SmarTire LF Initiator - Operating Instructions The SmarTire LF Initiator is a wireless service tool that facilitates the learning of sensor ID numbers into the receiver during system setup on a vehicle. The Initiator works in conjunction with the Commercial high pressure sensors*. *LF Initiator is not compatible with Low Pressure Sensors (SmarTire for Passenger Car products that measure to a maximum of 65 PSI). Product Configurations SmarTire Part No. 090.0006 Description Standard Function LF Initiator Initiate, De-Energize, Learn Product Application Dealer tool for RV and Commercial installations Product Functions BUTTON FUNCTION Initiate This function is used after the sensors are installed to confirm that the sensor was programmed properly. Pressing this button next to the sensor causes the sensor to transmit its ID, pressure and temperature readings. This function should only be used when the sensors are taken out of the tire and need to be shipped back to the supplier. Pressing this button next to the sensor causes the sensor to stop transmitting. This function is used at the time of sensor installation. Pressing this button next to the sensor causes the sensor to transmit its unique ID number for the purpose of programming the Receiver. De-energize Learn LED Functions LIGHT COLOR FUNCTION Green Red Orange LF Initiator is working properly. LF Initiator is not working properly. Contact SmarTire regarding repair or replacement. Battery is low. LF Initiator Operating Instructions Rev 1.0 Document #: 710.0026 Activating the LF Initiator The Initiator is powered with a 9 Volt battery that is installed by opening the battery access panel on the back. An ON / OFF switch is located on the right side and this should be pushed upward to turn the Initiator “ON” and downward to turn the Initiator “OFF.” Using the LF Initiator The Initiator has a transmission range of approximately 2 feet. To ensure proper reception, the Initiator should be within this transmission range and the Initiator must be held facing the sensor for at least 5 seconds after the button is pressed. Sensors are normally located adjacent to the valve’s location (figure 1). Hold the Initiator against the tire and point it toward the sensor location from a position slightly outside the rim flange (figures 2 and 3). Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 NOTE: Normally dual tire assemblies are installed with their valves located 180 degrees from each other. This means that the sensors will also be located 180 degrees from each other and initiating either the outboard or inboard sensors will not cause the other sensor to respond because of the mass of the wheel and hub separating the two locations. The Initiator held against the sidewall of the outboard tire / wheel assembly and pointed toward the location of the sensor on the inboard tire / wheel assembly will be within LF field detection range. LF Initiator Operating Instructions Rev 1.0 Document #: 710.0026 Programming Newly Installed Sensors 1. Install the sensors on the wheels as described in the SmarTire for RV Installation Guide, and then install all of Tire / Wheel assemblies, onto the vehicle; 2. Power up Receiver and Full Function Display (FFD) by switching ignition on and setting the Receiver into ‘LEARN’ mode as described in the FFD User’s Manual; 3. On the Display, select the desired tire position. The outline of the wheel position to be programmed will flash; 4. Position the Initiator against the tire’s sidewall, press the LEARN button and hold in that location for at least 5 seconds, as described in the previous section. The Receiver registers a signal reception from that sensor by showing a filled in wheel icon on the Display; NOTE: For the inboard locations of dual tires, the initiator can be held against the outboard tire sidewall in line with the position of the inboard sensor to initiate the transmission without having to reach around the outer tire / wheel assembly; 5. If programming more sensors in the system, select the next tire location on the FFD and repeat step #4 until all sensor ID numbers and their appropriate locations on the vehicle have been learned by the Receiver; 6. Exit the Receiver ‘LEARN’ mode by pressing the “Set” button on the Display; NOTE: If an ‘ERR’ message is displayed together with flashing tire locations, those indicated locations have been programmed with the same sensor ID numbers. In this case, press the TIRE button on the FFD to re–enter the Receiver ‘LEARN’ mode and reprogram the flashing sensor locations; 7. Press the “Set” button again to completely exit from the receiver programming modes and save the sensor ID numbers to the Receiver memory; Verifying Correct Installation To check correct ID programming of the receiver, power up the receiver and utilize the INITIATE button on the Initiator as described in step #4 to cause each sensor to transmit. Alternatively, drive the vehicle above ~ 6 mph. If any locations are not being received, it is likely that the programmed ID number is incorrect and programming the sensors using the ‘LEARN’ function will need to be repeated for those locations.
