IMPORTANT INFORMAT ION
• This product is designed to indicate the conditions of the air inside your vehicle’s tyres. It should not be considered as a device that will prevent any traffic accident, injury or death.
• Tyres and valve stems must be checked before installation. It is very common for rubber valve stems to require replacement without showing signs of wear.
• Never overload your vehicle. Overloading is extremely dangerous and can cause failure of tyres, suspension and drivel ine components. A vehicle should never be operated if the GVM is greater than the design specification. Even a correctly inflated tyre can fail when overloaded.
• It is the driver’s responsibility to ensure safe driving conditions are met before setting off on any trip or journey.

TPMS Advantages
A Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is an efficient and effective solution to many current automotive safety issues. TPMS will help minimize driving risks and reduce fuel consumption. Some benefits include:
z Ensures safe driving conditions.
Tyre pressures can alter ride comfort and handling response.
z Minimises chances of tyre blowout.
Blowouts are a growing cause of road accidents. Even if a car can recover from a blowout, the damaged tyre left behind is an even greater hazard.
z Reduces time taken to inspect tyres.
It can be very time consuming to walk around large vehicles to inspect each tyre. A TPMS will help pinpoint a faulty tyre to save time. Everybody from driving enthusiasts, to small business owners, even nation-wide fleet operators can benefit from the time saved by a TPMS.
z Reduces running costs.
A properly inflated tyre ensures maximum fuel efficiency in all driving conditions. When a tyre is underinflated, it causes more rolling resistance, significantly increasing fuel consumption and engine and transmission wear.
z Extends tyre life
Tyres can be an expensive necessity especially in trucks or sports cars. An underinflated tyre wears quicker meaning it needs replacing sooner.

Exclusive F eatures
TYREDOG is a powerful tool for maximizing uptime and improving safety. TYREDOG sets a new standard in wireless tyre pressure monitoring systems.
A leading wireless TPMS solution for the light to heavy-duty car and trucking industries, TYREDOG is continuously developing new and better TPMS designs and manufacturing technologies. TYREDOG has helped major players in the trucking industry improve safety and reduce operational costs. The major feature of TYREDOG TPMS is the use of the world’s smallest valv e cap sensor. The extremely lightweight, compact sensor has been designed to simplify installation and remove the need to have wheels balanced when fitted. Through wireless technology, tyre pressure and temperature information is displayed on the friendly Graphic User Interface (LCD monitor).
Installation
z D.I.Y: System can be fitted quickly without any technical knowledge. z Wireless: All signals are sent via radio frequency with no wires. z Battery powered: Sensors and monitor are battery powered, and
monitor can be operated with supplied cigarette lighter adaptor.
z Security: All kits include the SecureFit locking mechanism meaning
your sensors will not come loose unexpectedly.
5
Operation
z Real-time: Tyre pressures are updated automatically so there is no
need to push buttons to check up on your tyres (except temperature).
z Graphical user interface (GUI): All information is displayed
together so unlike other systems, there is no need to scroll through each wheel to view status.
z Adjustable: High and low warning alarms offer great flexibility. z Audible: You can’t be expected to always keep watch of your tyres, so
a built in alarm will sound when there is a sudden change in pressure or temperature, giving you peace of mind.
Design
z All sensors can be securely locked onto tyre valves for added safety. z Learnable sensors are available so in the event of theft or damage,
sensors can be quickly and easily replaced.
z Sensors have unique individual codes to ensure there is no interference
from other 433MHz devices, even other TYREDOG systems.
z All TYREDOG kits undergo strict field testing to ensure quality. z The TD1000A-X can monitor tyres with pressures up to 60psi so almost
all car/4wd applications are supported.
z Sensors are treated for anti-corrosion during manufacture and use
rubber seals to prevent liquid and fine particles from coming in contact with the circuitry.

Tyre Pressure & Safety Information.
• Please take the time to choose a suitable location so operation can be performed quickly and safely.
o Be sure that the LCD monitor is firmly fixed to the windshield or
dashboard using the supplied mounting hardware.
o Please practice safe driving and only take the time necessary to read
the information displayed on the screen.
• Ensure the sensors communicate with the LCD monitor before initially fitting them to your tyres to save time and hassle.
• Tyredog TPMS has a unique SecureFit mechanism to prevent sensors from coming loose. You can decide whether to install it or not.
• Regularly check if sensors are fitted tightly. If necessary, spread water with detergent on the valve stem to see if your valves are leaking.
• If a rapid deflation warning sounds, stop the car immediat ely to check the tyre for damage. Remember to be safe when pulling over.
• The monitor will automatically make connections when it is powered on. It is normal for some readings to freeze until sensor updates are received.
• All Tyredog sensors have their own unique codes and are designed to reject interference from other devices operating on the sa me frequency.
• Many factors can cause tyre pressure to rise and fall. For example, warm weather or long distance trips will lead to a rise in tyre pressure.
• It is normal for tyre pressure to decrease over long periods of time. Periodically re-inflate tyres especially if your car is not regularly driven.
• If you have any questions or problems concerning your unit that are not covered in this manual, please consult your nearest Tyredog dealer.
