ABOUT COMPRESSOR DUTY CYCLE:

Duty cycle refers to the amount of time a compressor can be
operated in a given time period at 100 

PSI, and a standard ambient temperature of 72° F. It is commonly expressed in percentage format: 

Compressor on time ÷ (on time + off time) = Duty Cycle %.

NOTE: All compressors, regardless of rated duty cycle, require sufficient rest time in between cycles 

to allow for partial or complete heat dissipation. Heat dissipation rates may vary depending on 

ambient temperatures and operating conditions.

ABOUT RATED WORKING PRESSURE:

To ensure trouble free service life of your compressor, always operate compressor within rated 

working pressure of the compressor. Never use a pressure switch with a higher cut-off pressure than
