The AirSmart™ Controller is designed specifically for use in the Gardner Denver rotary screw air
compressors. This manual gives instructions on correct and safe operation of the AirSmart ™ controller.
For more information on operating the compressor, please refer to the operation and maintenance
instructions of the compressor.
Read these and other instructions delivered with the compressor carefully before taking your
screw compressor into use. This ensures correct preparations and use from the very beginning.
All the instructions in this manual have been provided to guarantee a long life and reliable operation of your
screw compressor.
Always keep the manual available near the compressor. Make sure that the compressor is operated and
serviced according to the instructions.
1.2 Safety
Note! Always read also the safety instructions for transport, implementation, use and maintenance
presented in the operation and maintenance instructions of the compressor.
The instructions in this manual concerning safety are marked with this symbol.
In addition to these instructions, the local regulations in your country may impose additional requirements
that must be observed.

2. Operation
The Control Panel is mounted on the compressor. It is used to operate the compressor and observe
system status by using the LCD display, status LED indicators and buttons.
The Control Panel displays a comprehensive overview of the compressor status and allows access to
operational parameters such as pressure set points, alarm set points and language selection.

Indicator functions
The type of the shutdown fault will be shown in the display. When the Shutdown LED is
flashing, the shutdown fault condition is active. When the Shutdown LED is on steady, the
shutdown fault condition no longer exists, but the fault has not been acknowledged. To
acknowledge a shutdown fault and reset the compressor, press the STOP/RESET button.
Pressing the STOP/RESET button will not clear an active shutdown fault. The shutdown fault
condition must be removed before it can be reset.
The type of the service advisory fault will be shown in the display. When the Service LED is on
steady, the advisory fault condition is active, but the fault has not been acknowledged. To
acknowledge an advisory fault, press the ENTER button. If the service advisory fault condition
has not been cleared before it is acknowledged, the advisory fault indication will occur again in
short period of time.

3. Operational Menus
3. Operational Menus
The AirSmart™ Controller has two sets of menus. The first set is the Operational Menus, which allow the
user to observe the current status of various parts of the compressor, like the motor(s) or the air-oil
separator. The second set is Adjustment Menus, which are presented in the "Adjustment Menus" on page
18.
The Operational Menus are available at all times. The menus marked with * in the listings of this manual
are not available in all compressors. The menus available depend on the features and/or settings of the
compressor in question.
1. To enter the Operational Menu trees press the Right or Left Arrow buttons to access one of the
menus.
2. When the desired menu heading is shown in the fourth line of the display, use the Up and
Down Arrow buttons to access the individual items in the selected menu.
Note! If the Up or Down Arrow buttons are not pressed within five seconds of pressing the Right or Left buttons, the
display will return to its previous state.
3. It is not necessary to navigate back to the top of a particular menu in order to enter another
menu. Press the Right or Left buttons to go back to the heading of the current menu. Then use
the Right or Left buttons to find the desired menu heading as described above.
Note! Advisory fault information is also shown in the fourth line of the display. If an advisory is active and the fault
condition has not been cleared, the Operational Menu text will be periodically replaced by the advisory text.

5. Error Management
5. Error Management
The AirSmart™ Controller can control up to three variable speed motor drives. It can read more than ten
analog inputs with expansion board and a host of digital I/O in order to achieve system objectives. There
are numerous tests that are performed every second by the controller in order to determine the state of the
compressor system. Many of those tests are designed to check, if certain parameters have been exceeded
so that action can be taken to protect the compressor.
The advisory alarms alert the user of needed service or that certain parameters may be approaching their
shutdown level. Advisory alarms can be reset while the compressor is running or stopped by pressing the
ENTER button. If the error condition still exists after resetting the advisory alarm, the advisory alarm will
occur again. The status of the compressor at the time of the last six advisories is stored in nonvolatile
memory, which can be accessed through the Advisory History menu.

The shutdown faults in the controller are designed to protect the compressor from component failure or
extreme environmental conditions. Shutdown faults can be reset by pressing the STOP/RESET button
after the compressor has been stopped. If the error condition still exists, the shutdown fault can not be
reset. Error condition is indicated by a blinking Shutdown LED.
The status of the compressor at the time of the last six advisories is stored in nonvolatile memory. It can be
accessed through the Advisory History menu. The shutdown number is shown in the second line. A short
description of the fault is shown in the third line.
See the following table for shutdown faults that can occur in the AirSmart™ Controller.

The Gardner Denver compressors with AirSmart™ controller can be equipped with a number of
temperature and pressure transducers to monitor status and control the compressor. See the table for
locations, where the transducers are typically used, depending on the version of the controller installed in
the compressor.
