MY SENSOR WAS BLOWN OFF, (BLOWOUT) WITH NO ALERT GIVEN, WHY?
Instant tire failure is rare in comparison to the more common failure caused by gradual tire
deflation. It is possible, during an instantaneous blowout, to have the sensor blown off the tire
before it has had a chance to send a signal to the monitor. The 360RV is not designed for this
type of tire failure. Tire failure referred to as a blowout, is commonly due to low tire pressure
resulting in an overheating of the tire sidewalls to the point of disintegration. The DORAN 360RV
is designed solely to monitor tire pressure. It is not designed to provide warning of a potential or
actual tire blowout.
2. TIPS
TIRE CONDITION:
Conduct a regular visual inspection of the vehicles tires.
The sensors
are not a substitute for proper tire maintenance and it is the user's responsibility to
maintain proper amounts of tire pressure and respond accordingly to warnings and alerts.
Low tire pressure is not the only problem associated with tires. Therefore, symptoms such as
bulges, uneven tread, abnormal noise, etc. should
immediately
be brought to the attention of a
professional.
ROTATING/REPLACING TIRES:
When rotating or replacing tires, mark wheel location of each
sensor. Remove sensors and store in bags or in an egg carton until work is done, and then return
the sensors to their original wheel location. You can also delete the sensor positions on the
Monitor (page 12), and reinstall the sensors per the instructions on page 5.
RF (Radio Frequency) PRODUCTS:
The
Doran 360RV
utilizes RF technology to transmit a
signal between the sensor and the monitor. RF signals are subject to interference from many
types of signals and products, which can cause errors in the operation of the product. As with cell
phones and other types of electronics using RF signals, signal interruption can occur and cause a
lost signal transmission.
COOL TEMPERATURES AND HIGH ALTITUDE:
These conditions may cause tires to lose
pressure. If a tire is close to its low-pressure level, an alert can be sounded when pressure drops
overnight due to cooler temperatures. Inflate to proper level in the morning.
REMOTE ANTENNA or INTERIOR / EXTERIOR BOOSTER FOR UNIQUE APPLICATIONS:
Due to the unique features of RF signals and the construction and interference from electronics
on some RVs and Trucks, a coaxial antenna or RF Booster may be necessary. If needed, contact
