The tool is compatible with PCs running Windows operating systems.

 

 

Step 1: 

 

Power on the TECH600 and connect to a PC. T

he Tool will display a USB icon, to indicate 

that it is ready to receive update files.

 

 

 

 

Step 2:   

 

Navigate to TPMS Desktop, and login. If the User does not have TPMS Desktop or has not 

registered the TECH600, please refer to the 

Registration 

pages in this document. 

 

Step 3: 

 

TPMS Desktop will check for the latest available update for the TECH600. If there is an update 

available, a notification will be displayed. Select ‘OK’ to confirm that the update can be applied 

to the tool.

 

 

Step 4: 

 

TPMS Desktop will download the update files to the TECH600. When the files have been 

successfully downloaded, the TECH600 will install the files. Do not unplug the tool before the 

update has completed. 

 

IMPORTANT: Please ensure that you “safely eject hardware” from the PC before unplugging 

the TECH600. This is to prevent data on the tool from being corrupted. 

 

Step 5: 

The tool is now updated and ready to go. The user can confirm that the tool is up to date via 

TPMS Desktop. The software version can also be checked in the Tool Info screen. 

 

Trouble Shooting Tips: 

 

 

If Windows does not recognize the tool, please check that the USB cable is connected, 
that the tool is in update mode, and that there are no unnecessary update files on your PC 
available.

  

 

If the tool becomes corrupted after being disconnected from the PC without safely 
ejecting it, the user can perform a check to attempt to fix the issue. To do so, right click on 
the drive you wish to scan, and navigate to “Properties”. Select “Tools” from the available 
options, and then select “Check”, to allow the PC to begin checking the device.
