This Equipment also complies with the EC directives:

 2004/108/EC (EMC directive)

confirmed by report No.10655/TR/1

 73/23/EEC (LOW Voltage Directive)

as amended by 93/68/EEC
Accordance with IEC/EN 61010-1:2001 confirmed by
report No. TTR-004115-18-00

Installation

In order to provide a trouble free operation it is necessary to
connect the power supply from the main switchboard with a MAX
3amp fuse/RCB protection device. This must be grounded.

The circuit breaker should be marked as the disconnecting device
for the equipment.

The recommended supply line materials are copper or galvanised
steel tube and it is important that the line is blown out thoroughly,
to remove any foreign matter, before connection is made to the
unit.

Air Supply Connection
Wall Mounted Unit - G 1/4 female thread..
Pedestal Mounted Unit - G 3/8 male thread

The compressor producing the air should have the necessary

water and dirt filtration, to minimise accumulation of debris at the
inflator line filter strainer.
For efficient tyre inflation, ensure that the air supply is 10 psi, 0.7
bar or 70kpa above the intended maximum inflation range.

Wall Mounted unit

When attached to a wall or other structure the unit must be surely
fixed by the means of 4 screws (mounting footprint can be found
on page 4)

Pedestal unit

This unit must be securely fixed to the floor by the means of 4
screws, running the air supply through the centre of the upright
post (mounting footprint can be found on page 4)

Inside installations

Use 3 pin connecting plugs or 2 pin + Earth with the Earth Ground
wire installed on electrical infrastructure.

Outdoor installations

The unit can be connected to an earth conductor or conducting
metal work (metal pipe conduit or sheathing) which has equi­potential bonding to the main Earthing point of the installation.

The unit is designed to run with the earth connection installed.
"According to Class 1 - Basic insulation in conjunction with
protective Earthing"

Calibration & Accuracy

The accuracy of our digital units when released from our factory is
that:-

The maximum permissible error (MPE) = 0.08 bar

Each unit, before release, is checked and calibrated on test
equipment that has accuracy traceable to a UKAS Laboratory No.
0221 referenced to certificate 0029346.

Start-up

After services connection to the unit ensure the following:

1. For efficient tyre inflation ensure that the maximum air
supply is 10 psi or 0.7 bar above the intended maximum
inflation range

2. The unit will open for a very short time one deflate pulse
before returning to the SET default pressure. Do not
connect hose to tyre during start-up or Error 3 will show.

Standard Operation

Inflation and deflation

1. Set desired pressure, by touching either or

2. Connect the hose to the tyre.

3. Automatic inflation will commence to the set pressure,
periodically stopping to indicate the pressure of the tyre.

4. If the pressure in the tyre is below 3psi, 0.2bar or
20kpa, the process will not commence until is
touched.

5. When the Set pressure is reached, the buzzer will sound
and the final tyre pressure displayed.

6. Remove the hose from tyre.

For adjustments to Inflators parameters

please refer to your Distributor or PCL.

This unit is not suitable for the filling of
bicycle tyres with a standard (Presta,
Woods) bicycle valves and adapters. Over
fill of the tyre is possible!

User Inspection mode

It is possible to set the inflator to act as a pressure gauge.
The display resolution is changed and can be used to reference the
inflator against a calibrated pressure source. The inflator automatic
cycle is inhibited.

To access:-

1. Touch and together

2. Touch 5 times
(if this is not undertaken within 10 seconds, the Inflator
reverts back to normal Inflator mode)

3. Display will show the pressures to the minimum resolution:
psi = 0.1 / Bar = 0.01 / kpa = 1 / kg/cm = 0.01

4. Connect the hose to the tyre and the display will show the
pressure in the tyre

5. When complete, touch any button to return to the last set
mode.
