TPMS Description:
TPMS is the abbreviation of Tire Pressure Monitoring System. It is an electronic system for monitoring the air pressure in a
vehicle tire and automatically transmitting a warning to the driver in the event of an under or over inflated tire.
Why need TPMS?
1) Safety. Remind the driver to take measures when tires are in abnormal status to prevent accident.
2) Cost Saving. Help drivers adjust tire pressure to correct, reduce fuel consumption caused by under-inflated tires, reduce
tire abrasion to extend tire life
3) Environmental-friendly. Decreases vehicle fuel consumption, less CO2
4) TPMS legislation. TPMS is an vehicle safety product that already be legislated to use in US in 2007 and EU in 2012, it
will be a global trend and a booming market.
Chapter 2 Working Principle
The tire pressure monitor system is made up of a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and a group of sensors. Sensors are installed
onto the valves of four tires to collect the data of tire pressure and tire temperature. The data is then sent through radio
electromagnetic wave to the CPU installed in the vehicle.
The tire pressure and temperature information will be displayed in the screen after being processed by the CPU. When
scenarios such as tire air leakage, tire pressure too high or too low, tire temperature surpasses the alarm threshold, sensors
malfunction happens, the system will alarm drivers by means of beeps and screen graph flashing. This way, the potential
problems of the tire are early warned to keep the driving safer.
Brief Introduction to installation procedure & operation
First of all, install the display, when the display screen is power on, the 4 tires’ icon in the display chart are all flashing, then,
screw the 4 sensors onto the 4 tires valves, several minutes later, pressure data are renewing, the tire icon will not flash any
more, then restart your car, the tire icon in the display will flash again, please drive your car for a while, when the car speed
reaches 15 kilometers/hour, in several minutes, the display will receive the signal from the sensors, the tire icon will not flash
any more.
During driving, every 2 minutes, data will be updated in the display, 10 minutes after parking, display will keep still, no more
data renewal. If tire pressure changes caused by air leakage or some other reasons, or, the driving speed is over 15
kilometers/hour, the display begin to renew data.
The sensor battery is RC1632 3V lithium battery, the battery's normal life is over 3 years, can be easily replaced and bought
in the market.

Chapter 5 System Setup Instruction

 Settings of the pressure alarm threshold
When the tire pressure is over the Highest Tire Pressure Limitation or under the Lowest Tire Pressure Limitation, TPMS
will automatically make sound and flicker alarm.
The factory setting of TPMS is 3.2 Bar for the Highest Tire Pressure alarm threshold, 1.7 Bar for the Lowest Tire
Pressure alarm threshold. Different type of cars can be set based on the parameters of the tire or relevant instruction book.
