2Permit List Upload
Before the Mini Analyser can be used it is a requirement that a permit list be loaded into the unit. bf1systems provide a permit list
whenever new wheel electronics are supplied. A permit list is transferred to the Mini Analyser using the PC DigiTyre utility in the
same manner for sending permit lists to the TPMS ECU on the car.
To connect the Mini Analyser to the PC software (DigiTyre Utility) follow the steps below:
Physically, connect the unit to the PC via an RS-232 cable
Power it on using the Action Key (see 2.3.1)
Run the DigiTyre utility. The Mini Analyser should be automatically connect via Comm Port 1. The software will notifiy the
user that the System is “Live” (see below).
The Mini Analyser will only recognise and display sensors contained within the loaded permit list. The use of permit lists prevents
other system owners interrogating sensors not belonging to them.
To load a permit list into the Mini Analyser, it should be connected to the PC. Using the < Update Permit List> page of the DigiTyre
utility the permit file (.pmt) is written to the analyser using the < Update TPMS> button at the bottom of the page.

Part 2 – User Guide
1Introduction
The Mini Analyser is an integral part of the bf1systems Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). The unit is designed to allow the
user to test the functionality of individual wheel electronics, and to provide a convenient method for the generation of tyre set and
position information.
1.1 System Components
The Mini Analyser is a hand held unit composed of the following parts:
20 character x 4 line dot-matrix display with backlight and contrast control
Custom membrane keypad
433MHz or 315MHz RF receiver (Depending on the product version)
125kHz LF transmitter
Configurable LED/Buzzer for confirmation of LF Transmission & RF Reception
External stub antenna, connected via RP-SMA socket
Internal battery (PP3/6LR61 size)
1.2 Wheel Electronics
The wheel sensor is the main TPMS data source, providing pressure and temperature data to the TPMS ECU via a RF link. Depending
on the application, one or more sensors are fitted within the wheel/tyre assembly. The sensor consists of a battery, microprocessor,
RF transmitter, LF receiver, absolute pressure sensor, temperature sensor and a g-sensor.
The microprocessor contains bf1systems custom code to collect raw data from the sensors, scale and format the data and pass it to
the RF transmitter for communication to the TPMS ECU. The LF receiver section allows the wheel electronic to respond to external
commands issued by the TPMS ECU or Mini Analyser.
The pseudo state diagram below shows the basic operating modes of the wheel electronic:
A more detailed description of the above diagram is presented in the following sections.

1.2.1 Quiet Mode (1e)
When delivered all sensors are in Quiet Mode (1e). In this mode the sensor measures pressure at a periodic interval. Typically, this is
set to give a measurement interval of 60 seconds. In mode 1e the sensor does not transmit RF datagrams.
When in Quiet Mode (1e) the sensors will respond only to LF codes 3 & 7.
1.2.2 Stationary Mode (1a)
When the sensor measures the pressure to be above 1.15 Bars Absolute, it immediately enters Stationary Mode (1a). In this mode
the sensor measures and transmits RF datagrams at a periodic rate. Typically, this is set to provide a transmission interval of 30
seconds.
In Stationary Mode (1a) the sensor monitors the accelerometer at 3 second intervals in order to check for wheel rotation. The
accelerometer is a low-resolution sensor that is used for the detection of wheel rotation only.
When in Mode (1a) the sensor will respond to all LF codes.
1.2.3 Moving Mode (1b)
When wheel rotation is detected via the accelerometer the sensor enters Moving Mode (1b). In this mode the sensor transmits RF
datagrams at a periodic rate, typically 1Hz.
The sensor will remain in Moving Mode (1b) until a period of no wheel rotation has been detected using the accelerometer. After a
prescribed period of no wheel motion, the sensor will transition to Stationary Mode (1a).
When in Mode (1b) the sensor will respond to all LF codes.
1.2.4 Stationary Entry Mode (3)
When the wheel sensor detects it has stopped rotating, it enters mode 3 where it will transmit 5 datagrams at 1Hz, while monitoring
the accelerometer at 1Hz in case the vehicle begins to move again, with the sensor state showing as being stationary. After this the
sensor enters Stationary Mode (1a).
1.2.5 Fast Transmission Mode (2a)
If the wheel sensor detects a pressure change rate (positive or negative) of greater than 200mbar/minute the sensor will enter this
mode where it transmits 255 datagrams at 1Hz and then returns to its previous state.
This mode exists to allow an engineer to accurately monitor a tyre pressure during inflation or deflation.
1.3 Low Frequency Triggering (LF)
The LF circuitry within the wheel sensor permits the execution of external commands sent via the TPMS ECU or a Mini Analyser. In
order to ensure correct operation of the LF triggering a number of important rules must be observed.
The Mini Analyser should be positioned as close as possible to the wheel sensor under test. The LF transmission
has a very short range (30cm).
Ensure any other wheel sensors are at least 1.5m from the sensor under test.
Ensure that the correct LF code is transmitted to the sensor under test. (See 2.6.1.1)

2General Operation
To connect the Mini Analyser to the PC software (DigiTyre Utility) follow the steps below:
Physically, connect the unit to the PC via an RS-232 cable
Power it on using the Action Key (see 2.3.1)
Run the DigiTyre utility. The Mini Analyser should be automatically connected via Comm Port 1. Also the software notifies
the user that the System is “Live” (see screenshot below).
2.1 Permit List
Before the Mini Analyser can be used it is a requirement that a permit list be loaded into the unit. bf1systems provide a permit list
whenever new wheel electronics are supplied. A permit list is transferred to the Mini Analyser using the PC DigiTyre utility in the
same manner for sending permit lists to the TPMS ECU on the car.
The Mini Analyser will only recognise and display sensors contained within the loaded permit list. The use of permit lists prevents
other system owners interrogating sensors not belonging to them.
To load a permit list into the Mini Analyser, it should be connected to the PC. Using the < Update Permit List> page of the DigiTyre
utility the permit file (.pmt) is written to the analyser using the < Update TPMS> button at the bottom of the page.
Where ever possible bf1systems load a customer’s latest permit list prior to delivering a new Mini Analyser.

2.2 Position File
Before a Mini Analyser generated .pos file is downloaded to the TPMS ECU it should be checked that the ECU contains the same
permit list (.pmt file). This will ensure that all sensors contained within the generated .pos file exist within the TPMS ECU permit list.
Once position / set data has been generated within the Mini Analyser it is necessary to upload the data to the PC, before transferring
it to the TPMS ECU, by downloading the created .pos file. Generation of position files within the Mini Analyser is described in section
2.6.
To upload the position file from the Mini Analyser it should be connected to the PC via an RS-232 cable. Using the
< Position Sensors> page of the DigiTyre utility the position file (.pos) is read from the analyser using the < Read From TPMS> button.
The created position data will appear in the relevant boxes, as shown above. The data should then be stored to disk using the < Save
File> button. The Mini Analyser can now be disconnected from the PC.
To transfer the newly created position data to the TPMS ECU, the ECU should be connected to the PC and the < Update TPMS>
button pressed. The TPMS ECU will now contain the newly generated position file and the system is ready to run.

2.6.4 Compensated Pressure Display
The compensated pressure display provides the pressure value corrected for the difference in sensor temperature from the
reference temperature. The reference temperature can be set either via the < Setup Reference Settings> page (see 2.7.4), or via the <
Compensated Pressure - LF Setup> page. This display page also provides a facility to transmit selected LF codes and the means of
allocating position and set data (see 2.6.5).
Pressing the Action Key will cause the Mini Analyser to transmit the configured LF code. The LF settings are configured via the <LF
Setup> page. To enter the <LF Setup> page, hold down the <Down> Navigation Key.
Pressing the <Down> button whilst in the <Compensated Pressure Display> page will move to the <Tyre Set Pressure / Temperature
Display> page. Pressing the <Up> button whilst in the <Compensated Pressure Display> page will move to the < Individual Sensor
Display Page 3> page.
