OOL POSITIONING
Correct tool positioning is important to ensure effective sensor activation and
decode. Place the TECH700 against the tyre wall, adjacent to the tyre valve stem,
pointing towards the sensor location as shown below. Avoid placing the tool over the
metal rim.
Wheels that are clamped together in a dual configuration have their sensors
positioned at 180 degrees to each other. The outer wheel should always be read first
as it is visually easier to find. To read the inner wheel sensor, it is important to place
the tool 180 degrees from the outer sensor. Also the top of the tool needs to be
placed between the two wheels pointing toward the inner sensor.
Sensor Activation
LF Activated Sensors
Once the tool is correctly aligned press the “Test” key.
Hold the tool in the same position until the progress bar has timed out.
Depending on the sensor type selected the response time could vary by several
seconds.
A successful read will be acknowledge with a beep tone and the tool will vibrate.
(Haptic response)
