Warnings
Be Careful! Tire inflation can be dangerous.
Use only trained personnel to perform tyre service.
AHCON PCI 1200 must be used by trained personnel only.
AHCON PCI 1200 must be used for inflation of motorcycles, passenger car wheels, van
and truck wheels, as wells as agricultural and industrial wheels only.
Inflating smaller wheels or toys, for instance; bicycle wheels, wheelbarrows, child
equipment wheels, child toys, footballs or any other kind of toys, is not allowed.
The equipment MUST be supplied with clean, dry air from a compressor air system / line.
Maximum supply air pressure for the 7 bar model is: 10 bar.
Maximum supply air pressure for the 12 bar model is: 14 bar.
AHCON disclaim all responsibility for failures occurring from working procedures, which do
not comply with procedures recommended by AHCON and / or tyre and rim
manufacturer’s recommendations (ETRTO / STRO).
Risks and Labelling
Max. Inlet pressure for the 7 bar version is 10 bar.
Max. Inlet pressure for the 12 bar version is 14 bar.
The PCI 1200 - 12 bar version may be used ONLY as a part of an AHCON Safety
Inflation Cage.
If this equipment is exposed to higher inlet pressure than specified, it may result in
equipment damage with the risk of explosions due to over-inflating.
Attention: Risk of personnel injury and equipment damage.

Safety Precautions
Due to the requirements of the WELMEC 7.2 standard this device is protected against
occasional software errors by use of “checksum” calculations.
Because of this, the device has to be rebooted (turned off/on) at least once every week.
We recommend however that this reboot is done on a daily basis.
Safety Distance:
None for the operator. 1 meter for anyone else.
See the safety distances for AHCON - IT Stations and AHCON - Safety Cages in the
User’s Manual that accompanies these equipment.
Noise:
The noise of this equipment is less than 70 dB (A).
However, when the tire is "seating" on the rim, there can be experienced a short, sharp,
loud noise, which can be surprising and/or uncomfortable.
Use ear protection.
Safety Devices:
If the PCI 1200 is switched off or the supply power is interrupted, the air pressure will be
vented from the connected wheel.
The PCI 1200 can be equipped with Door switches and Emergency Emptying System can
be added. See Accessories.
The equipment is designed and constructed so that the user cannot be injured under
normal use if the instructions in the “Operators Manual” are closely followed.
Protective gear:
There is no requirement for special protection gear under normal use.
However, ear protection is recommended at high numbers of daily repetitions of tire
"seating".

Screen-image immediately after turning on the PCI:
The display shows the Inflator type and software version (here; PCI 1200 –12 bar, V1.17).
This device should be restarted (turned on) once every day.
Notice the “sleep mode” that powers down the device valves and screen after 1 hour of
non-use (a connected tire will be emptied).
This does not turn off the device. Press any button to make the screen visible again.

Factory pre-set pressure values:
PCI 1200 - 7 bar model: P1: P2: P3: P4:
End-pressure 1.0 bar 2.0 bar 3.0 bar 4.0 bar
Over-pressure: 0.5 bar 0.5 bar 1.0 bar 1.0 bar
(Resulting Set-pressure: 1.5 bar 2.5 bar 4.0 bar 5.0 bar)
PCI 1200 - 12 bar model: P1: P2: P3: P4:
End-pressure 1.0 bar 2.0 bar 3.0 bar 4.0 bar
Over-pressure: 1.0 bar 1.0 bar 1.0 bar 1.0 bar
(Resulting Set-pressure: 2.0 bar 3.0 bar 4.0 bar 5.0 bar)
Setting Pressure values - End Pressure and Over-pressure (Set Pressure):
“End pressure” + “Over-pressure” = “Set pressure”
On the PCI 1200 display, the chosen End-pressure of the wheel is shown with large
figures together with the measurement unit. Value is stored at “Start”.
Below is a status bar indicating the development of the inflation sequence cycle.
At the bottom of the display, the chosen Over-pressure is displayed.
The four programs P1 - P4 can be individually set and saved.
The End-pressure are set directly using the + / - keys.
The “Over-pressure” value is set by pressing and holding the P1 –P4 button until it is
highlighted in the display. Now the value is set using the + / - keys.
Store the value by holding the P1 –P4 button or by starting an inflation sequence,
pressing the “Start” button.
The minimum possible over-pressure is 0.2 bar. The highest possible Set-pressure is 7.0
or 12.0 bar depending on the PCI 1200 model (7 or 12 bar).
For safety reasons, the PCI 1200 inflate to Set-pressure before End-pressure.
However, not in Auto Mode, where the wheel has been previously pressurized.
Note: If the sum of selected End-pressure and desired Over-pressure values exceed
maximum system pressure (7 or 12 bar), then the PCI will not start inflating.
For instance (7 bar version): If the End-pressure is set to 5.5 bar and the Over-pressure is
set to 2.0 bar, then the resulting Set-pressure sum is 7.5 bar.
