Hill e 3000

[bbbrownbommer]

I recently bought a hill e 3000 compressor. No matter what pressure I fill to 3000 psi to 4350 psi it is always 400 psi short. I can set for higher pressure to take care of it but will only fill to 3900 psi on a 4350 fill. I tried the offset adjustment with no luck but am unsure if I set it wright. Any advice appreciated. This is my first post.glad to be here..

I'm going to assume you're comparing it to another gauge you know is correct. First step is to detail your issue in an email to Hill in England. They are very responsive to their customers and should be able to resolve your issue. It sounds like there is a faulty pressure sensor in the compressor. They may send you replacement parts with instructions on how to replace the defective parts.

The pumps with the new software have an adjustment in the software itself. Cant tell you much more as two of their pumps died within 15 minutes total. Went back for a refund.

The flow of your setup will affect your end fill pressure..
If there is any sort of flow restriction...
EC-3000 Measures the pressure off of the water separator...
But when in doubt, email Hill!
They respond very promptly to any tech questions!!

I have to set mine according to the gun I’m filling. Some are right on and some are 10-12 off, for which I then compensate for on the pressure setting.

Thank you all for the replys. I emailed Hill and am waiting for a reply. I have six rifles and they all fill to the correct amount with a gx compressor but all are short by at least 400 psi with the hill.

Just curious why you have a GX and a Hill? Is one a backup?

 

[bbbrownbommer]

Yes it's a unit that you can run with a battery to. Emailed hill still no response from them...

I was actually thinking of adding a GX CS4 so that I could charge my Huben to a higher level. And then it would also be a backup and possibly top off my tanks. If the Hill dies, which I am not counting on, I will go with a Cultri or Alkin.

I have a Alkin w31 and it has been flawless since I got it. Only have had it a few years, but fingers are crossed it continues to last because pumping sucks.
