GlOSSARY
Cfm: Cubic feet per minute.
sCfm: Standard cubic feet per minute; a unit of measure of air delivery.
psi: Pounds per square inch; a unit of measure of pressure.
KpA (KilopAsCAl): Metric pressure measurement. 1 kilopascal equal 1000 pascals.
Code CertifiCAtion: Products that bear one or more of the following marks: UL®, CUL,
CULUS, ETL®, CETL, CETLUS, have been evaluated by OSHA certified independent safety labo-
ratories and meet the applicable Standards for Safety.
*UL® is a registered trademark of Underwriters Laboratories and ETL® is a registered
trademark of Electrical Testing Laboratories.
Cut-in pressure: While the motor is off, air tank pressure drops when accessory is used.
When the tank pressure drops to a certain low level the motor will restart automatically.
The low pressure at which the motor automatically restarts is called cut-in pressure.
Cut-out pressure: When an air compressor is turned on and begins to run, air pressure
in the air tank begins to build. It builds to a certain high pressure before the motor auto-
matically shuts off, protecting your air tank from pressure higher than its capacity. The
high pressure at which the motor shuts off is called cut-out pressure.
BrAnCh CirCuit: The circuit carrying electricity from electrical panel to outlet.
dutY CYCle: For proper operation of your air compressor, it is recommended that a 50% duty
cycle be maintained; that is, the air compressor should not run more that 5 minutes in any 10
minute period.
