Air Techniques Air Compressor AS40

Make Sure Everything Is Running Properly

After your AIRSTAR has been installed and before it is put into operation, be sure to follow the check-out procedure detailed below:

Check that Intake Filter(s) are fully seated into the compressor head(s) and that the Tank Outlet Valve is closed.

Turn on the electricity. Check the incoming line voltage. It should be at least 108 Volts for the AS10 and AS21; and 198 Volts for the AS12, AS22, AS30, AS40, AS50, AS70 and AS100. This voltage should remain at or above these levels while the AIRSTAR is running. If not, install the appropriate boost transformer and check that the correct main circuit breaker and wire size are being used.

Check pump-up and recovery times as detailed below and compare to the times in the table.

Turn on the AIRSTAR’s power and determine the pump-up time from 0-115 PSI. See the table below.

Drain the storage tank to 80 PSI and determine the recovery time from 85 to 115 PSI. See the table below.;

Check for abnormal noises and air leaks

No flammable, corrosive, or combustible materials are stored in the equipment room (especially in the area around the equipment)

Operational range of pressure switch

Inspect the Moisture Monitor for a color change

Note: To comply with NFPA 99C, a 5-micron Filter is installed on the output of all AIRSTAR models.

Refer to Figure 4 and check the Service Indicator on the 5-micron Outlet Filter.

Red indicates that the filter must be replaced P/N 87168.

Green indicates No service is required.

Important: In dusty environments, the Intake Filter, PN 89938, may need to be changed more often than once a year.

Always dispose of the removed filter in accordance with local codes;
