As a reliable vehicle proactive safety device, it provides real-time monitoring of all the tires, including air pressure and temperature. It will give warnings about abnormal conditions such as slow leakage, rapid leakage, low pressure, high pressure and high temperature. In addition, Digitire TPMS can identify its corresponding components easily after wheel change or sensor change.The whole package consists of the components as follows: A displayFour sensors Two antennas A receiverUser's guide Strips A stickerTwo double-sided sticky tapes11231018192023243791011121414161720212278
Display detailed key ： Front surface Reverse side 2 How the system worksA sensor is installed with the valve stem in each wheel, monitoring the pressure and temperature conditions inside each wheel of the vehicle, and wirelessly sends the data it collects to the receiver through two antennas. The receiver then transfers the data by wire to the display, which is installed on the dashboard and digitally displays the pressure and temperature. The system continuously analyzes the data to detect any abnormal conditions. It will trigger different alarm settings to report various abnormal conditions.3 Installation Manual (For professional technicians only, end users can skip this section and go directly to #4, Key Functions and Operation Guidelines)3.1 Installation of sensorBefore installation, make sure you identify each sensor (A, B, C and D) respectively. Each sensor has its own electronic module and nut. For example, you can easily distinguish the “C” electronic module because the letter “C” is at the very end of the S/N. (e.g. T5200-SM5300-050816-015B-C). Each nut also has an engraved letter that show which sensor it belongs to.Key buttonID moduleRESET Key ⑦Valve cap①Self-lock screw ②Electronic module③Valve stem ④Plastic washer⑥Nut ⑤metal washerSensorAntennaReceiverDispiayAntennaSensorSensor Sensor32Holding keyT5200-SM5300-050816-015B-CC
Each sensor has a corresponding ID module. With four ID modules mounted on two sides, the display resembles a vehicle with four wheels. The ID modules should be placed in the same positions on the display as the corresponding sensors are installed on the vehicle. For instance, if the “C” sensor is installed in the left rear wheel position, then the corresponding “C” ID module has to be placed in the “left rear wheel” position on the display. The manufacturer has set as the default that A, B, C and D ID modules are placed respectively on the Left Front Wheel (LFW), Right Front Wheel (RFW), Left Rear Wheel (LRW) and Right Rear Wheel (RRW).ACBD3.1.1 Use a self-locking screw ①to join electronic module ②and valve stem ③ together. The assembly is adjustable to fit the various angles of the rims.3.1.4 Lock the rim on the tire changer. (If the mounting head of the tire changer is positioned at 12 o'clock, then the valve should be at the 7 o'clock position.) Apply lubricant on both tire bead and rim. Mount the lower tire bead on the rim. Ensure that the tire bead does not touch the electronic module during mounting.712A3.1.3 Place plastic washer ④，metal washer ⑤and nut ⑥on the valve stem, and tighten with 3.5~4.5Nm (30~40inch pounds) torque.3.1.2 Insert the valve stem through the rim hole from inside. Adjust the angle between the valve stem and the electronic module to fit the rim properly, and then screw tight the valve stem.54CBD
3.1.5 Mount the upper tire bead the same way. (If the mounting head of the tire changer is positioned at 12 o'clock, then the valve should be at the 5 o'clock position.) Inflate the tire to nominal pressure.5123.1.6 Apply soapsuds on the valve tip. If no leakage is found, put on the valve cap ⑦.Otherwise determine the reason for the leakage and reinstall this sensor.3.3 Installation of receiver 3.3.1 Tighten the connecting nut of the antenna cable to the receiver only finger tight. Do not twist the cable.Connecting nut3.1.7 Dynamic balance the wheel before it is put back on the vehicle. Use the same procedures to install the other three sensors.

3.3.3 Now, if correctly connecting the red wire and the blue wire from the receiver with the positive power cable out of battery and the negative ground in the circuit board of the car respectively, the screen background will be lighted up in blue and displaying “000”at the four corners in the display. Then, the joint connecting wires should be safely wrapped with friction tape.3.5 How to remove the sensor (When removing or replacing a sensor and taking off or changing the tire from the rim of the wheel)3.4 Installation of displayFix the display unit on the dashboard with double-sided tape. Do not block the driver's view. Pay attention to the viewing angle of the display.3.5.2 Firmly fix the wheel on the turntable clamps. (If the mounting head of the tire changer is positioned at 12 o'clock, then the valve stem should be at the 11 o'clock position.) Apply lubricant to both tire bead and rim, and then dismount the upper tire bead.11 12+-3.5.1 Deflate the tire and remove the wheel weights from the rim. Push the tire bead away from the rim. Make sure to always set the bead breaker at least 90 degrees from the valve stem to avoid damaging the electronic module.>90983.3.4 Tie up all the cables with a strap and put in the compartment. Then replace the dashboard cover.3.5.3 Use the same procedure to dismount the lower tire bead. (If the mounting head of the tire changer is at the 12 o'clock position, then the valve should also be at the 12 o'clock position.)12
3.5.4 Final inspection: Visually inspect the rim, valve stem and electronic module to ensure no damage has occurred.4 Key Functions and operation guidelines 4.1 Key functions4.1.1 The sensors continuously monitor the air pressure and temperature of the tires. 4.1.2 When tire pressures and temperatures are all at normal settings, the sensor will transmit data to the receiver at eight-minute intervals. Every time the display receives the latest data, it will refresh and display the tire pressures and temperatures of all four tires.4.1.3 If the sensor detects any abnormal condition, it will immediately send the signals to the display. The display will instantly give an alarm and indicate the problem.The little screen is displaying as follows:Leakage iconLFW pressure (or Temperature) RFW pressure(or Temperature)Pressure unit Temperature unit LRW pressure (or Temperature) RRW pressure (or Temperature)Abnormality icon11104.2 Data display To read the tire pressure and temperature of each tire, simply press the key button on the display.

4.4 Resetting the systemThe system has to be reset to re-identify the ID module in the following situations.1) Replace the ID module;2) Interchange the positions of the ID modules and sensors;Or, if the display continues to show some incomprehensible codes or “---”, or the data does not refresh, you may press the reset button on the back of the display to restart.If the 6-digit ID number shown on the display matches the corresponding 6-digit ID number on the ID module, the system is working Properly. Otherwise it isn't. In this case, pull out the ID module and put it back properly. If the problem still exists, the sensor and its ID module need to be replaced.Press and hold the button again for 3 seconds and the system will resume normal working condition.RE-SET Key15144.5 ID Module checkoutIf you see one or more “---” on display, ID module may not be properly plugged into the display. Press and hold the button on the display for 3 seconds and the system will begin the checkout process. Each ID module has a 6-digit ID code. The display will show the first 3 digits. Press again and it will show the last 3 digits. Important: When plugging the ID module into the display, make sure the “needle plugs” on the ID module line up with the slot form on the side of the display. Otherwise the ID module could be damaged when plugged in by force.Holding keyBefore pulling out the ID module, firmly push the holding key on the back of the display. Otherwise the ID module may be damaged.
4.6 Changing wheel positionEach sensor and its corresponding ID module have the same ID code. With four ID modules mounted on two sides, the display resembles a vehicle with four wheels. The ID modules should be placed in the same positions on the display as the corresponding sensors are installed on the vehicle. Therefore when you change a wheel position, the ID module position should also be changed.For example, if you interchanged the LFW (Left Front Wheel) and the LRW (Left Rear Wheel), you should also interchange the positions of the upper left ID module and the lower left ID module.4.7 Replace sensorWhen you replace a sensor, first install the new sensor in the wheel. Then plug the ID module came with the sensor in the corresponding position of the display. For example, if you replaced a sensor in the RRW (Right Rear Wheel), then you should plug the new ID module in the lower right position of the display.1716
