I. INTRODUCTION
The Doran 360RV is a full-time wireless electronic tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
designed to monitor and display tire pressures from 10 psi up to 188 psi. It is capable of
displaying current tire pressure on demand, whether moving or stationary. The 360RV is a
monitoring system and will not prevent tires from losing pressure or failing. However, low
pressure is the leading cause of premature tire failure and the 360RV can provide early notice of
potential problems and assist in maintaining proper pressurization in vehicle tires. The 360RV can
be used on all pneumatic tires.
The 360RV consists of two basic components: tire sensors which screw onto the valve stems of
tires, and a monitor. Sensors transmit a coded RF signal and alert if pressure drops. The monitor
displays each tire's pressure and an audible alert if tire pressures drop. During an alert, the low
tire location is displayed on the monitor, the monitor will display LOW PRESSURE , the current
pressure reading for that tire flashes, and an audible alert sounds. The system can alert at 2
levels: The first alert occurs when pressures drop more that 12.5%. A second more urgent alert
occurs if tire pressures drop more than 25%. As with many RF products, signal interruption can
occur and prevent a signal to reach the monitor. When used properly, the Doran 360RV will
inform the driver of the tire pressures on the vehicle so the operator has the opportunity to make
any necessary adjustments to the air pressure before a serious problem occurs.

Tires and valve stems should be inspected thoroughly prior to installation of the system to
ensure they are in good condition and inflated properly. It is not uncommon to find valve stems
that need replacing when installing the 360RV system. Doran recommends that rubber valve
stems be replaced with metal stems. Some rubber stems have been found to be inferior and
could fail prematurely.
A visual inspection of tires on a regular basis is recommended. The 360RV does not
prevent low tire pressure, it alerts when tire pressures are low, allowing action to be
taken. A damaged sensor or valve stem can cause pressure loss. Inspect regularly. If
repeated faults are observed, discontinue use of the system and contact Doran Mfg. at:
1-866-816-7233.
The 360RV 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.

I. INTRODUCTION

Tires can fail for other reasons besides low pressure or overloading. Always be on the alert
for any other tire problems as 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 monitor is monitoring all programmed sensors and there are not any faults,
the monitor will display a green light and the display will show ON .
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. Pressing the Set or Program buttons can turn off the audible alarm.
Baseline Air Pressure: This is the pressure that is programmed into the monitor to identify what
the pressure is to be in 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.
Ambient Temperature: This is the temperature of the outside air. Tires can heat up significantly
which will change the pressure in a tire. If pressures in the tires are set when the tire temperature
is elevated, it can cause the monitor to give alerts because when the tires cool the pressure will
drop and sometimes this will fall 12.5% below the baseline pressure.
RF: The term used to identify Radio Frequency signals.

II. SETUP AND INSTALLATION
1. Monitor Installation
The 360RV gives the user multiple options for mounting the monitor for viewing. You have the
option to place on the sun visor, attach to the windshield, fasten to the dash, attach using the
Figure 1-1
A. The convenient way to wire the monitor is to attach the accessory cigarette lighter
adapter on the power cord to the 12-volt power receptacle. This method is the quickest,
however it does not allow you to receive the full benefits of the Doran 360RV. Using the
accessory cigarette lighter adapter plug for your power source will delay information to
the monitor if the power is removed when the vehicle is turned off and the power is
removed from the receptacle. However, if the power remains on to capture warnings
that occur during the night hours,audible and visual alarms may activate,
d is ru pt in g yo ur s le ep .That is why we suggest that you use option B for wiring
your monitor.
B. In order to access the full benefits of the system you will need to hard wire the
monitor to the vehicles' electrical system. The cigarette power adapter will need to be
removed from the power cord and then you will see that there are three wires in the
harness (we suggest that you leave a few inches of wire on so you can use the plug at
a later date for something else). is the 12-volt positive constant connection. This
should be connected to a 12-volt power source that is always ON .The wire will
be the switched 12-volt positive connection. This wire should only be live when the
key is in the ON position. The BLACK wire is to be connected to a good ground.
This hookup will allow the monitor to receive signals when the vehicle is not running,
and update the monitor in real time. When the key is turned on you will have the
current information for your tire condition immediately before you begin your next trip.

pedestal mount, or the ability to use the hook and loop pads to
fasten the monitor to a flat surface. If you are using the hook
and loop pads, we suggest that the surfaces that you are
applying the pads to be cleaned with alcohol to remove any
grease or oils that could be present. Choose the monitor back
panel which will work best for your situation. Remove the
proper small breakaway tab to allow the power cord to exit
in the best direction for your setup (see Figure 1-1).

The monitor is fused internally, however some installers would still prefer to install
an inline fuse for precautions. We suggest an optional 2-amp fast blow fuse be used for
this purpose.
II. SETUP AND INSTALLATION
The first time the monitor is powered up the display will show NSP . This is saying that
there are No Sensors Programmed to the monitor. It could be that the sensors that
were programmed to the monitor have not reported in to the monitor in order to lock the
sensors into the memory. If this is the case it could take up to 6 minutes for this to
happen. If this is the first time you have attempted to install the system and the sensors
have not been programmed into the monitor, the system will need to be programmed per
the following section.
PROG Used to enter the program modes.
Also used to silence alarms.
SET 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
2. Programming the Monitor
For the monitor to function effortlessly, the user must install the correct data. The information
input to the monitor will allow the monitor to recognize the sensors and wheel positions as well as
the baseline pressures for all tires. This is done in the following steps.
Do not install sensors until all programming is completed and you have returned to the
normal operation mode.

5
II. SETUP AND INSTALLATION
A. Programming the SensorLocation
1. Be sure that the power is on. The first time the monitor is switched on; the display
should show NSP .This will signify that no sensor is programmed, or the monitor
has not received a new sensor signal yet. If this is the case it could take up to 6
minutes for the sensor to report in if it is already attached to the valve stem. You
will now need to enter into the programming mode if you need to add sensors to
the monitor. If you are entering new sensors into the monitor be sure to leave the
sensors off of the valve stems until the programming is complete.
2. Press and hold the PROG button for approximately 5
seconds, the monitor screen will automatically change
over to the program mode, and then you can release
the button. When you have entered this mode the
monitor will display all of the tire positions and the word
PROGRAM will be displayed (see Figure 2-1). As
you will see by 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.
3. Select a tire position using the arrow buttons and
input the 3-digit serial number located on the sensor into the monitor
(see Figure 2-2 for the three-digit number). The monitor will
automatically capture the serial number and information when air
pressure is supplied to the sensor for that wheel position and lock
it into the monitor. Be sure to keep the sensors identified as to which
wheel positions they belong so that you can attach the sensors to
their proper location for future reference. Use the diagram in Figure
2-3 to record the 3 digit numbers onto the wheel locations that you will
be selecting.
Figure 2-1
Figure 2-2
Figure 2-3

4. Using the arrow keys select the first tire position that you want to program. The
selected wheel location will be solid. The other wheel positions will only be an outline.
If sensors have already been programmed to the monitor, the only sensor locations that
will be displayed will be the ones that do not have a sensor already programmed to it.
When you have selected the position that you want to program a sensor to, press the
SET button for 3 seconds. This will cause the first dash (see Figure 2-4) of a three-digit
sensor number to blink that will need to be entered.
5. Using the up and down arrow buttons, change the
first digit to the first corresponding digit of the sensor
ID number that you want to program. When you
have selected the correct digit press the right arrow
button to move to the next digit in the display.
6. The center dash (-) of this digit will now blink (see
Figure 2-5). Use the up and down button to change
this digit to the number needed for the second digit of
the sensor. When you have selected the correct
number for the center section of this number press the
right arrow button so the remaining dash (-) begins to
flash of the three-digit number (see Figure 2-6).
7. Adjust this position with the up and down button until
you have the correct number displayed. Pressing the
right or left arrow button will allow you to change one
of the numbers that you have previously selected if
needed.
8. If you have the correct number displayed, press the
SET button for 3 seconds until the number flashes
twice and you hear a beep twice to signify that the
sensor ID number was successfully input to the
monitor (see Figure 2-6a).
9. A new position will be highlighted to input another
serial number. If you wish to program another sensor
repeat the above steps in Section A.

10. Once you have completed the sensor programming sequence for all tires, press the
PROG button momentarily to move to the next step, this will be the Base Line Pressure
Programming. The monitor will display as shown in Figure 2-7. If you are completely
done with all of the programming operations you can press the PROG button for 5
seconds and the monitor will return to the normal mode of operation. This can be done
at the end of any section of the program mode when the programming is completed.

the PROG momentarily.
The baseline pressure has been set in the factory at 100-psi for all wheel positions. We
recommend that you set the baseline pressure at the same pressure as your recommended
Manufacturers' Operating Tire Pressures for each vehicles tire being monitored. If you want
to change the baseline pressure, or a new sensor is programmed, then follow the procedure
below.
The monitor should now be displaying the wheel positions
available to program, the words PRESSURE, the unit of
measure (PSI, Bar, or kPa) and PROGRAM will be displayed as
well as the baseline pressure for the selected wheel position
(see Figure 2-7). The positions that already have sensors
programmed to the monitor will be highlighted at this time (see
Figure 2-8). You can program the air pressure from 5 PSI to
Figure 2-8

188 PSI,depending on your needs. Each wheel position can
be set with a different baseline air pressure if this is what is
needed. The monitor has been pre-programmed for 100 PSI at
each wheel position. If this is the baseline air pressure that
you need then you will not have to do anything in this mode
and can press the PROG button and go to the next step. If
you need to change the baseline air pressure for a wheel
position, continue with Steps 1-4 below:
Figure 2-9
1. Using the same procedure as done previously, use the arrow buttons to select a wheel
position and press the SET button for 3 seconds. This will cause the first dash or
number to blink (see Figure 2-9) of a three-digit baseline pressure number that will need
to be entered for the tire position selected.
2. The first digit of the three dashes will automatically start to flash. To adjust the air
pressure for the first digit press the up or down arrow button to change the number. For
a number less that 100 you will need to start your number with a 0. For the air pressure
of 95 PSI your imputed number for the baseline pressure would be imputed as 095 .
3. Press the left or right arrow button to select the next digit. Use the up and down arrow
buttons to change that digit. When you have entered the number that you want, press
the SET button for 3 seconds until the number flashes twice and a double beep is heard
to signify that the number has been locked into the monitor's memory.
4. A new position will be highlighted to input a baseline air pressure. If you wish to
program another sensor repeat the steps 1 thru 3. If you have completed the sensor
baseline air pressure programming sequence then you can press the PROG button
momentarily to move to the Time and Date -stamp setting mode. If you are done with
the programming operation you can press the PROG button for 5 seconds and the
monitor will automatically return to the normal mode of operation. This can be done in
any section of the program mode when the programming is completed.

II. SETUP AND INSTALLATION
III. INSTALLING THE SENSORS ON THE VEHICLE
The monitor should now be turned on and it should be in the normal operation mode.
It could take up to six (6) minutes for the monitor to receive the updated signal from the
sensors once the monitor has been activated if the monitor was powered down.
Be sure to inspect and replace any defective or cracked valve
stems before installing the sensors. If replacements are
necessary we suggest replacing the valve stems with a metal stem. It
does improve the life of the stem due to premature failure from drying
out and cracking. Inferior stems have been found in the market and
can cause extensive damage. The dill valve at each tire position should
now be checked to see if it is in the proper position to allow the sensors
to be activated by the air pressure from the tires. This can be done using
the enclosed Dill Pin Gauge (see Figure 3-1). When the gauge is used it
should depress the dill pin enough to allow air to escape the valve stem
(see Figure 3-2). If air does not escape from the valve stem, then you
must use a Valve stem tool to adjust the dill pin out far enough to allow
the dill pin tool to release air from the valve stem. This should not be
necessary with the Doran 360RV. The dill pin should not be extracted
to the point that air is released all the time from the valve stem. This
should be checked with a bit of soapy water if you do make an
adjustment to the dill valve and after the sensors have been installed.

Keep in mind that tire pressures will increase as you drive.
When tires are in motion, the sidewalls are under stress
carrying the load of the vehicle. This energy created by the
tires develops heat, which causes the air in the tires to expand.
This can cause air pressure to increase as much as 10 psi in
certain applications. This is normal, and the manufacturers'
recommended cold running pressures have already taken this into consideration. Always adjust
air pressure when tires are cold or ambient to the baseline pressures that were programmed into
the monitor for each wheel position. Cool temperatures and high altitudes can cause tires to lose
pressure. If a tire is close to its low-pressure level, an alert can be sounded when pressure drops
overnight due to cooler temperatures. Inflate to proper level in the morning. If sensors have not
been programmed to the monitor, or signals received by the monitor after first installed the screen
will display NSP (see Figure 3-3).
III. INSTALLING THE SENSORS ON THE VEHICLE
15
Figure 3-3
1. If the sensors have been programmed to the monitor you will now need to install the
sensors onto the proper wheel positions on the vehicle.
The sensor should be tightened only by hand, not with a tool. Use a firm grip
and tighten the sensor. Check for leaks with a soapy solution. The monitor will
begin to receive and recognize the sensors, and it will display the wheel positions as they
are received on the screen.
2. When all the sensors that have been programmed
to the monitor are received and within the baseline
air pressure parameters, the display will show all the
wheel positions that were programmed, the word
ON will be displayed, on the screen,
and the green LED light will come on (see Figure 3-
4). You are now ready to enjoy the safety and comfort of your new Doran 360RV Tire
Pressure Monitor System.
3. If any of the wheel positions are not within the baseline air pressures an alert will be
issued by the monitor and the air pressure reading will be shown for the affected tire
position and the monitor will show PRESSURE and whether it is a LOW or HIGH
warning. The audible alarm will be heard (see Section IV for further details about alarms).

4. If the monitor continues to search for a sensor after 10 minutes it is possible that the
sensor may not be programmed properly. Higher radio frequency (RF) transmissions
travel mostly via straight lines and along line-of-sight pathways. The 360RV sensors are
required to accomplish the difficult task of transmitting a low power FCC approved signal
from vehicles' tires to the monitor. If a sensor fails to be recognized, move the monitor
slightly. The vehicle could be in what is known as a Dead Zone this is where the
signal is not able to travel because of its surroundings (pole barn siding, metal fence,
side of a building). Moving the vehicle just a few feet can sometimes overcome this
problem. The sensor will need to be removed and re-installed to activate the sensor for
it to report quickly to the monitor. If you are using an optional signal booster kit,
reposition the booster for a possible better reception.
IV. ALARM MODES
An alert indicates that you are operating your vehicle in a dangerous condition.
When the low pressure light illuminates, STOP and check your tire(s) as soon as
safely possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure.
NOTE:
NOTE: The DORAN 360RV will illuminate a flashing low tire pressure warning light and an
audible alarm for three minutes when the inflation pressure in one or both tires is
equal to or less than 12.5 % below the programmed baseline air pressure. The
warning will continue to illuminate as long as the malfunction exists, whenever the
monitor is switched on.
The Doran 360RV has five types of alarm modes. The warning levels are:
12.5% below the programmed baseline air pressure for the first low-level alarm.
The next alarm level is 25% below the programmed baseline air pressure.
There is also a FAST LEAK warning when 2.8 PSI is lost from the tire in less than 12
seconds.
The optional HIGH PRESSURE warning can be selected when you program the
monitor. This alarm will react when the air pressure increases 25% above the
programmed baseline air pressure.
A LOST SENSOR alarm when the monitor does not receive the RF signal from the
sensor.

IV. ALARM MODES

1. FIRST STAGE ALARMFOR 12.5% LOWAIR PRESSURE:
On a first level low pressure alarm the monitor will
alarm at 12.5% below the programmed base line air
pressure. When this happens the backlight on the
monitor screen will light up. The green LED light will go
out, the Red warning light will begin to flash and the
audible beeper will cycle at 1 flash or beep per second,
the alarmed wheel position will be displayed. The
pressure of the low tire, and the words LOW
PRESSURE will be displayed on the monitor (see
Figure 4-1). Pressing any of the buttons or after 100
seconds the audible alarm will be silenced. The
monitor will continue to display the wheel position, air
pressure of the alarmed wheel position and the words
LOW PRESSURE until the problem is corrected. If
the alarm comes on and the FAST LEAK icon appears
(see Figure 4-2), this means the tire is loosing air at a
rate faster than 2.8 PSI in a 12 second period. The
FAST LEAK icon will only be displayed during the fast
leak and will go out after 18 seconds when the air
quits leaking from the tire. We suggest that the tire be
inspected immediately.

Figure 4-2
On a level 2 Low Pressure Alarm the monitor will alarm when the pressure has reached
25% below the programmed baseline air pressure. The National Highway and Traffic
Safety Administration considers a tire flat when the pressure is 25% below the tire
manufacturers' recommended operating pressure. When this happens the backlight
on the monitor screen will light up. The green LED light will go out, the red warning light
will begin to flash and the audible beeper will cycle at 2 flashes or beeps per second,
the alarmed wheel position will be shown, the pressure of the low tire, and the words
LOW PRESSURE will be displayed on the monitor similar to Figure 4-1. The screen will
display the same information as a Low Pressure Level 1 Alarm. Pressing any of the
buttons or after 100 seconds the audible alarm will be silenced. The monitor will
continue to display the wheel position, air pressure of the alarmed wheel position and

the words LOW PRESSURE until the problem is corrected. If the alarm comes on and
the FAST LEAK icon appears (see figure 4-2), this means the tire is loosing air at a rate
faster than 2.8 PSI in a 12 second period. The FAST LEAK icon will only be displayed
when a fast leak is detected and will go out after 18 seconds when the air quits leaking
from the tire. We strongly urge you to pull over and inspect the possible tire damage
immediately.
When the low pressure light illuminates, STOP and check your tire(s) as soon
as safely possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a
significantly under-inflated tire can cause the tire to overheat and lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tires tread life, and may affect the
vehicles' handling and stopping ability.
3. High PressureAlarm:
The Doran 360RV monitor is capable of monitoring for a High Pressure Warning. This is
a warning that is displayed when the baseline air pressure is exceeded by 25%. When
this happens the Green light will go out. The audible beeper will beep once per second
and HIGH PRESSURE will be displayed on the monitor screen. This can be caused by
extreme heat generated into the tire.
When the High-Pressure warning appears, STOP and check your tire(s) as
soon as safely possible, and check for the possible cause. This can happen
because of a dragging brake, bad wheel bearing, extreme temperature conditions, or
other mechanical failures that you might not detect. It is suggested that you check the
suspect tire position for a possible mechanical failure.
4. Lost SensorAlarm:
The Doran 360RV monitor is capable of monitoring for
a lost sensor signal (see Figure 4-3). If the monitor is
unable to receive a signal from a sensor for more than
18 minutes an alarm will be displayed for that sensor.
This does not mean that the sensor is missing, just
that a signal was not able to get to the monitor. This
could be from other signals interfering with the sensor signal, interference from
structures, or a poor signal. By FCC rules we must allow signals from other sources to
interfere with our signals. The Doran 360 series sensors, as well as all the other TMPS
systems on the market are not allowed to interfere with other radio frequency (RF)
signals.
