SYSTEM OVERVIEW
SYSTEM COMPONENTS
HOW SMARTIRE FOR COMMERCIAL SYSTEMS FUNCTIONS
1. Tire data is sent wirelessly to the receiver by in-wheel sensor/transmitters that constantly
monitor tire pressure and temperature. Sensors are uniquely labeled to identify specific
wheel positions for system installation.
2. The receiver comes pre-programmed with each transmitter’s unique ID number and
assigned wheel position. The receiver can monitor up to 20 wheel positions and is able to
handle the most complex RV, towed vehicle/trailer and tractor configurations.
3. If a problem occurs, both an audible and visual warning alerts the driver to the condition.
4. Towed vehicles or trailer tires can also be monitored. See your authorized SmarTire
dealer for more information.
711.0005 R1.1 6
SENSOR OVERVIEW
SmarTire for Commercial Systems offers two kinds of tire pressure / temperature sensors. The
Low Pressure Sensor (black) is for smaller Commercial Systems and towed vehicles. It is
configured to measure tires with a cold inflation pressure up to 65 PSI. The high pressure sensor
(orange) is configured for medium to large Commercial Systems with cold inflation tire pressures
up to 160 PSI.
If your SmarTire for Commercial Systems includes both low pressure and high pressure sensors,
the orange sensors are for the tow vehicle and the black sensors are for the towed vehicle.
FULL FUNCTION DISPLAY OVERVIEW

USING SMARTIRE FOR COMMERCIAL SYSTEMS
GETTING STARTED
When your vehicle is started, your SmarTire system will power
up and the Full Function Display (FFD) will briefly flash all of its
screen icons, and flash the alert light. The system will then go
into stand-by mode, waiting for tire data from the sensors. When
your vehicle is driven over 6 mph (10kph), the SmarTire will
begin to receive tire data. When all of the tire icons are filled in,
the SmarTire has captured data from all of the tires.
NOTE: The system will not display tire data until the vehicle
has been moved. SmarTire starts to receive tire data only
AFTER your vehicle is driven ABOVE 6 mph (10 kph).
When viewing tire data for an RV / tow vehicle, the programmed
wheel positions are displayed in a vehicle icon. When viewing
tire data for a trailer or towed vehicle, the windshield graphic
disappears and the vehicle icon becomes a trailer icon. The
system will alternate views between the towing and towed
vehicle when operating with this configuration. The diagram
below illustrates the differences between the two viewing modes.
USING THE FULL FUNCTION DISPLAY
To display tire data for a specific wheel position:
1. Press the TIRE button to scroll through each of the wheel positions.
2. Press the MODE button to scroll through the pressure, pressure deviation and
temperature readings for each selected tire.

The default pressure settings can be changed for your particular vehicle. Check with your RV
Owner’s Manual to determine the RV manufacturer’s recommended Cold Inflation Pressure
settings. Check the Owner’s Manual of the towed vehicle or trailer for the recommended Cold
Inflation Pressures. SmarTire recommends setting the Low Pressure Warning at 10 PSI below
the recommended Cold Inflation Pressure for your vehicle. SmarTire also recommends not to
change the Pressure Deviation Alert settings.
To change the Cold Inflation Pressure and Low Pressure Warning settings, follow the instructions
in the SmarTire Full Function Display Owner’s Manual (Pg. 13-14).

NOTICE REGARDING TOWED VEHICLES OR TRAILERS
If you are using the SmarTire system in conjunction with a towed vehicle or trailer, the following
information is important to note.
When you unhitch the towed vehicle or trailer and begin driving the towing vehicle, the SmarTire
system may pick up a stray transmission from the towed vehicle or trailer. If this occurs, the
SmarTire receiver will display an “E1” alert within 20 minutes. If this happens, simply turn the
system off (by turning the ignition to off) and then back on to clear the alert.
The next time you hook up the towed vehicle or trailer, the SmarTire system will receive the
towed vehicle or trailers data transmissions and reset itself to monitor all tires.
NOTICE REGARDING ADDITIONAL ANTENNA REQUIREMENT
One 20’ antenna is included in the 6-Wheel SmarTire for Recreational Vehicles Kit. This antenna
is suitable for vehicles less than 25 feet long. An additional 40’ antenna (part number 101.1040) is
required for 6-wheel vehicles longer than 25 feet. Please see the Sensor & Antenna Location
Diagram in the Installation Guide for the correct antenna mounting locations.

SYSTEM SCOPE OF USE & WARNINGS
This tire monitoring system does not in any way replace the need for regular maintenance of the
tire pressures and tire conditions.
SYSTEM INSTALLATION AND USAGE
Warrant of the SmarTire system requires that it has been properly installed and programmed by
qualified personnel according to SmarTire Systems Inc. documentation. This includes the
Owner’s Manual and any supplementary installation instructions included with system
components.
USE OF CHEMICALS
Temporary resealing or re-inflation products containing internal sealers or propellants in any
tire/wheel assembly may adversely affect the operation of the Sensor/Transmitters and void
warrantee.
REACTING TO ALERTS
When an alert or warning condition is detected, reduce vehicle speed to an appropriate safe level
and proceed to a safe stopping location or facility where the tire can be inspected and serviced.
The low pressure alert or warning indicates that the air pressure has dropped to a selected
minimum.
