1. Introduction
This user manual provides detailed instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of your Flydew 6-Wheel Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Model 233. Please read this manual thoroughly before using the product to ensure proper function and safety. Keep this manual for future reference.
2. Product Overview
2.1 Key Features
- 5 Monitoring Modes: Provides comprehensive tire protection with real-time pressure tracking, high-pressure alerts (9.8 BAR / 142 PSI), low-pressure alerts (1.8 BAR / 26 PSI), high-temperature warnings (over 92°C), and rapid leak detection.
- Low Battery Reminders: Alerts for low battery levels on both the monitor and sensors.
- Dual Charging Capability: Supports solar charging during the day and Type-C USB charging for night or cloudy conditions, ensuring continuous power.
- Smart Energy-Saving: The monitor automatically enters sleep mode after 3 minutes of inactivity. Sensors switch to energy-saving mode, sending updates every 8 minutes when pressure is stable, and instantly reactivating for real-time monitoring upon anomaly detection.
- Wide Compatibility: Designed for 6-wheel vehicles including RVs, trailers, heavy-duty trucks, Class A RVs, Dually Pickups, Overland Campers, and Fifth-Wheel Trailers.

3. Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to install your Flydew 6-Wheel TPMS:
- Power On the Display: Press and hold the power button on the LCD display unit for 3 seconds to turn it on.
- Attach Nuts: For each tire, screw an anti-theft nut onto the valve stem. Do not tighten it yet.
- Position Sensors: Screw each sensor onto its corresponding valve stem. The sensors are typically marked (e.g., 1-6) for specific tire positions (Front Left, Front Right, Rear Left, etc.). Ensure correct placement.
- Lock Tight: Use the provided wrench to tighten the anti-theft nut counter-clockwise against the sensor. This secures the sensor and helps prevent theft.
- Soap Test: Apply soapy water around the base of each sensor and valve stem. Check for bubbles, which indicate an air leak. If bubbles appear, re-tighten the sensor and nut until no leaks are detected.

3.1 Display Unit Placement
Place the LCD display unit on your vehicle's dashboard using the double-sided tape. Ensure it is in a position that allows for clear visibility while driving and receives adequate sunlight for solar charging.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Understanding the Display
Image: Close-up of the TPMS display. It highlights indicators for solar charging, in-car temperature, battery level, tire pressure unit (Psi), tire temperature data, tire pressure data, and temperature units (°F).
The display shows real-time information for all 6 tires. Key indicators include:
- Tire Pressure: Shown in PSI (or other selected unit) for each tire.
- Tire Temperature: Shown in °F (or other selected unit) for each tire.
- Battery Level: Indicates the battery status of the display unit and individual sensors.
- Solar Charging Indicator: Shows when the unit is actively charging via solar power.
- In-Car Temperature: Displays the ambient temperature inside the vehicle.
4.2 Alert System
The system provides visual and audible alerts for the following conditions:
- High Pressure: Alert when tire pressure exceeds 9.8 BAR (142 PSI).
- Low Pressure: Alert when tire pressure drops below 1.8 BAR (26 PSI).
- High Temperature: Alert when tire temperature exceeds 92°C.
- Rapid Leak: Detects and alerts for sudden, significant pressure drops.
- Sensor/Monitor Low Battery: Indicates when a sensor or the display unit requires charging.

4.3 Energy Saving and Charging
The display unit features an auto-sleep mode, activating after 3 minutes of inactivity. It will instantly wake up upon engine vibration or touch. Sensors also enter an energy-saving state when tire pressure is stable, updating every 8 minutes, and reactivating instantly if an anomaly occurs.

5. Maintenance
- Charging: Ensure the display unit is regularly charged, either through solar exposure or by using the Type-C cable, especially during extended periods of low light.
- Sensor Inspection: Periodically check the sensors for secure attachment and signs of damage. Re-perform the soap test if you suspect a leak.
- Cleaning: Wipe the display unit and sensors with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Battery Replacement: Sensor batteries are designed for long life. If a sensor consistently reports low battery after charging the main unit, it may require professional service or replacement.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Display unit not turning on. | Low battery. | Charge the display unit using the Type-C cable. Ensure it receives sufficient sunlight for solar charging. |
| Sensors not displaying readings or showing incorrect data. | 1. Sensor not properly installed. 2. Sensor battery low. 3. Sensor not paired (unlikely if new, but possible). 4. Interference. | 1. Re-check sensor installation and tighten securely. Perform a soap test for leaks. 2. Ensure the main unit is charged, which can sometimes help sensors communicate. 3. If issues persist, contact customer support for pairing instructions. 4. Relocate the display unit to minimize interference. |
| Air leak after sensor installation. | Sensor or anti-theft nut not tightened sufficiently. | Re-tighten the sensor and anti-theft nut using the provided wrench. Perform a soap test to confirm the leak is resolved. |
| Display goes to sleep too quickly. | Normal energy-saving function. | The unit is designed to auto-sleep after 3 minutes of inactivity. It will wake up automatically with vehicle vibration or by touching the unit. |
