Porter-Cable CPLC7060V instruction manual Glossary, Duty Cycle, Specifications

GLOSSARY

CFM: Cubic feet per minute.

SCFM: Standard cubic feet per minute; a unit of measure of air delivery.

PSIG: Pounds per square inch gauge; a unit of measure of pressure.

ASME: American Society of Mechanical Engineers; made, tested, inspected and registered to meet the standards of the ASME.

Code Certification: Products that bear one or more of the following marks: UL, CUL, ETL, CETL, have been evaluated by OSHA certified independent safety laboratories and meet the applicable Underwriters Laboratories Standards for Safety.

California Code: Unit may comply with California Code 462 (l) (2). Specification/ Model Label is on the side of the air tank on units that comply with California Code. Cut-In Pressure: While the motor is off, air tank pressure drops as you continue to use your accessory. When the air tank pressure drops to a certain low level the motor will restart automatically. The low pressure at which the motor automatically re-starts is called “cut-in pressure.”

Cut-Out Pressure: When you turn on your air compressor and it begins to run, air pressure in the air tank begins to build. It builds to a certain high pressure before the motor automatically 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."

To Lock Out Power: Place a lock on the line power switch so no one else can turn on the power.

DUTY CYCLE

Porter-Cable air compressors should be operated on not more than a 50% duty cycle. This means an air compressor that pumps air 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 minutes.

*	This air compressor can be operated on a 15 amp circuit if:

1.Voltage supply to circuit is normal.

2.Circuit is not used to supply any other electrical needs (lights, appliances, etc.)

3.Extension cords comply with specifications in owners manual.

4.Circuit is equipped with 15 amp circuit breaker or 15 amp time delay fuse marked Type D.

If any of the above conditions cannot be met, or if operation of the air compressor repeatedly causes interruption of the power it may be necessary to operate it from a 20 amp circuit. It is not necessary to change the cord set.

*A circuit breaker is preferred. Use only a fuse or circuit breaker that is the same rating as the branch circuit on which the air compressor is operated. If the air compressor is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use dual element time delay fuses.
