Using multiple air receivers
Depending on the size of the building or enclosure you are testing, it may be necessary to use more than one air receiver to achieve sufficient pressurisation and produce a valid result.
Up to three air receivers can be directly connected and powered by the controller. If more than three air receivers are required, an external Power over Ethernet (PoE+) switch is required.
The switch must be independently powered and is linked to the controller to expand the number of ports available to connect additional air receivers. A maximum of 10 air receivers are supported.
Contact our sales team to purchase a standalone PoE+ switch.
Charging air receivers
When you connect the air compressor to an air receiver and turn the power on, the air receiver starts charging and will be pressurised to either a maximum of 10 bar or a lower charge pressure that you have set in the controller software.
When the air receiver has reached this limit or is fully charged, the compressor will switch off automatically. Charging should take approximately 8 minutes for a single 40L air receiver to fully charge from empty to its maximum 10 bar capacity.
When using multiple air receivers, the compressor should be connected to the first air receiver as normal until
it is fully charged. Then the compressor air hose can be moved from the charged air receiver to the next air receiver. This is repeated until all desired air receivers are charged.
You can save time by measuring and preparing the rest of the building, whilst waiting for the air receivers to charge.
Optional hose splitter
An optional hose splitter can be used to charge two air receivers simultaneously by having both air receivers connected to the compressor at the same time.
This will save the work of needing to move the compressor air hose between air receivers, but will not affect the time spent charging the air receivers, which is limited by the size of the compressor.
