Overview

  4. Maintenance Features

The ATEQ VT15 is a trigger tool designed for Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS). This quick user manual provides essential information for its operation, maintenance, and compliance.

Function Description:

The primary function of the ATEQ VT15 is to trigger TPMS sensors in vehicle tires. This action initiates a communication cycle with the sensor, allowing it to transmit its data (such as tire pressure and temperature) to the vehicle's onboard system or a diagnostic tool. The device is designed to be user-friendly, enabling quick and efficient TPMS sensor activation.

Important Technical Specifications:

While the manual does not explicitly list detailed technical specifications like frequency bands or power output, it does provide critical information regarding its compliance with European Union directives. The ATEQ VT15 is declared to be in conformity with the Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU. This indicates that the device operates within specified radio frequency parameters and meets essential requirements for health, safety, and electromagnetic compatibility.

The device's conformity is declared against several harmonized standards:

  • EN 61010-1:2010: Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use.
  • EN 61326-1:2013: Electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use – EMC requirements – Part 1: General requirements.
  • EN 301 489-1 V2.2.3: Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM); ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standard for radio equipment and services; Part 1: Common technical requirements.
  • EN 300 220-2: V3.2.1: Short Range Devices (SRD); Radio equipment to be used in the 25 MHz to 1 000 MHz frequency range with power levels ranging up to 500 mW; Part 2: Harmonised Standard for access to radio spectrum.
  • EN 300 330 V2.1.1: Short Range Devices (SRD); Radio equipment in the frequency range 9 kHz to 25 MHz and inductive loop systems in the frequency range 9 kHz to 30 MHz; Harmonised Standard for access to radio spectrum.

Additionally, a non-harmonized standard, EN62479:2010, is referenced, which pertains to the assessment of the compliance of low-power electronic and electrical equipment with the basic restrictions related to human exposure to electromagnetic fields (10 MHz to 300 GHz). These standards collectively ensure the device's safe operation, electromagnetic compatibility, and efficient use of the radio spectrum.

Usage Features:

The ATEQ VT15 is designed for straightforward operation:

  1. Positioning: To trigger a sensor, the VT15 tool should be placed in front of the tire, near the sensor's location. This ensures optimal signal transmission to the sensor.
  2. Initiating the Cycle: The triggering cycle is started by pressing and releasing the left key, labeled "TX1." This action sends a signal to activate the TPMS sensor.
  3. Cycle Duration: The triggering cycle typically lasts between 1 and 50 seconds. During this period, the device attempts to communicate with and activate the sensor.
  4. Stopping the Cycle: If necessary, the cycle can be manually stopped by pressing the right key, labeled "TX2." The cycle also automatically stops after 50 seconds if not manually interrupted.
  5. Visual Indicators: The device features visual indicators (likely LEDs) for "TX1" and "TX2" to show activity. A red light with a signal icon is also visible on the device, which might indicate signal transmission or status.

Maintenance Features:

The manual highlights a key maintenance aspect: battery replacement.

  • Low Battery Indication: The device signals a low battery condition when the "Low Bat" light illuminates on the "TX2" indicator. This prompt alerts the user that the battery needs attention.
  • Battery Type: The VT15 uses a 9V battery. When the low battery indicator appears, the user should replace the existing battery with a similar 9V battery.
  • Disposal: It is crucial to dispose of the old battery responsibly. The manual explicitly states, "Do not dispose of the battery to the dustbin," and shows a crossed-out wheeled dustbin symbol. This symbol indicates that within the EU, the product (and by extension, its components like batteries) must be taken for separate collection at the product end-of-life. This aligns with environmental regulations to prevent harmful substances from entering the general waste stream and to promote recycling.

For further updates, comprehensive manuals, and additional information, users are directed to the ATEQ TPMS website: www.ateq-tpms.com. This ensures that users have access to the most current information and support for their VT15 device. The document is signed by Mr. Jacques MOUCHET, Chairman and CEO, and dated 30 Nov., 2020, affirming its official nature.
