5.5 Replacing sensor batteries
When the sensor low battery icon is showing and a corresponding tyre icon is
flashing, the sensor battery needs to be replaced. The battery is a CR1632 lithium
cell, which is available from TyrePal Ltd.
6. TESTING THE SETUP
To test the system, position the monitor in the driver’s cab and, using there supplied
wrench, unscrew the furthest sensor. The system should produce an alert for that tyre
position. Tighten the sensor and the alert should stop.
If the alert is not given, the sensor may be out of range. The sensors have a transmission
range of about 20 metres in open air, but in practice, screening by the vehicle chassis and
bodywork reduce the working distance to about 7 metres. This can be increased by using
the optional Smart Transceiver.
