GLOSSARY

SCFM or CFM: Standard Cubic Feet per Minute; a unit of measurement of air delivery.

PSIG or PSI: Pounds per square inch gauge.

U.L. Listed: Products with the U.L. mark are listed by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (U.L.). Samples of these products have been evaluated by U.L. and meet the applicable U.L. Standards for Safety.

DUTY CYCLE

All DeVilbiss Air Power manufactured air compressors should be operated on not more than a 50% duty cycle. This means an air compressor that pumps more than 50% of one hour, is considered misuse, because the air compressor is undersized for the required air demand. Maximum compressor pumping time per hour is 30 min- utes.
