PRECAUTIONS
1. Make sure the LCD receiver/monitor can receive signals from all of the tire pressure sensors.
2. TireGard™ Trike WTPMS has a unique anti-theft device to prevent the sensors from being stolen.
3. Please confirm that all sensors are fitted tightly. If necessary, spread detergent water on the valve
stem to check for any air leakage. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN SENSORS.
4. If tire pressure is low or dropping quickly, stop the trike immediately determine the problem.
5. The monitor will automatically make a connection with the sensors. It is normal that tire pressure
figures might not be updated immediately due to changes of tire pressure.
6. TireGard™ Trike WTPMS is designed to avoid interfering or being interfered with by other signals.
7. Many environmental factors can cause tire temperature rise or fall. For example, hot weather or a
warm tire will result in rising tire pressures.
8. The LCD Receiver/Monitor is NOT waterproof. If the LCD Receiver/Monitor accidentally gets wet,
don’t “power on” the system until it is completely dried.
TireGard™ Trike FEATURES & BENEFITS
The TireGard™ Trike Wireless Tire Pressure Monitoring System (WTPMS) is a powerful and
effective tool for maximizing safety, increasing fuel economy, improving vehicle handling, and reducing
operating cost. Through its wireless technology, tire pressure and temperature information is displayed
instantly on the easy to read Graphic User Interface (LCD Receiver/Monitor) in real time.
Do It Yourself (D.I.Y.) installation is quick and easy without any technical knowledge or special
equipment.
Wireless technology allows the Sensor and Monitor to connect automatically.
Real-time highly accurate sensor and monitor with powerful Graphical User Interface.
Fully adjustable pressure and temperature warning range with vibration and/or audible tone which
immediately alerts operator through the LCD Monitor of abnormal tire pressure or temperature.
Anti-Theft Ring to prevent removal of sensor.
Sensors and Monitor are battery powered with a low battery indicator on the LCD monitor which
will instantly alert rider of batter power status.

1. Setup of LCD Receiver/Monitor
Insert Battery:
A. One AAA battery is required.
B. To remove battery cover and follow the directions A and B on the picture shown
below.
C. Insert AAA battery properly.
D. After battery is inserted, the LCD Receiver/Monitor will issue a beep as it
automatically powers up.
E. Reinstall the battery cover onto LCD Receiver/Monitor.

2. Installation of the Front and Rear Sensors
Each sensor is designed specifically for the front and rear tires, you have to make sure they are
installed in their specified positions. When inserting the batteries into the sensors, do not mix up the
Front and Rear sensor caps. Each sensor is marked on its cap and within its body indicating its position
on the motorcycle.
Insert Batteries in Sensors
Battery installation for tire pressure sensor
A. Remove sensor cap by rotating counter-clockwise.
B. When inserting lithium battery make sure battery polarity is correct.
Immediately the LCD Receiver/Monitor will receive signals from the corresponding sensors and report
the pressure value on the screen. At first, you will find the value shows “00.0”. It is because sensors have
not been mounted yet.
7

Note: After removing the battery, you will need to let the system reset. Please allow it to sit for 10
seconds before inserting the battery again.
A. Install sensor cap by rotating clockwise.
Please ensure the sensors are in the correct (1, 2, or 3) position. Don’t mix up sensor caps. Both sensor
cap and sensor body have reference marks indicating position.
(1, 2, or 3) for example

Anti –Theft Ring for Sensors: (installation is optional)
Anti –Theft ring is designed to prevent the possibility of sensors being easily stolen.
A. Place the Anti-Theft Ring onto the valve stem.
B. Install sensor onto valve stem. Don’t over tighten the sensor as it may become damaged.
C. Adjust the Anti-Theft Ring position to seat it with the sensor firmly in place.
D. Insert the hex socket screw into the Anti-Theft Ring.
(Don’t exert excessive pressure or damage to the valve may occur.)
E. When all of the tire pressure sensors are installed, check for air leaks using detergent water.
(Spread detergent water on the valve stem and watch for bubbles.) If the tire pressure sensors
and tire valves are properly fitted no air will be leaking from the system.

2. Advanced setting mode
Press for 3 seconds to enter advanced setting mode.
Make your choices by pressing and these will adjust values up or down.

A. Set tire pressure measuring: Four types of pressure measuring units are available; PSI, KPA, BAR
and ... Users can make their own choices by pressing the thermometer button and the
star button .
B. Set tire temperature measuring: Adjust setting by pressing the thermometer button and star button
for adjusting up or down. Celsius and Fahrenheit are provided.
C. Setting low tire pressure: Adjust setting by pressing the thermometer button and star button for
adjusting up or down. The default value is 26 P.S.I.
D. Setting high tire pressure: Adjust setting pressing the thermometer button and star button for
adjusting up or down. The default value is 45 P.S.I.
E. Setting tire upper temperature warning value: Adjust setting pressing the thermometer button and
star button for adjusting up or down.
F. Setting tire low pressure: Adjust setting pressing the thermometer button and star button for
adjusting up or down.
Sensor learning mode
In the unlikelihood the sensor is broken or missing, the sensor learning mode provides a low cost
alternative to replace damaged or lost sensors. These ‘learnable sensors’ are available separately. The
LCD receiver/monitor can reload new sensors and the system will integrate this sensor information into
its system and will overwrite the replaced sensors information. Pressing the power switch and the SET
button at the same time for 3 seconds will activate the systems ‘learning mode’, and TireGard™ Trike
will start to recognize new sensors.

OPERATING PROCEEDURES
1. Initialization
Switch on LCD RECEIVER/monitor to boot up, LCD RECEIVER/monitor will be communicating with
sensors and showing the last tire pressure values before system was turned off.
2. Main Screen
After booting up, TireGard™ Trike will enter main screen mode. Most of time, your system will stay in
this mode and respond with the latest figures for both tire pressure and temperature. In this mode, you
will find the antenna icon will be flashing.
3. Automatic Power Off
A. After power on, if there is no signal from the sensors for 20 minutes the system will turn off.
B. The system will turn off if no signal is received for more than one hour after the last signal
update.
4. Abnormal StatusAlerts
The LCD receiver/monitor will beep and vibrate once in 10 seconds and repeat 5 times when:
A. Tire pressure is below low warning value.
B. Tire pressure is higher than upper warning value.
C. Tire temperature higher than upper warning value.
The LCD receiver/monitor will show low battery icon when:
D. LCD receiver/monitor runs out of power.
E. Tire pressure sensor runs out of power.
BATTERY INFORMATION
Under normal conditions, sensor batteries will last approximately 1~2 years. LCD Receiver/Monitor
battery will last approximately 6 months. (Service life may be shorter, depending on the conditions of use.)
When the battery becomes weak, the low battery indicator will appear on the screen. Replace the battery
with a new CR1632 lithium battery for the sensor or withAAA1.5V battery for the LCD
receiver/monitor.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The following checklist will help you remedy problems you may encounter with your unit. Before
going through the checklist below, check the connection and operating procedures.
1. Indications disappear from or do not appear in the display
a. Make sure power switch is on.
b. Make sure monitor has AAA battery properly installed observing correct polarity.
c. Use fresh batteries if necessary.
2. No connection between sensors and monitor and you find all tire pressure values are gone
(indicated by 3 dashes ‘---‘.)
a. Make sure sensor has CR1632 battery properly installed observing correct polarity.
b. Use fresh batteries if necessary.
3. Monitor display is getting dark.
a. When temperature is over 80° Celsius, it is natural that LCD screen will get dark. When
temperature is back to normal, LCD screen will revert back to its normal appearance.
b. When the temperature is below -20° Celsius, the response time of LCD screen will be
slower.
4. ‘Learning mode’can only accept ‘learnable sensors’not standard sensor.
