Package Contents

• 1 x Tymate TM2 TPMS Display Unit
• 4 x External Tire Pressure Sensors
• 1 x Spare External Tire Pressure Sensor
• 1 x USB Charging Cable
• 1 x User Manual (this document)
• 1 x Anti-slip Pad
• 1 x Wrench for sensor installation
• 5 x Anti-theft nuts

Setup Guide

1. Initial Charging of the Display Unit

Before first use, ensure the display unit is fully charged. It supports solar charging, but for initial setup or when sunlight is unavailable, use the provided USB cable.

• Connect the USB charging cable to the display unit's USB port.
• Connect the other end to a USB power source (e.g., car charger, computer USB port, or wall adapter).
• The charging indicator on the display will show charging status.

The display unit also features solar automatic charging, providing continuous power supply under sufficient sunlight.

2. Sensor Installation

The external sensors are designed for easy and quick installation. Each sensor is marked for its intended wheel position (e.g., LF for Left Front, RR for Right Rear).

1. Unscrew the original valve cap from the tire valve stem.
2. Screw on the anti-theft nut onto the valve stem.
3. Screw the corresponding sensor (e.g., LF sensor for the left front tire) onto the valve stem until it is snug.
4. Use the provided wrench to tighten the anti-theft nut against the sensor to secure it.
5. Repeat for all four tires.

The sensors are waterproof (IP67), compact, and lightweight, ensuring durability and minimal impact on tire balance.

3. Pairing Sensors (Usually Automatic)

The sensors are typically pre-paired with the display unit. Once installed and the vehicle is driven for a short period, the display unit should automatically receive signals and show tire pressure and temperature readings. If readings do not appear, refer to the Troubleshooting section for manual pairing instructions.

Upon pairing, the system automatically configures the current tire pressure as the reference point for alarm thresholds.

Operating Instructions

1. Display Unit Overview

The Tymate TM2 features an adaptive backlight and an enhanced color LCD display for clear readings day or night. The display shows real-time pressure (PSI) and temperature (°F) for each tire.

2. Alarm Modes and Thresholds

The system provides five distinct alarm modes to alert you to potential tire issues:

• Fast Leak Detection: Alerts immediately to rapid pressure loss.
• High Pressure Alert: Triggers if tire pressure exceeds the set high threshold.
• Low Pressure Alert: Triggers if tire pressure falls below the set low threshold.
• High Temperature Warning: Alerts if tire temperature exceeds the set threshold.
• Sensor Low Voltage Notification: Indicates a sensor battery needs replacement.

Setting Alarm Thresholds: The system automatically sets the current pressure as the reference point upon pairing. You can adjust alarm thresholds within an alarming range of +25% PSI to -15% PSI of the reference pressure. Refer to the display unit's specific button functions for detailed adjustment steps (usually involving long-pressing specific buttons to enter settings mode).

3. Power Management

The display unit is powered by a built-in rechargeable battery, primarily charged via its integrated solar panel. When solar charging is insufficient (e.g., during prolonged cloudy weather or night driving), you can charge it via the USB port using the provided cable.

The external sensors are powered by CR1632 batteries, offering up to six months of operation and a maximum lifespan of two years.

Maintenance

1. Sensor Battery Replacement

When a "Sensor Low Voltage Notification" appears on the display, it's time to replace the battery in the affected sensor.

1. Unscrew the sensor from the tire valve stem using the provided wrench to loosen the anti-theft nut first.
2. Carefully open the sensor casing (usually by twisting or prying gently with a small tool).
3. Remove the old CR1632 battery.
4. Insert a new CR1632 battery, ensuring correct polarity.
5. Close the sensor casing securely.
6. Reinstall the sensor onto the tire valve stem, securing it with the anti-theft nut.
