1. IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES
Unless you have used this type of TPMS before, you will probably be unaware of what
happens to your vehicles’ tyres whilst driving. The tyres’ pressure and temperature will
naturally increase whilst you are driving your vehicle. This is completely normal and is
taken into account when the tyres are designed and manufactured. You can program
alert levels for low and high pressure and also temperature.
The system is used to monitor the pressure and temperature of each tyre. The system
will give an alert if there is abnormal pressure and / or temperature, making the driver
aware that something is outside of normal parameters. The system can also enhance fuel
efficiency, prolong tyre life and make driving more comfortable. Be sure to read the user
guide carefully before installation and keep the manual safe for future use.
The monitor should be installed inside the vehicle where it does not affect normal
driving.
It is your responsibility to ensure that it is suitable for your particular vehicle and
that it is working correctly and properly maintained. Check the sensors and valve
stems regularly, as some road salts can cause corrosion.
The system does not replace the need to carry out regular checks on the
condition and wear of the tyres.
Keep the small parts and especially the batteries, out of the reach of children. If
a battery is swallowed, consult a doctor or visit your nearest hospital. Do not
hold a battery with metallic tweezers as it will cause a short circuit and may
lead to burning or explosion of the battery.
Do not alter the monitor while driving. If an alert sounds, pull over
when safe to do so.
It is not normally necessary to turn the monitor off. It has an inbuilt motion detector
that automatically puts it into sleep mode when no movement is detected for 10
minutes, and when an external DC power source is not connected.
Normally, and provided there is some charge in the battery, the monitor will wake up
when it senses movement or vibration such as the opening or closing of the car door. If
it doesn’t wake up, press any button to wake the monitor from sleep mode. If you are
not using the monitor for long periods though, turn it off before storing it.
The sensors themselves also have inbuilt motion detectors that will put them into sleep
mode when no movement is detected for 10 minutes, this is to save the battery life.
When the vehicle starts moving, the sensors will wake up in a few yards and refresh
the data on the monitor.

2. SYSTEM COMPONENTS
2.1 Monitor and accessories
2.2 Sensors
The system can be supplied with TCSN-3 compact sensors that can be used for tyre
pressures up to 99psi / 6.8 bar. The monitor is also compatible with TCSE sensors for
higher pressures (up to 188psi / 13 bar) and also TPMS INT 01 internal sensors fitted to
TyrePal TPMS Ready systems. If different sensors are used, the operation of the monitor
may not be exactly as described in this manual.
The TCSN-3 compact sensors are supplied with lock nuts which can be used to prevent
casual theft. The sensors come with dust shields to protect them from environmental con-
taminates.
The box may also contain some spare O-rings that can be used as replacement seals when
the sensor batteries are replaced.
2.3 Optional components
The system may be supplied with optional parts such as a Signal Repeater. This is used to
extend the range of the sensor signals and can also store trailer settings to simplify
exchanging trailers in a fleet.
