The Auto Pump Timer is an automatic duty-cycle controller designed to help protect compatible 12V Auto Pump air compressors from overheating and excessive wear caused by continuous operation. This device is specifically engineered for use in fire apparatus, rescue vehicles, and other emergency or specialty vehicles where reliable and safe compressor operation is critical. The timer provides additional protection when excessive air system leakage or a system malfunction causes the Auto Pump to run continuously, ensuring that the compressor does not operate beyond its intended capacity.
During normal operation, the Auto Pump pressure switch automatically starts the compressor when system pressure drops and shuts it off when proper pressure is restored. However, if an air system failure leads to continuous compressor operation, the Auto Pump Timer steps in to limit the compressor run time to one hour. After this period, a one-hour cool-down period is provided before allowing operation to resume. This cycle ensures that the compressor has sufficient time to cool down and prevents damage from prolonged use. The timer operates automatically without interfering with the normal function of the compressor or its pressure switch, maintaining the integrity of the system's control mechanisms.
The Auto Pump Timer is a reliable solution for operators who need to ensure their compressors are protected from unnecessary wear and tear. By managing the duty cycle of the compressor, it helps reduce excessive compressor wear and extends pump service life. This device is designed to work seamlessly with existing systems, requiring no additional modifications or operator intervention. Its 30-amp relay contacts are capable of handling the electrical demands of most 12V Auto Pump air compressors, making it a versatile and efficient addition to any emergency vehicle's equipment.
