Cold Inflation Pressure Low Pressure Warning Pressure Deviation Alert High Temperature Warning 125 PSI 110 PSI 10 PSI 195 F Warnings This tire monitoring system does not in any way replace the need for regular maintenance of the tire pressures and tire conditions. System Installation and Usage Use of the SmarTire system requires that it has been properly installed and programmed by qualified personnel according to SmarTire Systems Inc. documentation. This includes the Owners Manual and any supplementary installation instructions included with system components. Use of Chemicals Temporary resealing or reinflation products containing internal sealers or propellants in any tire/wheel assembly may adversely affect the operation of the Sensor/Transmitters. Reacting to Alerts When an alert or warning condition is detected, reduce vehicle speed to an appropriate safe level and proceed to a safe stopping location or facility where the tire can be inspected and serviced. The low pressure alert or warning indicates that the air pressure has dropped to a selected minimum. Installation of Transmitters 1. Slide the stainless steel straps through each of the Transmitters. 2. Dismount tire from wheel. 3. Position strap/Transmitter assembly around wheel at the lowest point of the drop-center. See Figures 1 and 2. 4. The strap transmitter is to be positioned 3 from the worm gear 5. Position the Transmitter at the valve stem opening then pull strap tight. Push in on the worm gear nut to hold the position. 6. Tighten with 5/16 nut driver or screwdriver until Transmitter is secure (35 pounds torque). 7. Cut excess strap leaving 1 past the worm gear. 8. Mount tire being careful not to pinch the Transmitter with the bead of the tire. 9. Balance the tire. 10. Mount the tire on the vehicle. Installation of Receiver and Full Function Display 1. Install the antenna according to instructions in the antenna kit. 2. Find a suitable location for the Receiver and Full Function Display assembly. The Receiver is normally installed behind the dashboard. The Full Function Display is assembled somewhere on or in the dashboard. 3. Wire the system as shown in Figure 5. Plug the Full Function Display into the left plug of the Receiver. Plug the power cable into right side plug. 4. The red wire of the power cable connects to a positive fused connection. The black wire connects to ground. Note: All connections must be made with the vehicle battery isolated Testing the System 1. Turn on the ignition switch and verify that the Receiver beeps three times and the FFD turns on. 2. Reduce the air in a tire to 3 PSI below the alert level (15 PSI or 1.03 BAR), and verify that the warning light of the FFD turns on. 3. Re-inflate the tire. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for remaining tire positions. 5. In cases where the settings are not appropriate to the installation, use the FFD manual to program the system to the desired settings.
