General Specifications
D90 and D91
Max inlet supply: 218 psi / 15 bar / 1500 kPa
Recommended supply : 10 psi / 0.7 bar / 70 kPa
above the max set pressure of Inflator
D92 and D93 optional internal 7 or 10 bar compressor
Max operating pressure : 145 psi / 10 bar / 1000kPa (10 bar)
Max operating pressure : 80 psi / 5-50 bar / 550kPa (7 bar)
Min operating pressure: 4 psi / 0.3 bar / 30 kPa
Display resolution: 1 psi / 0.1 bar / 10 kPa
Units of measurement: psi / bar / kPa / kg/cm
Electrical 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.
Inside installations
Use 3 pin connecting plugs or 2 pin + Earth with the Earth Ground
wire installed on electrical infrastructure. This must be grounded.
Outdoor installations
The unit must 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"
Air installation
For models D90 and D91 only
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.

Start-up
1. Turn on power supply via the isolator switch.
2. Display will show all LCD digits check
3. Display will show the current Firmware version number e.g.
'3.2.1'
4. Display will show Program model variant '300' ( psi default)
or '302' (bar default)
5. Display will show the application, 'Std'
6. After 10 seconds the display will show 'PCL'
7. The unit will then display the set default pressure
Do not connect the hose to the tyre during start-up or E5
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 display the pressure of the tyre.
4. If the pressure in the tyre is below 3 psi, 0.2 bar or 20 kPa,
the process will not commence until is touched.
5. When the Set pressure is reached, the buzzer will sound
and the display will show 'END' with the final pressure.
6. Remove the hose from tyre.
7. For selection of alternative pressure unit touch .
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. The unit will beep but the display will not change
3. Touch 5 times
(if this is not undertaken within 10 seconds, the Inflator
reverts back to normal Inflator mode)
4. Display will show the pressures to the minimum resolution:
psi = 0.1 / Bar = 0.01 / kPa = 1 / kg/cm = 0.01
5. Connect the hose to the tyre and the display will show the
pressure in the tyre
6. When complete, touch any button to return to the last set
mode.
Isolator switch
The isolator can be turned off by simply turning the
switch clockwise or anti-clockwise.
There is a 10amp fuse installed inside the isolator
switch.
Coin mech (Optional)
1. Use the keys provided to open the door.
2. Take the coin mech holder out from underneath the
coin mech and empty the contents.
3. Re-attach the holder and lock the doors.
