NOCO AIR20 Portable Tire Inflator and Air Compressor User Manual

Model: AIR20 | Brand: NOCO

1. Introdución

The NOCO AIR20 is a high-performance 20-amp portable air compressor with a 280-watt motor, engineered for efficient and rapid inflation. It delivers a maximum pressure of 100 PSI (6.8 bar, 689 kPa) and a maximum flow rate of 47 SLPM (standard liters per minute) or 1.66 CFM (cubic feet per minute). This device is designed for ultra-fast tire inflation, capable of inflating tires from 0 to 40 PSI in approximately 2.5 minutes (based on a 205-65R16 95H tire) and can fully inflate up to five tires in a single duty cycle. Its intelligent features, including an integrated pressure sensor and advanced Dwell technology, ensure precise inflation by automatically pausing and resuming as the set pressure is achieved, preventing over-inflation.

The AIR20 is powered directly via a 12-volt battery connection using the included clamps. It also features a digital display for easy pressure setting between 15 and 100 PSI, with selectable units (PSI, kPa, bar). For versatility, a manual mode is available for inflating items below 15 PSI, such as sports balls, bicycle tires, and inflatable toys. The unit is suitable for vehicles with tires up to 35 inches and includes a 60-lumen LED flashlight with six light modes, including an SOS function, for enhanced safety and utility.
