1. Introduction
The Avutrel TPMS HUD (Tire Pressure Monitoring System Head-Up Display) is designed to enhance driving safety by providing real-time monitoring of your vehicle's tire pressure and temperature. This system features a high-definition digital display, dual charging options (solar and USB), and six comprehensive alarm modes to alert you to potential tire issues. It is suitable for a wide range of four-wheeled vehicles, including cars, SUVs, campers, trucks, and trailers.
The high-resolution digital display provides comprehensive information including date, tachymeter, in-car temperature, tire temperature, tilt angle, roll angle, current time, and real-time tire pressure readings.
2. Package Contents
Please verify that all components are present in the package:
- 1 x TPMS HUD Display Unit
- 4 x External Tire Pressure Sensors (with brass core)
- 4 x Hexagonal Nuts
- 1 x Wrench
- 1 x USB Charging Cable
- 1 x User Manual
- 4 x Spare Sensor Batteries
3. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to install your Avutrel TPMS HUD system:
- Prepare the Display Unit: Before installing the sensors, power on the display unit. Ensure it is charged via solar power or the provided USB cable.
- Install External Sensors:
- Unscrew the original valve cap from each tire.
- Screw on one hexagonal nut onto each valve stem.
- Screw on the corresponding external sensor (marked FL, FR, RL, RR for Front Left, Front Right, Rear Left, Rear Right) onto each valve stem.
- Tighten the hexagonal nut counter-clockwise against the sensor using the provided wrench to secure it and prevent theft.
- Check for any air leaks after installation.
- Sensor Synchronization: Once the display unit is on and sensors are installed, the sensors will automatically synchronize with the display. This process typically takes 5 to 10 minutes. Drive the vehicle for a short period to activate the sensors and ensure all values are displayed correctly.
- Placement of Display Unit: Place the display unit on your dashboard in a position that does not obstruct your view of the road but is easily visible for monitoring.
The four external sensors are built with a durable brass core and are IP67 rated, making them waterproof, dustproof, cold-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and heat-resistant for reliable performance in diverse weather conditions.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Intelligent On/Off Function
The display unit features an intelligent auto-wake and auto-sleep function:
- When the vehicle starts, the display will detect vibrations and automatically power on, showing real-time data.
- When the vehicle is parked and stationary for a period, the display will automatically shut down to conserve battery power.
The display unit intelligently activates when the vehicle starts, detecting vibrations, and automatically shuts down when the vehicle is parked, conserving power without manual operation.
4.2 Real-time Monitoring
The system continuously monitors tire pressure and temperature 24/7. The high-resolution digital display provides clear readings day and night. In addition to tire data, the display also shows in-car temperature, date, and time.
4.3 Inclinometer and Elevation Display
The integrated inclinometer provides real-time data on your vehicle's orientation, including uphill/downhill slopes and left/right inclinations. This feature is particularly useful for off-road driving or when navigating uneven terrain.
The display provides real-time inclinometer data, showing uphill and downhill slopes, as well as left and right vehicle inclinations, enhancing awareness for varied terrains.
5. Alarm Modes
The Avutrel TPMS HUD system is equipped with six alarm modes to alert you to critical tire conditions, ensuring enhanced driving safety:
- Gas Leak Alarm: Alerts to rapid air loss, indicating a potential puncture or significant leak.
- High Pressure Warning: Notifies when tire pressure exceeds the preset safe limit.
- Low Pressure Warning: Alerts when tire pressure drops below the preset safe limit.
- High Temperature Alarm: Warns if a tire's internal temperature becomes excessively high.
- Sensor Lost Signal Alarm: Indicates if communication with a sensor is lost.
- Sensor Low Power Alarm: Alerts when a sensor's battery is running low and requires replacement.
The system features six distinct alarm modes: gas leak alarm, high pressure warning, low pressure warning, high temperature alarm, sensor lost signal alarm, and sensor low power alarm, all designed to enhance driving safety.
6. Charging the Display Unit
The display unit offers flexible charging options:
- Solar Charging: The integrated solar panel allows for continuous charging when exposed to sunlight, ensuring stable power production during sunny days.
- USB Charging: For cloudy days, prolonged indoor use, or when solar charging is insufficient, the unit can be charged via the provided USB cable. Connect the USB cable to a 5V power source.
The display unit can be powered by its integrated solar panel for continuous charging in sunlight or via a USB cable for charging in low-light conditions or indoors.
7. Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your TPMS system:
- Sensor Durability: The external sensors are IP67 waterproof, dustproof, cold-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and heat-resistant. However, avoid exposing them to extreme physical impact.
- Battery Replacement: When a sensor low power alarm is triggered, replace the sensor battery promptly using the spare batteries provided.
- Cleaning: Wipe the display unit and sensors with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: If storing the vehicle for an extended period, ensure the display unit is fully charged and store it in a cool, dry place.
8. Troubleshooting
Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Is it necessary to inspect tires after installation? | We recommend a comprehensive tire inspection for at least one month after installation. Consult your tire technician to address any defective tires promptly. |
| What to do if a tire puncture occurs? | The TPMS cannot prevent punctures caused by sharp objects or damaged tires. It monitors changes but cannot prevent instantaneous damage. Address punctures immediately. |
| What to do if data is displayed intermittently? | Try moving the display unit away from potential sources of interference. If the problem persists, you may need to consider using a signal repeater. |
