How often does an ARB compressor cycle when both lockers are engaged all day?

I can't imagine ever having them engaged for more than a few minutes at a time, but when engaged, mine seems to cycle at about 10 minute intervals or so. If the lockers are not activated, but the compressor swotch is on, it will still cycle evey hour or so.
When the pressure switch gets wonky, it will cycle more often, but for shorter intervals.
reviving old thread here....
Just installed the new small ARB compressor and just testing it first time, the compressor will come on enough to fill the tank and engage front locker (only have front ARB which is also new). With the locker engaged, the compressor cycles (comes on) every 70 seconds and stay on for a few seconds.
Cruiserdrew, your wonky statement sounds exactly what mine is doing. But this is a new compressor, everything is new and the locker was installed by a ARB distributor. What should I chase first?
What is a good cycle time that the small compressor should have running only one locker?
I will check that, does that mean the locker internal is leaking?
If all else fails, I'll switch from teflon tape to a liquid thread sealant.
Fixed.
Basically just reassembled everything that needed teflon tape at the compressor and then only tightened it 1/4 turn past hand tight. Holds air longer than i could have imagined, like over 30 minutes even with locker on.
That's long .. mine do about 15 - 20 mins .. but glad you found what that easy ..
