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 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.
Branch Circuit:
The circuit carrying electricity from electrical panel to outlet.
Duty Cycle:
This air compressor pump is capable of running continuously. However, to prolong the life of your air compressor, it is
recommended that a 50%-75% average duty cycle be maintained; that is, the air compressor pump should not run more than 30-45 minutes
in any given hour.
