FREQUENTLYASKEDQUESTIONS
WHAT SHOULD BE DONE IF A LOW PRESSURE ALERT IS SOUNDED? Immediately pull over 
and check low tyre. Be sure to check valve stem for damage. If no visual leaks are spotted, 
performasoapbubbletestontheareatolocatetheleak.

CAN I STORE MY VEHICLE WITH THE MONITOR ON? The Monitor draws25mA to 100mA of 
power. It is possible the monitor could drain the vehicle's battery over an extended period of 
time. If storing vehicle for more than one month it is recommended that you unplug monitor 
andremoveSensors(see“Tips”section–“VehicleStorage”).

DOES MONITOR NEED TO BE POWERED BY LIGHTER ACCESSORY? No. Hardwiring is a
preferredmethod ofpowering as it reducesbackfeed interference. Connectthe red wireto

a 12 or 24‐volt DC positive power source (direct wire to the battery is not required).The 
black wire should be connected to a ground or chassis. WHEN DIRECT WIRING, IT IS 
IMPORTANTTOINSTALLA2AMPIN‐LINE,FASTBLOWFUSEWHICHPROTECTSTHEMONITOR 


CANMONITOR BEUSEDINDEPENDENTLY ON FRONTORBACKVEHICLE?
Yes –MENU‐>VEHICLESETTINGS‐> +/‐ VEHICLES‐>Scroll todesiredVehiclestoturn

“ON”/”OFF” (Using the “SEL”  button). Note: Vehicle Layout settings, programmed sensors, 
referencepressuresaresavedwhenavehicleis turned“OFF” 

WHATHAPPENS WHENIREMOVEA SENSORTO INFLATEA TIRE? Monitorwill display“00”
reading. After15minutes,theMonitordisplays3dashes(‐‐‐).

WHAT IS THE “REMINDER” ALERT?After an alert has been acknowledged with a button 
press, the amber TPMS Alert/Warning Quick Indicator Light will remain solid as a reminder 
of the alarm/warning condition.

CANIUSEASEALANTOREQUALIZERPOWDERINTHETYREWITHPRESSUREPRO?Ifusing
asealantorpowder,PressureProrecommends theuseofafilteredvalvestem(orfiltered 
core)toreducethechanceoftheSensorbecomingclogged.

TYRE PRESSURES INCREASEWHILE DRIVING‐DO I NEED TO DO ANYTHING? No. While
driving,itisnormalfortyrestoincreasepressureandtemperature.Ideallyforautomotive 
useanoperatingrangeof10–15%overcoldisnormal.

DOINEEDTOREBALANCEMYTYRESWHENUSINGASENSOR?The Sensorsweigh17grams,
onlargetyres(RV/Truck)thisseldomnecessitatesatyrebebalanced. Smallertyresmayrequire

arebalancing. Itisrecommendedthoughnotabsolutelynecessary.
WHENDO MY SENSORS TRANSMIT?
1. Within60secondsofscrewingSensorontothevalvestem.
2. Every5minutes whileupdating, undernormalconditions.
3. Ata12.5%&againat25%dropfrombaselinepressure.
4. WhenaSensorisremovedfromitsvalvestem.
5. Whenanoverpressureeventislogged

IF I UNPLUG OR LOSE POWER, MUST I REPROGRAM MONITOR?No. Settings are always
retainedunlessphysicallydeleted.Monitordisplays3dashes(‐‐‐)untilSensorssendanew

updatedreadingwithin the normal5 minutereportingperiod.

DURINGINSTALLATION,NO SIGNALWASRECEIVEDFROMTHESENSOR.Higherradio
frequency (RF) transmissions propagate mostly via straight lines and along line‐of‐sight 
pathways. PressurePro Sensors are required to accomplish a daunting task, i.e. transmit 
from a vehicle’s tyres to the Monitor. If  a Sensor fails to give a pressure reading, slightly 
movetheMonitor,removethesensorfor20seconds,andreattachsensor.

AFTERINSTALLATION, PRESSUREREADINGS DROP ONDISPLAY – ACTUAL TYREPRESSURE
REMAINSCORRECT. Theprobablecauseispoorinteractionbetweenthe Sensor andvalve 
core. UnscrewtheSensorandagain,hand‐tightentheSensor. (BesuretheSensorand 
valvestemarenot cross‐threaded.) Ifconditionpersists,contact yourDistributor/Dealer.

POWERCORD&FUSE/WHYDOESN’TMYMONITORTURN ON? IfyourMonitor does 
notpower,makesurethecordisproperlyconnected. Checkthefuselocatedinthe 
cigarettelighter endofthecordbyunscrewingthesilverring(atthesilvertip)oftheplug. 
Removetheboltcenteredinthecigarettelighterend. Replaceifnecessarywitha2amp 


HOWDOICHANGEBETWEEN MEASUREMENTUNITS?The PressurePro Monitor can 
displaypressureandtemperaturevaluesinimperialor metricunits. The observationof 
incorrectvaluesforalllocationscansometimesbethefirstindicationthattheMonitorhas 
beenplacedintoanalternateunitofmeasurement. The TPMS+Monitorshowsthe 

WHATSHOULDIDOIFASENSORISLOSTORDAMAGED?ContactyourDealerorDistributor 
toorderanewSensor.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING A BLOWOUT? During a blowout (or situation with complete loss 
ofpressure)the Monitor willsignal you ofa 25%loss in pressureandread “00”. Theremay 
beinstances,suchasinacatastrophicblowout,whenaSensororstemisblownoffthetyre, 
thevehiclemovesoutofsignalrange andnosignal(alert)isreceived.
