No tooooot :(

Well, got the kit installed today, and the compressor doesnt turn on.

I have the white wire form the pressure switch hooked to the red wire of the compressor- and nothing.

I hooked the compressor up, red to power, black to neg to make sure that wasnt the case. Compressor works.

Bad pressure switch or??

Thanks for any insight

Interesting. I put the inline fuse in - 1 of the fuses that was sent with the kit had no filament whatsoever in it! Must of missed it at the factory :slight_smile:

So were up and going! And its nutty loud - cant wait to get into a K3 :smiley:

That’s weird. Glad you got it going though.

Now I know you like makin’ videos…lol

1st time ive seen a new fuse have no filament!

I do enjoy making vids :slight_smile:

Yeah, no way would I check a new fuse.
It would only show up after breaking out the test light or VM.

prolly slippy pressure switch

I was about to break out the dmm to troubleshoot - I thought to myself, what if the fuse was bad in the first place? lol

Everything seems to be fine and working - Im thinking it was just a dud from the factory- hopefully :confused:

I never liked those pressure switches anyway…I have a hate relationship to them lol…

Which one do you run?

i run a square d pressure switches… its heavy duty stuff…

Ill look into that!

Square D (Pumptrol) pressure switches are very common with shop compressors and have been around a long time. Some of them include an unloader function which relieves the pressure from the head of the compressor so it doesn’t start under a load. Consider them the industry standard.

Link?

Square D has a ton of switches. I bought a 9013FHG42J59.
It seemed to be the simplest / least expensive version.

Class “9013” Type “FHG” pressure switches are designed for the control of small electrically driven air compressors.

“42” means 100-200psi adjustable cutout range, 40psi non-adjustable pressure differential, 1/4" Female NPT connection, lower horsepower version.

“J59” means factory preset to 175psi shut off (highest preset, but adjustable up to 200psi)

there are 5 or more pages of pressure switches

Thanks!
