The 12V HP Horizontal Mount is a compact, vehicle-mounted high-pressure air compressor designed specifically for fire apparatus, rescue vehicles, and other vehicles equipped with air brake systems. This unit is engineered to maintain air brake system pressure when the vehicle is parked, ensuring that the brakes remain ready for immediate use. Over time, small leaks in the air system can cause pressure to drop below the required level for proper brake function, which is why the Auto Pump is designed to automatically monitor and restore pressure as needed.
The unit includes a heavy-duty pressure switch that starts the compressor when system pressure drops to 105 PSI and stops it when pressure reaches 125 PSI. The cut-in pressure setting can be adjusted in the field, while the pressure differential remains fixed at 20 PSI. A built-in pressure gauge allows for easy monitoring of system status, and a 15-amp circuit breaker within the pressure switch provides essential electrical protection against overcurrent.
The direct-drive design connects the permanent magnet motor directly to the compressor section, eliminating the need for belts or pulleys. This setup ensures reliable operation with minimal maintenance requirements. Sealed ball bearings are used in the unit to ensure long service life, and the compressor operates independently without affecting the vehicle's engine-mounted air compressor. The model includes a manual drain system and is designed exclusively for horizontal mounting, making it ideal for use on fire trucks and rescue vehicles where space and installation orientation are critical factors.
