INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Tai-Safety Tire Pressure Monitoring System. We hope that you will

enjoy the great performance with this product. This Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) was

designed for increasing security, reliability, and understanding on tire conditions of your car.
Tai -Safety has had designed several different types of Tire Pressure Monitoring System for
applying to trucks, cars, and motorcycles. For motorcycle, sensors are implemented inside tires and
are fixed on wheels by stainless clamps; for both car and truck, sensors are fixed on by air valves.
Once you properly install the Tai-Safety TPMS in your vehicle, sensors inside tires will
automatically monitor pressures and temperatures of tires in real-time, and send these data to
receiver through wireless communications. When there is any abnormal pressure (under or over
inflated) and/or temperature of tire detected , the receiver will warning driver immediately through
flash light and alarm voices . This system ensures you are driving in safety. Since TPMS requires

implementing sensors inside tires of vehicles and keep working on such a rigor environment (inside

of the tire of your vehicle) , it will correctly and effectively work only with proper installation. In order

to prevent potential danger and obtain maximum benefit from your set, please observe the following
instructions when installing and operating the product.Keep this manual for futur e reference, and record

v Installing the TPMS requires removing tires from vehicles.
v Balancing is necessary after TPMS installed.

Please get help from professional tire shop if necessary.

v To increase work efficiency and simplify installation procedure of TPMS, it is

recommended installing sensor into tire one after one.

New Installation

Tai -safety TPMS was a directly tire pressure monitor system, i.e. it directly measure pressure and
temperature of your vehic le tires no matter your vehicle was parking or moving. It is necessary to
install one pressure sensor into each tire. The sensor installed inside tire, will keep going to measure
pressure and temperature of tire since it was successfully installed, and send these data to the
receiver placed in vehicle. After correctly installed on vehicle, Tai-safety TPMS will guard all tire
situations and warning driver if any abnormal condition detected to prevent serious accident dur ing
vehicle moving.

Installation steps:

Step 1: Check components

Open Tai-safety TPMS package, c heck the supplied components before installation.
In case of missing or damaged, please contact the dealer immediately.

Step 2: Check identification numb er

Check sensors, there should be an identification number (ID)
marked on the top of individual sensor, and this ID was unique.
After installing one sensor into one tire, this unique ID will make
this tire become unique and easy to identify.

Step 3: Set up the receiver
Plug the attached power cord into Receiver and insert the other terminal to the cigarette electrical
socket of vehicle. You can adjust parameters of receiver according to your requirement.

Step4 : Enable and Test sensors before installing

Sensors must be enable d before installed into tires. To enable a sensor, it is only needed to pull out
the jumper attached on sensor. After successfully enabled, sensor will start to measure environment

air pressure and temperature and send them to receiver. Test the healthiness of this new enabled
sensor can easily done by only monitoring signals send form it. User can use TPMS Receiver to
monitoring signals send form his new enabled sensor. Power on TPMS Receiver, switch receiver
into Tire ID Search and Position Setup Mode and search for ID of this sensor according to
procedures described on page 19. Sensor is good if its ID can successfully received by Receiver and

shown on panel of receiver , it may require a few minutes to complete this process.

v Only first two and last four digitals of ID will show on panel of receiver, for example, if ID

is 12345678, only 125678 will be shown.

v If ID not able identified by Receiver, please retry again. If still not work well p lease contact

your local dealer to get further help.

Step 4: Installing one sensor into tire
Since sensors must be installed to inner side of tires, it require separate rim and tire, mount sensor
to rim, install tire on rim, rebalance and install wheel back to vehicle. Please get help form
professional tire shops or your local dealer if necessary. Procedures of Install one sensor into tire
are following.

1. Remove the tires from vehicles.
