TPMS Wireless True Pressure and temperature Monitoring System
INTRODUCTION
- Thank you for choosing our TPMS, built with the highest quality standards. These instructions are step by step and you will successfully install your TPMS if you follow them closely. You will save yourself time by reading the manual to get an overview of your TPMS system.
- Your new TPMS system will help you drive safer by constantly monitoring the pressure and temperature of your tires. Once you set the safety alarms according to your preferences, everything will be set. If there is a significant change in pressure or temperature, you will be alerted.
- Overheating in your trailer bearings or brakes will set off a high-temperature alarm. Your gas mileage should improve while driving on properly inflated tires.
- Caution
* Securely attach the monitor in a convenient place. The suction cup can be used for the windshield. A bracket is included for permanent installation. Or, the charged monitor can just sit in a convenient place in the driver’s area.
* It is not necessary for the driver to visually scan the monitor while driving. The auditory alarm will alert the driver to any significant changes in the pressure or temperature.
* The monitor will stay charged for up to five days. It can be recharged overnight.
2. **Installation Tips**
* Your TPMS system has industry-leading features to make it easy to install.
* Most users will use the Sensor Perfect-Match Diagram to place sensors on the correct tire. In that case, you will simply turn on the monitor and screw in the sensors in their designated place. Then you can proceed to SET your pressure and temperature alarms.
3. If your application is different from the Sensor Perfect-Match Diagram, you will use the inflation method to place the sensors and match them to the monitor.
IMPORTANT TIP The monitor responds to a Long Press and a Short Click. Press and hold a button for 3 seconds during a Long Press. A Short Click is about the same length as the wink of the eye. A Long Press and a Short Click are as different from one another as a left and a right turn. While following the steps, pay close attention to whether a Long Press is required or if a Short Click is required.
4. These instructions may look long and complicated. The reason is that we have included every step. Do not place sensors on the tires until you have read these instructions. So when you go to each section, you will easily succeed by following each step. You should be finished within 20 minutes.

SYSTEM COMPONENTS
Monitor Components And Icons
Monitor Installation
Monitor On/Off
Turn off the monitor when not in use for more than three days. Up toggle is on / Down toggle is off. When you are on the road, it is not necessary to turn the monitor off. It will go to sleep during inactivity and wake up when it senses motion and it will automatically begin monitoring the tire sensors. When the monitor has been off and it is turned on, it is normal for it to take three to five minutes to re-connect to the sensors and begin monitoring the tires. During this time the tire icons will blink, but no pressure/temperature will be displayed.
Sensor Installation
Step 1: Please refer to the Sensor Perfect-Match Diagram below that
matches the number of sensors in your TPMS kit. Your sensors are numbered and
programmed at the factory to automatically match this diagram. The first axle
numbers start with 1. The second axle numbers start with 2. The third axle
numbers start with 3.
The fourth axle, which is the first axle of the trailer, starts with 4. Tires
are then numbered from left to right (driver’s side to passenger side). For
example, sensor number 24 refers to the fourth tire from the left on the
second axle.
Step 2: Turn on the Monitor
Step 3: Place your numbered sensors on your tires in the same position as
the Sensor Perfect-Match Diagram.
Step 4: P roceed to the next section setting Monitor Alarms
Step 5: If you are not using the Sensor Perfect-Match Diagram, then pair
your sensors using the Inflation Method of Sensor Pairing.

You can press any button to turn the alarm off, but the red light will continue to flash until the tire faults are corrected.
INSTALLATION OF TRANSCEIVER
A transceiver is included in Kits with 18 sensors designed for 18 Wheel Semi-
Trucks. The transceiver boosts the signal of the sensors over the long-
distance of the Trailer
Step 1: Install the transceiver in the front of the trailer. It must be
installed on the exterior of the trailer. You must splice it into a 12 to the
36-volt wire of the trailer. Connect the positive (red) and negative (black)
wires to the corresponding wires of the trailer. Place it out of the way of
water and road debris as much as possible.
Step 2: Check to confirm that the Red light is blinking. There is no need
to SET or alter the transceiver. It automatically amplifies the signal of the

REPLACING THE SENSOR BATTERY ( Battery # CR1632 )
Batteries will last up to 2 years, but we recommend replacement every year.
New batteries should have a minimum of 3.1 volts to be considered fresh. If
possible, check the voltage of the replacement batteries because new batteries
are sometimes not fully charged.
Step 1: Unscrew the sensor from your tire.
Step 2: Grasp the metal fitting with pliers and gently twist off the
black cap with your fingers. You can use pliers to twist off the cap, but be
gentle.
Step 3: Slide the #1632 Battery out of the sensor with a small flathead
screwdriver.
Step 4: Slide the new battery into the sensor with the + Positive side
facing up.
Step 5: Check to make sure the O ring is still in place and screw the
black cap back into place. If the O ring is missing or damaged, replace it
with one of your spare O rings. If you do not have a spare O ring, use Teflon
Tape.
Step 6: If you used the Sensor Perfect-Match Diagram, simply screw the
sensor back into place. If you used the Inflation method of Sensor Pairing,
you will need to repair the sensor with the same method

INSTALLATION OF THE MONITOR
The suction cup provided with your kit allows for a semi-permanent
installation. The suction cup has a sticky surface. Search for a location on
your windshield carefully before making the suction cup installation. The
suction cup should not be moved more than three times.
Step 1: Clean the glass with glass cleaner and allow it to dry. Step 2:
Lift the suction cup handle into a vertical position. Press firmly on the
suction cup.
Step 3: Push the lever down until it is horizontal.
A bracket is included for permanent installation. You can then use the
cigarette lighter power source in your permanent location. If you wish to
hardwire your power source, we suggest that you cut the cigarette plug off and
strip the wires to connect to your permanent 12-volt power source. Reminder:
the monitor can be charged with any micro USB connector.
Another alternative is to use Velcro strips on the bottom of the monitor to
stand it up on the dash. Or, Velcro strips can be used on the back of the
monitor to attach it to the dashboard. Velcro is effective because the Monitor
is very lightweight.
