1. AVE Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Thank you for purchasing AVE’s Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
AVE’s TPMS was designed to provide you with extra protection while driving. Our
TPMS informs you of tire pressure and tire temperature and immediately notifies
you of any problems such as a slow or fast leak. After proper installation, AVE’s
TPMS will continually monitor your vehicles’ tire pressure and temperature with
accurate and up-to-date information. If the TPMS detects any irregularity in the
tires’ pressure and/or temperature, it will immediately sound an alarm and flash
on the LCD display to notify the driver. Prompt action needs to be taken to avoid
accidents and ensure the safety of the driver and their passenger.

10. LF Remote Control
In order to simply the complicated procedure of resetting the sensor position by inflating/deflating
the wheels when rotating or changing the tires, Remote Control is the best choice.
Without an LF Remote control, please rapidly inflate or deflate the tires, which functions the same
as pressing the button B of the LF Remote control.
Set/Reset the sensor position with LF
Setting the sensor position:
1. First, press and hold the buttons on the display and together for 3
seconds to enter TIRE SETUP MODE. It will display “CHG” and then press (NO) to
learn the ID CODE of the sensors, while the message area will display “LT” (Leak Test) and the
front left tire will flash. (TIRE SETUP MODE is only launched for MO1, p.13.)
2. Press the learning key “B” of LF (make LF near the valve stem of the front left tire), which will
force the sensor to transmit signals so that the display can learn the position of the wheel. The
display unit will beep once if the signal is received and the message area will display “OK”, and
then the message area will turn to the next tire automatically. Before “OK” displayed, please do
not move the LF away from the wheel. Repeat the same for the remaining tires.
Delete/Skip one sensor:
Follow step one to enter TIRE SETUP MODE. When “LT” is displayed on the message area,
press (NO). The message area will display “DEL”. Press (YES) to delete
the tire, or press (NO) to skip setting the tire. If any sensor is skipped, its previous
status will be also kept.
Once the tire has been deleted, it should be added back by repeating the procedure of setting
sensor position. When the deleted tire is flashing again, learn the ID CODE with an LF or by
rapidly deflating/inflating the tire. Spare tire can be deleted or added back in the same way.
(Please attend: when you learn the sensor ID into the display, please take other sensors away in
the distance of 3 meters to avoid learning the other sensor ID.)
Functions of the four buttons of LF:
A. Warning mode: Make sensors transmit signals per second for two minutes. After two minutes
the sensors will get into normal mode.
B. Walk up mode: Make sensors transfer signals every second for one minute. After one minute
the sensors will get into normal mode.
C. Normal mode: Make sensors transfer signals every 30 second.
D. Sleep mode: Make sensors into sleep mode without transmitting any signal and save the
battery’s life. But when the sensor is put in the tire, the sensor will detect having
pressure and automatically wake up. So when the sensor is installed in tire and
you press D, it will not sleep due to the pressure.

12. AVE TPMS Extended Antenna Cable (for Trucks/Buses/Trailers)
Figure 2
Red line = Antenna Cable.
Figure 3
Must set the antenna cable to the central area among all the wheels.
The far distance between the driver cabinet and the rear tires
(like a truck or bus) may cause the poor antenna. Besides, the
thickness of the vehicle stamping parts, car window films with
volumes of metal material, and so on will also cause the
interference with the signal transmitting. To make sure of the
signal well-transmitted and well-received, an extended antenna
cable would be strongly in need for trucks/buses/trailers.
Make sure the connection is tight enough.

13. AVE TPMS Optional Accessories
Battery Pack (8AA )
• Battery Pack allows display unit to be carried
around for easier setup.
•
Users do not have to rely on the power from the
vehicles cigarette lighter power cord.
•
Useful when setting up vehicles with a lot of
wheels.
• AVE TPMS will support up to 27 wheels
LF Remote control for Tire Sensors
• The LF remote control is used to control the tire
sensors. The 2 main functions include;
☆Learning Key (A)
Press this key to force the sensor to transmit a
signal without inflating or deflating the tire’s
pressure to learn the wheel position. It also has
the function to exchange the tire’s position.
☆ Sleep Key (D)
It will force the sensor into sleep mode so it will
save the tire sensor’s battery power.
• This will only work if the sensor is removed from
the wheel, or there is no air pressure in the tire.
As soon as the sensor detects air pressure, the
sensor will automatically “wake-up”.
This is
useful when changing tire location (tire rotation)
to setup up the tire position. It will force the tire’s
sensor to transmit a signal instead of performing
the leak test (page 19).
• Use as a diagnostic tool to test the tire’s sensor
if a sensor is transmitting a signal.
Standard Valve
• AVE TPMS uses a standard metal valve.
• Common valve which is available anywhere.
• Allows you to replace just the tire valve if it is
damaged or broken. You do not have to replace
the entire sensor.
• With other TPMS units, you have to replace
both the valve and the sensor if either one is
broken or damaged.
Tire’s sensor
• Tire sensor is available for the spare tire.
• To purchase more tire sensors, please contact
your AVE TPMS retailer.
