Mounting the Compressor & Relay
• All of our compressors are sealed for moisture and dust resistance so they
can be mounted anywhere on the vehicle. Although it is best to mount
it in a place out of direct contact with rain and snow. It is OK to mount it
underneath the vehicle but keep it inside the frame rails away from water
the tire.
• This is a dry compressor; therefore it is maintenance free and can be
mounted in any position.
• It is best if mounted to something solid to reduce vibration and noise. If
mounting it to sheet metal or the bed of a truck use sound deadening
material between the compressor and the mounting surface.
• Use the rubber grommets supplied on the feet of the compressor to reduce
vibration.
• A main power wire of 12AWG. or larger will be needed
to supply each compressor. It will attach to the Red
wire on the relay. The yellow wire on the relay will go
to the Red wire on the compressor. The black wire on
the compressor should be attached to a clean ground,
usually the frame. The small gray and orange wires
will plug into the RL1 port on the ECU.
• If you are running two compressors you will need an
additional relay that will plug into the RL2 port. (Part
# - WIR8500)
• Thomas Compressors (black) will require a 20 amp
fuse (each).
• Viair Compressor (silver) will require a 30 amp fuse
(each).
Mounting the Air Tank
• The air tank can be mounted anywhere on the vehicle in any
position. (sensor cannot be on bottom)
• There is an 1/8” port in the tank that will accept the tank pressure
sensor.
