4.1.2 Connection to an Alternate Air Source
For ease of installation, quality of air supply, and a high level of
dependability from your
Air Locker(s) , ARB strongly recommends use
of a genuine ARB Air Compressor, however, the Air Locker air system
can be operated on any alternate air source that meets each of the
following guidelines:
Must supply a minimum of 85PSI [586kPa].
The supply must never exceed 105PSI [724kPa].
The Air source should have a tank capacity that enables it to
actuate the Air Locker(s) in one charge so that no hesitation
is experienced when locking one or two differentials.
HINT : A good way to insure that you have the necessary
capacity is to make sure you can engage, disengage,
and then reengage your Air Locker(s) without the air
source having to regenerate (e.g., without the
compressor turning on to refill the tank).
Must supply clean air, free of rust, dirt, water, or other foreign
matter.
Must match the 1/8” BSP porting of the Air Locker solenoid.
Mount solenoid within close proximity of the air supply and secure it
from the effects of vibration and shock.
Connect the air supply to the 1/8” BSP inlet port of the solenoid
(stamped “1” on the solenoid body) using thread sealant.
IMPORTANT :
ARB cannot warrant your Air Locker(s) against damage caused
as a result of using an alternate air supply. If you have any
doubts as to the suitability of your air system to use in an Air
Locker system, consult your ARB distributor.
