Engine drive compressor remote.

admin

Made a remote start for the compressor while I'm on vacation. At least now I don't have to climb the side of the truck to start/stop the compressor. Works great, high throttle till 180psi and then kicks back on @ 160psi. I'll probably have to retune the Pilot Valve when the hot weather comes back. One of the 3 safety valves will blow at 200psi. But for now I'm loving it..

Reply:Just speaking from experience here, I would replace the long nipple and copper tube with nylon air brake tubing, that copper stuff does not like vibration. Otherwise I like it. I've always set my trucks up to run everything from the ground.

Reply:tagged compressor remote panelHoly crap! Just two days ago I searched the internet like crazy trying to find a remote panel for an air compressor! I even called aircompressorsdirect.com and asked them with no luck. Very cool. I just might PM you in the future for questions. I got a line on a Champion compressor, for free

, but I have to make a run out to Virginia to snag it!

Very nice work. Can you give a tour of your truck?Last edited by Stick-man; 2 Hours Ago at 01:06 AM."Where's Stick man????????" - 7A749"SHHHHHH!! I sent him over to snag that MIC-4 while tbone wasn't looking!
