1. PRODUCT INFORMATION
1-1. Product Feature
Thank you for choosing iCheckTPMS. Our tyre pressure monitoring system
allows you to monitor not only your tyre pressure and temperatures but also your
caravan wheel bearing and hub temperatures. A world first.
Please read the manual in full to familiarise yourself with all its features and
benefits before installing the system.
1-2. iCheckTPMS IntelliData™
What is IntelliData™?
Unlike iCheckTPMS, other tyre pressure monitoring systems can be dicult to set
up, especially when setting your high and low alarm pressures for each wheel, for
car and then caravan, which generally run dierent pressures.
With our exclusive IntelliData™, it’s much easier and quicker. Here’s how.
On cold tyres, simply screw the wheel sensors onto your tyre valves. This sets the
benchmark alarm pressure alerts. If a tyre pressure increases by 25% (from the cold
benchmark pressure), it will give a visual and audible alarm. If a tyre pressure drops
by 15% (from the cold benchmark pressure), it will give a visual and audible alarm.
With this feature, you do not have to set dierent high and low pressures for your
tow vehicle or caravan; simply screw them on and you’re done.
1-3. Intelligent O Road Mode
When the need arises to reduce the air pressure of your tyres, simply unscrew
the wheel sensors, air them down, and reinstall the sensors. This then sets a new
benchmark with pressure alerts if the tyre’s pressure rises by 25% or drops by 15%.
Every time your sensors are removed and reinstalled, they reset to the current
pressure so there’s no need to keep readjusting your high and low pressure alarms.
Clever huh?

1-4. iCheckTPMS InstaData™
What is lnstaData™?
Currently other TPMS systems have wheel sensors that go into sleep mode after
a short period of time and no movement, and are only activated by motion,
generally at speeds over 25km/h.
Here lies the problem... if your caravan has been sitting for some weeks or months
and has a slow leak you won’t know until your halfway down the road. Having
hooked up ready for your trip then only to be made aware that you have low
pressures in one or more tyres.
This then is a pain having to pull over and put air in your tyres on the side of the
road. Keep in mind too that there is visually no dierence between a tyre with
40PSI and 20PSI and there is no way of telling whether you have low pressures
in your car and or caravan before you leave, (unless checked manually with a tyre
pressure gauge).
The iCheckTPMS wheel sensors send data every five minutes to the monitor
whether in motion or not via our exclusive InstaData™.
This means as soon as you hop in your car with your caravan on tow you will have
the latest PSI data before you even drive out the driveway.

change whilst driving.
4. All sensors in this unit have been pre-set individually for each tyre in the
factory. Whenever the location of a tyre is changed it is necessary to put the
numbered sensor back to its original position as per the factory default wheel
sensor location.
5. When installing the monitor on the dash, ensure it is placed securely and does
not obstruct the driver’s view of the road.

9. SENSOR PAIRING
9-1. TPMS Sensor Pairing
If the need arises to replace a sensor or change the location of pre-paired sensors
follow these simple steps.
Press the ‘set’ and ‘+’ buttons for 3 seconds until a beep is heard to enter the
sensor pairing mode. It will start with the vehicle’s passenger front wheel flashing.
Press the ‘+’ button to scroll through to the desired wheel location for the new
sensor to be programmed to. Then screw the sensor onto the tyre valve and wait
for a beep (up to 20 seconds). Once a beep is heard, press, and hold the ‘set’
button until another beep is heard to save the new data and return to standby
mode. Repeat this process for any additional sensors.
9-2. Wheel Bearing Sensor Activation and Pairing
All wheel bearing sensors need to be activated and paired to the monitor, (to
prolong the shelf life of the internal battery prior to first time installation).
Activation can be done just prior to, or after they have been installed on the hub
bearing dust caps.
Press the ‘set’ and ‘-‘ buttons for 3 seconds until a beep is heard. The passenger
front wheel will flash. Whilst the wheel icon is flashing, hold the magnet against
the sensor where the arrow is pointing and within 3 seconds the monitor will
beep, and the temperature will show. To save, press and hold the ‘set’ button again
until a beep is heard to save the new setting and return to standby mode. Repeat
this process for the other sensor/s.

10. WHEEL BEARING SENSOR INSTALLATION
Remove the centre caps from your wheels to expose the metal bearing dust cap.
Make sure there is enough room between the bearing dust cap and the inside of
the wheel centre cap for the sensor to be installed. Please note that some wheel
types may need to be removed to gain access to the dust cap.
Thoroughly clean the hub dust cap surface before installing. If necessary, use a
scotch brite pad to scu the surface and then wipe down with a wax and grease
remover. Make sure the surface is clean and dry and free of any oils or grease
before installation. Once the surface is completely clean and dry, firmly push and
hold the sensor in place for 20 seconds. It’s advisable not to drive for 24 hours to
allow the 3M adhesive to thoroughly bond to the dust cap surface.
Please Note: Most dust caps have a flat surface to mount the bearing sensor too,
however, if you have a curved surface or the dust cap has raised lettering you may
need to replace them with dust caps with a flat surface and are easily found at
your local trailer or caravan store.

11. MONITORING YOUR HUB / BEARING TEMPERATURES
When monitoring your bearing temperatures, you are generally looking for
one, or maybe more, bearings that are running hotter than the others. If all the
temperatures are within a couple of degrees of each other this is a good sign that
there all operating correctly. If you notice that one is considerably hotter this could
be an early warning sign of a potential problem with either your bearing, hub, or
even your brake calipers.
You will get a feel for it based on the weight of your rig. Typically, you will find the
bearings will run around 15-20 degrees above the ambient temperature. Higher
temperatures than this provide an indication that there is more friction than
necessary and there maybe something wrong.

Q. What if my car already has a factory tyre pressure monitoring system?
A. You can still use the iCheckTPMS at is will also show your tyre temperatures
and your spare tyre data.
Q. What is the battery life of the wheel sensors?
A. Depending on how often you use your vehicle, you will get approximately a
12-18 month life span from the batteries.
Q. Are the sensors waterproof?
A. Yes. The wheel sensors have an IP67 waterproof rating. They can withstand
a 30 minute immersion in up to one meter of water.
Q. Do I need to get my wheels re balanced after installing the sensors?
A. No. The wheels sensors only weigh 9 grams and won’t aect the balance of
your wheels.
Q. Why is one side of the monitor displaying higher pressures and
temperatures?
A. This is quite common as the heat from the sun can increase the temperature
and pressure of your tyres if one side of the vehicle is in direct sunlight.
Q. Do I need to use the rubber dust covers and lock nuts supplied in the kit?
A. No. Although advisable, the dust covers and lock nuts are there for theft
prevention and sensor protection only.
