Safety Information
Always disconnect power to the air compressor before attempting any installation, maintenance, or repair. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses and gloves, during installation.
Ensure the air tank is completely depressurized before working on the pressure switch. Consult your air compressor's original manual for specific safety procedures.
Installation Guide
Tools Required:
- Wrench set
- Screwdriver set (Phillips and flathead)
- Wire strippers/crimpers (if wiring connections need modification)
- Thread sealant tape (Teflon tape)
Step-by-Step Installation:
- Disconnect Power: Unplug the air compressor from the power source.
- Depressurize Tank: Open the drain valve or use the pressure relief valve to completely release all air pressure from the tank.
- Identify Old Switch: Locate the existing pressure switch on your air compressor. Note the electrical connections and air line connections.
- Disconnect Wiring: Carefully disconnect all electrical wires from the old pressure switch. Take photos or label wires if necessary to ensure correct re-connection.
- Disconnect Air Lines: Disconnect any air lines or tubes connected to the old pressure switch.
- Remove Old Switch: Unscrew or unbolt the old pressure switch from its mounting location.
- Prepare New Switch: Apply thread sealant tape to the threaded air inlet port of the new CW209300AV pressure switch.
- Install New Switch: Screw the new pressure switch into the air compressor's manifold or tank connection. Tighten securely but do not overtighten.
- Reconnect Air Lines: Reconnect all air lines and tubes to the appropriate ports on the new switch. Ensure connections are tight to prevent leaks.
- Reconnect Wiring: Connect the electrical wires to the new pressure switch. Refer to your labels or photos to ensure correct polarity and connections. The switch is typically marked 'line' and 'motor' for wiring guidance.
- Secure Components: Ensure all components are securely fastened and no wires are pinched.
- Test System: Plug the air compressor back into the power source. Observe the pressure switch operation. It should turn the compressor on when pressure drops below the cut-in setting and off when it reaches the cut-off setting. Check for any air leaks around the new switch.
Operating Instructions
The Campbell Hausfeld CW209300AV pressure switch is designed for automatic operation. Once installed and wired correctly, it will automatically manage the air compressor's on/off cycles based on the tank pressure.
- Automatic Mode: Set the red knob on the pressure switch to the "AUTO" position for normal operation. The compressor will start when tank pressure drops and stop when it reaches the set maximum pressure.
- Off Mode: To turn the compressor off, rotate the red knob to the "OFF" position. This will stop the compressor motor and prevent it from restarting automatically.
- Pressure Adjustment: Some pressure switches allow for adjustment of cut-in and cut-off pressures. Refer to your specific air compressor manual or the pressure switch's internal mechanism for adjustment procedures. Note: The CW209300AV is a replacement part; its pressure settings are typically factory-set to match original equipment specifications.
Maintenance
The CW209300AV pressure switch is a durable component designed for long life. Regular maintenance of your air compressor system will help ensure the longevity of the pressure switch and overall compressor performance.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the pressure switch and its connections for any signs of wear, corrosion, or loose wiring.
- Leak Checks: Regularly check for air leaks around the pressure switch connections using soapy water. Bubbles indicate a leak that needs to be sealed.
- Cleanliness: Keep the pressure switch free from excessive dust, dirt, and moisture, which can affect its operation.
