Bluetooth Smart is a very low power wireless technology that could operate on a single coin cell battery for up to twelve months (NOTE: Battery life may vary according to usage and climatic
temperature. Operating under extreme cold may drastically reduce battery life.)
Please ensure that your smartphone has Bluetooth Smart Ready (Bluetooth 4.1 or later) capability in order to use FOBO Ultra. Currently FOBO Ultra works best with iOS 7.1 and Android 4.30 or above.
Before starting to use FOBO Ultra, please download the free FOBO Ultra App to your smartphone from Google Play Store or Apple AppStore.
FOBO Ultra is a product designed and produced by Salutica Allied Solutions Sdn.
Bhd. (“Salutica”), a Malaysian company with its address at No. 3, Jalan Zarib 6,
Kawasan Perindustrian Zarib, 31500 Lahat, Ipoh, and Perak, Malaysia.
2 About FOBO Ultra
FOBO Ultra monitors your vehicle tires non-stop around the clock. Most drivers have encountered situations where they need to rush for an urgent delivery only to be stranded by a flat tire. Conventional Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) could not alert you in advance because it stops operating as soon as the Vehicle ignition is switched-off. With FOBO Ultra, you will get an alert as soon as the tire pressure drops below a certain pre-set level, even when the Vehicle ignition is switched off as long as you are within Bluetooth range(up to 30 meter with line of sight; but the range may reduce by obstacles in between). This alert gives you time to get the flat tire fixed before you need to use it.
FOBO Ultra can monitor up to 20 vehicle profiles on each smartphone. You can receive data from the tire pressure sensors from all your vehicles without switching on the ignition. FOBO Ultra allows you to monitor your Vehicle tires conveniently at any time you want. NOTE: Under certain conditions the signals from FOBO
Ultra sensors may be blocked by surrounding objects or structures. If this occurs, please move around the vehicle in order to capture signals from all the tire sensors.
If you are sharing your vehicle with others, you (FOBO Sharer) can authorize others (FOBO Sharee) to use your FOBO Ultra through the FoboShare function. After adding them through FoboShare, FOBO Sharees who use your vehicle will
3 | P a g e
Page 4
receive alerts and data from your FOBO Ultra on their respective smart phone which is installed with FOBO Ultra App. Refer Details at Section 5.3
FOBO Ultra packaging consists of 4 wireless tire sensors, 1 wireless In-Car unit or Repeater and a 24V 10 feet power cable with connector to In-Car or Repeater. Replace your vehicle tire valve caps with the sensors and place the In-Car unit inside the cab. The sensors will measure tire pressure of each tire and transmit via Bluetooth to the In-Car unit and your smartphone. In case of a breach of pre-set threshold of tire pressure, the In-Car unit will produce an audible alert to notify you. An alert will also pop up on your smartphone if it is within Bluetooth range.
FOBO Ultra system requires a qualified smartphone and FOBO Ultra App for installation. In addition to being able to view information regarding your vehicle tire pressure and temperature, the FOBO Ultra App will also produce an alert when your tire has a problem.
DISCLAIMER: FOBO ULTRA IS NOT A DEVICE THAT PREVENTS ACCIDENTS. IT IS ALSO NOT A DEVICE THAT PREVENTS TIRES FROM BECOMING DEFLATED OR OVERINFLATED. FOBO ULTRA IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR SAFE TIRE MAINTENANCE PRACTICES. PLEASE CONTINUE TO TAKE PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES WHILE DRIVING AND TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY OF YOUR VEHICLE’S TIRE CONDITION TO ENSURE SAFETY WHILE DRIVING. YOU SHOULD CONTINUE TO PRACTICE PROPER TIRE CARE AND SCHEDULED TIRE MAINTENANCE.
3 Importance of tire care
It is extremely important to ensure vehicle tires are properly inflated for safety while driving. However, many drivers tend to neglect proper tire care and maintenance. The vehicle tires are the only contact points between the vehicle and the road. The weight of the vehicle and passengers are supported by the air pressure inside the tires. Improperly inflated vehicle tires may cause serious accidents on the road.
When tires are underinflated, the additional rolling resistance may cause buildup of heat which may lead to the de-lamination of the tire materials as well as damage to the tire‟s sidewall, which in turn increases the chances of a tire blow-out. Underinflated tires will also cause accelerated wear on the tire shoulders thereby causing uneven tire wear. Gas mileage will also be affected due to additional rolling resistance when driving with underinflated tires. You would also experience a significant loss of steering precision and cornering stability. Significantly under­inflated tires will also be less effective in resisting hydroplaning.
4 | P a g e
Page 5
On the other hand, an overinflated tire will cause accelerated wear on the center portion of the tire resulting in uneven tire wear. It would also result in a harsher ride and makes the tire more susceptible to damage when going over potholes or debris on the road..
What is the optimum tire pressure? There are a lot of information about this subject in internet forums and web articles. A quick guide for better understanding of tire pressure below:-
1) Vehicle manufacturers recommend the optimum tire pressure for their
vehicle models. The information is usually available on a sticker at the door jam (side of the driver‟s door) or in the owner‟s manual. For some vehicle models, the information sticker may be on the trunk lid or on the fuel door. Vehicle manufacturers usually recommend different tire pressure for front and rear axles. This pressure is usually recommended for comfort driving and optimum performance of the vehicle. It is not advisable to go below this recommended pressure level.
2) The vehicle manufacturer recommended tire pressure is “cold pressure”.
When you drive your vehicle to the gas station, the friction on the road will heat up your vehicle tires within a few minutes. Typically there will 1 psi (~7kPa) increase in air pressure for every 10 deg F (5.6 deg C) rise in temperature. It is advisable to inflate the tire pressure with this compensated pressure above the recommended pressure.
3) Air pressure in tires is affected by changes in temperature. Check and adjust
your tire pressure whenever there is a drastic change in environment temperature, e.g. Change of season.
4) A tire will normally lose its pressure through natural causes unless
accelerated by a puncture, faulty valve or damaged wheels. It is advisable to change the tire valves or at least check the valves condition every time you change a new set of tires. Under normal condition, a set of tires could deflate at a rate of up to 2psi per month. It is good practice to check your tire pressure regularly and top up to the optimum pressure.
5) Every vehicle tire has a maximum inflation pressure. It is not advisable to
inflate to the maximum inflation pressure of the tire. Follow the vehicle manufacturer‟s recommended tire pressure instead.

The FOBO Ultra In-Car unit/Repeater is a complex device that performs multiple functions. Due to the shielding effect of the vehicle chassis, some drivers may face difficulty in receiving the tire sensor signals on their smartphone when sitting inside
6 | P a g e
Page 7
the cab. This problem may be further aggravated when the driver places the smartphone in positions that are not optimal such as trouser pocket or waist pouch. The In-Car unit is designed with an efficient antenna that can pick up sensor signals better than a usual smartphone, enabling good signal reception from the tire sens­ors. Keep the In-Car unit in the cab and fix the Repeater in the center of the Trailer for optimal functioning of FOBO Ultra. You may remove it for other sensor operation purposes, such as sensor position rotation and sensor disabling but place it back once the sensor operation is completed. Note that In-Car unit is not water-
proof.

To conserve battery life, the In-Car unit/Repeater will go into „sleep‟ mode after it detects that the vehicle has been stationary for more than 15 minutes. It will „wake up‟ once it detects that the vehicle moves. You can still receive your tire pressure and temperature data by accessing the FOBO Ultra App on the smartphone, even when the In-Car unit is asleep. This is due to FOBO Ultra sensor‟s continuous operation of 24 x 7 which allows you to receive an alert even when the vehicle‟s ignition is switched off.
The In-Car unit/Repeater is also designed to be a secondary alert device in the event of a deflated tire. This is to cover situations when you do not have your smartphone with you while driving or if your smartphone‟s battery is dead. When there is a tire pressure alert, the In-Car unit/Repeater will produce an audible and visual LED alerts to inform you of a tire pressure problem.
Note: In the scenario if user planning not to use the vehicle which is installed with FOBO Ultra In-car unit/ Repeater unit for more than 1 week then it is advisable to remove the in-car unit/Repeater battery.
User have choice to choose the power source to power up the in-car unit/Repeater unit, they can choose to use Batteries (using 5AA Batteries) which are pre-installed in the In-car/Repeater or they can choose to use external power source by using

Knob cover
Single Internal Battery
Knob cover – waterproof cover. Please ensure the red silicon ring
is intact to prevent water from getting into electronics compartment.
Single internal battery - CR2032 coin cell battery. When replacing battery,
please ensure the “+” sign of the battery is facing up, away from PCB.
Internal PCB - internal electronics circuit (The pressure sensor chip
is mounted within this PCBA, and it senses the tire pressure against a built-in vacuum, resulting in an Absolute Pressure reading. The internal firmware will then subtract the sea-level pressure of 101.3 Kpa (14.7 psi) from this reading. This final reading which will be shown in the App can be termed as i) Tire Absolute Pressure minus sea level pressure, or ii) Gage Pressure reference to sea-level altitude. With this formulation, Fobo Ultra sensor will read the same pressure value for any given time, irrespective of altitude (assuming a constant temperature). This will ensure the correct tire footprint per vehicle manufacturer‟s pressure
9 | P a g e
Page 10
recommendation, for all altitude above sea-level, given a constant temperature.
As a corollary, a tire with a Fobo reading of, say 40 psi at an altitude of 5000ft, will read the same 40 psi when driven to sea-level, given a constant temperature. In reality, it will read higher due to the warmer temperature at sea-level, and may need some air release if the temperature difference is great. Tire pressure generally will increase 1 psi (~7kPa) for every 10 deg F (5.6 deg C) rise in temperature.
FOBO wishes to highlight the above formulation is for usage at sea-level and above, and will not be accurate for use otherwise. In practice, this should not be an issue as the lowest area on earth will result in an insignificant error of 0.3 psi (~2 Kpa).
For users who wish to retain „Gage Pressure
Reading‟, the FOBO Ultra App has a Gage Pressure, adjusted to local altitude using cell towers or individual phone barometer if available. This Gage Pressure button can be accessed from the App (Kindly refers to Section 5.10 of this user manual).
FOBO Ultra sensor units are designed to be robust and operate reliably 24x7 to provide tire information around the clock. It is designed to be water proof and by our special use of custom engineering plastics, it will be able to withstand road salts or other common automotive chemicals (petrol, engine oil, wash shampoo, etc.).
Our designers have designed the sensors to ensure that there is no air leakage as it replaces the tire‟s original valve cap. There is no need to screw on the sensor extremely tight. Apply a reasonable hand twist force to ensure the sensor is securely installed and should be able to be removed by hand with ease.
When installing the sensors, please follow the on-screen prompt of the In-car unit. After installation, in the event the tire sensors positions are mixed up, usually after performing a tire rotation maintenance, you can easily re­position the sensors to their correct position by selecting „sensor rotation‟ on the in-car unit and follow the on-screen instructions. This eliminates the need to remove the tire sensors physically.
10 | P a g e
Page 11
A missing or damaged tire sensor can be replaced easily through the In-car unit. You will need to purchase a replacement sensor which you can do so online at www.my-fobo.com. To replace the sensor, first select „Disable Sensor‟ on the In-car unit under sensor Management system and the pop-up will prompt you to tap on the tire position that you want to disable. Then, select „Replace sensor‟, upon selecting the app will blink at the first disabled position and the App will prompt you to install the replacement sensor. Follow the on-screen instruction and the replacement sensor will be paired and be ready to use.

NOTE: Battery life span up to Twelve months is an estimate based on normal use at 23 °C. Battery life may vary according to usage and climatic temperature.
Battery life span will change due to the following reasons:
1) Frequent change of pressure threshold setting in the App.
2) Disabling & enabling of sensors.
3) Release & pairing.
4) Removal & screw-on of sensors.
5) Operating under extreme cold/hot temperature.
6) Testing of product.
7) Rotation (refer section 5.4 of this user manual)
8) Trigger alert or let activated alerts unattended.
9) Multiple removal and screw-on of sensors for equalizing all tire pressures.
11 | P a g e
Page 12
All these activities will drain a battery very fast and affect the battery life span.
4.3 Sensor Lock nut and wrench
FOBO Ultra sensors and In-Car unit are tied to a FOBO account after installation. They are not re-usable or transferable without the owner releasing them from his/her FOBO account. This is a theft deterrent feature to discourage theft.
As an additional anti-theft feature, all FOBO Ultra package comes with lock­nuts and special wrench. FOBO Ultra functionality is not affected if you do not use the lock-nuts.
The lock nuts and wrench are made of custom engineering plastics that can withstand road salts and common automotive chemicals (gasoline, engine oil, wash shampoo, etc.).
In order to use the lock nuts, you must first install the lock nut to the tire valve (with the bump facing tire rim). Screw in the lock nut all the way down and ensure that there is still a minimum of 5 thread count on the tire valve for the sensor unit to be screwed on. If there is insufficient thread for the tire sensor, it may lead to air leakage. A solution for this would be to change the tire valve to one with a longer thread. Next, screw in the tire sensor unit until it is reasonably tight. Then use your finger to unscrew the lock nut outwards (i.e. anti-clockwise) until it pushes against the bottom of the sensor unit. Use
12 | P a g e
Page 13
the wrench to tighten the lock nut. The resultant friction force will make it difficult to remove the sensor unit without loosening the lock nut. For rubber valves, hold the valve stem with one hand and tighten the lock nut with the wrench on another hand. This is to avoid the rubber valve from twisting making it unable to tighten the lock nut.
WARNING: Do not apply too much force to tighten the lock-nut. You may face difficulty to loosen the lock nut later on especially for rubber
valves that typically doesn’t stay firm on the tire rims.
NOTE: If your tire valve is too short, you shouldn’t use the lock nut as
this will block the sensors from being completely screwed on the tire valve and causes air leak. Our sensors are designed to work on a tire valve with a minimum of 5 thread counts.

CAUTION:
Motor vehicles of all kinds (caravan, trucks, RV and Trucks) come with a
very wide variety of rims, wheels, and tires, with an even larger choice of aftermarket products. It is impossible for us to test every combination and check the fitment of the FOBO Ultra sensor. In some instances, when the FOBO sensor is screwed onto the valve stem, it might extend slightly beyond the face of the rim/wheel. If the rim/wheel comes close to or strikes an object, such as a curb, a pothole, the guide rail for an automatic vehicle wash, or a component on the vehicle, the FOBO sensor or the valve stem itself might
34 | P a g e
Page 35
become damaged. This can cause the FOBO to provide improper readings, or might cause a loss of air pressure. We recommend that you carefully assess the fitment of your rims, wheels, tires and the FOBO on your vehicle. If you have any concerns, consult with your tire shop or auto mechanic.
5.5 Sensor rotation
It is good practice to rotate your tire positions regularly to balance the thread wear of your tires, usually swapping the front tires with the rear tires. FOBO Ultra is designed to conveniently set the sensors to their correct tire position in the in-car unit after you have swapped your tires on your vehicle. You do not need to physically remove the sensors. To correct the position of the sensors in the in-car unit/Repeater, please select “Tire Rotation” under Main Menu on in-car unit/Repeater. You will be prompted by the in-car unit/Repeater to:
1) Select the sensor position to rotate. Move to the desired position to
