Calibrating your JACO Superior Products JSP-013 FlowPro Digital Tire Inflator is essential for ensuring accurate tire pressure readings. Here's a simple guide to help you calibrate your inflator:
- Preparation: Begin by ensuring the inflator is turned off and disconnected from any tire valve stems.
- Enter Calibration Mode: Press and hold the power button for approximately three seconds. The display should show "CAL", indicating calibration mode has been activated.
- Zero Calibration: While in calibration mode, press and hold the power button again for about three seconds. The display will show "CAL 0.00", signaling zero calibration.
- Connect to a Reliable Pressure Source: Attach the inflator to a known, reliable pressure source. This could be a calibrated pressure gauge or another tire inflator that you trust to be accurate.
- Set a Known Pressure: Activate the pressure source and adjust it to a known pressure value. For example, you might set it to 30 PSI.
- Capture the Reading: Once the pressure stabilizes, press the power button on the JSP-013 inflator to capture the pressure reading.
- Compare and Note: The display on your JACO inflator will now show the captured pressure. Compare this reading to the known pressure value set on your pressure source.
- Adjust if Necessary: If the displayed pressure value on your JACO inflator differs from the known pressure value, use the "+" or "-" buttons to adjust the calibration. Increase or decrease the displayed value until it matches the known pressure.
- Repeat and Refine: Repeat steps 6 and 7, making adjustments as needed, until the readings align.
- Exit Calibration Mode: When calibration is complete and the readings match, press and hold the power button for approximately three seconds to exit calibration mode.
Regular calibration helps maintain the accuracy of your JACO Superior Products JSP-013 FlowPro Digital Tire Inflator, ensuring safe and efficient tire inflation. If you need more help, check the user manual or contact JACO customer support.
