Continental TIS-16 Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Product Information
Specifications
- Wheel Unit Type: TIS-16 ASK/FSK
- Frequency: 315MHz
- Data Rate: 2400/9600bps
- Integrated sensors: Pressure, Temperature, Acceleration
System Overview
The tire pressure monitoring system (TG) consists of the Tire Guard wheel unit type TIS16, which includes integrated sensors for pressure, temperature, and acceleration, along with an RF transmitter. The TG monitors a vehicle’s tire pressure both while driving and when stationary. Each tire has an electronic wheel unit mounted to the valve stem, which periodically measures the tire pressure. This information is then transmitted to the RF transmitter via RF communication.

Product Usage Instructions
Facility
- Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface.
- Locate the valve stem of each tire where the wheel unit will be installed.
- Securely attach the wheel unit to the valve stem following manufacturer guidelines.
Calibration
- After installation, follow the calibration instructions provided in the user manual.
- Calibrate each wheel unit to ensure accurate pressure, temperature, and acceleration readings.
Maintenance
Regularly check the tire pressure monitoring system for any issues or malfunctions. Replace batteries in the wheel units as needed and ensure proper functioning of the RF transmitter.
Use
Monitor the tire pressure readings displayed on the vehicle dashboard or dedicated monitoring unit. Pay attention to any alerts or warnings indicating low pressure or other anomalies.
FAQs
Q: How often should I calibrate the tire pressure monitoring system?
A: It is recommended to calibrate the system whenever you replace a wheel unit or suspect inaccurate readings. Additionally, perform calibration if you notice significant changes in tire pressure or temperature.
Q: Can the tire pressure monitoring system be used on any vehicle?
A: The system is designed for use on standard passenger vehicles. Compatibility with other vehicle types may vary, so refer to the user manual for specific guidelines.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The tire pressure monitoring system (referred as TG for Tire Guard) consists
of the following units:
Tire guard wheel unit type TIS16 which includes an integrated pressure,
temperature and acceleration sensor and a RF transmitter.
The TG monitors a vehicle’s tire pressure whilst driving or stationary. An
electronic unit (wheel unit) inside each tire, mounted to the valve stem,
periodically measures the actual tire pressure. By means of RF communication,
this pressure information is transmitted to the RF transmitter.
