1. IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES
Please read the following important safety information before installing
the system.
1.1 System safety
TyrePal TA22X monitors up to 22 tyres, and provides an immediate warning if the
pressure or temperature of any tyre deviates from pre-set levels. It is intended to
help you maintain your tyre pressures at the optimum levels for safety, fuel
economy, tyre life and environmental impact.
It is your responsibility to ensure that it is suitable for your particular vehicle and
that it is working correctly and properly maintained. Check the sensors and valve
stems regularly, as some road salts can cause corrosion.
The system does not replace the need to carry out regular checks on the
condition and wear of your tyres.
1.2 Batteries and small parts
Keep the small parts and especially the batteries out of the reach of children. If a
battery is swallowed, consult a doctor. Do not hold a battery with metallic tweezers.
It may cause a short circuit. Do not recharge, disassemble or dispose of batteries in
a fire. Batteries can explode if mistreated.
1.3 Use of tyre sealant
Sensors should not be fitted to tyres that have been treated with internal tyre
sealant. The sealant may damage the sensor or impair its action.
1.4 Before installation
Before installing the system, ensure that it is suitable for your vehicle.
• Check that the operating pressure of your tyres is within the range of the
system. i.e. 0 - 10 bar (0-145psi).
• Check that sensor valve caps will remain within the outside profile of the
tyres when fitted.
• Check that tyre valve stems are in good condition before fitting the sensors.
• Do not use with aluminium valve stems.
• Select a location for the monitor unit so that it is visible to the driver
without obstructing visibility.

2. PLANNING THE SETUP
Please read this section carefully – it will save you time!
You must carry out these steps in the correct order.
1. Charge the monitor battery and insert sensor batteries
2. Decide which tyre positions will be monitored
3. Set the target pressures for each position to be monitored
4. Register the sensors to each position that is to be monitored
3. CHARGE THE MONITOR BATTERY
The monitor is powered from an internal
rechargeable battery that may need to be charged
before first use. It should only be charged using
the supplied adapter which provides the correct
voltage (5V) when plugged into the vehicle supply.
Using an incorrect adapter or wiring directly
to the vehicle without the adapter is
dangerous, could cause a fire or explosion and
will permanently damage the monitor. Such
damage is not covered by the warranty.
The monitor takes six hours to fully charge the
battery, but it is not harmed by partial charging and
does not have to be fully discharged before
recharging. A full charge will last for up to 30 days.
If the power is low, a battery warning icon will appear.
Note: If the power is switched off with the system plugged into
the charger, current may be drawn from the battery instead of
charging it, so don’t leave it connected to the charger when not
driving.

4. INSERT SENSOR BATTERIES
Each sensor requires one lithium CR1632 battery. The polarity of the battery is
critical. Incorrect polarity can damage the sensor. The battery lasts about
one year and a warning appears when the battery is low. Make sure the battery
goes inside the metal cage, not on top of it.
5. DECIDE WHICH TYRE POSITIONS WILL BE MONITORED
There are 22 possible tyre positions as shown below. Unused positions will not be
monitored or displayed, so we recommend that you mark your own tyre positions on
the blank layout below.
