QUBE Inflator Quick Start Manual
Please read these instructions carefully before attempting to assemble, install, operate or maintain the product. Protect yourself and
others by observing all safety information. Failure to do so could result in personal injury and/or damage to property. Retain these
instructions for future reference.
Air supply
Ensure the air supply is filtered and dry. This will minimise the
accumulation of dirt and water in the inflator line filters.
For efficient tyre inflation, ensure that the air supply is at least 10
psi / 0.7 bar above the intended maximum target pressure.
It is recommended that when tightening any hose connections to
the unit, the user selects two spanners. Hold the filter housing with
one spanner, to ensure it does not spin, then tighten the hose
connection with the other spanner.

For safe operation the equipment should be connected to an
approved disconnect device such as a mains isolator or switched
spur that is correctly rated according to local national standards
and regulations. The unit must be earthed and protected with a
HBC type F fuse or circuit breaker rated at 3 A and approved and
rated according to local national standards and regulations. The
disconnect device must be marked as the disconnecting device for
the equipment, it must be located close to the equipment and be
accessible at all times.

To enable setting of OPS
1. Touch and display will toggle 'OPS' and blank value
2. Increment the OPS value between 0-29 psi / 0-2 bar by
touching and , to accept the value, touch
3. Display will revert to the Set pressure previously selected.
Using OPS
The OPS value is added to the final target pressure setting to give
the Over Pressure.
Example
A final set pressure of 32 psi / 2.2 bar is required with an OPS
value of 15 psi / 1 bar. The tyre will now inflate (from flat
condition only) to 47 psi / 3.2 bar. Once the OPS value has
been achieved, the unit will deflate back to the desired set
pressure.
Note that The OPS value will not be applied when the tyre has a
pressure of more than 2 psi / 0.15 bar.
To prevent the accidental use of OPS, the OPS setting is not
retained after the machine is powered down.
When using the OPS function, the
sum pressure must not exceed the
tyre manufactures maximum inflation
pressure.
N2 (N2P) Operation
Inflation and deflation (tyre top off)
1. Set desired pressure, by touching either or
2. Connect the hose to the tyre.
3. The process will not commence until is touched.
4. When the Set pressure is reached, the buzzer will sound
and the display will show 'END' with the final pressure.
5. Remove the hose from tyre.
N2 Conversion of Existing tyres
For normal use a purity level of between 93% and 96% N2 is
sufficient for most road tyres.
If your N2 generation source is greater than 97% then it is
sufficient to leave the default setting of 2 purges. For N2
generation sources less than 97%, then to achieve the required
N2 purity, consider adding additional purge cycles.
The final N2 purity can be periodically checked using a N2 meter
(PCL Part Number N2A001).
For adjustments to Inflators parameters please refer to your
Distributor or PCL.
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.
Service/Maintenance
Periodically
· Check the hose
· Check the tyre connector
· Remove the air input supply and tyre hose from the head
and check the filters are clean
Contact your distributor or PCL for replacement spare parts.
To access
1. Ensure the outlet hose is disconnected from the tyre.
2. Touch and together.
3. The unit will beep but the display will not change.
4. Touch 5 times.
(if this is not done within 10 seconds, the inflator reverts
back to the normal mode)
5. Display will show the pressures to the minimum
resolution: psi = 0.1 / bar = 0.01.
6. Connect the hose to the tyre and the display will show
the pressure in the tyre.
7. When complete, touch any button to return to the normal
mode.
Preset Operation
For models that include preset buttons P1 to P4.
The presets can be used to store and recall commonly used
pressure settings.
· Press and hold the preset button to store the current set
pressure to the selected preset.
· Press briefly the preset button to recall the preset pressure.
