4.1. Pre-Installation Checks

1. Disconnect Power: Ensure the air compressor is unplugged from its power source.
2. Depressurize Tank: Fully drain all air pressure from the compressor tank.
3. Gather Tools: You will need a screwdriver, wrench, thread sealant tape, and appropriate PPE.

4.2. Removing the Old Switch (if applicable)

1. Carefully disconnect all electrical wiring from the old pressure switch, noting their positions for re-connection. It is recommended to take a photo.
2. Unscrew the old pressure switch from the air tank and disconnect any attached unloader lines or pressure gauges.

4.3. Installing the New Pressure Switch

1. Prepare Connections: Apply thread sealant tape to the ¼ inch NPT male threads of the air tank connection point.
2. Mount Switch: Carefully thread the new LEFOO pressure switch onto the air tank connection. Tighten securely with a wrench, ensuring a snug fit without overtightening.
3. Connect Unloader Valve: Attach the ¼ inch compression unloader valve line to the designated port on the pressure switch. Ensure this connection is also secure.
4. Electrical Wiring: Open the lid of the pressure switch to access the electrical terminals. Connect the power wires according to the wiring diagram provided on the switch or your compressor's manual. Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
5. Install Pressure Gauge (if applicable): If your setup includes a separate pressure gauge, install it into the appropriate port on the pressure switch or manifold.
6. Install Regulator (if applicable): If your setup includes a regulator, connect it to the appropriate port and tighten securely.
7. Install Connector (if applicable): Install any quick-connect fittings or other connectors required for your air tools.
8. Close Lid: Once all connections are made and verified, securely close the lid of the pressure switch.

5. Operation

The LEFOO LF10-1H-1-NPT1/4-95-125 pressure switch is designed for automatic control of your air compressor's start and stop cycles based on tank pressure.

1. Power On: After successful installation, plug in your air compressor. The pressure switch will automatically engage the compressor when the tank pressure drops to approximately 95 PSI.
2. Automatic Shut-off: The compressor will run until the tank pressure reaches approximately 125 PSI, at which point the pressure switch will automatically shut off the compressor.
3. Manual Operation: The switch typically includes a manual lever (often red) to manually turn the compressor ON or OFF, overriding the automatic function. Refer to your compressor's specific instructions for manual operation.
4. Pressure Adjustment: Some pressure switches allow for adjustment of the cut-in and cut-out pressures. If your model supports this, consult the internal diagram or your compressor's manual for adjustment procedures. Note: This specific model is rated for 95-125 PSI.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable operation of your pressure switch and air compressor system.

• Inspect Connections: Periodically check all air and electrical connections for tightness and signs of wear or corrosion. Tighten as necessary.
• Check for Leaks: Listen for air leaks around the pressure switch and connections. Apply a soapy water solution to connections to identify leaks (bubbles will form).
• Clean: Keep the exterior of the pressure switch clean and free from dust, dirt, and debris.
• Unloader Valve Check: Ensure the unloader valve operates freely and is not obstructed. A malfunctioning unloader valve can cause the compressor motor to struggle on startup.
• Electrical Inspection: With power disconnected, inspect electrical wiring for fraying, damage, or loose terminals.
