PROGRAMMING SENSOR CODES INTO THE DISPLAY
Note: It is recommended to label each sensor rst with the
provided numbering code sckers, similar to the following
paern, before you code the sensors. This allows you to know
which sensor is programmed to which re posion. You can also
write in your own sensor number paern.
AUTOMATIC CODE LEARNING (opon #1)
Note: Code all the sensors to the display BEFORE screwing them
onto the re valve stem unless otherwise noted.
• Turn the display on. You will be on the Main Screen.
• Press and hold the “CODE” buon unl it beeps and then
release it (approx. 6 seconds). You are now in the coding
mode.
• A re icon will ash and all 22 res will be displayed.
“FFF FFF” should also be displayed.
Or use your own paern:
TST-Doc-507 Manual-(B)

Truck System Technologies TST 507 Instructional Manual
Note: If the right front re is blinking and does not show all “Fs”
you can delete that factory test sensor code as follows:
Press the “SET” buon unl it beeps (approx. 3 seconds). The dis-
play should now show “FFF FFF.” This display indicates the re po-
sion is NOT coded and will not show on the Main Screen when
out of the coding mode.
• Normally, start coding on the right/passenger side of
the vehicle. This is posion #1 or, in the case of a trailer,
posion #T1.
• Be sure you have your rst sensor ready and keep the
remaining sensors at least two (2) feet away from the
display as to not interfere with the coding procedure.
• Hold your rst sensor to the boom of the display
and quickly press and release the “CODE” buon. The
display’s red LED should light and it should beep once.
A six (6) digit unique code should now appear on your
screen, replacing the “FFF FFF.”
Note: If a double beep is heard and the “FFF FFF” does not
change, try quickly pushing the “CODE” buon once again. This
may have to be done a few mes for the code to appear. If the
sensor does not code, check the baery voltage, be sure other
sensors are not close to the coding sensor, be sure the sensor
is touching the display, and be sure you are quickly pushing and
releasing the “CODE” buon. Call Tech Support at 770-889-9102
if none of the above works.
• Once coded, use the (+) or (-) buons to navigate to the
next re posion you want to code a sensor to.
• Again, put sensor #2 up to the boom of the display and
quickly press and release the “CODE” buon to capture
the sensor code. The “FFF FFF” should change to a new
unique code.

• Connue this process unl all your sensors are coded in
the correct re posions.
• Finally, press and release the “MODE” buon to go back
to the Main Screen. You should now see only the res
you coded. You have now completed the automac
sensor code set-up.
Note: When in the coding mode, the display will me-out within
approximately one (1) minute if no buons are pushed. At that
point, you will have to again hold the “CODE” buon down unl
it beeps and start the coding process again.
Note: Be sure the sensor being coded is at least 2 feet away from
the other sensors.
PRESSURE CODING (opon #2)
• Be sure your display is ON and it is showing the Main
Screen.
• Be sure your sensors are numbered. Screw the sensors
partly onto each valve stem in the order you numbered
them. Do NOT screw them down far enough to hear air
hissing out.
• Hold the “SET” buon down unl you hear a second
beep and then release.
• Navigate to the re icon you want to code that sensor to.
• Stand by that re and screw the sensor all the way down
to seat it.
TST-Doc-507 Manual-(B)

Truck System Technologies TST 507 Instructional Manual
• The sensor will immediately transmit its six digit code to
the display and it will be shown.
• Physically move to the next re posion you want to
code.
• Using the (+) or (-) buon, navigate to the re on the
display you are standing at.
• Again, nish screwing that sensor down to seat it. That
code will now appear on the display.
• Connue this procedure unl you have coded all the
sensor posions.
• Finally, press the “SET” buon unl it beeps to save all
the sensor codes in the display.
MANUAL CODING (opon #3)
Note: This method is mainly used to program sensor codes from
an old display to a new display if you do not have the sensors
available.
• Be sure your display is ON and it is showing the main
screen.
• Hold the “SET” buon down unl it beeps and release
(approx. 3 seconds).
• The rst “F” should be blinking (if no code was entered
previously). Use the (+) or (-) buons to change the rst
digit to the proper unit.
• Press and release the “MODE” buon to move to the
next digit posion. Again, use the (+) or (-) buons to
change that digit.
• Connue this process unl all six (6) of the digits are
properly set.

• To move to another re posion, quickly press and
release the “SET” buon.
• When done, press and hold the “SET” buon unl it
beeps to save the entries.
SENSOR INSTALLATION - Flow-through Sensor
• Be sure the an-the allen set screw at the sensor base
is not screwed in as to impede screwing the sensor onto
the valve stem.
• Screw the correctly marked sensor onto the valve stem
for that re posion. Tighten the sensor unl the air
stops leaking and the sensor booms-out on the valve
stem. Give it a slight twist to seat it. Do Not Over-ghten!
• Using the provided small allen wrench, ghten the set
screw onto the valve stem. This will prevent the sensor
from being removed. If necessary, you can put the screw
into the second screw hole to allow access by the allen
wrench if your rim is in the way. Keep the wrench in a
safe place for future use.
• You can now inate or deate the re through the 507FT
sensor without removing it.
SENSOR INSTALLATION - Cap Sensor
• Place the provided wrench around the sensor. You must
use the wrench to put the sensor on or take it o the
valve stem.

DISPLAY ALERTS
Out of Parameter Alert
The 507FT and Cap sensors send the re pressure and temperature
readings to the display every two (2) minutes. If a re is outside
the parameters that were set, the audible alarm will sound and
the red LED light will immediately ash. The audible alarm can be
silenced for a short while by pushing any of the ve buons on
the top of the display. The red warning light will connue to ash
unl the pressure or temperature issue is resolved and brought
back into your pre-set levels.
Fast Leak Alert
When a fast re leak is detected, the sensor will send that data
immediately to the display. You will see the problem re ash on
the display, the corresponding icon will be seen at the boom of
the screen and the pressure and temperature read-outs will ash.
You will also get an audible alarm. Again, you can press any of the
ve top buons to silence the alarm for a short while. The display
will connue to ash and alarm unl the problem is corrected.

5-6 seconds. You can manually cycle through the displayed res
by pushing the (+) or (-) buons on the display. The display will
show the re you choose for approximately 10 seconds before
connuing to cycle.
Backlighng and Moon Detecon
The display is equipped with a light-sensor and a moon-sensor.
The backlight will turn on when the vehicle is in moon and there
is lile ambient light. If the vehicle has stopped for a while and
the display is on the internal baery, the display will “go to sleep”
unl the vehicle resumes moon. To shut the light-sensor o,
press the (+) buon for approximately 4 seconds.
Disconnecng and Reconnecng a Towed Vehicle
When a towed vehicle is displayed on the screen and you want to
temporarily remove it (example: leaving a trailer at a campground),
press and hold the “MODE” and (-) buons simultaneously unl
the trailer secon of the display disappears. The sensors on the
trailer will not be read. To add the trailer secon back on to the
display again, push the “MODE” and (-) buons at the same me
unl the towed vehicle reappears.
Charging the Display
The display is powered by a non-replaceable, lithium-ion baery.
