THE SIMPLE task of inflating a tyre can be complicated by an air hose with a difficult-to-read or damaged readout.
To make things easier, Schrader Automotive Products has introduced a digital forecourt air gauge offering greater tyre pressure accuracy.
Made in tough plastic with rubber covers to protect against shock and contamination, Digit Air can inflate vehicle tyres to within a tolerance of 0.01 bar (0.15psi A clear digital display gives readings from 0.3 bar (4.35psi), to 12 bar (174psi) and the unit is equipped with an indicator which displays either overload or weak battery conditions within the unit. No maintenance is required other than battery replacement, with each battery giving a total life of 15,000 readings of thirty seconds each.
Digit Air is simple to install, and comes supplied with a wall stowing panel to help avoid accidental damage by a vehicle driving over a unit left on the ground.
