I'm awaiting delivery of a Titan air compressor for one of our LS6840's and am just getting the other parts together. Can anyone offer any advice on wiring the solenoid, regulator, compressor, etc? I believe I need to use pins 1 and 6 on the Y1 connector but that's as far as I have got with it. Can anyone also recommend a specific solenoid?
Thanks in advance.

Ask HPC - personally I turn the compressor on manually - a lot easier

Re: Air Compressor, Solenoid, etc
The compressor arrived today and I've stared the setup. To test the setup, I simply plugged in the compressor and turned it on and then attached the airline to the nozzle. However, when I open the valve next to the regulator (image attached), the air flows regardless of whether the machine is running, or even turned on. Is this normal? It seems that the tank will just drain until it's empty.
Re: Air Compressor, Solenoid, etc
Duh, I've just realised, it's the solenoid that stops the flow of air and I've yet this fit this. What a numpty!
Re: Air Compressor, Solenoid, etc
As said I don't bother and just turn the valve open before hitting start and turn of after.
You can adjust the duty cycle on the compressor to give a slightly longer time between cycles as you are aiming for air flow rather than pressure.
I use an inline valve near the laser to help control the flow a bit better as well.

Re: Air Compressor, Solenoid, etc
Thanks. I've just got the solenoid in and it words really well. I'd recommend it as it was cheap to buy and easy to install.
How do you improve the duty cycle? I have the titan 22l silent compressor.

Re: Air Compressor, Solenoid, etc
Can you pm me the details for the solenoid (not allowed to post custom mods).
The instruction were in the book that came with the compressor - if if did not get one I can scan mine
Cheers
