Finding a location In finding a location for your compressor... 1. Find a location in which the 12-Voltair can get adequate ventilation. 2. Find a location in which the 12-Voltair will not be overly exposed to dirt and dust. 3. Find a location in which the 12-Voltair can be properly fastened to ensure that it does not shift. 4. Check the underside to make sure that any drilling of holes will not interfere with existing lines or structure. Once you have decided on a location for the 12-Voltair...
Electrical What Size of Wire Should I Use? A minimum of 4 gauge copper battery cable should be used for both positive and ground wire lengths up to 15 foot. For lengths of 15’ - 30’ use 2 gauge or 1 O copper wire Ground Wire IN most cases a short ground cable from the 12-Voltair to the frame of your vehicle is sufficient. When securing a ground to the frame of a vehicle be sure to sand/grind metal ‘shinny’ to ensure that the ground makes good contact.
Electrical (o pt i o n a l) Toggle SWITCH The Voltair is designed/manufactured with the solenoid activating the pressure switch. By default, when the pressure switch is in the on position, the Voltair will run whether the vehicle ignition is on or off. If your system would drop below 125 PSI, the compressor would kick on and run until the pressure reached 150- regardless of whether or not you are in the vehicle or not. To avoid this, Voltair, Inc.
Plumbing Choosing the right size air storage tank. How much air storage you need can vary from task to task. In most cases a 10 gallon tank is adequate for filling/changing 1-2 tires at a time. Anything larger than 40 gallons is not recommended by Voltair. See chart below to help you determine how much air storage you need. Choosing a location for your air storage tank. The great thing about air is that the inlet and outlet are one in the same.
M aintenance Under optimum conditions you can count on your 12-Voltair to provide “Air Where And When You Need It!” for a long, long time. Check the items below atleast once a year or every 300 hours of use.
Wiring Disconnect (red dotted) wire from the solenoid and reattach to the wire that goes from the pressure switch to the wire (green dotted) that goes to the toggle switch. 12 VDC POWER SOURCE This can be any 12 power source. There are two types of power sources. 1- Direct- This is a power source that has continuous 12 VDC whether the ignition is on or off.
Troubleshooting My 12-Voltair not run 1. Check if the switch on the pressure switch is in the auto (down) position 2. Check the air pressure. If you have more than 120 PSI in the compressor, the compressor will not kick in and run until the pressure has dropped below 120 PSI Before proceeding with this troubleshooting guide, be sure to disconnect the wire on the right side of the solenoid. This is the wire that goes to the inside of the motor. 3. Do you have a toggle switch? If not skip to 4.
Troubleshooting My 12-Voltair shakes a lot. 1. Check to make sure there is adequate belt tension. You should have anywhere from 1/4” - 3/8” movement when applying 50% pressure to the belt directly between the motor and pump pulleys 2. Check to make sure that the motor and compressor are securely fastened to the frame. Make sure that bolts have not come loose. My 12-Voltair runs but is not able to pump up any pressure 1.
