Appendix EPK 500 & Relay - To be used in conjunction
with section 2.10 Monitor Tyre Configuration
EPK500 & Relay Installation
EnTire Solution TPMS configured with more than eight sensors, must be installed with a Relay
(EPK500). This will boost the sensor signal range and make it effective and improve communication
reliability.

Display Monitor and Sensor Extension
Step 1:
Re-configure the display monitor according to the installation steps. (Chapter 2.10 Monitor Tyre
Configuration)
Step 2:
Re-configure the display monitor to learn each sensor (Chapter 5.4 Programming of
Replacement Sensor) in the appropriate tyre position (i.e. 7R, 8L) according to tyre diagram (fig. 20 in
Chapter 2.10 Monitor Tyre Configuration). Please write appropriate sensor name with water-proof marker
on blank inner sensor label and blank outer anti-theft sensor cap label.
Step 3:
Check and set the standard tyre pressure setting (Chapter 2.12 Time Setting and Standard
Pressure Setting). Standard tyre pressure value, as recommended by tyre manufacturer, needs first to
be programmed into the system first before the system can work properly. Refer to your vehicle owner’s
manual for your tyres standard pressure value.
Step 4
: Install new sensors on correct tyre valve stem (Chapter 3.1 Sensor Name and Tyre Diagram and
Chapter 3.2 Sensor Installation). Please note that the sensor’s weight (~0.63 Oz, 18.0±1 grams) may
affect the tyre‘s balance after installation. It is recommended that a user have the tyre balance checked
at a tyre installation centre.
