1.2 Compressor Flow Diagram pressure reaches 100 psi. It restarts the motor when
pressure drops below 80 psi.
During the operating cycle, compressed air flows from
the compressor head through an aftercooler (a coil During the purge cycle, the compressor motor shuts
wrapped around the purge tank). The cooled air then off and the solenoid valve opens, releasing a small
passes through a coalescing filter that removes burst of air. After this, a slow stream of air (stored in the
particulates. From the filter, the air streams flows up purge tank) continues to flow for several seconds
into the desiccant tank, through desiccant beads through the desiccant tank, coalescing filter, and out
which extract moisture. Dry compressed air is now through the solenoid. This cycle removes moisture

CAUTION: On dual and triple head units, never turn a compressor head on while another head is
running as the head may not start under back pressure. Allow the pressure switch to turn off the
compressor at 100 PSI, or disconnect the compressor main power supply, and allow line pressure to
completely relieve before turning remaining head on.
AirMax will Electrical problem ! Check main circuit breaker. Turn off “fully” then turn on “firmly”.
not run ! If circuit breaker tripped, measure voltage at line side of pressure switch
while compressor is running. The voltage for an AMD-2/4/6 should be 208-
230 VAC. The voltage range for AMD-2-115 is 104-115 VAC. Voltage
outside of this range may result in failure to start, circuit breaker tripping,
overheating and compressor damage. Install a buck or boost transformer
as required.
! Check for excessive circuit lengths, as they can cause voltage drop during
compressor operation.
! On AMD-4 and AMD-6: Isolate each head by turning off one motor at a
time. If each compressor head runs with the others turned off, but do not
run together, the voltage is too low. A boost transformer is required.
! On AMD-6: Check fuse at compressor electrical control box.
! On AMD-6: Momentarily press in the center button of the contactor (inside
electrical box). If compressor runs: Check the transformer output at the
yellow and brown wires. If voltage is not approximately 24 volts, replace
transformer. If voltage is 24 volts, replace contactor. Do not “jam”
contactor button.
! Check all electrical connections.
! If using remote control: Disconnect red and white wires at compressor
electrical box from the remote control wires and twist together to bypass
switch. If compressor runs, replace remote switch or inspect remote control
wiring.
! If not using remote control: Make sure the red and white wires at the
compressor electrical box are securely twisted together.
