Intro: Programming the CANbus Transceiver using the SmarTool
1. These instructions apply only to Valor CANbus
Transceivers (Figure 1) that require a Valor SmarTool
for sensor programming.
2. The SmarTool must be updated to the latest software
version (Pro 2.2 or higher). To check the software
version on your SmarTool simply press the on/off
button. The firmware version of the device will display
on screen Figure 1A.

STEP 1
STEP 1.2
1. Position the SmarTool directly over the Valor CANbus
transceiver.
2. With the cursor arrow positioned next to “Vehicle
ID:” (Figure 8) turn the power to the Valor CANbus
transceiver OFF and back ON. (I.e. vehicle ignition or
power interrupt button on Valor harness (Figure 8A).
3. DO NOT PRESS THE ENTER BUTTON on the
SmarTool.
4. The Vehicle ID number will populate automatically.

STEP 2
STEP 2 - Read Sensor ID/Set Positions
1. Using the up/down arrow buttons, select the tire
position you want to program. Once the arrow
is in the selected position (Figure 9), go to the
corresponding tire on the vehicle.
Example: If programming 1–A to the left front tire,
position the SmarTool approx. 1 inch from the side
of the tire you wish to scan (sensors are normally
installed near the valve stem).
2. Press ENTER
3. A series of zeros will scroll across the SmarTool
indicating a search for sensor. When it locates the
sensor, the SmarTool will beep once. (Figure 10)

STEP 2
STEP 2.1
1. Once it locates the sensor, the SmarTool will display
the ID number in the tire position field selected by the
operator.
2. If performing a complete tire installation, be sure to
repeat this step for each tire before moving to the next
step.
3. Once all Sensor ID numbers (tires) have been
scanned/ loaded, press ESC on the SmarTool and
return to the “ID Learning” menu. Return to the
vehicle’s cab.
4. *Note: When programming a Valor CANbus
transceiver for an axle with only two wheel positions
(tires) program the sensor ID numbers in positions – A
for left side and B for the right side. (Figure 11)
By positioning the sensors this way the graphical
display on the Ametek gauge will appear with 2 wheel
positions on the axle, not 4. For axles with 4 wheel
position (tires), program the sensor ID numbers as
normal: outside left A, inside left B, inside right C,
outside right D.
