Using the hardware display

The optional hardware display is wired directly to the pump.is controller. It does not need Bluetooth or a phone, and it can control the same tires and air suspension as the app.

For everyday use, remember three actions: rotate to change pressure, press to confirm, and double-click to activate.

Jump to Main screen, Warnings and alarms, Menu reference, Advanced settings, or Airpads.

Controls

The display uses one rotary knob:

  • Rotate to change a value or move through a menu.
  • Press to confirm or select.
  • Double-click on the main screen to activate or deactivate the system.
  • Press and hold on the main screen to open the menu. From anywhere else, press and hold to return to the main screen.

Main screen

The large number in the center is the target pressure. The smaller tire values below it are the latest measurements.

The border shows whether pressure control is running:

  • Red — inactive; the controller will not inflate or deflate.
  • Blue — active and working toward the target.

Change the target pressure

Rotate the knob. The target turns orange to show that it has not been saved yet.

Press once to confirm. The display remembers the target after the vehicle is powered off and back on.

Activating the system

Double-click the knob from the main screen to activate. The border turns blue and pump.is starts moving the tires toward the target. Double-click again to deactivate.

Warnings and alarms

An orange warning icon on the main screen means the controller has something to tell you. Open the menu and choose Warnings for the details.

Warning details

A warning that needs immediate attention can also open a full-screen alarm. Rotate or press the knob to silence it and return to the main screen.

The warning icon remains until the condition clears. A tire that is dangerously out of range is marked red on the main screen, including a tire that is locked.

Press and hold from the main screen, then rotate to an item and press to open it. Press and hold again to leave the menu. It also closes on its own after 10 seconds without input.

The root menu contains Activate/Deactivate, Airpads when fitted, Brightness, Dark Mode, Advanced, and Exit. Warnings appears only while a warning is active.

A locked item is left alone by the controller. An orange lock means it is paused; a red lock means it is locked and also outside the safe pressure range.

Rear Delta

Rear Delta keeps the rear tires a fixed amount above or below the front target. A value of +2 PSI, for example, makes the rear target 2 PSI higher.
