TOP-UP PSI 

This parameter allows tank pressure to be close to system pressure.  
If pressure goes below SYSTEM PRESSURE minus TOP-UP PSI 
(ie. 150PSI 

– 10PSI = 140PSI) the inlet will open and fill to system 

pressure and reset the idle timer.  
 

HIGH AIR RATE 

Air rate is a change in time of pressure (PSI/seconds) used to 
monitor if an air-tool is being used. Setup of this parameter depends 
on the air tool and tank size. 
A small tank using a large tool will have a large air-rate, if the tank 
size is increased the air rate will be lower.  
This parameter allows a quick restart response when the system is in 
STANDBY rather than reaching the restart pressure to restart the 
system. 
  

RESTART PRESSURE 

This parameter is used to restart the system when pressure has 
gone below the set value in STANDBY. 
 

COLD ENGINE RESTART 

This will allow the engine to restart if temperature has dropped below 
a preset value in STANDBY. 
 

DISABLE AUTO RESTART 

Disable the engine from restarting in STANDBY after an adjustable 
time. 
 

ALLOW LOW BATTERY RESTART 

Allow to restart the engine from STANDBY if the voltage threshold is 
below BATTERY RESTART LOWER THRESHOLD for 30 
continuous seconds.  
 

BATTERY RESTART LOWER THRESHOLD 

Low battery threshold for a restart request. 
 

BATTERY RESTART UPPER THRESHOLD 

After a low battery restart the system will stay in RUNNING until 
battery voltage is above the upper voltage threshold to start the 
BATTERY RESTART DELAY.  
 

BATTERY RESTART DELAY 

Delay to keep the idle timer reset so the battery will charge. A 2 
minute delay is typical for a RAPTAIR battery, 5 minutes or greater 
for additional batteries (ie. truck batteries).
