19. FAILURE DIAGNOSTICS
The list we present below simulates most problems and possible causes that may result in a halt or incorrect operation of the compressor.
Some procedures to solve the problems are simple, which allows the user, through the reading of the Electronic Interface display, to solve
them without the need of specialized Technical Assistance.
However, if the problem remains after the corrective actions described below, contact the nearest SCHULZ AUTHORIZED DEALER.
OCCASIONAL DEFECT
Compressor will not start.
NOTE:
The Electronic Interface was
programmed to detect possible
failures (refer to its instruction
manual).
The compressor starts and
immediately turns off.
The compressor suddenly lost
performance.
Pressure is too low in the air
system.
Note: Before any actions, read
the notes at the end of the trou-
bleshooting and in the display
of the Electronic Interface.
Compressor turns off and won't
start even with the system
pressure low.
PROBABLE CAUSE
Phase or electric power missing.
Voltage missing in the command.
Pump or fan motor overload relay tripped.
Overtemperature.
Coil of the contactors burnout.
Other causes: Wires with loose or broken contacts.
Emergency stop button activated.
Overload relay tripped.
(Read the Electronic Interface).
Installation not in compliance with the related standard.
Phase missing (installation fuse burnout).
Power supply cables of motor loose in the input or output of the
contactors.
Thermal relay with defect or contacts of contactors worn out.
Air filter clogged.
Air leak in some pipe of the compressor.
Belts loose or worn out.
Overload relay tripped.
Thermal relay tripped.
High temperature. (This compressor has temperature
sensors that will inform the Electronic Interface)
Phase missing in the command.
Coil of the contactors burnout.
Check the protection fuse of the command. With voltage on the
command, the light (if it is ok) must turn on.
Reengage it and check the cause by restarting the compressor.
Wait for some minutes until going back to the ideal operating
temperature. In case it does not solve the problem, contact the
