PRESSURE the demand is satisfied, the unit stops. Pressure ADJUSTMENT SCREW switches provided by Quincy Compressor are pre-set at the factory and usually do not require adjustment. However, the following procedures can be performed by a qualified electrician to adjust the pressure switch.
Screw the spring loaded adjustment screw out (counterclock-wise) to de- crease the amount of air pressure required to open the switch and stop the unit. The maximum discharge pressure for a Climate Control Series CAUTION ! compressor is 90 PSIG Do not set the pressure switch to exceed this limit.
Manual shutoff valves, protected by pressure relief valves, should be installed at all service line outlets to eliminate leakage while the tools are not in use. Climate Control Series Quincy Compressor 2022209100, August 2018...
