Components Components
5.1.2 The internal sensor (WIS)
CAUTION
Risk due to incorrect handling
Any changes of manipulation to the sensor of any type, especially attempts made to
change the battery will destroy the device and may damage the tire.
– Adhere to the maximum torques and use screws with locking paint.
CAUTION
Functional limitations due to incorrect installation
Vehicles that are equipped with external sensors (WM2) may not function when the ECU
receiver is in the same position when the external sensors are replaced with internal
sensors (WIS).
– Run a system test when you have replaced the external sensors with internal sensors.
– Install the ECU receiver in a more suitable place if the functionality is impaired.
Information and technical data
THE INTERNAL SENSOR (WIS)
WABCO part numbers
960 732 000 0
Pressure range 0 to 13 bar correspond to the nominal values of pressures from 3 to 10 bar
Transmission intervals
Every minute
Counterweight Not required
Installation
„
Installation on the rim by means of valve neck
„
Fastened to a special tire inflation valve with a 6 mm hollow screw coated
with locking varnish
„
The tire valve must match the installation conditions of the original valve.
„
In the interior the mounting surface for the valve must be aligned so that
the internal sensor rests flat and level on mounting surface. This prevents
large forces acting on the internal sensor and tearing it off during tire
assembly/disassembly.
