• How versatile is PressurePro?

Yes. PressurePro™ will simultaneously read the largest size RV and the vehicle it tows.
PressurePro™ will work on all types of vehicles (boat trailers/horse trailers, trucks, RVs, cars, etc.) with up to 34 wheel positions, if needed.

Can I store my vehicle with the monitor on?

The Monitor draws 25mA to 150mA of power. It’s possible the Monitor could
drain the vehicle’s battery over an extended period of time. If storing for
more than 1 month, it’s advised to unplug Monitor and remove Sensors
(see “Tips” section). Plug in Monitor and replace Sensors before
driving again.

No. Hardwiring is an even better option as it reduces back feed interference.
Connect the red wire to a 12-volt DC positive power source (direct wire to
the battery is not required). The black wire should be connected to a ground
or chassis. (NOTE: green and white wires can be clipped off as they are not
necessary.)

Monitor will display “00″ reading. After 5 minutes, the Monitor displays
3 dashes (- – -). Removing Sensors for 60 seconds allows a new “BASELINE” reading
to be accepted.

After an “Alert” has been acknowledged with a button press (or 15
minutes have passed) and the location lights have turned off, the audible alert
will periodically “sound” for a short duration to remind you of the
alert.

See “Deleting a Location” in the “Monitor Button Functions” section.

Yes, holding the SET button down for 45 seconds will erase all Sensors installed.

When you receive a low Sensor Battery alert, contact your dealer/distributor.
The Sensor should be returned for replacement. The cost of a replaced “Sensor” is
less than the cost of a new Sensor. Contact your dealer/distributor or PressurePro™ for
information.

It’s recommended to use a filtered Dill Valve if using sealants or equalizing
substances. Sealant can plug up the valve core and shut off pressures in stems.

Immediately pull over and check low tire. Physically check tire and repair.
Be sure to check valve stem for damage. Soap the entire area to check for any
leaks.

No. While driving, tires become hot, increasing pressure. A pressure increase
of 10% to 20% is common, especially in hot weather at high speeds.

The 2/3 oz. Sensors, on large tires (RV/Truck), seldom necessitates a tire
be balanced. Smaller tires may require a ½ ounce stick-on balancing
weight opposite the Sensor.

Contact your Dealer, Distributor to order a new Sensor.

1. Within 60 seconds of screwing Sensor onto the valve stem.

2. Every 5 minutes while updating, under normal conditions. However, if there is a low-pressure tire, an alarm over-rides the 5-minute update. When a tire loses 12 1/2% psi, the driver will immediately be notified by an alarm. The monitor will blink the location of that tire and will read out the pressure in the window.

3. At a 12.5% drop from baseline pressure.

4. At a 25% drop from baseline pressure.

5. At the Upper Pressure alert level

6. When a Sensor is removed from its valve stem.

No, settings are always retained unless physically deleted. Monitor displays
3 dashes (- – -) until Sensors send a new updated reading within the normal
5 minute reporting period.

If the green light on Monitor does not come on, make sure the cord is properly
plugged into the Monitor. Make sure the red light on the cord is on and the
cord is plugged into the lighter receptacle. Check the fuse located in the
cigarette lighter end of the cord by unscrewing the black ring (at the silver
tip) of the plug. Replace only with a 2 Amp fast-blow fuse.

Higher radio frequency (RF) transmissions propagate mostly via straight lines
and along line-of-sight pathways. PressurePro™ Sensors are required to
accomplish a daunting task – transmitting from vehicle’s tires to the
Monitor. If a Sensor fails to give a pressure reading, move the Monitor slightly
and wait 5 minutes for new signals to report.

Why after installation do pressure readings drop on display but the actual tire pressure remains correct?

The probable cause is poor interaction between the Sensor and dill valve.?

Try the following procedures separately, in order, until the problem is resolved:

1. Unscrew the Sensor and again, hand-tighten and listen for the release
of air to the Sensor. (Be sure the Sensor and valve stem are not cross-threaded.)

2. Make sure the proper dill valve is installed in your valve stem. Replace
the dill valve if necessary, as it can be worn or defective.

3. If condition still persists, contact your Distributor/Dealer or PressurePro™ .

Make sure the lighter receptacle has power. Some vehicles only have power
when the vehicle is running.

Check that the power cord is plugged in securely to the receptacle on the
Monitor. If the cigarette receptacle is always “hot”, be sure all
connections are secure. A red LED light on the plug is lit when cord is powered.

Check fuse located in the lighter plug-in end of the cord by unscrewing the
black ring (at the silver tip) of the plug. Replace only with a 2 Amp fast-blow
fuse.

Check the vehicle fuse controlling the power source.

The Monitor has the capability of offering pressure values in alternate Metric,
as well as PSI units.

The observation of the erroneous pressure values for all locations can sometimes
be the first indication that the Monitor has been placed into an alternate
Metric pressure unit.

Units can be selected/changed by unplugging the Monitor, then re-powering
while simultaneously holding down the “ON” button.

The alternate unit abbreviations will briefly show in the Monitor’s
read-out window each time you plug in the Monitor.

For North American PressurePro™ users, if the Monitor is not reading
out in “PSI”, change the Metric readout per the above procedure,
until you observe a “PSI” read-out. Wait 5 minutes for all of the
Sensors to send updated readings.

PressurePro has great versatility, in that one can take the Monitor out of
one vehicle and put it in another vehicle, and then move the Sensors to the
other vehicle (as long as they are in the same position), i.e. front left Sensor
goes on the front left of the alternate vehicle etc.

The Monitor remembers the location of the Sensors and will record the new
tire pressures. The PressurePro TPMS system can be used on any import or domestic
car or truck, including Ford, Toyota, etc. (anything with pneumatic tires).
