Cut-in pressure:
While the motor is off, air tank pressure drops when accessory is used.
When the tank pressure drops to a certain low level the motor will restart automatically.
The low pressure at which the motor automatically restarts is called cut-in pressure.
Cut-out pressure:
When an air compressor is turned on and begins to run, air pressure
in the air tank begins to build. It builds to a certain high pressure before the motor auto-
matically shuts off, protecting your air tank from pressure higher than its capacity. The
high pressure at which the motor shuts off is called cut-out pressure.
BrAnCh CirCuit:
The circuit carrying electricity from electrical panel to outlet.
dutY CYCle:
For proper operation of your air compressor, it is recommended that a 50% duty
cycle be maintained; that is, the air compressor should not run more that 5 minutes in any 10
minute period.
