Troubleshooting FAQ
Possible Cause: No power supply
Solution: Check and restore power supply
The inflation process does not commence. Even when the pressure is set and the hose is connected to the tyre.
Possible Cause: The tyre is deflated below 3psi / 20 kPa / 0.2 bar
Solution: Press [start] button
Possible Cause: The hose chuck is faulty
Solution: Replace the hose chuck
The display will not move / is stuck / is frozen on a particular value.
Possible Cause: The switch is damaged
Solution: Remove and clean the faceplate
Possible Cause: The deflate tubing is damaged
Solution: Remove and clean the silencer plug
Possible Cause: The beeper is damaged
Solution: Replace the beeper
Possible Cause: Low or nil supply pressure
Solution: Check and restore the supply pressure
Possible Cause: unstable pressure due to faulty chuck
Solution: Replace the hose chuck
Possible Cause: unstable pressure due to faulty hose
Solution: Press the [flat tyre] button to ensure air is purging correctly. You should hear 5x bursts of air. Replace the hose if not.
Possible Cause: unstable pressure due to unit fault
Solution: If chuck and hose is in working order, remove the hose from the unit and test. If Er1 message continues, contact Airtec Corporation.
Possible Cause: Persistent unstable pressure, faulty hose chuck
Solution: Replace the hose chuck
Possible Cause: Incorrect supply pressure
Solution: Check the air compressor supply pressure
Possible Cause: Inflate & Deflate valve connections are reversed
Solution: Check the valve connections on the PCB
Possible Cause: Low or nil supply pressure
Solution: Check the air compressor supply pressure
Possible Cause: Initial or final pressure is too high, exceeding the maximum pressure by more than 20 psi / 140 kPa / 1.4 bar
Solution: Disconnect hose chuck, reset processor by switching off the power for a minimum of 5 seconds. If error message reappears contact an authorised technician to replace PCB
Possible Cause: Low supply voltage
Solution: Check power supply. The message will clear when the correct voltage is restored
Possible Cause: Programme or PCB Error
Solution: Reset machine by switching off the power for a minimum of 5 seconds. If error message reappears contact an authorised technician to replace PCB
Possible Cause: Insufficient supply pressure
Solution: Check the air compressor supply pressure
Possible Cause: Loose hose chuck
Solution: Check hose chuck
Possible Cause: Calibration error
Solution: Unit requires calibration, contact your local service agent to facilitate
Possible Cause: Automatic Calibration Check/Calibration Error
Solution: Reset machine by switching off the power for a minimum of 5 seconds. The ER9 message will clear automatically when the factory calibration is restored. If the ER9 message continues to appear, replace the PCB board
Possible Solution: Unstable supply pressure
Solution: Check the air compressor supply pressure
Possible Solution: Hose disconnection during inflate cycle
Solution: Check the hose chuck
Possible Cause: Short circuitry on valve connection
Solution: Check and dry the valve connection
Possible Cause: Short circuitry on buzzer connection
Solution: Check and dry the buzzer connection
Possible Cause: Emergency stop button has been pressed
Solution: Disconnect hose from tyre, check and reset Emergency Stop button
Possible Cause: Output selector switch is not selected
Solution: Disconnect check and select ‘Vehicle Selector’ switch or ‘Bicycle Selector’ switch prior to connecting chuck to tyre for inflation. If problem persists disconnect chuck and press < i > button
