Operation
The air compressor provides on-demand compressed air to outlet locations in the space for utility use. It is typically left powered on (enabled), all the time. Be aware that it can unexpectedly start at any time. The tank pressure is typically maintained at 125 psig. When the tank pressure falls below a low-pressure set point, the unit's electric motor automatically starts to operate the compressor to rebuild/restore the tank pressure. When the tank pressure reaches a high-pressure set point, the electric motor automatically turns off, stopping the compressor. It remains enabled to automatically re-setart as needed to maintain tank pressure.
How to Turn it On (Enabled) Notice the red selector switch. Turn it from off to on. This will enable the automatic operation based on tank pressure
Safety
- Realize the enabled air compressor electric motor can and will automatically start at any time. Avoid entangling body parts in the (potentially) rotating machinery.
- Realize the compressed air in the tank is an energy source, even after electric power is removed. Vent the tank to atmospheric pressure before servicing to release this energy source.
- Realize the compressed air in the lines and at outlet locations is an energy source. Use caution when making connections and initiating flow to avoid unintended consequences.
- Compressed air is typically used to blow sawdust, metal chips, and dust from the equipment. Wear PPE (eye and ear protection) to avoid injury from contact with such debris.
Maintenance
The following should be done
Drain waste water condensate from the tank Atmospheric air contains invisible moisture. When atmospheric air is compressed, the physics of pressure and temperature changes can cause this moisture to condense from the air as liquid water. This
- Secure

Change the oil in the air compressor
- Eye wear
- Secure
- Loose
- Do not
