FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT SHOULD BE DONE IF A LOW PRESSURE ALERT IS SOUNDED?
Immediately pull over
and check low tire. Be sure to check valve stem for damage. If no visual leaks are spotted,
perform a soap bubble test on the area to locate the leak.
CAN I STORE MY VEHICLE WITH THE DISPLAY ON?
The Display draws 25mA to 100mA of
power. It’s possible the Display could drain the vehicle’s battery over an extended period of
time. If storing vehicle for more than one month it is recommended that you unplug Display
and remove Sensors (see “Tips” section – “Vehicle Storage”).
DOES DISPLAY NEED TO BE POWERED BY LIGHTER ACCESSORY?
No. Hardwiring is actually
a preferred method of powering as it reduces back feed interference. Connect the red wire
to a 12 or 24-volt DC positive power source (direct wire to the battery is not required). The
black wire should be connected to a ground or chassis. When direct wiring, it is important
to install a 2 AMP in-line, fast blow fuse to protect the Display from voltage spikes.
DISPLAYS DAMAGED DUE TO HIGH VOLTAGE OR HIGH CURRENT ARE NOT COVERED BY
WARRANTY.
CAN DISPLAY BE USED INDEPENDENTLY ON FRONT OR BACK VEHICLE?
Yes.
MENU → VEHICLE SETTINGS → +/- VEHICLES → to desired Vehicles → Turn
“ON”/”OFF” (Using the button). *Note: Vehicle Layout settings, programmed sensors,
and reference pressures are saved when a vehicle is turned “OFF”
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I REMOVE A SENSOR TO INFLATE A TIRE?
Display will show “00”
reading. After 15 minutes, the Display shows 3 question marks (???).
WHAT IS THE “REMINDER” ALERT?
After an alert has been acknowledged with a button
press, the amber TPMS Alert/Warning Quick Indicator Light will remain solid as a reminder
of the alarm/warning condition.
HOW DO I DELETE SENSORS?
MENU → SENSORS → DELETE SENSORS → to desired
vehicle A-E (if applicable) → to desired tire location → Confirm deletion.
CAN I USE A SEALANT OR EQUALIZER POWDER IN THE TIRE WITH PRESSUREPRO
? If
using a sealant or powder, PressurePro recommends the use of a filtered valve stem (or
filtered core) to reduce the chance of the Sensor becoming clogged.
TIRE PRESSURES INCREASE WHILE DRIVING – DO I NEED TO DO ANYTHING?
While
driving, it is normal for tires to increase pressure and temperature.
DO I NEED TO REBALANCE MY TIRES WHEN USING A SENSOR?
The 2/3 ounce Sensors, on
large tires (RV/Truck), seldom necessitate a tire be rebalanced. Smaller tires may require a ½
ounce stick-on weight opposite the Sensor, or rebalancing.
WHAT SHOULD I DO IF A SENSOR IS LOST OR DAMAGED?
Contact your Dealer or
Distributor to order a new Sensor.

WHEN DO MY SENSORS TRANSMIT?
1.
Within 60 seconds of screwing Sensor onto the valve stem.
2.
Every 5 minutes while updating, under normal conditions.
3.
During an Alarm Condition.
4.
When a Sensor is removed from its valve stem.
IF I UNPLUG OR LOSE POWER, MUST I REPROGRAM DISPLAY?
No. Settings are always
retained unless physically deleted. Display shows 3 question marks (???) until Sensors
send a new updated reading within the normal 5 minute reporting period.
DURING INSTALLATION, NO SIGNAL WAS RECEIVED FROM THE SENSOR.
Higher radio
frequency (RF) transmissions propagate mostly via straight lines and along line-of-sight
pathways. PressurePro Sensors are required to accomplish a daunting task – transmit from
a vehicle’s tires to the Display. If a Sensor fails to give a pressure reading, slightly move the
Display, remove the sensor for 20 seconds, and reattach sensor.
AFTER INSTALLATION, PRESSURE READINGS DROP ON DISPLAY – ACTUAL TIRE PRESSURE
REMAINS CORRECT.
The probable cause is poor interaction between the Sensor and valve
core. Unscrew the Sensor and again hand-tighten the Sensor. (Be sure the Sensor and
valve stem are not cross-threaded.) If condition still persists, contact your
Distributor/Dealer.
POWER CORD & FUSE / WHY DOESN’T MY DISPLAY TURN ON?
If your Display does not
power, make sure the cord is properly connected. Check the fuse located in the cigarette
lighter end of the cord by unscrewing the silver ring (at the silver tip) of the plug. Remove
the bolt centered in the cigarette lighter end. Replace if necessary with a 2 amp in-line,
fast blow fuse.
HOW DO I CHANGE BETWEEN MEASUREMENT UNITS?
The PressurePro Display can show
pressure and temperature values in imperial or metric units. The TPMS+ Display shows the
measurement unit to the right of all readings. To adjust the measurement unit follow
these instructions: MENU → DISPLAY → MEASUREMENT UNITS → PRESSURE or
TEMPERATURE → desired unit of measurement
WHAT HAPPENS DURING A BLOWOUT?
During a blowout (or situation with complete loss
of pressure) the Display will signal at a 25% loss in pressure and read “00”. There may be
instances, such as in a catastrophic blowout, when a Sensor or stem is blown off the tire,
the vehicle moves out of signal range and no signal (alert) is received.
HOW DO I SET OR CHANGE MY PASSWORD ON MY DISPLAY?
The PULSE gives you
password protection abilities to eliminate accidental or intentional tampering with settings.
To set or change your password:
MENU > DISPLAY > ADVANCED> PASSWORD > Toggle
ON/OFF > “0000” is the factory password > CHANGE PASSWORD > Scroll through your
new password > LOG OUT to activate password.
