Handheld Overview
The Esys TPM Handheld Reader is built specifically for the manufacturing environment. It is typically
used in conjunction with our in-line TPM Antenna Systems or by itself in very low production
environments. This wireless reader can update the plant system with the correct data to program the
vehicle.
The TPM Handheld reader is fully cordless and come in a rugged industrial case. It utilizes a powerful
Low Frequency wake-up signal (125 kHz) and comes with an integrated barcode scanner for reading
vehicle IDs. Multiple TPM stems (315MHz and 433 MHz) can be programmed in the same unit and read
with dual receivers. The stem types can be quickly changed with a one button press. TPM data is stored
for up to 50 vehicles. A docking station can be supplied for data transfer and battery charging.
The handheld is typically secured to the docking station by a magnet on the back of the handheld. The
docking station is typically provided by an automation System Integrator and customized to the end
user’s needs. The docking station has two pins that provide 12V DC and two other pins are a RS-485
serial communication to upload the data. Typically, to communicate to a PLC, the RS-485 link can be
converted to other communication protocols (e.g. Ethernet) based on the needs of the end user’s
manufacturing system. This is done with a 3
rd
party communication conversion device supplied by an
automation System Integrator.
