12. How to position the equipment
The equipment incorporates a low-frequency antenna to transmit sensor data. An

on the top panel of the equipment shows where the tip of the antenna is
located. In order to properly energize the valve, the equipment must be aligned with
valve body as shown in the figure below. Anyway, the equipment must be placed
over the tire and tilted towards valve body.
Correct position
This set-up ensures the ideal condition for low-frequency data transmission to the
sensor installed inside the tire. Other set-ups, like that shown in the next figure, could
lead to noise between equipment and valve. This prevents communication between
the two and makes accurate sensor diagnosis impossible.
WRONG position
