See chapter 5

5:3 Safeguards
Protection is provided for the following:

(1) Low voltage. To prevent the batteries from being totally discharged, the
compressor will be
stopped if the voltage at the terminals on the controller falls below
10.4volts (22.8v on a 24v
system). It will not re-start until the voltage rises above 11.7 volts (24.2
on a 24v system).

(2) High voltage. If the voltage exceeds 17v, the controller stops the
compressor and switches
into 24v mode, but will not attempt to start the compressor until the voltage
reaches 24.2v.

(3) Compressor non-start. If the compressor does not start, the controller
will stop the starting
process and attempt a re-start approximately every 45-90 seconds.

(4) Compressor speed too low. If the compressor speed falls below 1900 RPM the
controller
will stop the compressor.

(5) Fan (and pump) protection. If the current draw across the fan terminals
exceeds 0.7 amps at
12v dc, the compressor will be stopped and a re-start attempted every 45-90
seconds.

(6) Module overheat. If the heat sink on the controller exceeds 100 deg C (212
deg F), the
compressor will be stopped and will be re-started when normal operating
temperatures are
resumed.


I think you should demand your money back under warranty as it's simply
not your fault of the compressor baked the oil. (If, indeed, it truly did
which
I doubt.) The only way that can happen is if the Module overheat function
failed to work as advertised.
