this parameter to a ‘1’ configures the
compressor with an external oil pump. Setting this parameter to a ‘3’ configures the compressor with both an
internal and an external oil pump. Setting the parameter to a ‘2’ configures the panel to examine the state of an
input module to determine the oil pump selection. The input module is an option that must be factory configured
and it is used to alter oil pump operation for swing applications without requiring the operator to have access to
change parameters to affect this selection. The input module is typically wired to a selector switch located on the
door of the panel to simplify the internal / external oil pump - high stage/booster modes respectively.
When the GM series compressor is equipped with an external oil pump, the oil pump is started and will continue
to run as long as the compressor is running. Valid oil pressure is established before the compressor is started. If
at least 14.5 psi of oil pressure is not established in eight seconds the oil pump will be stopped for ten seconds.
The pump will be restarted two additional times for eight seconds with ten second pauses between. If the

pressure is still not achieved after the last (3 ) pump start, a “Low Oil Press – Startup” shutdown will occur. Note:
During the pump off cycles, the [Oil Pump] button will be flashing at a 1.5 second on/off rate. When the
compressor has been running for fifteen seconds, the low oil pressure limit is lowered to discharge + 7.3 psi. If
the oil pressure falls below discharge pressure + 7.3 psi for longer than six seconds a ‘Low Oil Pressure’
shutdown will be issued. If the Inlet Oil Pressure exceeds discharge pressure + 58.0 psi after a thirty second
delay at startup, a ‘High Oil Pressure’ shutdown will occur immediately.
When the GM series compressor is not equipped with an external oil pump, the compressor is permitted to start
without first establishing oil pressure. When the compressor has been running for thirty seconds, the inlet oil
pressure to the compressor must exceed discharge pressure - 36.75 psi. If the oil pressure falls below discharge
pressure – 36.75 psi for longer than six seconds, a ‘Low Oil Pressure’ shutdown will occur. There is no high inlet
oil pressure failure for GM series compressors without an external oil pump.

When the GS series compressor is not equipped with an oil pump, the compressor is permitted to start without
first establishing oil pressure. When the compressor has been running for fifteen seconds, the inlet oil pressure
sensed at the compressor must exceed discharge pressure – 43.5 psi. The 43.5 psi limit includes drops through
the strainer, oil filter and interconnecting piping. If the total pressure drop across these components exceeds 43.5

Compressor Slide Valve Control
Both the Slide Valve Load and Slide Valve Unload outputs from the GForce™ control panel are connected to dual
solenoid valves. The Slide Valve Load output is connected to solenoids Y1 and Y4. The Slide Valve Unload
output is connected to solenoids Y2 and Y3. Two additional solenoids are added on variable Vi compressors to
control the Vi slide. The Vi slide of a variable Vi compressor is loaded by energizing solenoid Y5 and unloaded by
energizing solenoid Y6. De-energizing both Y5 and Y6 lock the Vi slide in its’ current position.
The operation of the slide valve outputs when the compressor is not running is dependent on the type of
compressor. If the compressor is a GL/GLX series, both primary and Vi slide valve outputs will be de-energized
whenever the compressor is not running. For a GM and GS series compressor, the presence or absence of the
external oil pump will determine how the slide valve outputs are controlled. If the GM or GS series compressor
has an external oil pump or a combination of internal and external oil pumps, the control of the slide valve outputs
is identical to that of the GL/GLX series machines. For GM and GS series not equipped with an external oil
pump, both slide valve outputs will be energized when the compressor is not running if the slide valve reading
exceeds 5%. Both outputs are energized to allow the pressure on either side of the slide valve piston to equalize
thus allowing the internal spring in the compressor to unload the machine.

Control
Compressor Variable Vi Control
G and X Series compressors offer continuous variable Vi control that is designed specifically for the model of
compressor that is being controlled. The variable Vi mechanism is unique to each compressor family (GL, GLX,
GM or GS) so different control philosophies are required for each compressor family. The compressor family is
fixed during the factory configuration, the specific compressor model must be set using the Operating Parameter
‘VARIABLE Vi CONTROL, Compressor Model Selection’ .
The Vi control of the GL/GLX Series compressor is accomplished using two slides that operate in tandem with
one-another to simultaneously maintain the desired Vi and capacity of the compressor. To achieve the desired Vi
Setting, the primary slide is moved initially followed by the Vi slide. The Vi position is infinitely variable (not
stepped) using the two slides with the movement of the slides determined by the current “Vi Mode” of the
compressor. The Vi Mode (1, 2 or 3) determines which slide is being moved to control capacity and which slide is
being used to achieve the desired Vi setting. The Vi Mode and Current Vi are displayed on the bottom line of the
Operating Data frame of the OminView.
Vi Mode #1
The primary slide is moved to control the capacity of the machine and the Vi slide is kept unloaded. The
Vi of the compressor in Vi Mode #1 is therefore a function of the movement of the primary slide in order to
maintain the desired suction pressure / process temperature setpoint. The primary slide is used to control
the capacity of the machine from completely unloaded up to a position where the optimum Vi for the
operating conditions is located. This positon is displayed as “Vi SCALC” in the Operating Data Display.
Loading the primary slide beyond the value of Vi SCALC increases the Vi of the compressor beyond the
calculated Vi Setting. If the machine is attempting to load (increase capacity) and the primary slide
reading approaches the value of Vi SCALC, the primary slide will be locked at the value of Vi SCALC and
a 2 second transition timer is started. The 2 second timer will only time out when the load solenoid output
is energized, therefore; the actual duration of the transition timer is inversely proportional to the duration
of the load pulses. Continous load signals will transtion from Vi Mode #1 to Vi Mode #2 in 2 seconds.
Short load pulses will take significantly longer to transition because the time can only accumulate based
on the duration of the load pulses. When the requests to load the compressor accumulate 2 seconds of
load pulses, the timer will elapse and the Vi Mode will transition from Mode #1 to Vi Mode #2. If any type
of unload signal is generated interupting the 2 second time transition timer, the unload signals will be
issued and the 2 second timer will be reset.
Vi Mode #2
The primary slide is programmed to track the value of Vi SCALC and the Vi slide is adjusted to maintain
the suction pressure / process temperature setting. The value of Vi SCALC is constantly being
recalculated based on the current operating conditions. While in Vi mode #2, the primary slide will only
be moved to correct for changes in the value of Vi SCALC. There is no positional feedback from the Vi
slide, subsequently, there is no value for the Vi slide valve position for GL/GLX Series compressors. In Vi
Mode #2, the capacity of the compressor lies between the value of SCALC and 100% and will be a
calculated value based on the following formula:
When the machine is attempting to load (increase capacity) and has initially entered Vi Mode #2 from Vi
mode #1, a 30 second timer is started. This 30 second timer will only time out while the load solenoid
output is energized, therefore; the actual duration of the transition timer is inversely proportional to the
duration of the load signals. Continous load signals will transtion from Vi Mode #2 to Vi Mode #3 in thirty

Revision: Q

Control
seconds. Short load pulses will take a proportionally longer time to transition because the timer is only
permitted to time for the duration of each load pulse. The slide valve reading will increase proportionally
as this thirty second transition timer accumulates. With this method, the accumulating load signals are
used to alter the displayed slide valve reading from the value of SCALC to 100%. The slide valve reading
will be approaching 99.9% just as the equivalent of thirty seconds of loading is accumulated. When the
timer has accumulated the full thirty seconds, the Vi Mode will transition from Mode #2 to Vi Mode #3
locking the machine at 100%.
An unload signal that interupts the thirty second Vi Mode #2 to Vi Mode #3 transition timer will
automatically set the Mode #2 to Mode #1 transition timer with the equivalent amount of time that the
compressor has been loading in Mode #2. This method allows the microprocessor to determine a relative
“position” for the Vi slide based on the duration of load/unload pulses. For example: If the compressor
has accumulated twelve seconds of Load pulses in Vi Mode #2, and begins unloading, twelve seconds of
unload pulses must accumulate prior to returning toVi Mode #1. In this example the slide valve reading
would be displayed as 40% of the difference between SCALC and 100% when the switch to unloading
occurred using the formula above.
Similarly, if the machine is attempting to unload (decrease capacity) and has initially entered Mode #2
from Mode #3, a thirty second unload timer is also started. This thirty second timer will only time out while
the unload solenoid output is energized, therefore; the actual duration of the transition timer is inversely
proportional to the duration of the unload signals. If a request to unload the compressor continues for
thirty continuous seconds, the Vi Mode will transition to Vi Mode #1. A load signal that interupts the thirty
second Vi Mode #2 to Vi Mode #1 transition timer will automatically set the Mode #2 to Mode #3 transition
timer with the equivalent amount of time that the compressor has been unloading. This method allows
the microprocessor to determine a relative “position” for the Vi slide based on the duration of load/unload
pulses. For example: If the compressor has accumulated 18 seconds of Unload pulses in Vi Mode #2,
and begins loading, 18 seconds of load pulses must accumulate prior to returning to Vi Mode #3. The
slide valve position that is displayed when transitioning from Mode #2 to Mode #1 is directly proportional
to the remaining time on the transition timer using the following formula.
This formula is different than the one used to transition between Modes #2 and Mode #3 because the
slide is operating in the opposite direction. The longer the Vi slide is loaded/unloaded in Vi Mode #2, the
equivalent time must elapse before the Vi mode can return to the previous Vi Mode. This sequence of
operation is used to approximate the operation of a conventional slide valve assembly for a GL/GLX
Series Variable Vi compressor.
Vi Mode #3
The primary slide continues to track the value of Vi SCALC and the Vi slide is placed in load to force the
compressor to maximum capacity. This arrangement ensures the maximum capacity from the
compressor while maintaining the optimum Vi setting for the current operating conditions. The capacity of
the compressor will always be displayed as 100% while operating in Vi Mode #3. In Vi Mode #3, a 1
second timer will be started when the capacity control generates an unload signal to decrease the
capacity of the compressor. When the unload signal accumulates the equivalent of 1 second of unload
pulsess, the Vi Mode will transition to Vi Mode #2. The Vi Mode will bypass the 1 second time delay and
transition to Mode #2 immediately if the capacity control is placed in Manual Unload mode.

IntelliSOC™ Discharge Temperature Control
An electronic modulating valve is provided to control the Oil Cooling. The position of the valve is based on the
Discharge Temperature. The desired Discharge Temperature is an operator-adjustable parameter.
The valve is designed to recalibrate itself when it registers 4mA for one second. This calibration is necessary
on a periodic basis to provide accurate readout information. The program is configured to unload the valve to
4mA when the compressor shuts off. After a delay to assure the valve has reached the fully unloaded position,
the valve will resort to a new minimum position, allowing it to open slightly to avert trapping liquid between the
valve and the shutoff solenoid.
The modulating valve is held closed for 1.5 seconds after the shutoff solenoid is energized to allow pressure to
build against the control valve.

General Information
Introduction
This section provides detailed information on the FES GForce™ compressor control panel hardware, historical
data logging, on-line documentation and service features. Refer to the ‘GForce™ Operations Manual’ section for
the operation of specific compressor models.
The front of the control panel features a fifteen inch full color LCD with a resistive touch screen as the user
interface. The Emergency Stop switch is wired directly to the Compressor Motor starter as well as to an input on
the controller. The Emergency Stop switch should not be used during normal operation to stop the compressor.
Power for the panel computer can only be turned off at a breaker inside the panel.
The panel operates in two tabular display modes. This screen displays all of the current instrument readings,
digital I/O states, operating and alarm parameters, alarms, shutdowns and operating modes all on one screen.
Historical Data can be displayed in either tabular or graphical formats. System manuals and drawings are
available on-screen using an embedded PDF viewer.
Operating parameter settings can be saved to and recalled from a removable USB memory device to allow
greater operating flexibility. Software update utilities are included on the panel, program updates are handled
through the USB port.
All of the features and functions of the control panel are available remotely via an Ethernet connection. The
display on the remote computer is an exact duplicate of the local screen.

Hardware
Hardware Overview
Touch Screen
The touch screen is the user interface to the control panel. It is protected with a hard-coated polyester overlay for
abrasion and chemical resistance. It may be cleaned with a cloth or towel and most commercial glass and surface
cleaners.
Emergency Stop
The Emergency Stop switch is a push to stop, twist to release switch. When activated it interrupts power to the
compressor motor starter output. A shutdown annunciation is also generated.
Processor Assembly
The processor assembly is mounted on the inside of the
enclosure door. USB and Ethernet ports are available at
the top of the assembly. Components inside this assembly
are not serviceable in the field. The entire assembly may
be removed by disconnecting the power and
communications cables and removing the six nuts holding
it in place. Slots are provided on the mounting bracket that
allow the top two nuts to be loosened but left in place. The
polyester overlay is not attached to the processor assembly
so the environmental seal of the enclosure is not affected if
changing out the processor assembly is ever required.
Jumper J1 is used for firmware updates to the General Purpose I/O Board,
when the connector is not in use the right two pins must be jumpered to
enable digital I/O rack function.
Switch SW1 will reset the microcontroller on the General Purpose I/O
board, all outputs will be turned off and communications to the Processor
Assembly will be interrupted.
Test Points
Test points are provided to aid in troubleshooting. Most of these are DC voltages and can be used to narrow
down the source of a problem.

Hardware
Analog Inputs
The 725-06319C-001 General Purpose I/O Board has sixteen channels of
analog input. The factory-configured program defines the purpose and
scaling for each of these inputs. Each input has jumpers to make it
electrically compatible with 0-5V/1-5V, 4-20mA, and ICTD (integrated-circuit
temperature device) signals. Inputs can be factory configured to accept 0-5V,
0-20mA or 0-24mA signals in addition to standard 1-5V or 4-20 mA ranges.
The inputs can tolerate excursions up to 24VDC above and below ground
without generating erroneous readings. If the input signal goes above
5.00V(20mA) or below 0V a fault flag is set and an alarm is annunciated.
Test points are provided to monitor the inputs to the analog to digital
converter. These are always voltage readings. To convert a 4-20mA signal to
voltage multiply the current by 250 ohms.
GPIO Boards 725-05045C-001 and 725-06200C-001 have a set of jumpers for channels
13 through 16 to accommodate ICTDs scaled -50°C to +150°C(-58°F to +302°F). When
scaling an ICTD for this range the jumper for the desired channel on J7 must be set to
‘ICTD OR VOLTAGE’ and the jumper on J8 must be set to ‘-50 TO +150 ICTD’. If the
channel is used for a full range ICTD, 4-20 mA transducer or Voltage Output transducer
J8 must be set to ‘VOLTAGE ICTD OR 4-20 mA’. Increased resolution of the ADC on
725-06319C-001 eliminated the need for these jumpers. If the Process Temperature
option is used channel 16 is configured as a -50°C to +150°C ICTD.

Hardware
Analog Overcurrent Reset
The analog over current circuitry is located on the lower left side of the
processor board. LED5 in the lower right corner of the board glows green
normally, LED6 should be off. If excessive current is drawn by a sensor
connected to P5 or P6, the analog over current circuitry will interrupt the
+24VDC supplied to the sensors and LED5 will go off and LED6 will glow
red. If the analog over current circuit is tripped, the user should examine
the analog sensors and related wiring for shorts. Once the fault has been
discovered, press the Analog Overcurrent Reset button SW2. If the fault
has been removed, LED 6 will go off and LED5 will again glow green.
Analog Outputs
GPIO Board II 725-06319C-001.There are up to twelve available channels of
analog output. They may be added in groups of four outputs. The factory-
configuration defines the purpose and scaling for each these outputs. For a
specific application, these outputs may be used to control a compressor motor
VFD, a variable speed fan, or modulate a control valve. In addition to the software
configuration, optional hardware components must be installed to use the analog
outputs. 4-20mA Output Cards (FES part number 725-06320C-001) may be
installed in one or more of the three available locations on the GPIO Board II. The
example shows a single output card installed. (This is equivalent to a 725-05045C-
001 or 725-06200C-001 GPIO board with four AD420AN chips installed.) A
connector is included on each output card. On each card, jumper block J1
determines the power source for the DACs. Both halves of J1 must be moved
together. With J1 in the lower position, the GForce™ Panel’s +24VDC power
supply will energize the 4-20mA current loop (all four channels). External devices
connected using this configuration must have fully differential inputs (not
referenced to ground). If ground isolation is necessary, move both halves of J1 to
the upper position and apply an external floating +24VDC source to P1-1 (positive)
and P1-2 (negative). The four channels on each output card share a common
ground, the grounds on the individual output cards may be isolated from each
other.

Hardware
Power Supply
The power supply is rated for 3A at 24VDC and is sized to support a
minimum of 20 4-20 mA loop powered transmitters and the IntelliSOC™
Control Valve option. The output of the power supply is adjustable and
should be set between 23.0V and 25.0V when the panel is operating. This
device carries a UL NEC Class 2 rating and must only be replaced with a
Class 2 device to insure continued safe operation.
CT/4-20 mA Converter
The GForce™ Control Panel is designed to accept a 4-20 mA
signal as a compressor motor current input. If the motor starter is
not equipped with a 4-20 mA output, such as on a retrofit, a CT/4-
20 mA Converter is provided in the panel. This converter is
mounted in the lower left corner of the panel. When shipped from
the factory this units is setup for a 5A CT current. If a 1A CT
current is required, a DIP switch setting inside the converter must
be changed. The converter manufacturer’s manual is included in
the control panel drawing pocket to assist in configuration.

Hardware
Slide Valve Potentiometer Interface Board
The pot interface board provides a constant current drive for a slide valve potentiometer and
converts the output to a voltage signal usable by the GForce control panel. It is normally
mounted on the terminal rail to the right of the DC power supply. Two of these devices are
®
required for Frick continuously variable Vi compressor retrofits.
ESP Board
The ESP board is required to interface to the slide
valve position indicator on FES L and L-C series
compressors. It may be mounted on the bottom right
corner of the backplate or on the lower right wall of
the enclosure. Refer to MCP-187 for calibration and
setup.

was taken. The most recent entry is displayed at the top. When power cycles, entries with a value of ‘0’ are
created to indicate that the control panel was off-line. An alarm or shutdown row will be highlighted in yellow or
red. Touching or clicking one of these rows displays the annunciation with a button to view Rx-Trend data.
The current date may be selected using the controls at the top center for
the screen, the dropdown opens a calendar to select a date, the [<] and [>]
buttons move to the previous and next days respectively.
[Select Columns] opens a form that allows the operator to select which
columns are displayed in the table.
The [Interval] button opens a dialog to set the Long-Term Sampling Period.
This value is also displayed in the Operating Parameters frame of the
OmniView. The sampling interval is adjustable from one to one hundred
and twenty minutes. The Long-Term Historical data file can record
approximately six months worth of data. A sample is recorded each time
the Long-Term Sampling Period timer expires or whenever a Shutdown or
Alarm occurs. This data is intended to provide a record of compressor and
system activity.
Figure 27 Table Column Selection
Touching the graph window moves the cursor to the point of touch, the time and value at that point are displayed.
Digital values have a value of 10 when they are ‘ON’ and 0 when they are ‘OFF’. The date of the displayed data

RX-Trends
The RX-Trends window displays real-time data for the number of minutes selected in the pull-down in the lower
left corner. Data is displayed without units, the value is scaled based on the units that were selected at the time
the sample was taken. Sample period is five seconds. As a default the first eight entries on the Analog Display are
selected. Values can be added or removed using the pull-down and the [Add] and [Remove] buttons. To remove
an item, select it in the pull-down and touch [Remove]. To add an item, again select it in the pull-down and touch
add. Both analog and digital entries can be displayed. Digital values have a value of 10 when they are ‘ON’ and 0
when they are ‘OFF’. Alarm and shutdown generated trends files can be selected and viewed using the pull-down
at the top of the window.
The combo box in the lower left portion of the chart is used to select the Y-axis interval. The combo box has a
range of values from 5 to 50.
The [Save Snapshot] button records the current view of the RX-Trend to a text file, saved as "No
Alarm_DD_DD_DD TT_TT_TT.txt" (where DD is the current date and TT is current time). The files are saved on
the GForce™ Control Panel under the RX-Trend Alarms directory.
The Alarm/Shutdown History window shows a table of alarms and shutdowns with both the time the annunciation
occurred and the time it was cleared. The operator can elect to show just alarms, just shutdowns or a combined
list of both alarms and shutdowns using the three buttons in the lower left corner of the window. Files are stored
by day and files from previous days can be reviewed using the pull-down or navigation arrows at the bottom of the
window. Touching any Alarm/Shutdown, when it was issued, will bring up the Rx-Trend.

GForce™ Communications Network
GForce™ Control Panels are connected to each other and to supervisory systems using an industry
standard IEEE 802.3 10/100 Ethernet network. Network media may be Cat 5e cable, optical fiber or
wireless. Protocol is Modbus Ethernet; refer to MCP-170 GForce™ Communications Protocol for a list of
data points.
The FES GComm interface allows connection of devices on the GForce™ Ethernet network to existing
FES ComMENT networks. The GComm interface operates in two modes, Master and Slave.
Master mode is used when a GForce™ Control Panel is sequencing compressors on a ComMENT
network. In this mode, data from the GForce™ Panel is not available on the ComMENT network.
Communications from the GForce™ panel to other GForce™ Panels, a supervisory system, plant
intranet, or the Internet are handled over Ethernet. Only one GComm interface is required per ComMENT
network when operating in this mode.
Slave mode is used when a GForce™ Control Panel is being sequenced by a panel on the ComMENT
network or if it is desirable to obtain data from the GForce™ over ComMENT for a supervisory system not
equipped with Ethernet. A GComm interface is required for each GForce™ panel connected to the
ComMENT network. Not all data points described in MCP-170 are available through a GComm Slave
Interface, only basic compressor data is available. MCP-170 indicates which data points are available
when GComm is operating in Slave mode. If access to the full GForce™ communications protocol is
required the Ethernet interface must be used.
FES does not recommend any specific cable but it must be a minimum of CAT5e. The cable may be run
in open air or in a communications conduit or cable tray but never with AC control or high voltage wiring.
Maximum length of any cable run is 300 feet (100 meters). Longer distances require the installation of a
hub or switch.
Document: MCP-180
Revision: G
Page 2 of 32 Effective: 04-2012
Installing the Network
Installation and testing of the cables and network hubs/switches is the responsibility of the customer’s IT
department or contractor designated by the customer. All wiring must be per the latest edition of the NEC
and all local codes.
Reference Drawings

polled via ComMENT
Each GForce™ control panel requires a cable from the central Ethernet hub or switch. The GComm
® ®
interface and the VTrac or Life Trac interface both require there own respective cable runs. If both a
® ®
GComm and a VTrac or Life Trac are installed in a panel, a total of three cables must be pulled.
All cable runs must be tested before connection to the GForce™ Control Panels.

Revision: G
Page 4 of 32 Effective: 04-2012
Configuring the Panel
The GForce™ panel can be setup to use DHCP or a static IP
address. DHCP can be used primarily in a stand alone environment
where sequencing of the particular panel that is being configured is
not required or the panel is acting as a master sequencer to other
panels. In most cases, a static IP address will and should be used.
To get to the Setup Network form, navigate through the menu bar to
the service menu item and select Setup Network in the drop down list.
Note that you must be a ‘Service’ level user to gain access to this
screen.
The Setup Network screen contains two panel areas, one for each Ethernet network port on the
motherboard. The top panel corresponds to Port #2 and the bottom
panel corresponds to Port #1. It is advised by FES that only Port #1,
which is shown in the picture at right, is used.
To setup the panel to use DHCP, touch the checkbox in the bottom Port 1
left corner of particular Ethernet port that is active. Click the
[REFRESH] button to view the IP address that was assigned to the
panel by the DHCP routing device.
To setup the panel with a static IP address, ensure that the DHCP
checkbox is not checked. Then click in the IP Address textbox and
enter the IP Address you wish to assign the panel in the keypad. It is Port 2
also required that you enter the subnet mask and default gateway in
order for a static IP address to work appropriately. Please see your Figure 1 Ethernet Ports
network system administrator for the proper values to enter if you are unsure.

Configuring GCommII
If you need to communicate from a GForce™ to legacy FES micro panels a GCommII master will bridge
the Ethernet and ComMENT networks. If you need to communicate from a legacy FES micro panels to
GForce™ panels, a GComm slave device will bridge ComMENT and Ethernet (note: one GCommII Slave
device will be needed per GForce™ control panel which is on the ComMENT network).
This is not necessary in all applications. However, when it is required, please follow the instructions below
to set an IP address, verify serial settings, and if necessary configure the routing table for each device.
A GCommII slave is typically used when a MicroIII control panel is performing compressor sequencing
and there is a single or multiple GForce™ compressor panels which will be sequenced. A GCommII
slave is installed in each the GForce™ panels. It is important to note that proper configuration of the
GCommII slave AND the GForce™ panel is required in order for proper operation on the ComMENT
network. The IP address of the slave GForce must be configured to match the Node ID as set in the
operating parameter as well as the rotary switches of the GCommII slave card.
It is also important to note that the IP address of the GCommII slave should be set to something unique
and high in the valid range (ex. 192.168.1.94)
A GCommII master is typically used when a GForce™ control panel is performing compressor
sequencing and there are legacy FES micro panels on a ComMENT network which will be sequenced.
The GCommII master is typically installed in the GForce™ sequencing panel and will bridge all of the
legacy FES micro panels. The IP address of the GCommII master is entered in the GForce™
compressor sequencing screen for each of the legacy FES panels as well as the corresponding
ComMENT node ID. The GCommII master node ID (rotary switches) should be set to a unique number
high in the valid range (ex. FF, FE, FD, FC, etc…).
To reassign the IP address, connect a PC or laptop to the GCommII Ethernet port with an
Ethernet crossover cable. Ensure that the GForce™ is powered up and the appropriate Lantronix
DeviceInstaller software is installed on the PC or laptop that is being used to configure the
GCommII.
2. Highlight the device on the right pane of the window. Then click the Assign IP button in the
top button bar.
3. If prompted, enter the hardware address (on the product label) and click Next.
5. Enter the IP address,Subnet Mask and Default Gateway as determined by your network
administrator. If your network consists of only FES GForce™ and GCommII devices, you can
assign IP addresses in the range “192.168.1.nnn” where nnn is any unique number 1 – 255.
The Subnet mask displays automatically based on the IP address; if desired, you may
change it. On a simple local network, you can leave the Default gateway blank (all zeros).
Click the Next button.

COMPRESSOR PACKAGES
SECTION 4 COMPRESSOR STARTUP PROCEDURE
Introduction
This section contains information for conducting initial startup, normal operational startup, and restart
after power failure.
Pre Startup Requirements
Initial startup must be supervised by an FES authorized startup representative. Failure to have this
person present will void the compressor package warranty. This section should be carefully read and
understood to prevent damage to the compressor or system.
Required Actions-Installing Mechanic
A. Make all refrigerant piping connections.
B. Provide liquid refrigerant line for liquid injection or thermosiphon oil cooling. Provide water
piping if water cooled oil cooler is used. A high pressure refrigerant gas line must be provided
for TX liquid injection cooled booster compressors for external equalizing of the liquid injection
expansion control valve (not required for IntelliSOC™). Compressor package drawings supplied
with the package will show compressor connections.
C. Pressure test all refrigerant connections, before insulation is applied, and charge the system with
refrigerant.
D. Connect all power, control and auxiliary equipment. Do not energize control (120 or 220 volt)
power supply to the GForce™ panel.
E. Fill the oil sump with the initial charge of oil to midway on the top sightglass. Some packages
are precharged with oil but the oil may not be visible since some of it may have moved to the
secondary side of the separator during shipment. Shipping documents should be checked to
find if an initial oil charge was installed.
F. Do not turn on the oil heaters prior to the arrival of the FES startup representative.
G. Do not energize motor circuits for rotation check prior to the arrival of the FES startup
representative.
CAUTION: The oil pump, compressor, and microprocessor are to be initially started only under the
direct supervision of the FES startup representative.
Required Services-FES Startup Representative
A. Verify that all electrical connections are correct.
B. Check the function and settings of all electrical and mechanical controls of the screw compressor
package.
C. Verify the alignment of the compressor and compressor motor.
Manufacturer reserves the right to discontinue, or change at any time, specifications or designs without notice and without incurring obligations.
Document: GL-34
Revision: A
1 Effective: 04-08
D. Instruct the operating personnel in the operation and maintenance of the GL Series compressor
package.
E. Inspect the system for obvious faults or defects which may damage the compressor.
After the initial checkout procedures are completed, the compressor startup will proceed as described
below in "Initial Startup Sequence". After as many hours as possible (at least three hours), but before
the FES Startup Representative leaves the job, the customer must inspect and clean the oil pump suction
screen, and compressor suction strainer screen. If the oil filter pressure drop is 15 psid the oil filter
should be changed at this time. Otherwise, the spare filter should be kept for future use.
Initial Startup Sequence
After the prestartup checks have been conducted for a new installation or for restart after maintenance or
service shutdown, the following procedure should be observed when starting the compressor:
A. Check the oil level in the oil sump. During shutdown the oil level should be at the middle of the
top sight glass. When the compressor is operating, the oil level will not be below the lower sight
glass.
B. Check for the correct position of all valves as shown below:
1. Compressor suction valve should be open.
2. Compressor discharge valve should be open.
3. For external oil cooled applications, open the main oil injection metering valve as
required to maintain the desired discharge temperature. For liquid injection applications,
open the main oil injection metering valve ¼ - ½ open (where applicable). Throttling the
main oil injection valve may be required to reduce noise or vibration caused by excessive
oil flow. If the package is supplied with an auxiliary main oil injection valve, this valve
should be opened as required to maintain an acceptable discharge temperature and/or
acceptable noise/vibration levels.
4. Open the oil feed valves to ports L, K, and G.
5. Open all valves feeding transducers on the microprocessor control panel. Be sure the
vent and purge valves are closed.
6. Open the oil supply valve to the oil header.
NOTE: If dual oil filters are supplied the standby oil filter supply service valves will be closed, and
the outlet valve must be open.
7. Open the secondary oil return metering valve 1 turn open. The service stop valves should
be fully open.
8. Open the service valve from the oil differential relief regulator.
9. If this is a liquid injection cooled compressor, open the liquid supply to the feed station.
If this is an externally cooled compressor, the water feed valves or refrigerant supply
valves should be open.
10. If economized, the economizer supply should be closed. It should be opened slowly after
initial compressor operation is confirmed.
11. Refer to the compressor schematic supplied with package and set any other valves to the
position for normal operation.
Document: GL-34
Revision: A
Effective: 04-08 2
C. Set the control power circuit breaker (1CB) to the on position.
D. Close the oil heater circuit breakers so power will be applied to oil heaters. Power should be
applied 24 hours prior to compressor startup or as required to attain a minimum oil temperature
of 90°F.
E. Ensure the disconnect to the compressor motor is open.
NOTE: Some starters do not have a separate motor and control voltage disconnect, in which case the
motor leads must be disconnected from the starter.
This is necessary only if this is the initial start up or the motor or the wiring to the motor has
been changed.
F. Put the panel in service mode, use the 'User Level' selection on the menu bar at the top of the
screen. A password is required. Start the oil pump by pressing the [OIL PUMP] button. Allow
the oil pump to run for approximately 30 seconds to lubricate the compressor bearings. Stop the
oil pump by pressing the [OIL PUMP] button.
G. Close the disconnect or reconnect the motor leads to the compressor motor. See step E above.
H. Check compressor rotation. Facing the compressor shaft, the rotation should be CLOCKWISE.
To check rotation, touch the [LOCAL START] button and after going through the normal
starting sequence, the compressor will start. As soon as the direction of rotation is confirmed,
stop the compressor motor by pressing the [STOP] button. This check is only necessary if this is
the initial startup or the motor or wiring has been changed.
I. Enter variable setpoints into the GForce™ control panel.
J. Depress the [AUTO] capacity control button or the [EXTERNAL] button, if controlled by an
auxiliary control. This will allow the machine to control capacity.
K. Press the [LOCAL START] button, or if the compressor is to be sequenced by an auxiliary
control, push the [REMOTE START] button (the button will be illuminated, and the button will
go dark). This will enable the compressor to start depending on set up. From this point the
startup sequence will be automatic and the following will occur:
1. If the compressor was started previously within the anti-recycle time delay period, the
[ANTI-RECYCLE] button will be illuminated. The compressor start will be delayed
until the anti-recycle timer has completed its timing cycle. The compressor data display
screen will also show an "Oil Drain Time". This is the amount of time required to
properly drain oil from the compressor prior to restarting. The compressor start will be
delayed until the oil drain timer has completed its timing cycle.
2. If the compressor has not been started recently or the anti-recycle timer has timed out, the
following will occur simultaneously:
a. The [OIL PUMP] button will be illuminated. The oil pump will start and establish
oil pressure. Oil pressure must be established within 10 seconds or the startup
sequence will terminate and the compressor will not start.
b. The slide valve will move to the unload position (less than 5%). The compressor
must unload within 180 seconds or the start sequence will terminate.
3. Once the compressor slide valve has reached less than 5% and oil pressure has been
established, the following will occur:
Document: GL-34
Revision: A
3 Effective: 04-08
a. The compressor will start.
b. A loss of oil pressure for 6 seconds is allowed at this time.
c. There will be a 15 second delay before the compressor begins to load.
d. The elapsed time meter will start timing to display compressor operating hours as soon as
the compressor starts.
The compressor will now operate automatically. The capacity controller will cause the compressor slide
valve to load and unload to maintain the desired system pressure or temperature.
Parameter Setup
Once the compressor conditions have stabilized and normal suction and discharge conditions have been
reached, there are several compressor operating parameters that must be set. The settings and
adjustments that must be made are as follows:
A. Adjust the liquid injection oil cooling. Refer to Figure 2-2 for system explanation and
schematics. Adjust the outlet pressure regulating valve (OPRV) per instructions in Section 2 to
maintain the oil temperature listed in Table 2-1. Allow the compressor to run for several hours
to observe any changes in oil temperature. If the oil temperature should drop more than 5°F
below the recommended limits, adjust the OPRV for a higher pressure which will reduce the
refrigerant flow for oil cooling. If the oil temperature should increase more than 5°F above the
recommended limits, adjust the OPRV for a lower pressure which will increase refrigerant flow
for oil cooling. Do not adjust the thermal expansion valve (#5 or #10) to control oil temperature.
After system equilibrium is obtained, the liquid injection oil cooling system will operate
automatically without manual adjustment.
B. Once the oil temperature has reached operating temperature, some decrease in oil pressure may
be experienced. The oil pressure should be adjusted to the requirements given in Table 2-1. Oil
pressure is adjusted by changing the setting of the vee ported plug type regulating valve in the oil
bypass line to the separator. This valve is adjusted by removing the top cover and turning the
stem clockwise to increase oil pressure and counterclockwise to decrease oil pressure.
C. When oil pressure and temperature are stable, adjust the compressor slide valve load and unload
rate. GL Series compressor packages employ a double hydraulic cylinder to operate the slide
valve as illustrated in Figure 2-4. The rate of slide valve movement is adjusted by means of the
three needle check valve settings (two for load, one for unload). The load and unload valves are
identified in Figure 2-5. Closing the needle valves slows the rate of slide valve movement. Set
the needle valves such that is takes 30 to 60 seconds to load or unload the compressor from 0%
to 100% and from 100% to 0%, respectively.
Normal Shutdown Sequence
It is recommended that the compressor is first unloaded before shutdown. The normal shutdown
sequence is initiated by pressing the [STOP] button. This will cause the following:
A. The compressor will stop immediately and the [STOP] button will be illuminated.
B. The oil pump will continue to run until the slide valve moves to the less than 5% position or for a
minimum of 5 seconds, and then it shuts down.
Document: GL-34
Revision: A
Effective: 04-08 4
Normal Startup Procedure
A. Ensure that system conditions will allow a safe startup.
B. Depress the [AUTO] capacity control button (or external if controlled by an auxiliary controller).
C. Press the [LOCAL START], or if the compressor is controlled by an auxiliary control press the
[REMOTE START].
D. The start sequence will now be automatic.

Also, if the package will be exposed to below freezing temperatures during shutdown, the oil cooler and
piping must be heated or drained.
To restart after extended shutdown use the following procedure:
a. If water cooled, take necessary action to return cooling water to the cooler. Open the supply and
return valves and remove CLOSED tags.
b. Inspect the compressor for any damage or corrosion that may have occurred during prolonged
shutdown.
c. Open the compressor suction and discharge valves, and if supplied, the liquid injection feed stop
valve. Remove CLOSED tags. If economized, the supply valve will be opened after startup.
d. Close disconnects to the compressor and oil pump.
e. Turn the CONTROL POWER switch to the ON position. Close the circuit breakers to the oil
heaters. Allow the oil to warm to 90°F.
f. Proceed with the startup as described in Section 4.
B. Oil Filters
All GL Series compressor packages are furnished with one main 15 micron high efficiency single or
multiple cartridge oil filter. As an option, dual oil filters are available so that the compressor can
continue to operate while one filter is being changed (Only one filter is used during operation, the
second serves as 100% backup).
C. Main Oil Filter
UNLESS DUAL OIL FILTERS ARE SUPPLIED, IT IS NECESSARY TO SHUT DOWN THE
COMPRESSOR BEFORE REPLACING FILTER ELEMENTS.
Filter elements should be changed when the pressure drop across the filter exceeds 15 psid or yearly.
The procedure for changing the main oil filter is as follows:
a. If a single oil filter was supplied, shut down the package by depressing the STOP button and
open the disconnects to the compressor and oil pump.
If dual oil filters were supplied, SLOWLY open the upstream service stop valve to the filter not in use.
The valve must be opened slowly to prevent a sudden lowering of oil pressure.
b. Close the service stop valves to the filter that is having the elements replaced.
c. Connect a hose to the purge and drain valves at the bottom of the oil filter (located on oil supply
pipe). Insert the free end of the hose into a container to collect oil drained from the filter.
SLOWLY open the purge (use the oil pressure transducer vent valve) and drain valves to release
pressure.
d. Loosen the capscrews retaining the filter cover and cover O-ring. Remove and retain the
capscrews after the oil has drained from housing.
e. Remove and keep the nuts holding the filter cartridge retainer. Remove and keep the filter
cartridge retainer.
f. Remove the front oil filter cartridge and then remove the back cartridge(s). Used cartridges can
then be properly disposed. Be sure to clean sealing surfaces to remove any gasket material from
previous filter elements.
g. Clean the canister interior with clean oil and wipe with a clean lint free cloth.

h. Install the new filters and retainer. Reinstall the retainer nuts.
i. Install the cover and oil soaked O-ring using the original capscrews.
j. Close the purge and drain valve.
k. Slowly open the inlet stop valve to the oil filter. Then slowly open the outlet stop valve from oil
filter.
l. If a single oil filter was supplied, the filter is now ready to be placed in service and the
compressor is ready to be restarted.
If a dual oil filter was supplied, this filter becomes the back up and the inlet stop valve should be
closed (outlet open) until the other filter is changed.
D. Strainer
Cleaning the oil pump strainer REQUIRES COMPRESSOR SHUTDOWN. To clean the strainer use
the following procedure:
a. Stop the compressor by depressing STOP. Open the disconnects to the compressor and oil
pump.
b. Close the stop valves to and from the oil strainer and close the stop valve at the outlet of the oil
differential pressure regulator.
c. Open the strainer purge and drain valves. Collect the oil in a container for disposal.
d. Loosen and remove the capscrews on the cover. Keep the capscrews for later use. Remove the
cover and O-ring.
e. Remove the strainer basket and wash in solvent. Blow with air to dry and clean.
f. Wipe the inside of the strainer housing with a clean dry lint free cloth.
g. Replace the strainer basket and install the cover and O-ring using the original capscrews.
h. Close the vent and drain valves and open the stop valves closed in Step b. Close the disconnects
to the compressor and oil pump motors.
i. The compressor can now be restarted.
E. Liquid Refrigerant Strainers
A number of liquid refrigerant strainers may be used on the GL Series compressor depending on the
type of oil cooling and other optional equipment supplied. For this reason a general procedure is given
that can be used for the equipment supplied. Refer to the equipment schematic provided with the
package to find specific locations of valves. The procedure is as follows:
a. Stop the compressor by depressing STOP and open the disconnects to the compressor and motor.
b. Close the liquid supply stop valve to the strainer and solenoid valve.
c. OPEN THE SOLENOID MANUALLY BY SCREWING IN THE VALVE STEM AT THE
BOTTOM OF THE VALVE. This will prevent liquid from being trapped between the solenoid
valve and the stop valve.
d. Allow time for the liquid refrigerant to evaporate then close the stop valve immediately down
stream of the solenoid valve.
e. When it can be determined that there is no remaining refrigerant in the strainer body or basket,
cautiously loosen the bolts holding the strainer cover.

that refrigerant or pressure is not present, remove and retain the nuts, bolts and flange. Discard
the cover gasket.
d. Remove and inspect the strainer basket. Clean by washing in solvent and drying with dry
compressed air.
e. Install the strainer in the strainer housing.
f. Using a new cover gasket, install the cover flange with the original nuts and bolts.
g. Refer to "General Component Replacement" Section and use steps h through k to complete the
procedure.
RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE
The compressor package can operate at peak performance only when it is properly maintained and
serviced. To ensure dependable and long life performance, a regular scheduled maintenance program
should be followed.
An operating log should be kept showing when maintenance was performed as well as results from
machine inspections for leaks, vibration, noise, oil quality, etc. A reference point for inspections should
be established when the package is placed in operation. A check for unusual or abnormal conditions
should be made on a daily basis. A Condition Based Monitoring Program should be employed. It should
include vibration surveys, oil analysis and at least axial float checks on the thrust bearings.
A. Oil Quality and Analysis
The proper type and condition of refrigeration oil is essential for maintaining compressor performance
and useful life. Oil quality changes rapidly and reflects both system and compressor mechanical
problems. Conditions such as bearing wear, contaminants, excessive temperature, and moisture are all
indicated by oil condition. Use the following recommendations to maintain the required quality from
the compressor oil.
a. Use only the oil recommended by FES for the refrigerant and duty specified. Contact the FES
service department if there are any question concerning the proper oil to use.
b. At start up, take two 8 oz. oil samples and place them in clean containers. One sample should be
used as a visual reference point to compare to later samples. Oil that appears murky, discolored,
milky or markedly different from the original sample indicates a possible problem requiring
further analysis. The second sample is to be sent to a laboratory for analysis. The analysis
should show, as a minimum, wear particle analysis, viscosity, contaminants (i.e. iron, copper,
etc.), and moisture content. The second sample's laboratory report will then be the reference
point for future samples. Each time the oil is changed new reference samples must be taken.
c. The FES service department can provide oil analysis services if a local laboratory is unavailable.
B. Vibration Analysis
The analysis of changes in vibration patterns and levels can provide valuable information on both
machine and structural components. In order for the vibration analysis to provide useful data, the
following guidelines should be used.
Document: GL-4
Revision: F
Effective: 05-09 6
a. Initial data should be taken at startup to use as a reference for later readings. Data should include
the location and orientation of each reading, the slide valve setting, the Vi setting, and the main
oil injection setting. Any future readings should be taken at these same conditions.
b. Vibration readings are most useful if spectrum data is taken. This data shows both the velocity
and frequency of the vibration.
c. Vibration surveys should be conducted at least every six months or every 4000hrs, whichever
comes first.
d. Vibration data can be misleading if not interpreted properly. Also, vibration can occur as a result
of other nearby equipment or be amplified by structural resonance. Questions concerning
vibration data and its application should be referred to the FES service department.
C. Maintenance Schedule
A recommended maintenance schedule for normal refrigeration duty is shown as Table 5-1. This
program should be followed if maximum compressor package performance and life is to be obtained.

E. Operating Log
The operating log is an essential tool used to understand and document the operating characteristics of a
refrigeration system. Recording temperatures, pressures, and other system data (refer to Table 5-2)
allows one to be familiar with the system operation and to identify any changes in the normal operating
conditions.
FES recommends that readings be taken at intervals of 2-4 hours of compressor operation.

GENERAL COMMENTS
Before installation is started, a few items of a general nature should
be considered. idler pin
1. Location - always locate the pump as close as possible to the
supply of liquid to be pumped. Locate it below the liquid supply figure 3
if at all practical. Viking pumps are self priming but the better the
suction conditions the better the performance. 5. Pressure Protection - Viking pumps are positive displacement.
2. Accessibility - the pump should be located where it is accessible This means that when the pump is rotated, liquid will be delivered
for inspection, maintenance, and repair. For large pumps, allow to the discharge side of the pump. If there is no place for this

5. For high temperature applications (those above 300°F) allow the Before starting layout and installation of your piping system, consider
pump to reach operating temperature, then recheck alignment. the following points:
1. Never use piping smaller than the pump port connections.
2. Be sure the inside of the pipe is clean before hooking it up.
3. Foot valve - When pumping a light liquid with a suction lift, a
foot valve at the end of the suction piping or a check valve in
the first horizontal run will hold the liquid in the line and make it
easier for the pump to prime. Be sure the foot or check valve is
big enough so that it doesn’t cause excessive line loss.
4. When approaching an obstacle in the suction or discharge line,
go around the obstacle instead of over it. Going over it creates
an air pocket. See Figure 10.5. Where practical, slope the
piping so no air or liquid pockets will be formed. Air pockets in
the suction line make it hard for the pump to prime.
6. For a suction line with a long horizontal run keep the horizontal
portion below the liquid level if possible. This keeps the pipe
full so the pump does not have to remove so much air when
figure 7
starting; this is most helpful when there is no foot valve. See
internal pressure relief valve Figure 11.
7. When piping a hot or cold system (liquid being handled is at a
temperature different from the air surrounding the pump), be
sure allowance is made for expansion and contraction of the
piping. Loops, expansion joints, or unsecured (this does not
mean unsupported) runs should be used so the pump casing is
not distorted or put into a bind.

b) Foundation Studs
Very often, particularly when drive is by flexible coupling the
motor is anchored directly to the base with foundation studs.
It is recommended that shim plates of approximately 0.8
inches be used between the foundation studs and the feet of the
motor for replacement purposes. These shim plates are useful
when exchanging one motor for another of larger shaft height
due to variations allowed by standard tolerances.
Foundation studs should neither be painted nor rusted as both
interfere with to the adherence of the concrete, and bring about
loosening.
After accurate alignment and levelling of the motor, the
foundation studs are cemented and their screws tightened to
secure the motor.
3.1.3 Alignment
The electric motor should be accurately aligned with the driven
machine, particularly in cases of direct coupling. An incorrect
alignment can cause bearing failure vibrations and even shaft
rupture.
The best way to ensure correct alignment is to use dial gauges
placed on each coupling half, one reading radially and the other
exially - Figure 3.5.
c) Metallic Base
Motor-generator sets are assembled and tested at the factory
prior to delivery. However, before putting into service at site,
coupling alignment should be carefully checked as the metallic
base could have suffered dislocation during transit due to
internal stresses of the material.
The metallic base is susceptible to distortion if secured to a
foundation that is not truly flat.
Machines should not be removed from their common metallic Figure 3.5 - Alignment with dial gauges

instrument). Thus, simultaneous readings are possible and allow for

Figure 3.6a - Deviation Perfect gear engagement can be checked by the insertion of a

3.1.4 Coupling
a) Direct Coupling
Direct coupling is always preferable due to its lower cost,
space economy, no belt slippage and lower accident risk. Figure 3.8a - Pulley extractor
In the case of speed ratio drives, it is also common to use a
direct coupling with a reducer (gear box). Hammers should be avoided during the fitting of pulleys and
bearings. The fitting of bearings with the aid of hammers

completely impairs the bearing.
The correct positioning of a pulley is shown in Figure 3.9.
b) Gear Coupling
Poorly aligned gear couplings are the cause of jerking motions
which bring about the vibration of the actual drive and
vibrations within the motor.
Therefore, due care must be given to perfect shaft alignment:
exactly parallel in the case of straight gears, and at the correct
angle for bevel or helical gears. Figure 3.9 - Correct positioning of pulley on the shaft

aligned. (Figure 3.10). Pulleys that are too small should be avoided; these cause shaft
flexion because belt traction increases in proportion to a
decrease in the pulley size. Table 1 determines minimum
pulley diameters, and Tables 2 and 3 refer to the maximum
stresses acceptable on motor bearings up to frame 580.

Before running the motor verify that the starter rheostat is in the
start position, and that the brushes are correctly set against
the slip rings.
If the rheostat tap positions are numbered, the lowest usually
corresponds to the start position, and the highest to the
normal running position.
Next, close the stator circuit switch. The ammeter needle
should deflect sharply and then returning to a fixed lower value
after motor start.
When the needle is almost stationary, the rheostat should be
quickly moved to the next tapping position.
Coincident with speed increases, the rheostat should be moved
to each successive position until normal running position is
reached, stopping at each tapping stage until the current
indication shows no visible current drop.
On motors with brushes in permanent contact, the starter
rheostat remains in the run position while the motor is
running.
Special speed control rheostats designed for permanent
connection to resistance contacts within a given range of
settings are an exception to the above.

IMPREGNATION
Protect all frame threads by inserting corresponding bolts, and
the joint between terminal box and frame, by coating it with a
non-adhesive varnish (ISO 287 - ISOLASIL).
Protective varnish on machined parts should be removed soon
after treating with impregnating varnish. This operation should
be carried out manually without using tools.

Underestimating the distance between the drive pulley and the
driven pulley is a common occurrence.
The arc of contact of the belt on the drive pulley thus becomes
inadmissibly small and thereby belt tension is insufficient for
torque transmission.
In spite of this it is quite usual to increase belt tension in order
to attain sufficient drive.
Admittably, this is feasible with the latest belt types reinforced
by synthetic materials.
However, this practice fails to consider the load on the bearing
and the result is bearing failure within a short time.
Additionally there is the possibility of the shaft being subjected
to unacceptably high loads when the motor is fitted with a
pulley that is too wide.
