Section B - System Installation – Tire Sensors
3.0 System Installation: Tire Sensors
3.1 Sensor Overview
The SmarTire ® TPMS sensor monitors tire pressure and temperature every
twelve (12) seconds and transmits tire data every three (3) to five (5) minutes.
If a pressure change of 3 PSI is detected, the sensor will not wait for the next
regular transmission and will transmit tire data immediately. The sensor has
an estimated battery life of five (5) years.
3.1.1 Break Away Cradle
If proper care is not taken when removing or installing a tire on a rim that
has a tire sensor installed, damage can occur. Each SmarTire tire sensor is
conveniently mounted in a break-away cradle so that if damage accidentally
occurs, the inexpensive cradle is broken instead of the sensor.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: PLEASE READ
Please read this section carefully and follow each step precisely to
ensure that you do not damage a sensor and that the sensors are
installed in the correct, pre-programmed locations.
SmarTire tire sensors can be broken when mounting and dismounting
a tire unless specific instructions are followed. If tire work is done
by an unauthorized facility, please let them know that a tire pressure
monitoring system is installed on the vehicle before they remove a tire
from a wheel.
Exercise caution and take precautions when cutting the steel strap
(
See Section 3.3 step 2.
). Beware of potential sharp edges!
