4.6.2 Oil pressure control
The oil pressure switch breaks the control circuit when the pressure difference between the oil
pump outlet and the crankcase is too low. The switch must be properly adjusted and tamper-
proof. If the oil differential pressure drops below the minimum acceptable value the compressor
will be stopped after a 120-second delay. After having solved the problem the control has to be
reset manually.
NOTE: Proper oil pressure safety control with an approved switch is a condition of
warranty!
The following oil pressure switches can be delivered as accessories:
Electronic oil pressure switch OPS2
Mechanical oil pressure switch ALCO FD-113ZU
4.6.2.1
Electronic oil pressure switch
– OPS2
The specifications for the OPS2 oil pressure switch are as follows:
Differential pressure:
0.95 ± 0.15 bar
Time delay:
120 ± 15 sec.
Where there is a 5-wire cable connection between the electrical control panel and the
compressor terminal box to the OPS module, the same wires can be applied to the OPS2 which
will give the functions of an OPS1 module.
To obtain use of all of the features of the OPS2 a 7-wire cable between the electrical control
cabinet and the compressor terminal box should be used. Wiring diagrams for OPS2 are shown
in Technical Information D7.8.3 "DWM Copeland
™ Semi-hermetic Compressor Oil Pressure
Differential Switch OPS2" available at
. The wiring diagram relates to an
option using a 7-wire cable.
Wiring:
Brown (BN) = Power supply input
Violet (VIO) = Running signal from the compressor
Grey (GR) = Input changeover contact from the
daisy chain
Orange (OG) = Output changeover contact linked to
the compressor contactor
Pink (PK) = Output changeover contact linked to the
alarm
Blue (BU) = Power supply output
Figure 16
NOTE: Where a 5- or 7-wire cable is stated a 4- or 6-wire cable is required. In some
countries only a 5- or 7-wire cable is available. See more information about OPS2 in
Technical Information D7.8.3 "DWM Copeland
™ Semi-hermetic Compressor Oil Pressure
Differential Switch OPS2".
