PRESSUREPRODES CRIPTION PRE‐INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS
PressurePro is a wireless electronic Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that is
designed to displaycurrent tyre pressures on demand, whether moving or stationary.
PressurePro systems, which can be used on all pneumatic tyres, consist s of two basic
components: Tyre Sensors that screw onto the valve stems of the tyres, and the Pulse
monitor. The Sensors read tyre pressures every 7 seconds (12,343 times a day), and
transmit a coded RF signal to the Pulse monitor every 5 minutes assuring timely
information.IfanalarmlevelisreachedthePressureProSensorswilloverridethenormal
update and alert the monitor immediately (see “Alerts” section). During an alert, the
tyre location light flashes on the monitor, the current pressure reading for that tyre
flashes,andanaudible alertsounds.
PressurePro systems provides users with the market’s most comprehensive alert
schedule,withtwolowpressurealerts,ahighpressurealert,ahightemperaturealert,

PressurePro is a monitoring system and will not prevent tyres from losing pressure or
failing but it can provide early notice of potential problems and alert to low tyre
pressure situations. Because of the quirks of RF Transmissions and interference, no
guarantee of signalreception can be made.PressurePro is not meant to function as a
pressuregaugeor lowpressureindicator.
When Sensors are installed, they recognize the tyre’s current pressure as their BASEL INE,
therefor e the tyre pressure at the time of installation is important. It is recommended to
install Sensors with all tyres inflated to the manufactu rer's recommended pressures while
the tyres are “cool”. Installation in the morning before vehicle movement is optimal, but
not necessary. Installation can be done when tyres are “warm”, though doing so, without
manually resetting the reference pressures may cause false alerts. If installation is done

Tyres and valve stems should be carefully inspected prior toinstallation of the system
toensure that they are in goodcondition. Defective valve stems must be replaced. At
times, it may be necessary to clean the threads of the valve stemwith awire brushor

The valve core (the small valve inside the valve stem)must depress fully andrelease
air for the Sensor to activate. The Sensor might notactivate properly if the valvecore

core by pressing the end of a thumbnail directly into the valve core to make sure it
releasesa“burst”ofair.
NOTE‐When installing Sensors on vehicles with aluminum valve stems: New autos
may include factory installed TPMS Systems. New vehicleswith TPMS utilize aluminum
valve stems while PressurePro Sensors are made withbrass threads. Brass willbond to
aluminum due to the galvanic action between the different metals. When installing
PressurePro Sensors to aluminum stems, carefully apply dielectric grease, an anti‐seize
compound, to the aluminum stem being careful to apply only to the threaded area of
the valve stem. IMPORTANT: For vehicles with aluminum valve
stems remove Sensors every 4 weeks to ensure there is no fusing. If
storing the vehicle for extended
periods, remove the Sensors from the aluminum
stems.
