1. INTRODUCTION
The Hand Held Reader Programmer can be used to quickly check all the tyres on a
vehicle or trailer. It is also used to set alert levels or to register sensors to each wheel
position. It is particularly useful for fleet applications as it is quicker and more convenient
than programming through the in-cab monitors.
1.1 Functions
• Read sensor IDs, pressure and temperature
• tore sensor locations and IDs
• et pressure and temperature units.
• et pressure and temperature alert levels for tractor and trailers
• end all data to monitor and repeater at one time
• Can store data for up to 4 trailers
• Can code up to 24 tyres on each trailer.
1.2 Layout and controls
1.3 Power

3 REGISTER SENSORS
ensors are interchangeable and can be registered to any of the possible wheel positions.

be registered. The selected tyre position flashes. Place the reader programmer close to
the sensor and press the INPUT button. The display will show ‘Reading ID’
If it is coded successfully, the sounder will beep once and the display will show the sensor
ID, together with pressure and temperature data. If it fails to code successfully a double
beep will sound and the display will show the word ‘Failure’ for ten seconds.
If a sensor is coded repeatedly, it will delete the previous record.
4 READ SENSOR DATA
In standby mode, press the UP or DOWN keys
repeatedly to cycle through the wheel positions and
display the sensor ID together with the current tyre
pressure and temperature data.
You can also select a specific wheel position directly
with the numerical keys.
Data is displayed for 10 seconds and then the read-
er reverts to the standby display.
