5. TPMS Repeater Installation
5.1 Repeater Image
5.2 Installation Steps
The repeater is designed to boost the sensors’ RF signals to the receiver in the tow vehicle. The mounting
location of the repeater will depend on the type of trailer (bumper pull trailer, 5
th
wheel or gooseneck trailer)
the TPMS will be installed on. Select a horizontal surface location to mount the repeater on the front section
of the trailer, keeping in mind that the cable ends of the power cord will need to connect to the trailer battery.
For optimal signal performance, the key is to have the least obstructed transmission path between the
sensors, repeater and receiver. Ideally, to get the best RF transmission between repeater and tire pressure
sensors, the repeater should be in an open space with no barriers between the tire pressure sensors and
the receiver. Do NOT locate the repeater in an enclosed metal space that will block the RF signals.
