The AC03 airbrush compressor has two power modes:
The first is Auto Start, Auto Stop. Maximum air pressure 57PSI.
Once the pressure of the air, within the air tank, reaches a pre-set limit (set through the air pressure regulator), the airbrush compressor will automatically stop pumping.
The unit will automatically start pumping when it senses the air pressure, in the air tank, has dropping below a certain level.
The second switch position places the airbrush compressor in to a constant pumping mode. Maximum air pressure 86PSI.
This feature enables the user to achieve higher levels of air pressure for short durations which may be required by certain types of paint (candy / pearl / metallic / top coat lacquer) for correct atomisation.
A higher air pressure may also be required during the spraying of t-shirts, or other fabrics, to embed the medium in to the material.
It has a powerful 1/6th horsepower
electric motor which easily beats the performance of the most commonly
available AS186 airbrush compressor with its inbuilt electric cooling fan.
The airbrush compressor produces 23 - 25 litres of air per
minute via a single oil-free piston which ensures that your paint is not
contaminated with oils and greases found in other style compressors.
The airbrush compressor is fitted with an air pressure regulator
/ water trap which is fully adjustable and has a display dial showing the
pressure of the air being delivered to the airbrush.
Water vapour and heat are by products of placing air through a
mechanical process such as compression. The pressure regulator also acts as a
water trap to prevent your paint becoming contaminated.
The air pressure regulator has a 1/8BSP male air outlet.
1/8BSP is approximately 9.35mm in diameter. BSP denotes the type
and pitch of thread and stands for British Standard Pipe.
1/8BSP is the most common size and type of thread used with
airbrushes and associated products, including; air hoses, quick disconnect
couplers and air hose manifolds.
Knowing how to set the air pressure regulator correctly can be a
little confusing if you have never done it before.
