USER MANUAL
Tyre Pressure Monitoring Sensor ATFPG3
The TPMS Transmitter is installed to the valve stem in each tyre of a vehicle. The unit measures tyre pressure periodically and transmits this information by RF communication to a receiver inside the vehicle. In addition, the TPMS Transmitter performs the following functions:
- Determines a temperature compensated pressure value.
- Determines any abnormal pressure variations in the wheel.
- Monitors the state of the Transmitters’ internal battery and informs the receiver of a low battery condition.
Modes
Rotating Mode
While the sensor/transmitter in the Rotating Mode, it shall satisfy the
following requirements. The
sensor/transmitter shall transmit an instantaneous measured data, if a
pressure change of 2.0 psi from the last transmission or greater has occurred
with respect to the following conditions. If the pressure change was a
decrease of pressure, the sensor/transmitter shall transmit immediately every
time it detects the 2.0-psi or greater pressure changes from the last
transmission.
If the pressure change of 2.0 psi or greater was an increase of pressure, the
sensor shall not react to it.
Stationary Mode
While the sensor/transmitter in the Stationary Mode, it shall satisfy the
following requirements. The sensor/transmitter shall transmit an instantaneous
measured data, if a pressure change of 2.0 psi from the last transmission or
greater has occurred with respect to the following conditions. If the pressure
change was a decrease of pressure, the sensor/transmitter shall transmit
immediately every time it detects the 2.0-psi or greater pressure changes from
the last transmission.
If the pressure change of 2.0 psi or greater was an increase of pressure, the
silent period between the RPC transmission and the
last transmission shall be 30.0 seconds, and the silent period between the RPC
transmission and the next transmission (Normal scheduled transmission or
another RPC transmission) shall also be 30.0 seconds, to be in compliance of
FCC Part 15.231.
Factory Mode
The factory mode is the mode that the sensor shall transmit more often in the factory to assure the programmability of the sensor ID during the manufacturing process.
Off Mode
This Off Mode is only for production parts sensors that are used for the builds during the production process and not in the service environment.
LF Initiation
The sensor/transmitter must provide data upon the presence of an LF signal.
The sensor must react
(Transmit and provide data) no later than 150.0 ms after the LF data code has
been detected at the sensor. The sensor/transmitter must be sensitive (As
sensitivity is defined in Table 1) and able to detect the LF field.
OEM product. Per 47 CFR 2.909, 2.927, 2.931, 2.1033, 15.15(b) etc…, the grantee must ensure the end-user has all applicable / appropriate operating instructions. When end-user instructions are required, as in the case of this product, the grantee must notify the OEM to notify the end- user.
Sensata Technologies will supply this document to the reseller/distributor dictating what must be included in the end user’s manual for the commercial product.
Information to be included IN the end USER’S MANUAL
The following information (in blue) must be included in the end product user’s manual to ensure continued FCC and Industry Canada regulatory compliance. The ID numbers must be included in the manual if the device label is not readily accessible to the end user. The compliance paragraphs below must be included in the user’s manual.
FCC ID:2ATIMATFPG3
IC: 25094- ATFPG3
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and with Licence exempt RSS standards of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the users authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
This equipment complies with FCC/ISED radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.
Cet équipement est conforme aux limites d’exposition aux rayonnements FCC/ISED
établies pour un environnement non contrôlé.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada applicables aux
appareils radio exempts de licence. L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux
conditions suivantes:
(1) l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et
(2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique
subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d’en compromettre le
fonctionnement.
