How to troubleshoot Air Techniques Air Compressor when the motor does not start?
If your Air Techniques Air Compressor motor doesn't start, here's what to check: a. Ensure the circuit breaker at the main power panel hasn't tripped. b. Verify the 24 Volt remote connections are secure. c. If the circuit breaker is defective, it will need replacement. Contact your authorized Air Techniques dealer for service.
What to do if Air Techniques Air Compressor cycles with no air demand?
If your Air Techniques Air Compressor cycles even when there is no air demand, it could be due to: a. A leak in the compressor. To check, disconnect the power, drain the tank to 85 PSI, and listen for a click. Close the tank outlet valve, turn the power on, and check the pump-up time. Contact your Air Techniques dealer if the pump-up time is incorrect. b. A leak in the office air system. Check the moisture monitor. If it's blue, drain the tank to 85 PSI to start the cycle, let it shut off at 115 PSI, close the outlet valve, wait 5 minutes, and then open the valve. If the pressure drops, the leak is in the office system. Contact your dealer or a plumber.
Why does Air Techniques Air Compressor trip the circuit breaker when starting?
If your Air Techniques Air Compressor motor tries to start but the circuit breaker trips, here's what might be happening: a. The voltage may be too low. AS10 and AS21 models need at least 105 Volts, while AS22, AS30, AS50, and AS70 require 200 Volts minimum. If it's too low, you'll need a boost transformer. Contact your dealer. b. The power supply cable might be too small. Refer to the SITE REQUIREMENTS Table for the correct size. c. There may be a loose electrical connection. Contact your authorized dealer for service.
What to do if Air Techniques Air Compressor doesn't build pressure?

The pressure switch might need adjustment. Disconnect the power, drain the tank until you hear a 'click' at 85 PSI. Close the tank outlet, turn the power on, and check the pump-up time for your model. If it's incorrect, contact your dealer.
