3. Key Features
The TireMoni TM-240 offers a range of features designed for reliable tire pressure monitoring:
- 4 External Sensors: Lightweight (10g/sensor) and equipped with replaceable batteries.
- Wide Measurement Range: Monitors tire pressure from 0 to 12.5 bar with an accuracy of 0.14 bar.
- Adjustable Warning Thresholds: Allows separate adjustment of low-pressure (Lo-P) and high-pressure (Hi-P) warning thresholds for each axle.
- Adjustable Temperature Alert: Features an adjustable high-temperature (Hi-T) alert threshold.
- Continuous Display: Provides a permanent display of all four current tire pressures.
- Expandable System: Can be expanded to monitor up to 10 sensors/wheels.
- Visual and Audible Alerts: Notifies the user of pressure loss or other issues with a backlit display and an audible 'beep' signal.
- Quick Installation: Designed for easy installation, typically within 5 minutes, without requiring initialization.
4. Installation Guide
Follow these steps for proper installation of your TireMoni TM-240 system:
4.1 Sensor Installation
- Ensure your tires are at the recommended pressure before installing the sensors.
- Remove the existing valve caps from your tire valve stems.
- Screw each TireMoni sensor onto the corresponding tire valve stem. Ensure they are tightened securely to prevent air leakage.
- Install the anti-theft rings if desired, following the instructions provided with the anti-theft kit.

4.2 Display Unit Placement
- Place the display unit in a location within your vehicle where it is easily visible to the driver but does not obstruct the view of the road.
- Ensure the display unit receives power, typically via a 12V car adapter or internal battery.
- For vehicles longer than 4.5 meters (e.g., some caravans or large vans), a radio booster/amplifier may be required to ensure reliable signal transmission from all sensors to the display unit.
The system is designed for quick setup and does not require initial programming or initialization after sensor installation.
5. Operating Instructions
Once installed, the TireMoni TM-240 continuously monitors and displays your tire pressures.
5.1 Reading the Display
The display unit shows the current pressure for all four tires simultaneously. The layout typically represents the vehicle's tire configuration. Units (e.g., bar) are indicated on the display.

5.2 Adjusting Warning Thresholds
The system allows you to set custom warning thresholds for low pressure (Lo-P), high pressure (Hi-P), and high temperature (Hi-T). Refer to the specific buttons and menu options on your display unit for detailed instructions on how to access and modify these settings. It is recommended to set these thresholds based on your vehicle manufacturer's specifications and your driving conditions.
6. Alerts and Warnings
The TireMoni TM-240 system is designed to alert you to critical tire conditions:
- Visual Warning: The display unit will illuminate or flash, often highlighting the affected tire, when a pressure or temperature threshold is exceeded.
- Audible Warning: An audible 'beep' signal will sound to draw your immediate attention to the warning.
Upon receiving an alert, safely pull over and inspect your tires. Address any issues before continuing your journey.
7. Maintenance
7.1 Sensor Battery Replacement
The external sensors are equipped with replaceable batteries. When a sensor's battery is low, an indicator will typically appear on the display unit. To replace a sensor battery:
- Carefully unscrew the sensor from the tire valve stem.
- Open the sensor casing (refer to the sensor design for specific opening mechanism).
- Replace the old battery with a new one of the correct type (e.g., CR1632, check sensor specifications).
- Close the sensor casing securely and re-install it on the tire valve stem.
7.2 General Care
The sensors are designed to be robust for both summer and winter tire use. Periodically check the sensors for any signs of damage or wear. Keep the display unit clean and free from dust.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your TireMoni TM-240 system, consider the following:
- No Sensor Readings: Check if the sensors are securely tightened on the valve stems. Ensure sensor batteries are not depleted. For longer vehicles, verify if a radio booster is needed and properly installed.
- Inaccurate Readings: Ensure sensors are correctly installed on their designated tires. Compare readings with a reliable manual pressure gauge.
- Display Not Powering On: Check the power connection to the display unit or replace its internal battery if applicable.
If problems persist, please contact customer support for further assistance.
