NOTICE FCC Notice This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Caution: Any changes or modifications in construction of this device which are not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. System Scope of Use and Warnings Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) This system is a sensing device designed to measure and display tire operation and/or activate an alert to the driver when pressure and temperature irregularities are detected. It is the responsibility of the driver to react promptly and with discretion to alerts. Abnormal tire inflation pressure should be corrected at the earliest opportunity. System Installation and Usage Use of the TPMS requires that it has been properly installed by qualified personnel according to the instructions here. This system is suitable for use in passenger car, SUV and 4X4 tires up to maximum cold inflation pressure of 500 Kpa (or 73 Psi). Reacting to Alerts When an alert or warning is received, reduce vehicle speed and proceed to a safe stop location where the tire can be inspected and/or serviced. The low-pressure alert indicates that the air pressure has dropped to a selected minimum and a high-temperature alert indicates that the temperature of the tire content has surpassed the threshold value set. Use of Chemical Temporary resealing or re-inflation products containing internal sealants or propellants in any tire assembly may adversely affect the operation of the Sensor/Transmitter. Page 1

3. GETTING STARTED How it works Pressure and temperature information are sent to the Receiver and displayed on the LCD display. When an under-inflated, over-inflated or over-heated tire is detected, the Receiver will emit an audible warning and activate the backlight to warn the driver. The alerts depend on threshold value set for pressure and temperature. Either the factory or manual preset value can be selected. Handling Alerts When any of the tires is not within the threshold limits (e.g. under inflated or over heated, the following will occur: • An audible warning will be activated for a period of 10 seconds at the first occurrence. • The backlight of the LCD display would be activated for 20 seconds at the first occurrence. • Low/High Pressure Alert: Pressure Alert indicator (Yellow) of the module turn On permanently. • Initial Low Pressure Alert: Pressure Alert indicator (Yellow) of the module will blink. • High Temperature Alert: Temperature Alert indicator (Yellow) of the module turns On permanently. • Tire icon will blink at the faster rate. The above conditions will persist until the threshold returns to their corresponding preset value. All TPMS unit comes with the following factory-preset value: a. Initial Low Pressure Alert when tire pressure is greater than 120Kpa but lesser or equal to 170Kpa (50Kpa before Low Pressure Alert) b. Low Pressure Alert when tire pressure is lesser or equal to 120 Kpa (23 Psi) c. High Pressure Alert when tire pressure is greater or equal to 300 Kpa (44 Psi) d. High Temperature Alert when tire temperature is greater than 80ºC (176ºF) Pressure Alert Indicator Temperature Alert Indicator LCD Display Increment Value /Kpa / Bar / Psi OK key / Power On/OFFTire Select Decrement Value / °C / °F Mode Select Figure 1 Display/Receiver Module Page 4
4. SENSOR/TRANSMITTER MODULE Installation Caution: Qualified personnel must perform the following installation procedures to ensure that the Sensor/Transmitter Module are properly installed and undamaged. It does not include any standard procedures normally required in the process of replacing a tire but due care should be taken to ensure that the sensors are not damaged. Tools Required • Tire changing equipment • Tire balancing equipment • Philip Screwdriver Figure 2 Sensor Module Figure 2a – How to Install Sensor Module with Tire ValvePage 5
Installing Sensor/Transmitter Module Note The following is suggested installation sequence: Transmitter Wheel Position Red (1) Left Front Yellow (2) Right Front Blue (3) Right Rear Green (4) Left Rear White (5) *Spare Tire Table 5 • Remove the original tire valve from tire rim. • Insert the provided tire valve into rim valve hole. (Figure 3a & Figure 3b.) • Position the Sensor/Transmitter rear to the mounted tire valve. (Figure 4), • Insert the provided screw to the Sensor as shown in figure 5 and screw the Sensor to the tire valve. (Figure 6). The tire valve will be the reference position of the sensor in order not to damage the sensor when removing tire from the wheel. Ensure that the screw is properly tightened to hold the sensor. • Attach the corresponding color tag to the valve stem and secure it with the valve cap by carefully twisting the tag onto the valve stem. See Figure 7a and Figure 7b. • Proceed to mount the tire onto the wheel. • Ensure that the tires are properly re-balanced. *Optional Part Figure 3a Figure 3b Figure 4 Figure 5 Figure 6 Figure 7a Figure 7b # = The tag (Figure.7a) has the same color and number as the same as the sensor label (Figure.7b). #Ensure that each of the color tag correspond to the color label on the sensor. Refer Table 5 for the corresponding sensor tag to tire. Keep the colored sensor tag on the valve stem for installation and tire rotation. Page 6
