The Auto Pump 12V is a compact, vehicle-mounted air compressor designed specifically for maintaining air brake system pressure in fire apparatus, rescue vehicles, and other air-brake-equipped emergency or specialty vehicles. This unit automatically compensates for normal air system leaks while the vehicle is not in use, helping to keep the air brake system properly pressurized for immediate dispatch. By doing so, it reduces the risk of brake lockup caused by low air pressure, ensuring that the vehicle is ready when needed.
The Auto Pump features a pressure switch that continuously monitors the vehicle's air system. When the pressure drops to approximately 75 PSI, the switch automatically starts the compressor. The unit continues operating until the system pressure reaches around 95 PSI, at which point it shuts off. This automatic cycling ensures consistent air pressure without requiring constant operator intervention. The pressure switch also includes an integrated 15-amp circuit breaker for added electrical protection against overcurrent conditions.
The Auto Pump operates independently of the vehicle's engine-mounted air compressor, making it a reliable backup system in case the main compressor fails or is not in use. It can be installed in either a horizontal or vertical orientation to fit various vehicle configurations and mounting spaces. The unit’s sealed ball bearings and lifetime lubrication ensure dependable operation with minimal maintenance requirements, while its compact design helps conserve valuable space in the apparatus compartment.
