PRE-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
When Sensors are installed, they recognize the tire’s current pressure as their BASELINE,
therefore tire pressure at the time of installation is important. It is recommended to
install Sensors with all tires inflated to the manufacturer’s recommended pressures while
the tires are “cool”. Installation in the morning before vehicle movement is optimal, but
not necessary. Installations can be done when tires are “warm”, though doing so, without
manually resetting the reference pressures, may cause false alerts. If installation is done
while tires are “warm”, simply reset the reference pressures using the following
instructions:
MENU → VEHICLE SETTINGS → REF PRESSURES → AXLE REF PRESSURE or VEH REF
PRESSURE → Axle or Vehicle → Adjust reference pressure using → Use to
save the new reference pressure NOTE: AXLE allows the user the ability to control
reference pressures by axle; VEH allows the user the ability to control the reference
pressure based on the virtual unit or vehicle
Tires and valve stems
should be carefully inspected prior to installation of the system
to ensure that they are in good condition. Defective valve stems must be replaced. At
times, it may be necessary to clean the threads of the valve stem with a wire brush
before installing a Sensor.
The valve core (the small valve inside the valve stem) must depress fully and release
air for the Sensor to activate.
The Sensor might not activate properly if the valve core
pin is not flush with the end of the valve stem, allowing a good release of air to
interface with the Sensor. It is not unusual to find valve cores installed too deep, which
will cause the Sensor to not activate properly. The valve core should be centered.
Check valve core by pressing the end of a thumbnail directly into the valve core to
make sure it releases a “burst” of air.
NOTE – When installing Sensors on vehicles with aluminum valve stems:
New autos
may include factory installed TPMS Systems. New vehicles with TPMS utilize aluminum
valve stems while PressurePro Sensors are made with brass threads. Brass will bond to
aluminum due to the galvanic action between the different metals. When installing
PressurePro Sensors to aluminum stems, carefully apply dielectric grease, an anti-seize
compound, to the aluminum stem being careful to apply only to the threaded area of
the valve stem.
IMPORTANT: Remove Sensors every 4 weeks to ensure that the
aluminum stem and brass threads don’t bond. If storing the vehicle for extended
periods, remove the Sensors from the aluminum stems.
NOTE:
When using mounting options with your PULSE Display,
use #8-32
machine
screw. 1/4" length is recommended for most applications.
Hand tighten only.

US Letter Patent # 6,453,737 (Other Patents Pending)
Products using RF signals are subject to interference causing a loss of signal. Reception
depends on the environment and conditions present at the time of use. PressurePro is a
device meant for displaying tire pressures and has been designed to be as reliable as
possible with the use of RF transmissions.
There is no guarantee of signal reception.
This
device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation. PressurePro is a device meant for displaying tire pressures.
