Mxmoonant 4500Psi 30Mpa 300Bar PCP Air Compressor
READ BEFORE USE
Working with compressed air can be dangerous! You must read these instructions
fully to familiarise yourself with the operation of Portable Compressor before
using it. Misuse of the compressor could result in personal injury or
equipment damage. Do not use the compressor for anything other than PCP
(precharged pneumatic) airgun use.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
- Portable PCP Air Gun Compressor can operated with either 220v /110v AC (adjustable) power, or DC 12V Vehicle power. Leads for both systems are supplied.
- NEVER start the Portable compressor without first having started its cooling fan .
- The Portable compressor is designed to directly fill airguns with an integral cylinder or buddy-bottle air source up to 0.5 liters (500cc) volume. It should not be used for filling scuba tanks over 500cc. Any damage to the compressor or PCP airgun caused through incorrect operation or use will not be covered by the warranty.
- The Portable compressor has a MAXIMUM charging pressure of 300BAR (4,500psi/30MPa) pressure. However, many PCP airguns will have a safe working (operating) pressure that is lower than this – so DO NOT OVER-CHARGE your PCP airgun.
- ALWAYS adhere to the airgun manufacturer s operating instructions when using the Portable compressor to charge your PCP airgun
- It is recommended that you observe the position of the needle on the 5s pressure gauge of the PCP air gun and the unit pressure gauge at the same time during charging. Ensure that the position does not exceed 300BAR (4500psi/30MPa). Stop blowing air when it reaches 280BAR (3750psi/28MPa)
- To avoid the unit overheating, always operate the compressor in a well-ventilated space.
- Do not disassemble the main unit of the Portable compressor – there are no user-serviceable parts inside. However, the seals and the filter medium and filters in the hose assembly can be replaced with the spares provided (see page 8).
- ALWAYS follow the rudimentary safety procedures when charging your PCP airgun.
MAIN OPERATING PARTS
PREPARING THE UNIT FOR USE
The air line (hose assembly) attaches to the outlet at the front of the
Portable Compressor via a quick-fit, Foster-type locking connection. To secure
the Foster coupling, pull back on the outer casing of the female quick-fit
connector, [fig 1] insert over the male adapter then release [fig 2).
Note: Always double-check the connection is locked in place.
The portable compressor hose assembly contains a strainer system (see page 8) that eliminates moisture buildup and the possibility of corrosion. It is not important at which end of the air line the filter is placed, but it is more practical to connect it closest to the PCP air gun [Fig3).
The hose assembly attaches to the PCP airgun at the other end via a Foster
fit. An additional adapter/ connector may be required [fig 4) due to the many
different types of filler-fittings used across PCP airgun makes (refer
specific PCP manufacturer).
Note: A thread-to-Foster adapter is included in the accessory pack [fig
5).
POWERING UP THE UNIT
The Portable Compressor can be powered by either mains electricity (AC power) or a 12v car battery (DC power). When powered by a battery, ensure the car engine is running.
- wrong: DO NOT run the air compressor without the cooling fan in operation.
- Correct: ALWAYS run the cooling fan for two or three minutes before starting the air compressor.
Connect the supplied AC power cord (above) to the right-hand side of the main unit [fig 6] and connect the three-pin plug to the main power outlet.
Ensure the car engine is running. Connect the supplied DC power cable (above) to the right side of the main unit [fig 7].
Connect the red clip at the other end of this cable to the positive (+) terminal of the car’s 12-volt battery. Then connect the black clip to the battery’s negative (- terminal [fig 8].
CHARGING PROCESS – STARTING UP THE FAN & COMPRESSOR
With the airline (hose assembly) connected to the Portable Compressor at one
end and to the PCP airgun at the other (see page 4), and with the cooling fan
switched|fig 9] on and running, close the air bleed screw on the front of the
main unit by turning it clockwise (fig 10). It need only be finger-tight.
while the cooling fan is running, press the compressor button on the left side of the host group [Figure 11). The compressor unit will sound to start minutes to charge an empty cylinder of 500cc capacity to 300BAR.
During the charging process, the temperature of the unit (in degrees Celsius) will be visible in the LCD on the top of the main unit [fig 12), This should be monitored throughout the charging process.
IMPORTANT: If the working temperature exceeds 80 degrees Celsius, the
compressor function must be manually switched off (see page 7) and the
cooling fan left running. Restart the compressor function once the Portable
Compressor has cooled down.
Pressure Gage: Real-time display of cylinder pressure, Turn off the power
switch immediately, when the pressure gauge is about to reach 28MPa [fig 13].
CHARGING PROCESS – STOPPING THE COMPRESSOR
Should you wish to manually shut off the compressor at any time while it is
running, press the ‘COMPRESSOR’ button [fig 14] once.
IMPORTANT: When the compressor function is switched off, the cooling fan
will continue to run. The fan should be left on for around three minutes after
the compression function has been stopped [fig 14).
DISCONNECTING THE AIR LINE (HOSE ASSEMBLY)
- After the charging cycle has been completed and/or the compressor has been manually switched off, the air line (hose assembly) will still contain high-pressure air. This residual air MUST be released (‘bled off) before the hose assembly can be safely disconnected from the PCP airgun and/or main unit.
- With the compressor function stopped, open the air bleed screw on the front of the unit by turning it counter-clockwise [fig 15], You will hear a loud ‘hiss’ for a few seconds as the residual compressed air escapes from the airline.
After bleeding off, the whole hose assembly can be removed from the PCP airgun
and, if required, the main compressor unit by unlocking the foster connectors
(see page 4).
Note: On PCP airguns that use a proprietary filling connector (eg push-in
probe), the Foster connector will not need to be unlocked. Simply disconnect
the filler from the airgun as required [fig 16].
THE FILTER
The Portable Compressor comes with an integral filter system on its airline as
standard [fig 17]. This system uses a desiccant medium to remove moisture
content from the compressed air, thereby reducing the risk of corrosion
occurring inside the
PCP airgun. It also features filters to avoid dirt ingress.
Note: It is not important at which end of the airline the filter is
placed, but it is more practical to connect it closest to the PCP air gun
The desiccant medium [fig 18] will need replacing when the Portable Compressor
has completed approximately 40 or 50 filling cycles (see General Routine
Maintenance below)
GENERAL ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
There are no user-serviceable parts inside the Portable Compressor, so DO NOT semble the main compressor unit. However, the Filter desiccant medium filters, the fuse, and the O-rings on the main connector fittings can be depicted with the spares provided as required.
With the filter removed from the main unit, unscrew both knurled ends of the brass housing. Extract the dirt filters and expired desiccant, noting their orientation and the order in which they’re removed. Use a thin screwdriver to prise out the filter pads [fig 19]. Replace with new desiccant and filters and rebuild The filter in reverse order.
Routinely check the condition of the O-rings on all connection assemblies and replace if they look worn, cracked or damaged. O-rings are likely to be the cause of most charging issues, such as air leaks.
