Ok, I pulled out the manual and it says:The governor controls when the air compressor will pump air into the air storage tanks. When air tank pressure rises to the "cut-out" level (around the 125 psi) the governor stops the compressor from pumping air. When the tank pressure falls to the "cut-in" press (around 100psi) the governor allows the compressor to start pumping again.
I usually wait till the pist noise, where the system releases a burst of air.
I will go check it again to see what it is doing.
There is soooo much more to know about this unit then the gas one. jeez.
I also have what's called a dual air brake which is a dual air system and it uses a single set of brake controls. It says each system has its own air tanks, etc. One operates the regular brakes on the rear axle or axles, the other operates the regular brakes on the front and possibly one rear axle. Both supply air to the trailer, car? if there is one.
Before driving with a dual system allow time for the compessor to build to a minimum of 100 psi in both primary and secondary systems. That's what I do.
Ok, I went out let it air up, the red gauge line is the one for the brakes, it goes to 60 and the buzzer turns off. The unit continues raising and the white gauge is a bit slower then the red. But they both go to about 118 and stop, then I hear the pssst noise or air release. Neither goes above this to 125. I looked and the chassis is raised up and brakes are functioning I checked. When I went out to start it it was almost at 60 and I had ran it yesterday or was it the day before, didn't take long for the buzzer to go off.
Just looking at my battery levels and both are topped out. Doesn't seem to take long for that to happen so the chargine system is good. Tomorrow need to check the generator battery, it has a manual switch you are supposed to flip on while running down the road or so it says to charge it. It will not charge from the other systems and no gauge for it anywhere, seems odd but thats the way it is way it is. I check it with a meter. I had not had the switch on all this time when running, so about a week ago charged the battery with our charger.
I need to look and see what if any of the tanks I have to empty. It states this chassis is equpped with an automatic air/moisture ejector for the air tanks drains for the braking system. I'm thinking the pssst I'm hearing is this tank spitting instead of an air release.
So any other tanks to drain on a routine basis, need to read I guess? And should I have the system checked since it doesn't reach 125 psi, when I go to the mechanic
Still learning it seems.
