GLOSSARY
Become familiar with these terms before operating the unit.
CFM: Cubic feet per minute.
SCFM: Standard cubic feet per minute; a unit of measure of air delivery.
PSIG: Pounds per square inch gauge; a unit of measure of pressure.
Code Certification: Products that bear one or more of the following marks:
UL, CUL, ETL, CETL, have been evaluated by OSHA certified independent
safety laboratories and meet the applicable Underwriters Laboratories
Standards for Safety.
California Code: Unit may comply with California Code 462 (l) (2)/(M) (2).
Specification/model label is on the side of the tank on units that comply with
California Code.
Unloader Blow-Off Pressure: All models are continuous running units con-
trolled by tank pressure. When the maximum tank pressure is obtained, the
unloader valve will blow-off. This will cause the compressor to exhaust the air
to the atmosphere and not the tank. This decreases the load on the engine and
allows it to run at a near no-load condition.
Unloader Reset Pressure: When the tank pressure drops to a predetermined
point, the unloader valve closes. The tank pressure will now increase until it
reaches the unloader blow-off pressure.
