The EGOI 2 Air Compressor System is a permanent on-board dual motor air compressor designed for various air applications, including tire inflation, hand air tool operation, and air locker activation. This system boasts a 6.1 CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) output, indicating its capacity for rapid air delivery.
Function Description:
The primary function of the EGOI 2 compressor is to provide a reliable source of compressed air for on-demand use. It is equipped with dual motors, which contribute to its high air output and efficiency. The compressor is designed to be permanently installed in a vehicle, drawing power from the vehicle's 12V battery system. For applications requiring prolonged use or powering air tools, it is recommended to connect the compressor to a separate air tank. This setup helps dissipate heat generated during compression and allows the compressor to run more efficiently. The system includes a pre-installed on/off rocker switch for easy operation and air filters for maintaining air quality.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Model: EGOI 2
- Type: Permanent On Board Dual Motor Air Compressor System
- Air Flow Rate: 6.1 CFM
- Power Source: 12V DC (vehicle battery)
- Wiring Harness: Includes a 7ft wiring harness for connection to the 12V power source. An optional 90” extension wiring harness (part number 02-0318) is available for additional length.
- Fuses: Two in-line fuses are provided and should be installed as close to the battery connection as possible for protection.
- Mounting: The compressor features a pre-installed base plate with 12 nutserts, allowing for flexible mounting using a minimum of 4 included mount bolts.
- Outlet Port: The compressor's outlet port can be directly fitted with a hose coupling for tire inflation or a 1/4 in. x 1/4 in. NPT Male Industrial Steel Coupler (e.g., Huskey part number 603 837) for quick disconnect with an air hose.
Usage Features:
- Versatile Applications: Suitable for tire inflation, operating hand air tools, and activating air lockers. Different outlet port connections may be required depending on the specific application.
- Rapid Inflation: The high CFM rating allows for rapid inflation of tires.
- On-Board Convenience: Designed for permanent installation in a vehicle, providing compressed air on the go.
- Integrated Controls: Features a pre-installed on/off rocker switch for straightforward operation.
- Heat Management: For extended use, connecting to a separate air tank is advised to help dissipate heat and improve efficiency.
- Power Connection: Requires careful connection to a reliable 12V power source, ensuring correct voltage to prevent damage to the DC motor.
- Leak Testing: After installation of fittings or an Air Delivery System (ADS) unit, it is crucial to check for leaks using soap and water. A compressor cycling on within 15 minutes of being fully charged indicates a leak, most commonly at the fittings.
Maintenance Features:
- Air Filter Service: The mounting location should allow access to both air filter assemblies for service, ensuring they remain clean and free from moisture or dirt exposure.
- Wiring Harness Inspection: Regularly check the wiring harness for any signs of wear, vibration, or interference with moving components. Secure the harness with cable ties to prevent damage.
- Fittings Maintenance: If leaks are detected at the fittings, they should be removed, threads cleared, and thread sealant (Teflon tape) reapplied, ensuring proper tightening.
- Mounting Security: Ensure the compressor is securely mounted to prevent vibration and ensure stability.
- Clean Airflow: The mounting position should allow for cool, clean airflow to the compressor and air filter assemblies to optimize performance and longevity.
- Environmental Protection: Avoid mounting in areas prone to excessive moisture (rain runoff, road spray), direct sunlight, or heat sources to protect the compressor from environmental damage.
