Air Lift WirelessOne - Compressor Manual

Introduction

WirelessOne is an on-board air compressor system designed to easily level the vehicle digitally. It can be operated both with the included wireless controller and with a free app, available for iOS and Android operating systems.

The kit includes a compressor, manifold, wiring harness, wireless digital controller, air line and integrating hardware. The system can be used inside or outside the vehicle for adjustments in full view of the vehicle.

The wireless digital controller is a compact, battery-powered unit. Three user-defined memory settings are provided for frequently used settings. As an added safety measure, WirelessOne maintains minimum air pressure of 5 PSI (.34BAR) in the system. The manifold is also weather resistant for maximum life expectancy.


WHEN SETTING UP USING A TANK AND EXTERNAL SOLENOID, CONSIDERED INDIRECT COMPRESSOR FILL, TANK MODE MUST BE SELECTED IN SETTINGS. SIMILARLY, USING A DIRECT COMPRESSOR FILL SETUP (IE. THE COMPRESSOR FILLS THE AIR SPRINGS DIRECTLY) REQUIRES COMPRESSOR MODE TO BE SELECTED IN SETTINGS. USING EITHER MODE IN THE WRONG SETUP WILL LEAD TO SYSTEM ERRORS AND POOR PERFORMANCE.

19 Blockage in the compressor or system which is preventing air flow Check for system blockages or frozen moisture in the air lines. Remove and reinstall the 15A fuse to reset the fault
- Bad ground, poor wire connections, bad compressor or bad manifold Disconnect the compressor and test on the bench using w12 volts

System does not exhaust when deflation is commanded

1 Vehicle battery voltage is too low (below 9 volts) Check the vehicle battery
2 Vehicle battery voltage is too high (above 18 volts) Check the vehicle battery and charging system
3 Manifold temperature is too cold Allow manifold to warm up
4 Manifold temperature is too hot Allow manifold to cool down. Move manifold to location that is not near heat sources

Nothing happens when the vehicle is turned on

- If the ignition wire is not connected, the system will only maintain a preset if the vehicle starts moving or is connected to the wireless controller or mobile app Connect the optional ignition wire if desired. Connect to the manifold using the remote or mobile app to wake the system up for quicker adjustments

Nothing happens when making an adjustment with the remote

- When first powering on the wireless controller, the Bluetooth connection is established in the background. Changes to the desired pressure can be made while connecting, but the adjustment command won't be sent until the Bluetooth connection is complete and signal strength icon is visible in the upper left corner of the screen Wait for the Bluetooth connection to complete. The last adjustment will automatically be made once the connection is established

Unable to connect to the manifold with the remote

- Wireless controller batteries are low Check wireless controller battery icon. Change batteries if necessary
- Blown 15A fuse Check 15A fuse. Enter the pairing screen on the remote or the devices menu on the mobile app and see if the manifold is visible via Bluetooth
- Weak Bluetooth signal Ensure the manifold is mounted forward of the rear axle. Move manifold to a location that is not shielded by metal
- Wireless controller has become unpaired from the manifold Re-pair the remote by removing and re-inserting the 15A fuse. The manifold will be in pairing mode for 3 minutes after power is applied

System does not maintain/reach ride height

21 Large leak in the system Locate and correct leak (See Finding Air Leaks and Fixing Leaks on Barbed Fittings and Fixing Leaks on PTC Fittings). Remove and reinstall the 15A fuse to reset the fault
- The vehicle could be overloaded If the air pressure in the system is at its max pressure of 100 PSI (7BAR), the system will stop inflating.
- Compressor mode is enabled in a tank setup Put the system in tank mode via settings in the app

The unit runs often without commanding an inflate adjustment

22 Small air leak in the system Locate and correct leak (See Finding Air Leaks and Fixing Leaks on Barbed Fittings and Fixing Leaks on PTC Fittings)
Compressor turns on when commanding fill, but does not hit pressure target 15 The system is set to tank mode in a compressor setup Put the system in compressor mode via settings in the app

Replacing Batteries in the Wireless Controller

REPLACING BATTERIES IN THE WIRELESS CONTROLLER

  1. To install the two CR2032 batteries in the wireless controller, use a small flat screwdriver to separate the two halves of the controller by prying apart the internal clip locations.
  2. Stack the batteries positive to negative inside the rear cover with the positive end pointed in the direction of the circuit board. Take note of "NEG" on the case and "+" symbol on the circuit board.
  3. Snap the front cover/circuit board onto the rear cover.

Finding Air Leaks

  1. Inflate the air springs to 30 PSI (2.1BAR).
  2. Spray all connections with a solution of liquid dish soap and water. Wait 30 seconds and check for bubbles which indicate leaks.
  3. Check the air pressure again after 24 hours. A 2-4 PSI (.14-.28BAR) loss after initial installation is normal. Retest for leaks if the loss exceeds 5 PSI (.34BAR).
  4. After checking for leaks, deflate the springs to the minimum pressure required to restore the system to normal ride height.

Fixing Leaks on Barbed Fittings

  1. If there is a leak at the Schrader valve, tighten the valve with a valve core tool.
  2. If there is a leak at any barbed fitting, cut the air line 1 1/2" (38mm) behind the fitting. Use a pair of pliers or locking pliers to twist and pull the air line off of the fitting. Do not cut the air line lengthwise at the fitting because this could nick the barbs, likely causing it to leak.
  3. Reinstall the air line and the air line clamp if the fitting has one. Make sure the air line covers all barbs.

Cutting Air Lines

When cutting air lines, use a sharp knife or a hose cutter and make clean, square cuts. Do not use scissors or wire cutters because these tools will deform the air line, causing it to leak around fittings. Do not cut the lines at an angle.
The maximum bend radius for 1/4" air line is 1" (25mm). Do not bend the air line more than the maximum bend radius or side load the fitting connections. Air lines are to be installed straight into fittings.

Fixing Leaks on PTC Fittings

After insertion, check the PTC fitting connection by pulling on each line to verify a robust connection.


To release the air line from the connection, first release all air from the system. Push in on the air line (step 1), push the collar in (step 2), and with the collar depressed, pull the air line out of the fitting (step 3).

To reconnect, push the air line into the fitting and pull to verify a robust connection.

TIPS

  • To ensure a proper seal, cut off the end of the air line just beyond the witness mark before reinstalling in the fitting.
  • If the fitting is leaking at the threads, it may be necessary to remove and re-apply thread sealant on the threads and re-install 1 1/2 turns beyond finger tight.
