AIR CARE SEMINAR TRAINING
Sullair Air Care Seminars are courses that provide hands-on instruction for the proper operation, maintenance,
and servicing of Sullair products. Individual seminars on portable compressors and compressor electrical
systems are offered at regular intervals throughout the year at Sullair’s corporate headquarters training facility
located at Michigan City, Indiana.
Instruction includes training on the function and installation of Sullair service parts, troubleshooting common
faults and malfunctions, and actual equipment operation. These seminars are recommended for maintenance,
contractor maintenance, and service personnel.

for service or indicate the beginning of a malfunction.
NOTE
When restarting the compressor, the controller will not
allow restart until system pressure falls below 10 psig
(0.7 bar) or less. More than 10 psig (0.7 bar) can put
extra load on the starter.
Voltmeter * Monitors the condition of the batteries and the charging circuit. The
normal reading is 24 to 28 volts.
Service Air Pressure Gauge * Continually monitors the pressure inside the receiver tank at various load
and unload conditions.
Engine Temperature Gauge * Monitors the temperature of the engine water. The normal operating
temperature should read approximately 160ºF to 210ºF (71ºC to 99ºC).
Controller * Depicts system related diagnostics. Can be used for system performance
monitoring.
Compressor Temperature Gauge * Monitors the temperature of the air/fluid mixture leaving the compressor
unit. The normal reading should be approximately 170ºF to 190ºF (77ºC
to 88ºC).
System Pressure Sensor Prevents starter engagement when the air system is pressurized.
Fluid Level Sight Glass Monitors the fluid level in the receiver tank. Proper level is always visible
in the sight glass. Check the level when the compressor is shutdown.
Receiver Tank Temperature Switch Opens the electrical circuit to shut down the compressor when then
