4.3 Hose
Assembly
Apply Teflon tape (1 thread back from end of fitting) to hose fitting and assemble hose
fitting to air outlet of ACS-1200 using appropriate wrenches. Connect hose to fitting.
Connect other end of hose to the 1200 humidity generator.
Important: 1) The hex fittings on the air outlet of the ACS-1200 and the 1200 humidity
generator MUST be held in place with a wrench when tightening the fitting
and hose.
2) When tightening Swagelok tube fittings, tighten Swagelok nut only 1/4 turn
past finger tight.
4.4 Power
The ACS-1200 is equipped with a power receptacle and cord having a grounding wire
with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be used with an outlet that has the
same configuration as the grounded plug and has been installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Power of the appropriate voltage, frequency, and current capacity, is applied via power
cord to the ACS-1200 power entry module.
4.4.1 Extension
Cord
If an extension cord must be used, be sure it is a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-
blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the ACS-1200
and is 14 gauge or larger and no longer than 50 feet.

COMPONENTS and CONTROLS
5.1
Power Entry Module
The Power Entry Module (PEM) allows insertion of the removable power cord, houses
the On/Off power switch, and also houses the 10 amp time-delay fuse (FS1).
5.2 Hour
Meter
The Hour Meter (HM1) tracks total run time of the ACS-1200 air compressing system.
5.3
Outlet Pressure Gauge
The Outlet Pressure Gauge (G1) indicates the regulated pressure available at the outlet
of the ACS-1200 air compressing system. This pressure is controlled by the outlet
pressure regulator.
5.4
Outlet Pressure Regulator
The Output Pressure Regulator (REG) controls the pressure available at the ACS-1200
outlet, which is indicated on the outlet pressure gauge. Turn slotted adjustment screw
clockwise to increase pressure and counterclockwise to decrease pressure.
Note: Pressures higher than 175 psi will be indicated by the "popping off" of the safety
valve and should be avoided.
