Precautions
1.Please choose the installation location carefully so that the LCD monitor will not interfere driver when driving.
1 Please make sure that the LCD monitor is firmly fixed to the windshield or dashboard.
2 When reading tyre pressure figures from LCD monitor, please take care of driving safety.
2.Please make sure the LCD display can receive signals from all tyre pressure sensors.
3.TireMoni WTPMS provides a unique anti-theft tool to prevent sensors from being stolen. You can decide whether to install it or not.
4.Please double confirm if sensors are fitted tightly. If necessary, please spread detergent water on the valve stem to check for any air leakage.
5.If tyre pressure is drooping or dropping quickly, please stop car immediately to find out if tyre is deflated or any other problem is happening.
6.The monitor will automatically make connections in the whole system when the car starts to run. It is normal that some tyre pressure figures might not be updated immediately if there is no change of tyre pressure in those tyres.
7.TireMoni WTPMS has mechanisms to avoid interfering /being interfered with other signals.
8.Many environmental factors cause tyre temperature to rise and fall as well. For example, hot weather or warm tyres will lead to rising tyre pressure.
9.It is natural that tyre pressure will decrease over time by diffusion but not caused by the installation of the tyre pressure monitoring system. TireMoni WTPMS always displays the real figure of tyre pressure.
10.If you have any questions or problems concerning your unit that are not covered in this manual, please consult your nearest TireMoni dealer or visit www.tiremoni.co.uk/FAQ.html.

TIREMONI TM-240/TM-260 TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
The Main Purpose of TireMoni TM-260
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is an efficient and effective solution to many of current automotive safety problems. TPMS will help prevent driving on deflated tyres and reduce fuel consumption.
There are benefits here:
Improves ride performance and handling
Tyre pressure has a huge influence on driving characteristics.
Decreases the chance of a tyre blowout
It is very critical to keep tyre pressure in good condition when driving, especially when buses or trucks are carrying people or dangerous materials such as poisonous substances, oil, etc.
Reduces labour of tyre pressure inspections
Multi-wheel trucks require a lot of time for human inspection of tyre pressure. It goes without saying that there is no chance to monitor tyre pressure while driving.
The TireMoni system provides a very clear picture of tyre pressure status among all tyres.
Does not add much maintenance cost
Advanced designs to give the best convenience to all drivers by wireless/ cordless design, external sensors, etc.
Less downtime
Real time monitoring gives you tight control of your tyre pressure and temperature and avoids unexpected accidents caused from abnormal tyre pressure and temperature.
Reduces fuel expenses
Fuel efficiency is reduced by one percent for every 3 P.S.I. of under inflation. It is for sure that tyre pressure is also one of the important factors to reduce petrol consumption.
Extends tyre life
Research finds that running tyres 20% underinflated can reduce tyre life by up to 50%. It is crucial to keep tyre pressure at the right level (right tyre pressure figures for each tyre normally suggested by your car manufacturer)
Increases return on investment
Concludes advantages mentioned above, by taking care of tyre pressure with simple Tyre Pressure Monitoring System, gains are much more than what you expect.
The Features of TireMoni TM-260

2.No connection to any sensor
In this example F1 (front left) no connection to sensor
A.Please make sure if sensors is screwed on where it should be.
B.Please make sure if sensor has battery inserted.
C.Battery has no power after use for a long time. Battery could run out of power and we suggest to replace with new battery.
D.Please make sure if your sensor has mixed with other systems’. As each sensor has its unique identified number and monitor can only receive pre-loaded identified number in each tyre position.
E.On larger vehicles (e.g. motorhomes >3,5 to) it can occur that the radio range of the (rear) sensors is too low. For this case a repeater/booster (optional) can be added to the system. Please contact your TireMoni dealer or visit http://shop.tiremoni.com
F.If these solutions do not help improve the situation, consult your nearest TireMoni dealer or contact TireMoni support: www.tiremoni.com/FAQ.html
3.Monitor does not stop beeping
When battery-lower indicator is on and keeps on running system for days straight, it could make monitor abnormal and keep on beeping. Just change battery for back to normal operation.
4.Monitor display color is getting dark.
When car temperature is over 85°C, it is natural that LCD panel will be getting dark. When car temperature is back to normal, LCD panel will be normal as well.
5.When temperature is below -25°C, the response time could be slower in LCD monitor.
6.Monitor in the ‘sleep mode’
Temporarily parking the truck or driving truck in a stable speed, which could let monitor get into ‘sleep mode’. It is a special design for power-saving purpose. You can simply slightly shock monitor or press any of buttons to wake it up.
7.Please make sure the surface of glass is clean and flat to give the best fitness to monitor bracket. Otherwise, the monitor could drop off.
8.Tyre pressure will be always changing by many environmental factors:
One of key factors is tyre temperature: Tyre pressure will rise by 4 P.S.I. for every 10 °C temperature rise when at room temperature of 25 °C.
TIREMONI TM-240/TM-260 TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
Installation
Do it yourself (D.I.Y.): TireMoni can be fully installed in a short time. We recommend to have the first time installation done by a professional.
Please note: It is recommended to install TireMoni sensors on suitable metal valves: Suitable length so that the sensor does not protrude from the rim and suitable valve type so that the forces are held by the valve case and not the gasket (e.g. Valve series ASC made by Alligator, see http://shop.tiremoni.com ).
Twin tyres / Valve extenders: Where (e.g. inner twin tyre) valve extenders are used, they need to be mechanically supported at the sensor end using suitable accessories. Valve extenders are under pressure when the sensor is installed; use only suitable models! (Standard plastic extenders are NOT suitable for use with TireMoni!)
Wireless and cordless: wireless sensors and LCD monitor ensure a quick and easy installation.
Battery-powered: Battery powered LCD monitor and sensor and battery low indicators on the monitor can remind driver of battery power status in all tyres.
Light and compact sensor: extremely lightweight and compact sensors with specially designed electronics.
Operating Concept
Graphical user interface: Powerful graphical user interface for rapid understandings of tyre status.
Real-time: high accuracy, real-time monitoring of tyre pressure and temperature.
Adjustable: fully adjustable pressure and temperature warning thresholds separately for each axle.
Warnings: The driver will be alerted when abnormal status of tyre pressure easily from 3.5” LED panel or from beep sounds.
3-way adapter design (optional accessory): new design of 3-way adapter allows users to inflate tyre without removing sensors.
Reliable and Robust
Anti-theft tool for sensor: all electronic sensors can be locked in place to prevent theft.
Sensors are changeable in the very unlikely event of defect or damage, so down time is minimal.
Ensure signal accessibility by providing peripheral signal integrity technology.
Strict environmental test have proven its reliability.
180 P.S.I: Tyre pressure can support up to 180 P.S.I.
Corrosion protection: metal section is completely immersed in rust preventative coating for increased service life and reduced downtime. Rust preventative coating is applied for durability. In addition we recommend installation using a suitable antirust installation spray.
Extendable Range: For trucks and large motorhomes and in cases where the radio range of the sensors is not up to desired level, a range extender can be added to the system. See http://shop.tiremoni.com
