Instructions
Notes: |
- The air tank is rated to 150 psi.
- If a car battery is used, be sure the vehicle is running as the compressor will drain the battery quickly. If a stand alone battery is used, the battery will drain in approximately 20 minutes.
- It is recommended not to alter the power cord for use with a cigarette lighter adapter.
- The compressor is thermally protected, therefore it will automatically shut off if it overheats. Once the compressor has cooled sufficiently, it will power up once again.
|
-
Connect the pressure line from the Solinst pump control unit to the pressure outlet on the 12 Volt Compressor.
-
Ensure that the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position before connecting to the power source. The ball valve handle on the side of the compressor should also be in the OFF position before connecting.
-
Connect the compressor to a 12 volt DC power source (such as a car battery) using the alligator clips. The red clip should connect to the positive terminal on the power source, and the black should connect to a proper ground or to the negative terminal on the power source.
-
Once the compressor has been connected to the power source and to all pressure lines, switch the compressor ON. This will begin to charge the tank to 125 psi, which takes approximately 4 minutes.
-
Once the tank has been fully charged to 125 psi, switch the ball valve to the ON position.
-
Once pumping begins, the air pressure in the tank will drop to 90 psi. The compressor will then recharge to 125 psi or to the selected pumping rate.
-
After every 20 hours of operation, the compressor should be drained. The draining valve is on the under side of the air tank. If the compressor is being operated in more humid conditions, it may need to be drained more often.
