1. Introduction
Tire-Safeguard
is a wireless tire pressure monitoring system. This
valuable addition to your vehicle will help you drive safer.
Tire-
Safeguard
automatically monitors your vehicle tires, and will
immediately alert you of abnormal tire pressure and/or temperature,
providing a timely warning to you in order for you to take corrective
action. In addition,
Tire-Safeguard’s
digital display makes tire pressure
maintenance easy. You will no longer need to manually check the tires
with a pressure gauge. Consequently, your tires can easily be kept in
optimal operating condition. The resulting benefits are obvious:
reduced uneven tire wear, reduced severe tire damages, reduced air
loss related tire failures, increased tire life, improved fuel efficiency,
improved vehicle braking and handling. Best of all,
Tire-Safeguard
will
help you drive with enhanced vehicle safety and with less worry of flat
tires and blowouts.
2. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Overview
The major components of
Tire-Safeguard
TPMS
are: one sensor-
transmitter per tire, a receiver, and a display. For the rim-mounted
model, the sensor-transmitter is affixed inside the tire on the wheel with
a stainless-steel band. The sensor-transmitter automatically
and
continuously monitors the tire and, periodically, transmits out RF
signals with the current tire pressure and temperature readings. Upon
detection of abnormal tire pressure and/or temperature, the sensor-
transmitter will immediately issue a warning signal. The receiver
captures the signals from the sensor-transmitters and forwards them to
the display unit.
