| Additional System Comments |
| (1) SmarTire - Sensors do not report unless vehicle is moving. Installation requires that all wheels be removed, tires broken down to mount the Sensor on the rim, then reassembled, inflated, balanced, and reinstalled on the vehicle. When battery maintenance or repair is required, the process must be repeated. Also requires at least two external antennas be installed plus the installation and cabling of a receiver. No alternate vehicle use flexibility. |
| (2) Tire Sentry - Does not report tire pressures. Requires the installation of an external antenna, cabled to a receiver amplifier inside the vehicle, which is wired to the display mounted in a new 2" hole in the dash, or in an aftermarket gauge bracket mounted separately. Does not alert when vehicle is parked. Limited alternate vehicle use. |
| (3) PressurePro™ - Cost of NEW Sensor is $50. When Sensor batteries become depleted, simply exchange the Sensor for a new one (w/updated technology) with your Dealer/Distributor -- for the price of the battery alone. All electronics are located in the Monitor; there is no separate Receiver. ery flexible alternate vehicle use. |
| (4) PressurePro™ - No extended antenna is required for the majority of installations; however, an extended antenna kit, or alternately, a Repeater is available for those installations that may require one. |
| (5) Prices are for 18 wheels, but PressurePro™ can Monitor up to 64 wheels! |
