GETTING STARTED
It is important to read and understand your owner’s manual. It contains valuable information
as well as tips or suggestions for getting the most from your new TPMS System.
There are 3 basic installation steps:
1. Make sure you have the correct pressure in your tires before you install the system. It is best to install the
system in the morning when your tires are cool.
2. Turn on the monitor and scroll through the vehicle options that match your exact tire configuration.
Press the button to confirm your selection.
3. The system will ask you to install sensors one-by-one for each configuration. Locate the tire that corresponds to
the blinking tire symbol on your monitor. Screw the sensor on. When the pressure registers correctly, press .
You have established a unique electronic signature for that tire. Follow the prompts for all other tires.
Your nVISION®TPMS has a unique memory feature that allows you to store other configurations (trailers, vehicles,
motorhomes, etc.). Follow the same set up procedures for up to 4 different vehicles.
That’s it! Simple. Straight-forward. You’re now ready to roll….enjoy and be safe!!

DEFINE MODE
When you turn your monitor on for the first time, your screen should look like
this. The “Define” Mode allows you to choose a wheel configuration that
exactly matches your vehicles and trailers.
TIP:We recommend that you program your most common driving
configurations into Memory Position 1 and 2.
Press the arrow keys to scroll through our menu of tire configurations to find
the correct configuration for your vehicle. For example, If you have a 10-wheel
motorhome scroll to this configuration
Stop on correct vehicle configuration and press to confirm selection
REMEMBER: Please take your monitor with you to each tire using the Quick-Set™Installation Cord.
NOTE:It is critical that you place the sensor on the tire that corresponds to the
flashing tire on the monitor. The system will store this specific sensor location into
memory. If you don’t put the sensor on the corresponding tire location, the pressure
will be read and reported properly, but the display will not provide the correct tire
location.
The monitor will advance to sensor installation on the tires. You will begin with the left front
tire. Please follow the diagram below when installing the sensors for your vehicle.

NORMAL OPERATION
Once you have completed programming your Memory Positions, your system
will enter normal operating mode. Your TPMS system will begin checking
your tires. You will see a series of check marks illuminate in the middle on
the right side of the display screen. These checks indicate that your TPMS
system is reestablishing the RF connections with each sensor and verifying
tire conditions. When all tire conditions report at normal levels, checking
will stop and your monitor will illuminate the green light.
If you have turned your monitor off, you will need to turn it on to begin the
normal operation mode. Note that from the off position, your TPMS system
will need to reestablish the RF signature for each sensor for the Memory
Positions last used. This process could take up to 5 minutes depending on the communication cycle of the sensors.
When the monitor reestablishes RF connections, the monitor will display a yellow light, to indicate that it has yet to
verify all tire conditions.
TIP: We recommend that once your system is operating, you leave it plugged in and turned on. This ensures that
you have a continuous monitoring of all tires. If your vehicle is to be parked for more than 30 days, we recommend
you turn the monitor off.

BOOSTING YOUR SIGNAL
RF (Radio Frequency) signals are commonly used in wireless devices. The RF frequencies in your nVISION TPMS
system conform to all FCC Rules.
The RF system in your TPMS device has been designed to use normal objects in the environment to reverberate
signals from the wheels to the monitor. In normal use, most environments will provide the necessary impediments
to reverberate signals.
You may have occasion where an absence of objects on one side of your vehicle may not allow certain sensor
signals to be received by the monitor. If this should happen, you will receive a missing sensor signal. While this
error is likely to be rare, it can occur.
Different vehicles and longer distances can also affect the quality of your signal reception. If you are
experiencing excessive missing sensor notifications, we recommend you add an nVISION®Repeater.
This is available at a modest additional cost through our Customer Care Team [phone].

Your nVISION TPMS has a unique 5-Level Alert System
SAFE TIRE CONDITIONS: Properly inflated tires are safer, run cooler and last longer. Also, helps increase fuel
economy and tire tread life by 50% or more. This alert means all tire all good. The GREEN light on the front of the
monitor will be illuminated.
LOW PRESSURE: At 12.5% below the baseline pressure level, you will receive this alert. The YELLOW light on the
monitor will begin to flash and will flash continuously until the low pressure condition has been resolved. To ensure
that you are aware of the alert, a corresponding signal tone will sound with the YELLOW light. It will beep for 5
seconds. If you want to silence the warning signal, simply press the volume control button to “MUTE” the sound of
the alert. The display screen will show the accepted symbol of low tire pressure.
Tires 12.5% low are not considered dangerous, but you may begin to notice a slight deterioration in vehicle handling.
Certainly, you will be experiencing reduced fuel economy. In addition, you will be creating excessive tire wear.
If you receive a Level 1 Alert, we suggest that you get off the road at the first convenient opportunity and air up the
tire(s) to proper levels.
If you want to see which tire or tires have experienced a pressure loss, open the display screen. Tires with low
pressures will flash. If you have only one low tire, the monitor will display that tire, along with the current tire
pressure. If you have more than one 12.5% below normal pressure, all low tires will flash. You can use the arrow
keys to review the pressure levels in each tire.
MISSING SENSOR: There are several possible reasons for a missing sensor. If your system loses communication
with a sensor, this will trigger the YELLOW light on the front of the monitor to illuminate. NO audible warning will
alert you because while it is important to know you lost a sensor it does not require your immediate attention. To
determine which sensor is missing, open your display screen and you will see a missing sensor icon flashing. In
addition, the tire position of the missing sensor will also flash. If the RF signal connection has been interrupted, it
could take several minutes to reestablished the connection.
LOW BATTERY: Approximately 2 weeks prior to expiration, the sensor will send a notification to the monitor
indicating low battery. This will trigger the YELLOW light and the display screen will illuminate the low battery icon.

DANGEROUSLY LOW PRESSURE: At 25% below the baseline pressure level, you will receive this alert. The RED
light on the monitor will begin to flash and will flash continuously until the low pressure condition has been resolved.
To ensure that you are aware of the alert, a continuous signal tone will sound with the RED light for 5 seconds. If you
want to silence the warning signal, simply press the volume control button to “MUTE” the sound of the alert. The
monitor display will also illuminate a STOP sign to indicate the dangerous driving condition.
Tires 25% low are considered DANGEROUS. You will feel a deterioration in control and performance. It is imperative
that you exit the roadway at the first safe opportunity. You should immediately air up the tire(s) to proper levels.
If you want to see which tire or tires have experienced a pressure loss, open the display screen. Tires with
dangerously low pressures will flash. If you have only one low tire, the monitor will display that tire, along with the
current tire pressure. If you have more than one 25% below normal pressure, all low tires will flash. You can use the
arrow keys to review the pressure levels in each tire.
HIGH PRESSURE: At 24% ABOVE the baseline pressure level, you will receive this alert. The RED light on the
monitor will begin to flash and will flash continuously until the high pressure condition has been resolved. To ensure
that you are aware of the alert, a corresponding signal tone will sound with the RED light. It will beep for 5 seconds.
If you want to silence the warning signal, simply press the volume control button to “MUTE” the sound of the alert.
The monitor display will also illuminate a HIGH PRESSURE ICON to indicate the dangerous driving condition.
Over-inflated tires cause uneven wear on the tread of your tires making your tires not last as long. You will also
notice a decrease in vehicle handling and braking performance.
HIGH TEMPERATURE: At 176° F or 80° C, you will receive this alert. The RED light on the monitor will begin to
flash and will flash continuously until the high temperature condition has been resolved. To ensure that you are
aware of the alert, a corresponding signal tone will sound with the RED light. It will beep for 5 seconds. If you want
to silence the warning signal, simply press the volume control button to “MUTE” the sound of the alert. The monitor
display will also illuminate a HIGH TEMPERATURE ICON to indicate the dangerous driving condition.
Hot tires increase your risk of a blowout. If you receive this alert notification please exit the roadway as soon as
possible and let your tires cool down.
