I. INTRODUCTION
The DORAN 360HD is a real-time, wireless, electronic tire pressure monitoring system
designed for heavy duty trucks. The DORAN 360HD can monitor pressures from 10 to 188 psi
and is capable of displaying current tire pressures, whether the vehicle is moving or stationary.
Although the 360HD will not prevent tires from losing pressure or failing, low pressure is the
leading cause of premature tire failure. Additionally, the DORAN 360HD has a built in high
temperature alarm, activated at 175°F, that can provide excessive heat warnings which can
identify other potential wheel problems. The 360HD can be used on all pneumatic tires and can
provide an early notification of potential problems and assist with proper tire pressurization
maintenance.
The DORAN 360HD System consists of two basic components: Valve Stem Tire Sensors and
a Monitor. The wireless sensors transmit coded RF signals to the monitor.
The monitor will then interpret the data, display current tire pressure readings, and alert the
driver with audible and visual feedback if there is a pressure drop or excessive heat. The
system will provide pressure alerts at 2 levels: 12.5% below baseline pressure and greater
than 25% below baseline pressure. The high temperature alarm is activated at temperatures of
175°F and above. When used properly, the DORAN 360HD will inform the driver of tire
pressure or temperature issues so the operator has the opportunity to make necessary
adjustments before a serious problem occurs.
Tires and valve stems should be inspected thoroughly prior to installation of the DORAN
360HD System to ensure that they are in good condition. It is not uncommon to find valve
stems that need replacing or low tire inflation when installing the DORAN 360HD system.
DORAN recommends that rubber valve stems be replaced with brass or stainless steel stems
as some rubber stems have been found to be inferior and can cause premature failure.
Regular tire and valve stem visual inspections are recommended. A damaged sensor,
tire, or valve stem can cause pressure loss. Inspect regularly. If faults are repeatedly
observed, discontinue use of the system and contact DORAN Mfg. Toll Free 1-866-816-
7233.
The 360HD cannot prevent tire/wheel overload. Overloading any tire is extremely
dangerous and can cause the failure of any suspension component, not just tires! The only
way to detect overloading is to weigh the vehicle. A vehicle should never be operated if the
weight on any wheel is greater than the design specification. Even a correctly inflated tire can
fail if overloaded.
Tires can fail for other reasons besides low pressure or overloading. Stay alert and watch
for other tire problems that may be indicated by unusual noises, vibrations, uneven tread wear,
or bulges on the tire. If any of these symptoms occur, have the tires checked immediately by a
professional!

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Normal Mode: When the monitor is monitoring all programmed sensors and there are not
any faults, the monitor will display a Green Means Good™ indicator light and the display will
show “on” (Black box products don’t have the Green Means Good™ indicator light).
Alert Mode: When the monitor has received a signal that is outside of the parameters of the
“Normal Operation” an alert will be displayed with icons describing the fault along with an
audible beeping sound (Audible alarm is not available on the “black box” products). Pressing
the Set or Program buttons can turn off the audible alarm.
Baseline Air Pressure: The normal operating pressure setting that is programmed into the
monitor for each tire position. The monitor will calculate all alarms from this setting. The
baseline pressure should ALWAYS be set when tires are at ambient temperature as
temperatures directly affect pressure levels.
RF: The term used to identify Radio Frequency signals.

II. SETUP AND INSTALLATION
DORAN suggests that all users install a remote antenna to receive maximum performance
from the system
1. INSTALLING THE MONITOR
The 360HD (Standard display) comes with a hook and loop mounting option. Other
mounting options include: sun visor mount, windshield mount, dash mount, and
pedestal mount. If you are using the hook and loop pads, clean all mounting surfaces
thoroughly with alcohol to remove any grease, dust, or oils that could prevent proper
adhesion. Choose the monitor back panel which
will work best for the mounting configuration
and remove the appropriate breakaway tab to
allow the cord to exit in the desired direction.
(see Figure 1-1).
In order for the monitor to operate as intended, all monitor connections should be
hard wired from the monitor to the vehicle’s electrical system. There are three wires
in the monitor harness. Red is 12/24-volt positive constant connection. This should
be connected to a 12/24-volt power source that is always “On”. The Blue wire is the
“Switched” 12/24-volt positive connection or “Ignition”. This wire should only be “On”
when the key is in the “On” position. The BLACK wire is to be connected to ground.
These connections will allow the monitor to receive signals when the vehicle is not
running and update the monitor in real time. When “Ignition” is turned on, you will
have the most up to date information for all tire conditions before the next trip is
started.
The monitor is fused internally, however some installers would still prefer to
install an inline fuse for precautions. We suggest an optional 2-amp slow blow fuse
be used for this purpose.

2. PROGRAMMING THE MONITOR
In order for the monitor to report tire information the user, sensor serial numbers
and baseline pressures for each tire location need to be programmed. This is done
by following the steps below. Note, “black box” products do not have an audible
alarm or feedback.
Do not install sensors until all programming is completed and the monitor is
returned to the normal operation mode.
A. PROGRAMMING THE SENSOR LOCATION
1) Ensure that the power is on. Upon first power up, the display will show “ n SP which
stands for “No Sensors Programmed”. Note that this message can also appear if
programmed sensors have not transmitted to the monitor. It could take up to 8
minutes for all sensors to transmit their information. The Programming mode will
need to be accessed to add sensors to the monitor. Be sure to leave the sensors off
the valve stems until the programming is completed to facilitate the process.
2) Press and hold the “P” button for approximately 5
seconds. When the monitor screen displays the
program mode, the “P” button can be released. All
available tire positions will now be displayed on the
screen. See Figure 2-1. The monitor can be set up to
display a motor home pulling a car or trailer, or a car /
truck pulling a trailer.
“P” is used to enter the program
modes. Also used to silence alarms.
“S” is used to lock in selections
during programming. Used to turn
on and off the backlight.
(4) Arrow buttons are used to
navigate the screen and select
values in the program mode

3) Be sure to properly program sensors to the desired positions.
Use the diagram in Figure 2-3 to record the three digit serial
numbers (See Figure 2-2 for the three digit number location)
and corresponding tire positions for programming.
4) Select the desired tire position using the arrow
buttons. Hold down the “S” button until the first of the
three dashes begins to blink (See Figure 2-4).
5) Input the three digit sensor serial number located on the sensor using the “Up” and
“Down” arrows to adjust the numeric value and the “Left” and “Right” arrows to
change the digit being adjusted (See Figure 2-2 for
the three digit number location). Once the serial
number is entered, press and hold the “S” button
for 3 Seconds until the number flashes and audible
beeps are heard. See Figures 2-5, 2-6, and 2-6a.

6) Once the tire serial number has been programmed successfully, a new position will
be highlighted to input another sensor serial number. Continue to program the
remaining sensors by repeating the above steps 4 and 5.
7) Once all sensors have been programmed, press the “P” button momentarily to
move to the Baseline Pressure Settings. The monitor will now display the screen
shown in Figure 2-7. Note, press and hold “P” for 5 seconds to exit programming
mode and return to normal operating mode at any time.
B. BASELINE PRESSURE PROGRAMMING
NOTE: To enter into Baseline Pressure Programming
Mode from the Normal Operation Screen, press and hold
the “P” button for 5 seconds until the “PROGRAM”
screen is displayed. Then press the “P” button once to
access the Baseline Pressure Programming screen
“PRESSURE PSI PROGRAM” (See Figure 2-7).
The baseline pressure has been set in the factory at 100-psi for all wheel positions.
DORAN recommends that all baseline pressures are set to the same pressure
levels recommended by the tire manufacturer. If baseline pressures need to be
changed, or a new sensor is programmed, then follow the procedure below. Otherwise,
press “P” once to proceed to Date and Time Settings.

The monitor should now be displaying the wheel
positions available for Baseline Pressure adjustment
(See Figure 2-8). The text on the screen will contain
different units of measure (PSI, Bar, or kPa) depending
on which pressure unit is selected in the settings of the
monitor. The Baseline Pressure may be set anywhere
from 10 to 188 PSI. Each wheel position can be set with a
different Baseline Pressure if needed.
1) Using the same controls as sensor serial number programming, use the arrow
buttons navigate to the desired tire position. Press and hold the “S” button for 3
seconds. This will cause the first dash or number to blink (See Figure 2-9). Use the
“Up” and “Down” arrows to adjust the numeric value and the “Left” and “Right”
arrows to change the digit being adjusted. Once the
Baseline Pressure has been set, press and hold the
“S” button for 3 Seconds until the number flashes
twice and audible beeps are heard. (Audible alarm is
not available on the “black box” products)
2) For values less than 100, the first digit will need to be 0 followed by the two digit
Baseline Pressure value. Example: For a Baseline Pressure of 95 PSI, the value
would be entered as “095”.
3) If additional Baseline Pressures need changed, use the arrow keys to navigate to
the next position to be programming and repeat step 1. If all Baseline Pressure
have been set, press “P” once to move to the Date and Time Settings. Note, press
and hold “P” for 5 seconds to exit programming mode and return to normal
operating mode at any time.
4) To set the a global Baseline Pressure, press and hold “S” on any tire position, enter
in the desired global Baseline Pressure, and press “S” and “P” simultaneously for 3
seconds.
