PUR-TPMS
The system consists of PUR-TPMS Scan Tool and PUR-TPMS
Sensors. The sensors can be programmed for compatibility with a wide
range of vehicles that are equipped with factory TPMS.
PUR-TPMS Sensors are universal in application and replace most factory
O.E. sensors. The PUR-TPMS Sensors are not compatible with aftermarket
TPMS. The PUR-TPMS Scan Tool is not compatible with retro-fitted
TPMS and will not scan aftermarket retro-fitted sensors. The protocols
for different makes of vehicles can be programmed into the PUR-TPMS
Sensors which will be recognized by the vehicle’s receiver.
FCC Notice
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference.
2. This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for
a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This device generates, uses,
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation.
If this device causes harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on,
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more
of the factoring measures:
· Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
· Increase the separation distance between the device and receiver.
· Connect the device into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
Section 1: Introduction

Caution
Any changes or modifications in construction of this device which are not
expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void
the user’s authority to operate the device.
To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, this device
and its antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with
any other antenna or transmitter.
Scope of Use and Warnings
This PUR-TPMS Sensor is a sensing device designed to measure and
display tire operation and/or to alert the driver when air pressure and
temperature irregularities are detected. It is the responsibility of the driver
to react promptly. Abnormal tire inflation pressure should be corrected at
the earliest time possible.
System Installation and Usage
Programming the sensor requires a qualified technician who has been
trained to operate the PUR-TPMS Scan Tool. The sensor can be
programmed only with the PUR-TPMS Scan Tool. It cannot be
programmed with any other tools.
Installation of the sensor onto the wheel must be done by professional
technicians who have been trained to install TPMS sensors.
Reacting to Alerts
When an alert or warning is displayed or sounded, reduce vehicle’s
speed and proceed slowly to a safe location to have the tire inspected
and serviced.
The low/high pressure alert indicates the tire pressure is not within the
factory’s set limits and the high temperature alert indicates that the tire’s
temperature has surpassed the factory’s set limits.
Use of Chemicals
During tire inflation, any use of internal sealants and propellants may
affect the operation of the sensor/transmitter. The use of such chemicals
is not recommended and the product’s warranty will be void if the sensor
comes in contact with them.

Section 4: Programming Instructions

PUR-TPMS Programming Function Menu
Three choices for sensor functions:
1.Scan
Used when scanning O.E. or
programmed CUB sensors.
The function is also used when
activating the sensor for certain
vehicle’s registration procedures.
2. Copy Sensor
Used to clone an existing O.E./
CUB sensor into CUB’s new
sensor. The advantage of this is
to replace the sensor directly
without having to perform the
registration procedure.
3. Program Sensor
Used to program a new ID into
CUB’s new sensor. During the
creation of every new ID, each
ID will be unique and used
only once.

Instructions for the three Programming Function Menu choices
explained previously on page 9:
If the scanning process works, you
will see the screen shown below to
the right with the sensor information
shown; or if nothing is detected, it will
exit to the previous screen.
The same procedure can be followed
when scanning a programmed CUB
sensor, as long as the make, model
and year is known.
1. Scan
(For example: To scan a Cadillac
Escalade O.E. sensor.)
Put the O.E. sensor at the top of
tool, select Search Sensor ID
and press Enter.
Select Scan and press Enter.

Section 5: Programming Function Menu

Follow the pictures below to ensure you are correctly using the
tool. Pay attention to the correct direction and position when
triggering the sensor in the tire.
Section 5: Programming Function Menu
©2008 TR 800-445-0179 11

Make sure the tool is close to the valve, and the front end of the
tool leans on the tire, but not the wheel.

2. Copy Sensor
Select Copy Sensor and you will see two choices:
2a. Search Sensor ID
This function is used when you
would like to clone an existing
O.E. or CUB sensor. This is useful
when an end user has two sets
of wheels/tires. The user will be
able to have two identical sets of
sensors, eliminating the need for
a registration procedure to
be done every time a wheel
swap has occurred. This function
is also beneficial when a sensor
has been physically damaged,
but still electronically functions.
That ID code can be transferred
into the new programmed CUB
sensor and installed without
having to follow the registration
procedure which may sometimes
be time consuming.
2b. Input ID
This function allows the user
to manually enter an existing
sensor’s ID code in case the
original sensor’s electronics
had been damaged.

Detailed Instructions for the Copy Sensor (Page 13)
When the screen shown below to the
right is displayed, two beep tones will
sound to confirm the sensor has been
successfully detected and the ID will
be shown on the screen. Press Enter
(as instructed on the screen) to
program the ID into CUB’s sensor.
To do this, put the CUB sensor at
the top of the tool and press Enter.
Important Notice:
Please put other sensors at least 15 feet
away or there might be some interference
and the incorrect sensor may be programmed.
2a. Search Sensor ID
Put the O.E. sensor at the top of tool,
select Search Sensor ID and
press Enter.
Section 5: Programming Function Menu
14 800-445-0179 ©2008 TR

The screen shown here will be
displayed while programming.
When the screen shown below to the
right appears and two beep tones
are heard, the process has been
performed successfully.
To double check if this is indeed what
you need, press Esc to go back to
the operation menu and scan the
sensor again. Check the ID numbers
and relative information to see if the
ID is correct. If not, repeat
process previously explained
on page 10.
Detailed instructions for the Copy Sensor Input ID (2b)
continued next page.
Section 5: Programming Function Menu

2b. Input ID
Manual ID input is shown here.
Press Up or Down to select, press
Esc to cancel, and press Enter to
select numbers or letters. Different
ID digital rules are set to different type
of sensors depending on the make,
model and year of vehicle. Therefore,
the ID setup processes are different,
too. Specific operating processes
are determined on the screen. After
the correct ID numbers are entered,
Screen 1 will be displayed.
When you see Screen 2, you can
proceed with sensor programming.
Place the CUB PUR-TPMS Sensor at
the top of the tool and press Enter.
Important Notice:
Please put other sensors at least 15 feet
away or there might be some interference
and the incorrect sensor may be programmed.
When “Program Succeed...” is
displayed on the screen and two
beep tones are heard, the sensor has
been programmed successfully.
Just as mentioned on page 15, you
can go back to the Scan function
menu to double check if the ID
downloaded is correct.

3. Program Sensor
Put the sensor at the top of the tool
for further programming steps. Select
Program Sensor by pressing Enter
and you will see Screen 1.
If the sensor is successfully
programmed, you will see Screen 2
and hear two beep tones.
After the programming process is
done, fit CUB’s new sensors into
the wheels and you can perform the
vehicle’s sensor registration procedure.
Refer to the vehicle’s owner’s manual
for the registration procedure.
Important Notice:
During programming and resetting, keep
other sensors at least 15 feet away from
each other to eliminate any interference.
