I. S&T TPMS1209C01 Full-Time Direct TPMS

TPMS1209C01 is a full-time direct tire pressure monitoring system including one wireless Monitor and
four screw-on Transmitters. The system can also support monitoring of the spare tire and a two-tire trailer
if needed. But this requires purchase of extra replacement transmitter. The Transmitters can be screwed
onto the tire valve to replace the original valve cap to sense the pressure insid e the tire all the time, and
transmit the pressure information data to the Monitor by RF technology.
The Monitor receives the data and displays the pressure on the screen. The Monitor will issue different
alarms if the tire pressure is over or under an improper state based on the standard pressure.
S&T TPMS1209C01 will sense and display the tire pressure and temperature all the time and can issue an
alarm when the tire pressure or temperature is at an improper level, so as to notify the driver to treat the
problem and prevent tire damage. With the TPMS1209C01, the driver can monitor the pressure and
temperature to avoid excess gasoline consumption and keep the vehicle at the proper pressure.

2. Choose a suitable location on the dashboard to install the monitor.

3. Connect lighter plug with vehicle power supply as shown in below figure.

If you do not find it convenient to use the lighter plug, the battery is an option for powering the Monitor.
User only needs to put two AA batteries into the battery box according to the correct direction of the
positive and negative.

Note:

1. When use battery, please avoid the monitor being placed in the sun for long periods of as it may
cause battery leakage or damage.

2. If the vehicle is dormant for long periods of time, we suggest that the user pull out the lighter plug
or turn off the monitor.

4. Turn on the monitor by switching to “ON”. Before the transmitters are installed, the screen displays as
shown below:

Note: The transmitters must be installed onto corresponding tire position as marked on the top.

Note: FL: stands for front left tire
FR: stands for front rear tire
RL: stands for rear left tire
RR: stands for rear right tire

If the vehicle equipped with spare tire or trailer tires, please refer to

“

VIII. Add New Transmitter or Replace Transmitter”.

Transmitter Installation steps:

1. Turn on the monitor and ensure it works normally.

2. Remove the current tire valve cap.

3. Put the security lock on the valve, ensure the side with screw to the direction which easy for operating.

4. Install the transmitter onto the valve. Ensure the transmitter being installed onto the corresponding tire
according to transmitter’s marks.

5. Connect the meshing parts of the Lock and the Transmitter to make them an integrated part.

6. Screw the transmitter and security lock firmly with the wrench.

7. After transmitters are installed, they will start working and sending signals to the monitor. As showed
below, the front left tire was installed with a transmitter and the monitor has received the information sent
by it.

is recommended that the user should take their car to a qualified service station for re-balancing. Or the
user can install the provided counterweights inside the package to keep tires balanced. To install the
counterweight:

1. Clean the location where the counterweight will be installed. This location should be directly across the
position of the Transmitter on the wheel.

2. Take out the counte rweight from the accessory bag in the package and remove the liner material on its
back.

IV. Standard Pressur e Inquiry and Programming

Programming Index Interface

After installed the transmitters, please check the setting of standard pressure of each tire to ensure whether
it is proper, if not, please follow below steps to adjust.

Under the normal operating mode, press the E key for 3 seconds to access
monitor programming index interface. The screen will display “-1-”

which

stands for index interface 1.

Standard Pressure Inquiry

The pressure alarm that issued by monitor is based on the standard pressure.
The system will issue the high pressure alarm when the tire pressure is 25% higher than the standard
pressure.
The system will issue the low pressure level 1 alarm when the tire pressure is 12.5% lower than the
standard pressure.
The system will issue the low pressure level 2 alarm when the tire pressure is 25% lower than the stand ard
pressure.
The system will issue the low pressure level 3 alarm when the tire pressure is 50% lower than the stand ard
pressure.
It is necessary to set a proper standard pressure to ensure the system working normally. The default
standard pressure set in factory is 32 psi. User can adjust the standard pressure according to actual needs.

Under the normal interface, press E key for 3 seconds to enter the monitor
programming interface and display the index interface 1.

Press S key to switch to the index interface 2, then press E key to enter the
standard pressure inquiry interface.

The screen displays the standard pressure for front left tire firstly. The default
standard pressure is 32 psi.
