Troubleshooting Chart; Moisture In Compressed Air - Campbell Hausfeld FP260200 Manual De Instrucciones

Operating Instructions and Parts Manual
Moisture in compressed air will form into droplets as it comes from an air compressor pump. When humidity is high or when
a compressor is in continuous use for an extended period of time, this moisture will collect in the tank. When using a paint
spray or sandblast gun, this water will be carried from the tank through the hose, and out of the gun as droplets mixed with
the spray material.
IMPORTANT: This condensation will cause water spots in a paint job, especially when spraying other than water based paints.
If sandblasting, it will cause the sand to cake and clog the gun, rendering it ineffective. A filter in the air line (MP3105),
located as near to the gun as possible, will help eliminate this moisture.

Stop using tool immediately if any of the following problems occur. Serious personal injury could occur.
Any repairs or replacements must be done by a Qualified Service Person or Authorized Service Center.
Symptom Possible Cause(s)
Compressor will 1. Switch in OFF position
not run
2. No electrical power at wall outlet
3. Compressor has reached automatic
shut-off pressure
4. Motor overheated / overworked
5. Loose electrical connection
6. ON / OFF switch bad
7. Pressure switch bad
8. Defective motor
Thermal overload 1. Lack of proper ventilation / room
protector cuts out temperature too high
repeatedly
2. Excessive air usage, compressor too
small
Tank pressure 1. Open tank drain valve
drops when
2. Loose connections (fittings, tubing,
compressor shuts
air hose, any connections, etc.)
off
3. Tank leaks
Compressor runs 1. Excessive air usage, compressor
continuously / air too small
output lower than
2. Open tank drain valve
normal
3. Loose connections (fittings, tubing,
air hose, any connections, etc.)
4. Pump wore out
Excessive moisture 1. Excessive water in tank
in discharge air
2. High humidity
Safety valve pops 1. Defective pressure switch
open
2. Defective safety valve

Corrective Action
1. Make sure compressor is plugged in and switch
is ON
2. Check circuit breaker or fuse at electrical panel.
3. Release air from tank until compressor restarts automatically
4. Switch unit to OFF, wait 30 minutes to cool, turn ON again
to resume work. Make sure compressor is run in a clean,
well-ventilated area where temperature will not exceed
100°F.
5. Check all electrical connections
6. Replace ON / OFF switch
7. Replace pressure switch
8. Replace pump / motor assembly
1. Move compressor to a clean,well ventilated area where
temperature will not exceed 100°F.
2. Decrease usage or purchase unit with higher air delivery
(SCFM)
1. Close tank drain valve
2. Check all connections with soap and water solution. If a leak
is detected, tighten. Or remove fitting and apply pipe tape
to threads and reassemble.
3. Check entire tank for leaks with soap and water solution.
1. Decrease usage or purchase unit with higher air delivery

2. Close tank drain valve
3. Check all connections with soap and water solution. If a leak
is detected, tighten. Or remove fitting and apply pipe tape
to threads and reassemble.
4. Replace pump / motor assembly
1. Drain tank, tilt tank to remove moisture
2. Move to area of less humidity; use air line filter
1. Replace pressure switch
2. Replace safety valve with genuine replacement part
5
Do not disassemble check valve with air in
tank, bleed tank first.
