Introduction

Tire-Safeguard automatically monitors your vehicle tires, and will immediately
alert you of abnormal tire pressure and/or temperature, providing a timely
warning to you in order for you to take corrective action.

Sensor Installation

Tools Required:

• Tire changing equipment

• Tire balancing equipment

• Hexagon socket and driver

• Metal Cutter

• Torque wrench

a) De-mount wheel from car and remove tire from wheel.
b) Cut mounting band to appropriate length for the wheel. Remove burrs from

the cut band end.

c) Get correct sensor for the wheel, pass band through the two mounting hole

on the lower part of the sensor.

d) Wrap the band (with sensor) around the wheel base, insert band end into the

band clamp, and then use a socket wrench to advance the worm-gear until
the band is slightly pressing the wheel base.

e) Adjust band to the lowest areas of the drop center well on the wheel. Move

sensor to a position behind (but not touching) the valve. Make sure the sensor
is resting on a flat surface.

f) Using torque wrench tighten band to 30 inch pounds (4 N-m). The sensor

should be pulled down tightly against the wheel base and should not be
moveable.

g) Cut off excessive band (left about 1 inch). Mount tire on wheel, balance

wheel, and mount wheel back on car.

h) After sensor installation, turn on vehicle power (but do not start the car).

Inflate the tires to proper pressure. Observe that the display shows the
pressure and temperature one at a time for all tires. Pressing the control
button on the Display shows individual tire pressure and temperature.

Operation

After installation, the system operates automatically and continuously. When
vehicle power is turned on, the display will show the current tire pressure and
temperature one-by-one from tire No.1 to No. 4. The display then turns off and
only the status light remains lit. A green status light indicates normal pressure
and temperature for all tires, otherwise the status light turns red (low tire
pressure) or yellow (other warnings) and the corresponding tire indicator(s) and
the warning icon(s) are illuminated.

Warnings

Upon detection of abnormal tire pressure and/or temperature, the system will
sound an 8-second alarm and display the warnings.
