Important Information
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. We recommend use on Metal type Valve Stems.
Never overload your vehicle. Overloading is extremely dangerous and
can cause failure of tyres, suspension and driveline 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
minimise 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, 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.

Tyre Pressure & Safety Information
x 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.
x Ensure the sensors communicate with the LCD monitor before initially
fitting them to your tyres to save time and hassle.
x Tyredog TPMS has a unique SecureFit mechanism to prevent sensors
from coming loose. You can decide whether to install it or not.
x Regularly check if sensors are fitted tightly. If necessary, spread water
with detergent on the valve stem to see if your valves are leaking.
x If a rapid deflation warning sounds, stop the car immediately to check
the tyre for damage. Remember to be safe when pulling over.
x The monitor will automatically make connections when it is powered on.
x 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.
x 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.
x If you have any questions or problems concerning your unit that are not
covered in this manual, please consult your nearest Tyredog dealer.

Getting Started
Example Diagram.
Note：The 3-way adapter is not included and is for illustrative purposes only.
Installation - RELAY
The relay is the main link between the sensors and the monitor. Without it,
the system will not function. It is recommended the relay be mounted in a
central location with considerably even distance between the furthest forward
and furthest rearward sensors.
It is important to remember that sensors connect to the relay they are
assigned to. If the relay is removed from the vehicle, the system will not
function. This is vital in Truck/Trailer (Car/Trailer) situations when the trailer is
often unhitched from the main vehicle. The relay should be mounted at the
rear of the vehicle in this case to ensure optimum performance.
11
TD-2300A Series V1.0
Installation - RELAY
The relay can either be powered by 4 x AA batteries or it can be hardwired
using the cable supplied.
TIP: If using the hardwired power cable, we recommend that you connect to a
permanent 12V/24V supply to ensure correct functionality of the relay.
Connecting to a switched power source such as accessories or ignition, may
cause synchronization issues with the monitor when powered up.
BATTERY POWER
To open the battery cover, undo the 12 Philips head screws. Insert the
supplied AA batteries into the battery slot observing the polarity markings.
When refitting the battery cover, be sure to line up the contact springs
correctly and ensure they are not bent upon contact.
Note: Inserting the battery incorrectly will cause damage to the relay.
Replace the 12 screws removed previously and ensure the rubber o-ring is
properly seated prior to tightening.

Installation - RELAY Continued..
HARDWIRED (12V/24V)
If using the included power cord, remove the DC socket plug at the bottom of
the relay. (If not using the power cord, ensure this socket plug remains fitted
as it seals the Relay from water etc.) When plugging in the DC plug, ensure it
is plugged in firmly so it will not come loose. When inserted correctly, it will be
sealed from water and other elements.

TD-2300A Series V1.0
Installation - Mounting the Relay
A
,
T
When fitting the Relay, time and care must be taken to properly decide on a
mounting location. Some key factors that must be considered are:
x The Relay must be mounted outside the vehicle. (not under bonnet)
x Total distance between first and last sensors.
x Total distance of car, truck, car + trailer etc.
x Vehicle/trailer structure (chassis/body density etc)
Please remember that any metal between the sensors/relay/monitor may play
a part in limiting the signal transmission between Tyredog components.
lthough a metal object may not be in the direct line of sight between the
components, it may still hinder signal transfer if the object is nearby or offside
to the signal transmission path.
When mounting the Relay, be sure that it is mounted away from moving parts
(tail shaft, axle, etc.) sources of heat (exhaust) and is fitted in such a place
that would keep it protected from potentially damaging terrain.
he Relay should be mounted using the supplied heavy duty bracket and an
existing bolt like shown in the diagram below.
Drilling holes into a vehicle’s body/chassis is not recommended as this may
affect the structure and your vehicles Warranty.

shown then connect the cigarette lighter plug to
a D.C. Outlet Socket in the vehicle.
12V / 24V DC
BATTERY POWER
The TD-2300A Monitor has a provision for 2 x AA Batteries which can be
inserted for Trouble Shooting and Testing Purposes Only. When the Moni-
tor is using Battery Power, the Monitor will automatically turn off after 60
seconds. Once the monitor turns off, you can press any button and it will
turn back on for a further 60 Seconds.
Battery Power can be used for setting the warning thresholds, program-
ming new relays, sensors etc..
Before reconnecting the monitor to hardwire (Cigarette Lighter Plug), we
recommend removing the AA Batteries from the Monitor.
