compressor keeps running

  • Question Title: compressor keeps running
  • Asked by: Guest

  • Answers: 1

                        I installed a new pressure switch cw211300av on my compressor and the compressor keeps running. The safety valve opens at 150psi  just wondering what i can do to get the compressor to shut off before the safety valve opens? 

Is there a adjustment screw on the pressure switch where I can adjust the pressure? Your help on this would be appreciated.. Thank you

Hi,

Sounds like you need to set the pressure switch to the right pressure, like you suspected.

But I don't know this particular type/model, but it looks like a general purpose one.

Please see my pages about pressure switches for more information on how to adjust the pressure, how they work, etc,etc:

Good luck! Cas
