Accuair pressure sensor question

What pressure does the elevel system cut on and off the compressors? Does it stop at 150psi or 200psi?

Re: Accuair pressure sensor question

Looks like 150psi.

Re: Accuair pressure sensor question

Thanks for the link. i couldnt get that far on my phone because of FLash player. The site says the tank sensor is 0-200psi. but only states the off and on pressures next to the "compressor specs" which dont apply to me since i ordered my kit with air zenith compressors. but il just have to test it when i get it mocked up.
The reason i ask is because im running a stock pressure gauge in the factory cluster and it only reads up to 150 psi, so i wanted to figure out if i needed to put a regulator in line with the gauge as not to destroy it.

Re: Accuair pressure sensor question

the pressure sensor is programable, meaning you can change the on/off pressure from 150 to 200psi depending on the compressor. IMHO i have the entire ELevel system and originally had two OB2 comps and due to the amount of power draw they have, the fact that you have to wire in not only a relay for each compressor but also the relay for the ELevel system there is a lot of wireing involved to make it work right, you will have to run two batteries also to achieve the right amount of power and any power cord length on the comps more than a few feet will require 2 sizes larger ran from the relay to your power source, you will also have more grounds too...I ended up going with dual 444c Viair comps along with Accuairs power line kit, this was how it was all made to work.....even though the comps from AZ are great and I will use them on on a diff project I just had to many issues makeing the two systems look, and work well together. Just my 2cents but I would definetly consider Viar due to the fact the ELevel system was designed in conjuction with those compressors, their water traps, their power kit and fuse design, etc etc.....When using that kind of quality of product its always a good Idea to use what the manufactures designed it with,,,,,plus your talking about losing a few seconds of air up time depending on volume. If you want to be able to play alot with the system I would run two comps for 1 5gallon tank and keep adding that till you happy with it or just run a EDC so air gain is never an issue....this is based on experiance on the compressors as you can look thru my pics and its all mocked with AZ comps but at the end of the day I ended up using the EXO tanks and 444c Viar only because that is how Accuair designed all this to work. If you need help doing the wires using the OB2 compressors let me know or contact Paul(owner) at Air Zenith as he runs the OB2 compressor(single) with the Accuair kit. sorry so long winded

Re: Accuair pressure sensor question

I already have everything, elevel, dual OB2, dual optimas, and 160a alternator. I get a little lost in your explanation, but if you have a diagram or visual aid, il hear you out. Just in mock up, the wiring of the air system seems pretty straight forward with Accuair's and AirZenith great quality.
The batteries are mounted on each side of the rear of the frame, as are the compressors, so each compressor will have short traveled power.
