Product Information
Full details
This ORAZIO Air Compressor Pressure Control Switch is designed for single-phase compressors, offering a reliable way to manage air pressure with its easy adjustment settings and multiple outlet options. It's ideal for DIY enthusiasts and professional workshops needing precise control over their compressed air systems. A minor caveat is that the maximum setting pressure is 10 Bar, which might be insufficient for extremely high-demand industrial applications. Key features include single-phase operation, one inlet, three outlets, adjustable pressure settings, and a maximum operating pressure range of 6-8 Bar.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the maximum pressure this switch can handle?
The maximum setting pressure is 10 Bar. The operating pressure range is typically between 6-8 Bar.
Can this switch be used with a three-phase compressor?
No, this switch is designed specifically for single-phase compressors.
How do I adjust the operating pressure?
The switch features adjustable pressure settings, usually controlled by rotating knobs. One knob typically sets the cut-out pressure (when the compressor stops) and the other the cut-in pressure (when it restarts).
What size is the threading for the outlets?
The switch features 1/4" BSP threading for the inlet and outlets.
How many tools can I connect to this switch?
The switch has one inlet and three outlet ports, allowing for the connection of up to three air lines or tools.
What voltage and current is required?
The switch operates on 220V and is rated for 16A.
What happens if I don't use all three outlets?
Unused outlet ports should be sealed with the provided screws to prevent air leaks.
Troubleshooting
Compressor does not turn on
Verify electrical connections are secure and the power supply is active. Check if the pressure has dropped below the cut-in threshold.
Compressor does not turn off
Ensure the pressure is reaching the set cut-out limit. Check for air leaks in the system. The switch may need adjustment or replacement if faulty.
Pressure fluctuates significantly
Check for leaks in the air lines or tool connections. Ensure the pressure adjustment is set correctly and the switch diaphragm is not damaged.
Air leaks from unused outlets
Ensure the provided screws are tightly sealed into the unused outlet ports.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Versatile with three outlets for multiple tool connections.
- Easy to adjust and set desired operating pressures.
- Compatible with standard 1/4" BSP fittings.
- Suitable for a wide range of common pneumatic applications.
Cons
- Maximum setting pressure of 10 Bar may be limiting for high-demand industrial uses.
- Designed for single-phase compressors only.
- Requires basic understanding of air compressor systems for proper installation.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Electrical Connection: Ensure the compressor is unplugged. Connect the power supply wires to the designated terminals on the switch (220V, 16A). Refer to wiring diagrams if necessary.
- Air Inlet: Connect the compressor's main air line to the single inlet port using appropriate fittings.
- Outlet Configuration: Connect your air tools or lines to the three 1/4" BSP outlets. Use the included screws to seal any outlets that will not be used.
- Pressure Setting: Adjust the pressure settings using the control knobs. Typically, there is a 'cut-in' pressure (when the compressor turns on) and a 'cut-out' pressure (when it turns off). Set these within the 6-8 Bar range as needed.
Compatibility:
- Designed for single-phase compressors.
- Compatible with standard 220V power supplies.
- Requires 1/4" BSP threaded fittings.
Care:
- Regularly inspect the switch for any signs of damage or wear.
- Keep the area around the switch clean and free from debris.
- Periodically check the seals on unused outlets.
- Avoid exposing the switch to excessive moisture or harsh chemicals.
