BASIC AIR COMPRESSOR COMPONENTS

The basic components of the air compressor are the electric motor, Thermal

Overload Protection System (TOPS), pump, and receiver (tank).

The electric motor (see A) powers the pump.

TOPS senses both temperature and current, providing more complete motor

overload protection than a magnetic starter, which senses only current. If

TOPS senses an overload condition, it will automatically shutdown the

compressor. Allow 10-15 minutes for the unit to cool down, then press

the reset button on the motor to restart

the compressor.

The pump (see B) compresses the air

and discharges it into the tank.

The tank (see C) stores the compressed

air.

The pressure switch (see D) shuts down

the motor and relieves air pressure in

the pump and transfer tube when the air

pressure in the tank reaches the kick–out

pressure. As compressed air is used

and the pressure level in the tank drops

to the kick–in pressure, the pressure

switch restarts the motor automatically,

without warning and the pump resumes

compressing air.

The air line outlet (see E). Connect 1/4"

NPT air hose to this outlet.
