TMPS Handset Functionality –overview
The TPMS handset is used for direct reading of sensor parameters such as pressure, temperature
and battery voltage. It can also be used to program or modify the sensor parameters such as the
team code and wheel location. It is also a valuable tool for recognising any changes to new sensor
positions when swapping wheels and updating the receiver accordingly.

Powering up and battery information
The handset is powered up using the red ‘power’button [1].
Handset battery level is indicated in the top right hand corner when the handset is powered up [2].
The device is charged using a standard micro-USB charging cable via the port at the base of the unit
[3]. A charging cable is provided with the handset.
Backlight
The backlight can be toggled on and off using a short press of the TX button [4].
•The handset must be out of ‘read’and ‘programming (TX)’modes to operate the backlight.
Press the white button top right [5] if ‘exit’is displayed above it to exit either mode.
Reading sensor information
The following parameters can be viewed:
•Sensor serial number
•Sensor battery voltage
•Tyre pressure (0.1 bar intervals)
•Temperature
Sensor information is read by entering ‘read’mode.
•‘Read’mode is activated using the white button top right of the handset [5] (when ‘Read’is
indicated on the display above it.)
•Pressing the same button [5] when ‘Exit’is displayed above it exits ‘Read’mode.
•The user must be adjacent to sensor to enable the sensor to be read.
•To read data for the next sensor, the user must move adjacent to next sensor and press the
white button below ‘Next’on the display [6].

The example below shows the sensor serial number for the team code AA79 and 02 for the front
right sensor location.
NOTE: When sensors are read they transmit the current parameter values to the receiver. These
values are also outputted on the CAN line. If these updated values are not transmitted on the CAN
line therefore not received this indicates that the receiver is out of the reception range of the
sensor. This may indicate the receiver has not been installed in a suitable location.
IMPORTANT NOTE
The TPMS kits are supplied with 4 sensors with unique serial numbers that identify the corner
location on the car and also the team code. These sensors have also been allocated to the correct
location of the receiver.
The corner positions are numbered 1, 2, 3 & 4 shown below.
Front left sensor…. 01
Front right sensor. 02
Rear left sensor….. 03
Rear right sensor.. 04

Automatic Assignment of Sensor Location (AASL)
When sensors are relocated to a different position on the car, you can automatically reassign them to their
new position using the TPMS handset ‘Read’ function. For example, if the front wheels are swapped this
operation enables you to reallocate the sensor data in the receiver so that the values for the front left sensor
are now transmitted on the CAN ID for the front right. Consequently, the sensor data that is viewed on the
dashboard and logged is correct and will appear as the front right. Any sensor can be allocated to any of the
4 corner locations. The 4 sensors must have different serial numbers.
AASL function is enabled as follows:
•Press and hold the receiver button until it flashes twice then release. This puts the receiver into learn
mode where the 4 sensor locations are waiting for sensors to be assigned.
•Using the TPMS handset ‘Read’ function activate all 4 sensors in the correct order (FL,FR,RL then RR.)
The receiver LED will flash a number of times in quick succession as each sensor is allocated
correctly. A display of the sensor serial number on the TPMS handset does not guarantee it has also
been allocated a position within the receiver.
•Once a sensor serial number has been allocated to the first position (FL) the receiver is now ready to
accept the next sensor to be assigned as a (FR) then the (RL) and the (RR) As the receiver learns each
sensor serial number it will not allow it to be repeated in the next position.
•Finally press and hold the receiver button until it flashes 4 times to indicate the AASL is completed.
.
NOTES:
•The AASL operation does not change the sensor serial number only the revised allocation in the
receiver.
•The receiver will not function correctly if you exit from the AASL without allocating sensors to all 4
positions. When in normal operating mode any sensor that is read will activate the LED.
•In the event the TPMS handset is not available, the sensor allocation can also be achieved by
changing the tyre pressures. (the AASL function must be enabled.) You must avoid changing tyre
pressures on wheels that contain sensors and are within the reception range of the receiver.
•During the sensor allocation phase you can ‘Read’ each sensor more than once if you are uncertain if
the receiver has acknowledged the reception.

Modifying sensor serial numbers
Spare sensors can be programmed with any of the serial numbers that have been allocated to a
receiver.
To enter the sensor modification menu press and hold the ‘TX’ button [4] for 3 seconds. The
following screen will appear:
•The ‘L’ and ‘R’ buttons ([7] & [8] respectively) will move the cursor through hex digits serially
from D1 to D6.
•The ‘U’ and ‘D’ buttons ([9] & [10] respectively) increase or decrease the hex digits at the
selected cursor location.
NOTES
•The sensor serial number must be entered into positions D2 to D5
•The first position D1 must be set to 13H
•Position D6 is not used

The example below is for team code AA79 and 01 for the front right sensor location.
Use the ‘TX’ key [4] to write the new ID into the sensor. The new serial number will be displayed.
•The user must be adjacent to a sensor to enable the sensor to be modified.
•To modify the serial number of the next sensor, move adjacent to next sensor and press the
white button below “next” on the display [6].
•The sensor corner location is duplicated at the bottom of the screen.
Further verification of the sensor serial numbers can then be achieved by exiting the modification
mode (button [5] when “exit” is displayed above it) and reading sensor information using the
“Read” mode as described in “reading sensor information” above (button [5] when “Read” is
displayed above it).

Swapping the sensor IDs of two unmounted wheels
The example below describes the process to reidentify a front left sensor to a front right sensor and
vice-versa. This process does not require connection to the car receiver.
You enter the serial number for the for the front left and transmit this to the front right sensor.
The screen will display the following to confirm the reprogramming has been successful.

Then change allocation number in ‘D5’on the TPMS handtool from the front right sensor (02) to
(01) and transmit this to the new front left sensor.
Press the ‘EXIT’ key [5] then press the ‘L’ key [5] 3 times to move the curser under the number ‘1’
then press the ‘U’ button [9] to change the number from ‘1’ to ‘2’ and finally transmit the new
sensor serial number using the ‘TX’ button [4].
The screen will display the following to confirm the reprogramming has been successful.
