2.4 Repeater Description
The Tuson TPMS Retrofit Kit includes a repeater. The
repeater features power (red) and ground (black) wires
to connect to the trailer battery or any power source
that provides a constant 12/24V power. The repeater
is designed to boost the signal strength from the tire
sensors to the receiver (monitor) in the tow vehicle.
The repeater is waterproof and can be exposed to the
outside elements without being damaged. On trailers
greater than 20 feet long, the repeater must be
installed to provide the receiver enough signal strength
from the sensors. For small trailers, the receiver may
pick up the sensors without the repeater installed
however, we highly recommend you install the
repeater. In addition to boosting signal strength, the
repeater is also designed to transmit the trailer battery
voltage to the receiver. The repeater does not need to
be disconnected from the power source, because it is
motion activated and will go into sleep mode when the trailer is not moving. Therefore, the repeater may
take a few minutes while driving to wake-up and start transmitting messages to the receiver. See section
“5. TPMS Repeater Installation” on how to install the repeater.
