SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before installing the sensor, read the installation and safety
instructions carefully. For reasons of safety and for optimal
operation, we recommend that any maintenance and repair
work be carried out by trained experts only, in accordance with
the guidelines of the vehicle manufacturer. The valves are
safety-relevant parts which are intended for professional
installation only. Failure to do so may result in the failure of the
TPMS sensor. AUTEL does not assume any liability in case of
faulty or incorrect installation of the product.
CAUTION
• The TPMS sensor assemblies are replacement or maintenance
parts for vehicles with factory installed TPMS.
• Make sure to program the sensors by AUTEL sensor program-
ming tools by the specific vehicle make, model and year before
installation.
• Do not install programmed TPMS sensors in damaged wheels.
• In order to guarantee optimal function, the sensors may only be
installed with original valves and accessories provided by AUTEL.
• Upon completing the installation, test the vehicle's TPMS
following the procedures described in the original manufactur-
er's user guide to confirm proper installation.
CAUTION: Do Not race with the vehicle on which the Clamp-in MX-Sensor
is mounted, and always keep the drive speed under 300 km/h (186 mph).

Overview

1. Function Description
2. Important Technical Specifications
3. Usage Features
4. Maintenance Features

The device described is a Programmable BLE TPMS Sensor, MX-Sensor, operating at 2.4 GHz with a metal screw-in valve. This sensor is designed as a replacement or maintenance part for vehicles equipped with factory-installed Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS).

Function Description:

The MX-Sensor is a programmable BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) TPMS sensor that monitors tire pressure and transmits this data wirelessly. It is designed to be programmed using Autel sensor programming tools, specific to the vehicle's make, model, and year, before installation. The sensor's primary function is to provide accurate tire pressure readings to the vehicle's TPMS, contributing to driving safety and optimal tire performance. Once installed and programmed, it continuously monitors tire pressure, alerting the driver to any significant deviations from recommended levels. The sensor assembly includes a sensor body, a valve stem with a rubber grommet and valve core assembly, a washer, a screw-nut, and a cap.

Important Technical Specifications:

• Operating Frequency: 2.4 GHz
• Valve Type: Metal Valve (Screw-in)
• Weight of sensor without valve: 24.3 g
• Dimensions: Approximately 63.6 x 33.6 x 22.6 mm
• Maximum Pressure Range: 800 kPa
• Sensor Nut Torque: 4 Newton-meters (for correct installation)
• Maximum Drive Speed: Under 300 km/h (186 mph) when installed.

Usage Features:

• Programmability: The sensor must be programmed using Autel sensor programming tools specific to the vehicle's make, model, and year prior to installation. This ensures compatibility and proper function with the vehicle's TPMS.
• Professional Installation: Installation should be performed by trained experts in accordance with vehicle manufacturer guidelines. The valves are safety-relevant parts intended for professional installation only.
• Compatibility: Designed for vehicles with factory-installed TPMS.
• Optimal Function: To ensure optimal function, the sensors should only be installed with original valves and accessories provided by Autel.
• Post-Installation Testing: After installation, the vehicle's TPMS must be tested following the procedures in the original manufacturer's user guide to confirm proper installation and functionality.
• Safety Precaution: Do not race with the vehicle on which the Clamp-in MX-Sensor is mounted, and always keep the drive speed under 300 km/h (186 mph).
• Installation Steps: The installation process involves several key steps:
  1. Loosening the tire: Deflating the tire and unseating the tire bead using a bead loosener facing the valve.
  2. Dismounting the tire: Clamping the tire onto a tire changer, positioning the valve at 1 o'clock relative to the tire separation head, and lifting the tire bead onto the mounting head.
  3. Dismounting the sensor: Removing the old sensor from the valve stem.
  4. Mounting sensor and valve: Sliding the new valve stem through the rim's valve hole, tightening the screw-nut to 4.0 N·m, adjusting the sensor's installation angle to fit the rim tightly, and then tightening the screw.
  5. Mounting the tire: Placing the tire on the rim, ensuring the valve faces the separation head at a 180° angle, and mounting the tire over the rim according to tire changer manufacturer's instructions.

Maintenance Features:

• Replacement of Components: Each time a tire is serviced or dismounted, or if the sensor is removed or replaced, it is mandatory to replace the rubber grommet, washer, nut, and valve core with new Autel parts to ensure proper sealing.
• Sensor Replacement: The sensor must be replaced if it is externally damaged.
• Warranty: Autel provides a warranty for the sensor, guaranteeing it to be free from material and manufacturing defects for a period of twenty-four (24) months or for 25,000 miles, whichever comes first. The warranty is voided by improper installation or usage, defects induced by other products, mishandling, incorrect application, damage due to collision or tire failure, damage due to racing or competition, or exceeding specific product limits.
• Safety Instructions: Before installing, it is crucial to read the installation and safety instructions carefully. Any maintenance and repair work should be carried out by trained experts. Failure to follow these guidelines can lead to the failure of the TPMS sensor, and Autel does not assume liability for faulty or incorrect installation.
• Damaged Wheels: Programmed TPMS sensors should not be installed in damaged wheels.
