Overview
TripTek is a trip and coach management computer designed for motorhomes. By receiving data
from multiple sources, i.e. electronic engine computer, compass and temperature sensors
(optional), and other sources, the system collects, analyzes, and saves data in memory and then
displays information on the rear vision monitor.
Description
TripTek is comprised of multiple parts: a keypad, computer (behind dash), compass and
temperature sensors (optional), and utilization of the rear vision monitor for display.
Display
When the ignition is turned on, a pre-trip CHECK LIST is displayed to guide the operator
through a list of items to verify readiness of coach for travel.
To make efficient use of the data collected, and to best serve an actual vehicle trip, the system
offers the operator four separate screens: TODAY, LEG, TRIP, and COACH DATA.
The TODAY screen is designed to give you daily information. It provides miles to scheduled
destination, time to destination, miles traveled, time traveled, average MPG and average MPH.
As an option, it will also give you both inside and outside coach temperature and compass
heading.
The LEG screen is designed to give you information from fill to fill or for a trip. It provides
average MPH, time traveled, miles traveled, gallons used (by engine), average MPG, and road
speed.
The TRIP screen is designed for long term data tracking for a complete trip or longer. It provides
average MPH, hours traveled, miles traveled, gallons used (by engine), average MPG and current
MPG.
The COACH DATA screen is designed to give you both coach and engine/transmission
performance and operational data. It provides gears select & monitor, turbo boost, engine
temperature, transmission temperature, oil pressure, oil temperature and average MPG.
On a second level of screens there will be MAINTENANCE, COMPASS ZONE ADJUSTMENT,
CUSTOMER SERVICE, MAINTENANCE SETUP, COMPASS CALIBRATION.
The MAINTENANCE screen displays when to change ENGINE OIL, ENG. FUEL FILTER,
TRANSMISSION OIL, GENERATOR OIL and GEN. FUEL FILTER.
The COMPASS ZONE ADJUSTMENT screen is used to maintain compass accuracy by state. To
achieve maximum accuracy, it is recommended to change the zone setting when traveling from
state to state.
The CUSTOMER SERVICE screen is to give the operator easy access to the phone numbers and
web page of the coach manufacturer.
Page 1
Page 5
The MAINTENANCE SETUP screen is to set the sequence (miles for engine and hours for
generator) for maintenance.
The COMPASS CALIBRATION screen is for calibration of the compass after its initial
installation or anytime the compass sensor is replaced or relocated.

Active Tire Pressure Monitoring
There are few situations more stressful, dangerous, and inconvenient than
having a tire blowout when traveling at highway speed. The fact is that most
blowouts can be traced back to damage suffered from prolonged driving on
under-inflated tires. It’s frightening, but studies show that almost half of all RV
tires are under-inflated. The TripTek Tire system is a tire pressure monitoring
system specifically designed to meet the unique needs of RV’s. The system
constantly monitors your tires and warns you of a tire problem before it becomes
dangerous.
Sensors mounted securely to the rim using
stainless steel straps measure internal tire
pressure and temperature. This information is
wirelessly transmitted to a receiver mounted in
the vehicle.
Page 16
THREE LEVELS OF ALERT
The tire status screen displays all
pertinent data including pressure,
temperature and pressure deviation for
the selected tire. When an alert occurs,
the tire status screen will be displayed to
indicate the affected tire, its status and a
description of the alert.
Pressure Deviation Alert
The Pressure Deviation Alert is initiated when the measured tire pressure
deviates from the required pressure by more than the preset level. This is the
first warning of an under-inflated tire. When the pressure falls below the first
programmed level, TripTek alerts the driver with a warning light, audible alarm
and displayed information.
Critical Low Pressure Alert
The Critical Low Pressure Alert warns the driver when the tire pressure falls
below the second programmed level. This audible and visual warning alerts the
driver to take immediate precautions.
High Temperature Alert
The High Temperature Alert warns the driver when the tire temperature exceeds
a programmed level. This can indicate a serious tire problem or possibly a brake
or bearing problem that requires immediate attention.
And More …
• Displays all tire status on one screen.
• Tracks all warnings (tire log) to assist in managing problems.
• Temperature compensation profile is auto set by system.
• Can check tire status while parked.
• Stores in memory your primary vehicle and up to three towed vehicles.
• Monitors up to 28 wheels simultaneously and 56 total wheel positions.

From the ‘CONFIG TIRE’ menu press in sequ ence:
RESET, DOWN, UP, DOWN, RESET, L+R VIEW (together)
Any mistake will reset the sequence. When the sequence has been entered correct ly a new line
item ‘Check Signal Strength’ will appear in the menu. This item will be enabled until TripTek is
powered down (typically 90 min after the shutdown of the vehicle).
Screen Data Items
A. Strength of the last transmission. This data parameter is not saved at power down or after
changing tow vehicle. While driving this number will change from time to time reflecting the
most recent data from the tire. Tires with g ood reception will occasionally get a poor signal
strength transmission depending on the wheel position of the vehicle during the transmission.
B. Time since last transmission. This is in the minutes.seconds format. This timer is not running
when the vehicle is traveling less than 10mph . A new transmission zeros out this timer. The
time is accurate to the nearest 7.5 second boundary.
C. Average signal strength. This parameter is the average of every signal strength value for a
given tire received since the last reset.
D. Total of all received signal strengths.
E. Number of transmissions received since the last reset. (note that D/E = C)
F. Time the vehicle has traveled at a speed of more than 10 mph since the last reset. This
parameter is in the hours:minutes format and gives an indication of how long the vehicle has
been running.
G. Stop indicator. When ‘stp’ appears the coach is considered ‘stopped’ and timers B and F are
held stationary.
H. Overflow indicator. When ‘ovr’ appears, TripTek has accumulated as much data as i t can.
Future transmissions will not affect the n umbers C, D, or E.
I. Dotted tire: A dotted tire indicates no new signal strength data is available for this tire.
J. Bar graph tire: Tires for which data exists have a small bar graph contained within them. This
represents the currently selected parameter (A,B,C,D or E) as explained in the next section.
K. Tire with Plus: A tire with a plus indicates that the receiver is in the middle of receiving a
transmission from the indicated tire.
Page 18
Usage
Pressing UP/DOWN will select a tire within the TIRE RECEPTION screen. The currently
selected tire is the one that is blinking.
Pressing left VIEW will exit the TIRE RECEPTION screen.
Pressing RESET will reset the signal strength data for the vehicle the cursor is currently on.
(Data values B, C, D, E, and F).
Pressing SCREEN will change the current ly selected parameter. The current parameter is the
data item, which is blinking (item A, B, C, D or E) . When a parameter is selected (say parameter
C, the average signal strength) then each of the bar graphs within the tires of the vehicle will
represent the relative strength of the selected parameter. There are 7 possible graduations (from 0
to 6 bars) within the miniature graphs. They are mapped as follows:
Tire Bar Graph Key
A. Strength (last transmission): strength of 0-1 = 0 bars, strength of 2 = 1 bar, …. , strength of 7
or greater = 6 bars.
B. Last transmission timestamp: 0-8 min. ago = 6 bars, 8-12 min. ago = 5 bars, 12-16 min. ago =
4 bars, 16-20 min. ago = 3 bars, 20-24 min. ago = 2 bars, 24-28 min. ago = 1 bar, 28 min or
greater 0 bars.
C. Strength (average): strength of 0-1.9 average = 0 bars, strength of 2.0-2.9 average = 1 bar,
…., strength of 7.0 average or greater 6 bars.
D. Total of all received signal strengths: The bar graph represents a percentage of the maximum
total signal strength seen on any tire o f the given vehicle. Vehicles are considered separ ately.
For instance if the bar graph on one tire is half filled this means that the tire has a lower
signal quality than one that has a filled t ire from the same vehicle.
E. Number of transmissions: The bar graph represents a percentage of the maximum number of
transmissions seen on any tire of the vehicle. Vehicles are considered separately. For instance
if the bar graph on one tire is half filled this means that the tire has received half the number
of transmissions as the tire with a filled tir e f r om the same vehicle.
