SCREEN DISPLAY/SETTING PRESSURE

Use these three buttons to set maximum and minimum pressure:
 

A. MODE  

B. UP ARROW  

C. DOWN ARROW

STEP 1: 

Press the “MODE” button once, the number “1” will display on the screen. You can now set the 
maximum pressure you would like using the “UP ARROW” button or “DOWN ARROW” button. 
The maximum pressure is displayed on the screen. The setting range is: 10-55psi.

STEP 2: 

Press the “MODE” button again, the number “2” will display on the screen. You can now set 
the minimum pressure you would like using the “UP ARROW” button or “DOWN ARROW” button. 
 The minimum pressure is displayed on the screen. The setting range is: 5-50psi.

There is a 5psi differential on the settings so if you would like to change maximum/minimum 
pressure settings, change the low or minimum pressure setting first and then set the high or 
maximum pressure. Otherwise the 5psi differential will not allow you to change the pressure settings.

EXAMPLE: 

The maximum pressure setting is set at 12psi and the minimum pressure is set at 7psi. If you wish to change the maximum pressure to 
10 and minimum pressure to 5. Press the mode button until you see the number 2 and minimum pressure of 7 on the screen. Change 
the setting to 5 using “DOWN ARROW” button. Next press the “MODE” button once again to see the number 1 and maximum pressure of 
12 on the screen. Use the “DOWN ARROW” button to change the setting to 10. If you try to set the maximum pressure first the digital 
pressure switch will not allow you to change the number to 10 because that would cause the drop to be below the 5psi differential.

THE COMPRESSOR WILL BEGIN RUNNING WITH YOUR PRESSURE SET RANGE.

When you have the maximum and minimum pressure set to numbers you want, you can lock the settings so they cannot be changed.
 

A. Press and hold for 5 seconds, both the “MODE” button and “MINIMUM PRESSURE” 

 

  button simultaneously.
