Sensor Battery Replacement

The typical battery life is >1.5 years. The battery is exchangeable. The monitor will alert if the sensor battery is low. The relevant tyre position with a low battery power alarm will show on the LCD Display Monitor (refer fig.2.3.1)

Note: LCD Display Monitor is not required to be switched on, this can be performed when LCD Display Monitor is not switched on.

To replace a battery:

1. Loosen the upper cover of the sensor with a spanner wrench. Take out the inside sensor enclosure. (fig.5.1.3)

2. Open the inside sensor cap by aligning spanner wrench to the 3 recess points at the bottom side of the sensor and turn it anti-clockwise.

3. Push out the used battery as shown in picture. (fig.5.1.4)

4. Put a new CR1632 Manganese-Lithium battery in, with the positive side facing out. (fig.5.1.5)

5. Tighten the inside sensor body with a spanner wrench by turning it clockwise. (fig.5.1.6)

6. Reinstall the sensor.

Note: The monitor does not need to be switched on during sensor battery replacement.

5.2 Troubleshooting and Valve Stem Pin

Failure Code

Failure Analysis

E-01

Monitor has lost contact of a sensor for over 20 minutes. The possible reason is the sensor is damaged or low on battery.

E-02

Sensor self-monitoring failure.

E-03

Sensor measurement (pressure or temperature ) range exceeded.

Good Condition

Pin Misalign

Corroded

Sensor Failure

Monitor Failure

If the monitor doesn’t turn on, check if the power cable is connected properly, and the vehicle's cigar lighter socket power is on. Otherwise, the cable or the monitor itself might be damaged.

Note: Please contact your dealer for replacement sensor, monitor or cable.

Valve Stem Pin

Be sure to inspect and replace any defective, corroded or cracked valve stems before installing the sensors. If replacements are necessary we suggest replacing the valve stems with a metal type stem. This improves the life of the stem due to premature failure from drying out and cracking of inferior manufactured stems. The valve stem pin at each tyre position should now be checked to see if it is in the correct position to allow the sensors to be activated by the air pressure from the tyres.

Troubleshooting and System

Maintenance

Valve Stem Pin Misalignment: If the valve stem pin is set too deep or off centred, the valve stem pin will not make good contact with the sensor pin plunger, resulting in an incorrect or no resulting pressure reading. Use a valve stem tool to adjust the pin out far enough to allow the pin tool to release air from the valve stem. The pin should not be extracted to the point that air is released all the time from the valve stem. This should be checked with the aid of a small amount of soapy water for air leaks.

Please write appropriate sensor name with water-proof marker on blank inner sensor label and blank outer anti-theft sensor cap label.

Step 3: Check and set the standard tyre pressure setting (Chapter 2.12 Time Setting and Standard Pressure Setting). Standard tyre pressure value, as recommended by tyre manufacturer, needs first to be programmed into the system first before the system can work properly. Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual for your tyres standard pressure value.

Step 4: Install new sensors on correct tyre valve stem (Chapter 3.1 Sensor Name and Tyre Diagram and Chapter 3.2 Sensor Installation). Please note that the sensor’s weight (~0.63 Oz, 18.0±1 grams) may affect the tyre‘s balance after installation. It is recommended that a user have the tyre balance checked at a tyre installation centre.

Relay Installation

Step 1: Select a suitable location to mount the relay onto the bottom of the vehicle undercarriage as

close as possible to the furthest rear tyre sensor from the LCD Display Monitor. Locate the vehicle's external DC power port and 7 power connector. (fig.8.1.1 and fig.8.1.2) Select a position for the relay that will have the clearest path and to where the LCD Display Monitor is mounted, make sure there is some clear space around the relay antenna to prevent blocking its reception and transmission. Clean truck undercarriage surface and mount relay with self-tapping screws, Velcro and tie-wrap to the selected area of the truck undercarriage. Make sure the distance between the relay and the truck's 7 Way power connector socket is within the reach of the enclosed relay 7 Way connector extension (1.2 meter). (fig.8.1.3)

Step 2: Attach to the vehicle's external +12 V or +24 V DC power supply to the relay with provided 7Way power connector, Brown line connected power supply positive, Blue line connected power supply negative. The relay's red LED will then light up. (fig.8.1.4)

Step 3: Confirm relay is working with all sensors, (See 5.3 Sensor Working Modes, if you install the relay after you install the sensor the signal may take up to 8 minutes to register with the LCD Display Monitor because there is no abnormal pressure condition and sensors are now in Normal Working Mode). The LCD Display Receiver should cycle through all the tyre pressure, temperature and transmission signal and sensor battery information. Note: Sensors are in normal working mode and it may take 8 minutes for each sensor to start to cycle their signal.

Troubleshoot Sensor and Relay

If a tyre sensor can not be located:

Troubleshoot the sensor and valve stem pin. (See 5.2 Troubleshooting Sensor and Valve Stem)

To troubleshoot a particular wheel location, fix LCD Display Monitor to the wheel location (fig.2.4.1)

Take the LCD Display Monitor in hand to the wheel location where the sensor is attached. Briefly loosen the sensor to release some air (you should hear a hiss) and then re-mount sensor, the sensor will transmit 4 signals to the monitor in 4 second intervals. You have 12 seconds to return to the LCD Display Mount position before the sensor returns to normal working mode (i.e. normal 8 minutes signal transmission cycle).

If you determine that the sensor is working properly and you do not receive a signal from the relay, the position of the relay maybe affecting the wireless reception. Please re-install and change the location of the relay.
