Overview

1. Function Description
2. Usage Features
3. Maintenance Features

This document outlines the features and usage instructions for the Tymate Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), Item No. TM527M. This system is designed to enhance vehicle safety and performance by providing real-time monitoring of tire pressure and temperature.

Function Description

The Tymate TPMS is a comprehensive system composed of sensors and a monitor. Its primary function is to detect and display the air pressure and temperature of each tire in real time. The sensors, installed on each tire, collect pressure and temperature data and transmit it wirelessly via radio frequency to the monitor. The monitor then processes this data and displays it on its screen, alerting the user to any abnormal situations.

The system is equipped to issue various alarms based on user-defined standard pressure and temperature alarm values. These alarms are crucial for preventing traffic accidents, such as those caused by tire blowouts or underinflation. By providing continuous monitoring, the TPMS helps improve vehicle comfort, reduce fuel consumption, and minimize vehicle wear, ultimately enhancing dynamic performance.

Key functions include:

• Real-time Monitoring: Continuously tracks tire pressure and temperature for up to four tires.
• Alarm System: Triggers visual and audible alarms for high pressure, low pressure, high temperature, sudden air leaks, and low sensor battery voltage.
• Data Display: Shows pressure or temperature of all four tires simultaneously on an LED color display.
• Unit Options: Supports multiple pressure units (PSI, BAR) and temperature units (°C, °F) for user convenience.
• Customizable Alarm Values: Allows users to set their preferred standard alarm values for tire pressure and temperature.
• Automatic Backlight: The monitor backlight automatically turns on for better visibility.
• Tire Position Interchangeability: Supports arbitrary interchangeability of tire positions, making it flexible for tire rotations.
• Anti-theft Design: Sensors are designed with an anti-theft mechanism requiring a special installation fixture.
• Independent ID Code: Each sensor has a unique ID code, ensuring accurate data transmission to the correct tire position.

Usage Features

The Tymate TPMS is designed for ease of installation and user-friendly operation.

Monitor Installation: The monitor should be installed in a location that does not obstruct the driver's vision. It can be affixed to the dashboard using double-sided tape or attached to the windshield with a suction cup. Power is supplied by connecting the CLA power adaptor to the car's cigarette lighter. It's important to ensure the monitor is securely reinforced to prevent it from falling during driving. The system automatically detects tire abnormalities and sounds an alarm, reducing the need for constant driver attention to the display.

Sensor Installation: The sensors are external valve sensors, making installation straightforward. Before installation, ensure the monitor is turned on so that data can be received immediately.

1. Thread the anti-theft hex nut onto the car tire valve core.
2. Tighten the transmitter (sensor) clockwise onto the valve core thread.
3. Use the provided clamp to tighten the anti-theft hex nut counterclockwise against the transmitter to activate the anti-theft function. Each sensor comes with a sticker indicating its corresponding tire position (front left, rear left, front right, rear right). It is crucial to install each sensor on its designated tire. After installation, it is recommended to check for any air leaks using soapy water around the tire valve.

Parameter Settings: The monitor allows users to customize various parameters:

• Entering Settings: In standby mode, press and hold the "SET" key until a beep sound is heard. The LCD symbol for the first setting item will flash.
• Navigating Settings: Press "SET" to cycle through parameter items.
• Adjusting Values: Use the "-" or "+" keys to set specific parameter values.
• Saving Settings: After adjustments, press and hold "SET" until a beep sound confirms saving and exits to standby mode.
• Exiting Without Saving: Press "-" and "+" simultaneously to exit the setting mode without saving. The system will also automatically exit if there's no operation for 1 minute. Parameters that can be set include pressure unit (PSI/BAR), temperature unit (°C/°F), high pressure alarm value for front and rear tires, low pressure alarm value for front and rear tires, and high temperature alarm value.

Alarm Status: When any tire pressure or temperature exceeds the user-defined safety range, the monitor will display the corresponding tire icon, parameter, and fault icon flashing, accompanied by an audible warning. Pressing any key will silence the alarm sound, but the visual indicators will continue to flash until the fault is resolved. This applies to high pressure, low pressure, high temperature, sudden air leak, and low sensor battery voltage alarms.

Display Conversion: The monitor can switch between pressure and temperature displays. A single press of the "SET" key converts the pressure display to temperature. The temperature display will automatically revert to pressure after 10 seconds.

Backlight Adjustment: The backlight brightness can be manually adjusted by short-pressing the "-" or "+" keys. These keys can also be used to turn off the monitor interface.

User Code (Inflatable Code): Sensors are pre-coded at the factory. If tires are exchanged, a sensor position is forgotten, or a wrong code occurs, the "inflatable code" function allows re-coding:

1. In standby mode, press and hold the "+" button until a beep sound. The system enters the inflatable code interface, showing "Id" and the 6-digit ID code of the current tire.
2. Use the "-" key to select the tire position for coding.
3. Install the sensor on the corresponding tire (for external sensors) or inflate the tire (for built-in sensors).
4. When the sensor detects inflation, it will alarm with a beep, and its ID code will be displayed, confirming successful alignment.
5. Repeat for other sensors.
6. Once all required ID codes are received, press and hold "SET" until a beep to save and exit. Alternatively, press "-" and "+" simultaneously to exit without saving.

Maintenance Features

The Tymate TPMS is designed with maintenance in mind to ensure longevity and reliable performance.

Sensor Battery Replacement: The sensor batteries are replaceable, extending the lifespan of the sensors.

1. Use a power tool to fasten the upper cover of the sensor and the tire valve, then twist the sensor housing counterclockwise to open it.
2. Carefully remove the old battery from its clamp.
3. Install a new CR1632 lithium battery with the positive pole (+) facing upwards.
4. Screw the sensor housing back on and use the power tool to tighten it clockwise. During reassembly, it is crucial to check that the waterproof rubber ring is correctly in place. If damaged, it should be replaced with a new one to maintain the sensor's waterproof integrity.

Troubleshooting Tips:

• Data Update Time: Sensor data updates approximately every 5 minutes. If a sensor is moved to a different wheel, previous data may persist for a short period. If a sensor is removed, data may remain on the monitor for up to 2 hours. These are considered normal behaviors.
• Slight Air Leak: A slight air leak after sensor installation is normal and not a cause for concern.
• Sensor Wear and Corrosion: Sensors can experience wear and corrosion due to external environmental factors. It is recommended to have extra sensors as backups.
• Sensor Not Operating Normally:
  • Test: Remove the sensor from the tire to see if the monitor alarms.
  • Alarming Monitor: If the monitor beeps, the sensor is likely functional. Reinstall it. If it still doesn't work, the battery might be low. Try a new battery.
  • No Alarm: If the monitor doesn't alarm, the sensor battery might be low. Replace it with a new battery.
• Measurement Deviation: It is normal for the TPMS to have a slight deviation in tire pressure measurement compared to a traditional tire pressure gauge. The TPMS monitors pressure and temperature variations over time, while a gauge provides instantaneous data. Both readings are referenceable.

Customer Support: The product comes with a 2-year warranty and 24/7 customer service. Users can contact support via email or phone for assistance, including issues with device accuracy or replacement sensors. It is advised to have an experienced tire installation technician handle product installation and any subsequent tire disassembly to avoid damaging the sensors.
