Installation

External Sensor Installation

1. Remove the valve cap from the tire valve.
2. Screw in the nut onto the valve stem.
3. Screw the external sensor onto the valve stem.
4. Tighten the nut to secure the sensor using the provided spanner.
5. Spray soap water on the valve nozzle to check for leakage.
6. Clean the area around the valve before installation.

External Sensor Battery Replacement

1. Unscrew the nut securing the sensor.
2. Unscrew the sensor unit.
3. Unscrew the sensor cover using a spanner.
4. Replace the battery with a new CR1632 battery.
5. Refer to "Sensor Installation" steps to reassemble and install.

Valve Sensor Installation

1. Remove the original air valve from the wheel rim.
2. Install and adjust the valve sensor onto the wheel rim. Screw and tighten the nut and valve.
3. Inflate the tire after installation.
4. Rebalance the wheel to ensure radial uniformity.
5. Reinstall the balanced wheel onto the vehicle.

Display Installation

1. Remove the 3M tape protective film and affix the display on the windscreen. Ensure the display is installed approximately 500mm away from DVD or high power equipment to avoid electromagnetic interference.
2. The display supports solar power and USB charging.
3. Solar Power: The display will be charged automatically as long as the solar panel is facing sunlight.
4. USB Charging: Connect a USB charger to the display's power supply input. For first-time use, charge the display with a USB cable for up to 4 hours, especially during overcast or rainy days.

Troubleshooting

Different Scenarios

• Normal: Displays real-time tire pressure and temperature of all 4 tires.
• High Pressure: Indicates a tire pressure exceeding the set threshold, often accompanied by an audible alert (e.g., "Di- Di- Di- Di- Di-").
• Air Leakage: Alerts to a rapid drop in tire pressure, typically with an audible alert (e.g., "Di- Di- Di- Di- Di-").
• High Temperature: Warns if tire temperature exceeds the set limit, usually with an audible alert (e.g., "Di- Di- Di- Di- Di-").
• Sensor Failure: Indicates a problem with one or more sensors, displaying specific error messages or no data for the affected tire.
• Low Battery: Alerts for low battery status, either for the display unit itself or for the individual sensors.

Settings

1. Unit Switching

1. Press and hold the M button to enter the setting interface.
2. After entering the setting interface, P1, Pressure units (Bar / PSI), and temperature units (°C / °F) will flash.
3. Press the M button to select the unit setting. Press the > button to switch between pressure and temperature units. Press the M button again to confirm the preferred units. Press the < button to exit the setting interface.

2. Threshold Value Setting

1. Press and hold the M button to enter the setting interface.
2. Press the > button; the P2 indicator and the Left Front tire icon will flash.
3. Press the M button, then press the > button to switch between threshold value interfaces (High Pressure Value, Low Pressure Value, and High Temperature Value). Select the preferred interface by pressing the M button. The digit will flash; then press the > button to adjust the preferred value and press M to confirm.
4. Press the < button to exit the setting interface.

3. Tire Position Exchange Setting

(This is required only when tires have switched locations)

1. Press and hold the M button to enter the setting interface.
2. Press the > button twice; P3 will flash.
3. Press the M button; the digits on the top left and top right will flash.
4. Press the > button to switch the preferred position (the sensor ID of the corresponding tire position will be displayed). Press the M button to select. Press the < button to exit the setting interface. (Pairing order: Front Left > Front Right > Rear Right > Rear Left)

4. Sensor Pairing Setting

(This is required only when sensors have switched locations or been replaced)

1. Press and hold the M button to enter the setting interface.
2. Press the > button thrice; P4 will flash.
3. Press the M button to enter pairing mode. The old sensor ID of the front left tire will be shown on the display.
4. Press the > button to switch the preferred position, then press the M button to select. Press the < button to exit the setting interface.

Important Notes for Pairing:

• Ensure that only one tire with a sensor is activated during pairing; otherwise, there is no guarantee that the correct sensor ID will be paired.
• To cancel the current pairing process, press the return key. However, the pairing process cannot be canceled after it has been successfully completed.
• External Sensor: Disassemble and reinstall the external sensor from the front left tire for sensor ID pairing activation.
• Valve Sensor: Release air from the tire continuously, not intermittently, ensuring the releasing process lasts at least 8 seconds. Do not exceed the maximum tire pressure during inflating.
• When the system receives the signal, you will hear "Di-" which indicates successful sensor pairing (the new sensor ID will be displayed). The system will then proceed to the next sensor. Press the < button to exit the setting interface.
