installed; prepped trailers do. If a repeater dock is installed,
go to Installation and Setup section.
1. Locate a mounting area inside the trailer that allows
connection of the Tire Linc repeater dock (Fig.1A) to the
unit’s power source without creating a strain on the
completed connection.
NOTE: Connecting Tire Linc to a power source past the
disconnect will turn off the Tire Linc system if the power
source is turned off during transport.
NOTE: The Tire Linc repeater dock MUST be
mounted vertically.
NOTE: Film covering the repeater posts MUST remain
in-place until the repeater is installed.
2. Repeater dock mounting MUST be located in the
closest compartment to the tow vehicle, e.g., the front
compartment, that is free of any metal or obstructions that
could interfere with the signal and hinder reception.

Tire Limits Example
Programmable tire limits have a “next” arrow (>)
(Fig.16A) that, when tapped, opens that feature’s scrollable
window of available settings. Scroll through the limits
window to find the desired setting, select it, then tap the
“back” arrow (<) (Fig.18) located above the tire’s name at the
top of the window’s heading.
The following example illustrates the interaction between
the various tire settings and how the resulting information
is relayed by the monitoring system for display in the app.
1. Select a tire by tapping its information button (Fig.16A) to
launch its settings window  FRONT LEFT TIRE.
A. In this example, the reported current tire Pressure is
listed as “30 psi” (Fig.18).
NOTE: Stem Sensor Pressure Reading Tolerance:
+/-1.5 psi (+/-10.3 kPa).
For example—because of differences in accuracy and
conversion between a Stem Sensor and a tire gauge—
actual tire pressure at 38 psi (262 kPa) may be reported by
the Stem Sensor as 36 psi (248.2 kPa) while the tire gauge
may report 40 psi (275.8 kPa).
B. Compare the tire’s low/high pressure range (20–80 psi)
(138-551 kPa) against the reported tire pressure (30 psi)
(207 kPa). Always make sure tire pressures are within
recommended limits.
UNDER OR OVER PRESSURIZED TIRES CAN
CAUSE UNFORESEEN, DETRIMENTAL EFFECTS
ON TIRES AND UNIT, INCLUDING UNDESIRABLE
TREAD WEAR. TIRES SHOULD ALWAYS BE
PRESSURIZED TO WITHIN THE MANUFACTURER’S
RECOMMENDATIONS.
C. If the High Pressure Threshold requires adjusting,
tap the next arrow to launch its settings window (Fig.19).
Scroll through the window until the current setting is
found, then scroll to a desired, higher limit and select it.
D. If the Low Pressure Threshold requires adjusting, tap
the next arrow to launch its settings window (Fig.18). Scroll
through the window until the current setting is found, then
scroll to a desired limit and select it.

Troubleshooting
Remove Stem Sensor to Change Battery
Removal of the stem sensor battery can be completed with
the included stem sensor tool. The stem sensor tool, which
is taken apart to utilize, is comprised of two pieces molded
to match the tops and bottoms of the stem sensors.Slightly
rotate the pieces opposite of each other and then carefully
pry them apart to separate. One piece is used on top of the
stem sensor and one piece of the tool is used on the bottom.
If the stem sensor batteries fail, replace them as follows:
1. Remove stem sensor from tire stem.
NOTE: If using the optional lock nuts as a theft deterrent,
use the supplied wrench to hold the lock nut while
unscrewing the sensor from the tire stem.
2. Using the stem sensor tool with a piece on top and a
piece on the bottom of the stem sensor, unscrew the top
cap of the stem sensor to expose the battery.
3. Replace battery with CR1632 3V lithium coin battery.
NOTE: Replacement batteries are not included.
4. Replace supplied stem sensor O-ring when replacing battery.
Missing Stem Sensor
If a stem sensor becomes loose or is missing from a tire,
the readout button (Fig.17) will be grayed out. Tighten the
loose sensor or replace with new.
No Power
If system is not working, check the in-line fuse to the
repeater dock to ensure the dock has power.
Learn Sensors Procedure Resets System
Do NOT tap the Learn Sensors button. Doing so resets
Tire Linc into configuration mode, which requires
uninstalling the stem sensors.
Factory Reset
In the event a wrong trailer type is chosen or if there is a
new trailer configuration, the settings can be reset.
1. Press and hold the pair button on the repeater for
approximately 10 seconds.
