Product Introduction

Product Feature

Thanks for choosing our TPMS product. The system is used to monitor the pressure and temperature data of each tire. After the alarming condition is set up by the user, the system will alarm in case of abnormal pressure and temperature and make the driver be alerted of danger driving. The system also enhance fuel efficient, prolong tire life and make the driving more comfortable.

Be sure to read the user guide carefully before installation and keep the manual for future use.

Caution

It is highly recommended to read the instructions below before installing the system:

1. The monitor should be installed inside the vehicle where it does not affect normal driving.
2. The monitor should be well fixed to avoid falling off during driving.
3. The tires’ temperature and pressure will increase while driving. The vehicle should be stopped for cooling if there is high temperature alarm and avoid braking problem or tire blowout.
4. Driver should stop the vehicle and get off to check the tire if there is continue high pressure or slow leakage alarm .
5. Be ware of tire blowout when there is high tire pressure, and be ware of fuel consumption and wheel balance while low tire pressure.
6. The system can effectively monitor tire pressure and temperature but cannot avoid traffic accident after tire brow out. Using quality tire product and correct tire pressure monitoring is still necessary.
7. Be ware of driving safety while checking tire data on the way of driving. 8.After the system is installed correctly, the driver does not need to stare at the monitor all the time and feel interrupt during driving.

Installation Tips

1. The monitor will be in sleeping mode to save battery life if the motion sensor detects the vehicle has stopped for ten minutes. It will turn on again when it detects the vehicle is moving again. If one of the sensor data has not been display on the monitor at the beginning, the data will be displayed later when there is pressure or temperature changes.
2. The signal transmission from the monitor and sensors is wireless, and the transmission distance is long enough for a passenger car due to internal anti-inference circuit design.
3. Due to the air expansion and contraction , the tire pressure and temperature will normally changing all the time while driving.
4. There is normal air leakage in every tire rim, TPMS should have no responsibility to keep the tire pressure unchanged after long time storage or driving.
5. Should you have any question or problem while installation, please contact with your local distributor.

Alarm Condition

High / Low Pressure Alert / High Temperature Alert I Fast Leakage Alert I Sensor Low Battery Alert.

The monitor displays the temperature and the pressure data of four sensors simultaneously. The corresponding alert icon and red LED will flash together with a warning beep when the sensor detects abnormal conditions from the tire. The faulty tire and/or battery alarm ( , ) icons will still flash until the problem has been settled.

Eg.: Factory default setting

”If you want to end the alarm flashing and beeping, please handle the abnormal situation of the tire as soon as possible. (This device is temporarily not equipped with the setting to turn off the alarm)

High Pressure Alert

e.g. While the front left tire pressure is 44PSI, the monitor will alert together with a warning beep, and the red LED will flash.

Low Pressure Alert

e.g. While the front left tire pressure is 29PSI, the monitor will alert together with a warning beep, and the red LED will flash.

High Temperature Alert

e.g. While the front left tire temperature is 71°C, the monitor will alert together with a warning beep, and the red LED will flash.

Fast Leakage Alert

The sensor will send alert data to the monitor if it detects fast leakage in a tire. The alert icon and the pressure data will flash together with the tire icon. The flashing red LED and a warning beep will be issued by the monitor simultaneously. Press any button to turn oP the beep warning. But the alert tire icon and the pressure data will still flash together with the red LED till the problem has been solved.

e.g. While the front left tire pressure drops from 36PSI to 32PSI immediately, the monitor will alert as the picture below:

Sensor Low Battery Alert

While the sensor battery voltage is low, the sensor will send the alert to the monitor. The corresponding tire icon and the low battery icon will flash together with the red LED, the warning beep will be issued by the monitor. Press any button to turn off the warning beep, but the tire icon and the low battery icon will still flash together with the red LED till the sensor has replaced a new battery or a new sensor has been programmed with the monitor.

e.g. While the battery in the front left tire sensor is low, the monitor will alert as the picture as below sensor low battery icon flash.

Other Functions

1. Monitor Displays 4 Tires and Spare Tire
   
   

2. Monitor Battery Saving Mode
   The monitor will be in sleeping mode when the vehicle not in motion for 10 minutes and when external DC power is not connected. The monitor will not receive any data from the sensors. Press any button to wake up the monitor to standby mode.

3. Automatically adjusting fightness
   The monitor backlighting will adjust its brightness automatically according to the environment lightness.

4. Charging the Monitor
   The solar power battery was built inside the monitor, it can power the monitor for long hours once fully charged. But the solar battery will not recharge itself when insufficient sunshine. In such case, when the battery level indicator is low as show by the icon ( ), please recharge with factory provided DC charger for 2.5 hours and continually recharge by sufficient sunlight when the icon ( ) is displayed.

5. Tire ID interchange(Tire position exchange)
   During standby mode, long press”-” until “Bi” sound to begin, one tire will flash and use “+ or -” to exchange to a new tire position and confirm by pressing “SET ”button.
   Repeat using “-” to choose another tire and follow by using “+ or -” button to exchange another new tire and finished by pressing “SET ”button again with a long beep. (During ID interchange mode if no action for one minute, system will resume to normal mode operation.)

Recode Sensors (the process of connecting the monitor and the sensor)

The factory has already coded 4 sensors to the monitor, and the sensors can be re-coded accordingly to actual tires’ position after exchanging the tires. There is Inflate Code Learning for re-code the sensors:

Inflate Code Learnings

In standby mode, press and hold ”+” button and release it after the beep sound to enter learning mode, the tire icon will flash on the LCD with “id ” Letter showing the beginning letter of the tire ID code. Short press “-” or “+” to scroll tire position needed to re-code. Once ready, then mount the sensor on to the tire valve(for external sensor), or inflate the tire(for internal sensor), once the sensor sensed the inflator, the sensor will send its own ID code to the monitor and the monitor will display it’s sensor code after the beep. Repeat above step to re-code others sensor if needed .
Press “SET” until Beep sound to ensure new code completed stored into the monitor.
If press “SET” and *-” buttons together will not store any new ID and resume to standby mode.

Some using tips

Please note that the following conditions are normal in product use:

1. The data update time of the sensor is about 5 minutes. And if you change the sensor to another wheel, the previous data may stay for a while. If the sensor is removed, there will still be data staying on the display. This is normal, and it may take up to 2 hours for the display to completely disappear after hours of data.

2. There will be a slight air leak in the tire after the sensor is installed. This is a normal phenomenon, please use it with confidence.

3. It is normal for the sensor to be worn and corroded by the external environment. We recommend that you buy more sensors for backup. Then when the sensor is abnormal, you can try to solve the problem again according to the following instructions. If the problem is still not solved, you can contact us for after-sales service to get the replacement sensor.
   — IF TH E SENSOR IS NOT IN THE NORMAL OPERATION—-
   We advise you to test the sensor firstly.
   You could take off the sensor from your tire to see if the machine alarm.

4. If the monitor begins beeping, it means your sensor is in normal operation. So you could try to reinstall the sensor again.
   If it still does not work, maybe the sensor is lack of battery power.
   You could try another battery again. And here I would like to provide a change-battery video to help you.
   The video link: https://youtu.be/JXc0sVjN19Y

5. Or if it not alarm, it also may mean that your sensor is lack of battery power.
   You could try another new battery to try again.
   The battery-change video is mentioned above, you could refer to it

6. It is normal for the tire pressure monitor to measure the tire pressure with a certain degree of accuracy. (If you find that its measurement result is different from your tire pressure gauge)

—-IF THE DEVICE SEEMS LIKE IT COULD NOT MONITOR THE TIRE PRESSURE ACCURATELY—-

If you find the tire pressure the monitor displayed is not accurate, there are two different possible reasons that could explain this issue.

1. The feature of needing some minutes to update the data
   Our TPMS will receive real-time signals. In general, the display will update every 5 minutes. You could wait a minute and then confirm if the reading is correct.

2. Different measuring tools may cause some deviation in the normal range (if you use a tire pressure gauge to compare)
   The theory of measure between two devices is different.
   Here is the operation theory of the TPMS and of the tire pressure gauge.
   The TPMS monitors the tire pressure and the temperature referring to their variation per unit time. And the tire pressure gauge will monitor the tire pressure by getting the instantaneous data.
   So it is normal that when you use two different measuring tools, you would get two data which has a little deviation. But the two different data all are referencable.
