The probe sensor installs in a threaded hole drilled through the wheel of the vehicle. Either a DE-FUZER valve and DE-FUZER wheel adapter assembly or wheel adapter must be attached to the threaded end of the probe sensor. The DE-FUZER valve or wheel adapter are screwed into the wheel and are required to attach the probe sensor to the wheel. The patch mount sensor is a two-piece design which allows the wheel sensor to be removed from the patch mount of a discarded tyre and reinstalled in a replacement tyre. The patch mount can be easily installed in any tubeless OTR tyre, regardless of size or make. The patch mount wheel sensor is a robust design which resists liquid additives, tyre wall flex, and extreme temperatures. The valve mount sensor installs on the outside of a wheel in a threaded hole drilled through the wheel of the vehicle. The valve sensor installs easily onto the patented PT valve system. You can use the valve mount sensor as either the backup to an internally mounted sensor or as the primary sensor for monitoring tyre pressure. Using the valve mount sensor as a backup to the internally installed sensor enables you to defer installation or replacement of an internal tyre sensor until the next tyre changeover. The PT core tool is an optional tool that allows the user to replace a core housing on a wheel without deflating the tyre.

The type of antenna depends on user requirements. Table 9-1 lists the frequencies used by the TyreSense antennas. Antenna overview Table 9-1 Antenna frequencies Antenna RFDATA GSM/GPRS Bluetooth Frequency 916 MHz GSM 850/1900 MHz EGSM 900/1800 MHz 2.4 GHz 9.1 Antenna location The Gen II Receiver Unit supports both direct connect and base mount antennas. All antennas must be properly installed in an unobstructed location to accurately receive and transmit data. TyreSense supplies tuned direct connect antennas with each TyreSense system. If a base mount antenna is required, sufficient coaxial cable length is provided to allow the antenna to be placed in a number of different locations. When choosing a location for any antenna:
mount the antenna such that the possibility of radio transmissions being deflected away from it is reduced mount the antenna such that there is line of sight between the sensors and the antenna ensure that the whip of the antenna is not near a conductor, such as, metal place the antenna in a location where the potential for physical damage is minimized in order to reduce interference, ensure that the antenna is not placed too near any other required antennas on the vehicle 9.2 Antenna and transmission safety precautions 9.2.1 User operation Do not operate your unit when a person is within 20 cm (8 in) of the antenna. A person or object within 20 cm (8 in) of the antenna could impair the call quality and may cause the unit to operate at a higher power level than necessary. Note The unit must be installed in a manner that provides a minimum separation distance of 20 cm
(8 in) or more between the antenna and nearby persons. Note The unit must not be co-located or operate in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter to satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting devices. Note To comply with the FCC RF exposure limits and satisfy the categorical exclusion requirements for mobile transmitters, the requirements described in section 9.2.2 Antenna installation must be met. Gen II TyreSense System Hardware Installation User Guide June 2008 Draft 01 9-1 Antenna overview 9.2.2 Antenna installation The antenna installation must provide a minimum separation distance of 20 cm (8 in) from all users and nearby persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. The combined cable loss and antenna gain must not exceed +7.5 dBi (850 band). The combined cable loss and antenna gain must not exceed +2.5 dBi and total system output must not exceed 2.0W EIRP in the PCS (1900) band in order to comply with the EIRP limit of 24.232 (b). OEM installers must be provided with antenna installation instruction and transmitter operating conditions for satisfying RF exposure compliance. 9-2 June 2008 Draft 01 Gen II TyreSense System Hardware Installation User Guide RFDATA antenna 10 RFDATA antenna The RFDATA antenna receives wireless pressure and temperature transmissions from the wheel sensors installed in the vehicle wheels. The RFDATA antenna does not transmit data. Table 10-1 lists the specifications for the RFDATA antenna. Table 10-1 RFDATA antenna specifications RFDATA antenna Frequency (Fc) Impedance Connector Specification 916 MHz 50 RP-SMA 10.1 Direct connect RFDATA antenna Installing direct connect RFDATA antennas onto the Gen II Receiver Unit reduces antenna installation time and eliminates the need to route antenna cables. Direct connect RFDATA antennas also have the added benefit of eliminating potential damage to both the cable and antenna on a base mount antenna style installed outside the vehicle cabin. The user can install direct connect RFDATA antennas if the Gen II Receiver Unit is mounted immediately above or below a window in the inside of the vehicle cabin. TyreSense recommends that a direct connect RFDATA antenna be used only with sensors that have an external whip antenna, such as, the TyreSense patch mount and flush mount sensors. Figure 10-1 shows the two styles of direct connect RFDATA antennas: right-angle and straight. Figure 10-1 RFDATA direct connect antennas Right-angle TRS-ANTENNA-DIR-ST Straight TRS-ANTENNA-DIR-90 HG0045 HG0046 Gen II TyreSense System Hardware Installation User Guide June 2008 Draft 01 10-1 RFDATA antenna 10.2 Base mount RFDATA antenna The base mount RFDATA antenna has magnetic base for attaching directly to a metallic surface. The base mount antenna includes a 4 m (13.1 ft) RG-174 cable. Figure 10-2 shows an example of dual RFDATA base mount antennas. Figure 10-2 Dual RFDATA base mount antennas HG0004 Note The dual RFDATA base mount antennas are optional. Any requirement for dual RFDATA base mount antennas would depend on the site where the antennas are being installed. 10.3 RFDATA antenna location The RFDATA receiving antenna works best if it is in the line of sight of the sensors from which it is receiving data. The location of the antenna is vehicle dependent, in that the wheel base of the vehicle will influence placement of the antenna. For example, on a coal hauler or wheel loader, the best antenna location is on the roof of the cabin, but on a six-wheel haul truck the best antenna locations are the underside of the cabin, the top of the engine compartment, or the rear window. 10.4 RFDATA antenna installation You can install either a direct connect or magnetic base mount antenna for RF functionality on the Gen II Receiver Unit.

The wheel sensors monitor real-time tyre pressure and temperature for the wheel in which they are installed. The wheel sensors wirelessly transmit the pressure and temperature data to the onboard Gen II Receiver Unit. Once the wheel sensors are installed the tyre must be inflated to more than 55 PSI (379 kPa), in order for the sensor to be activated and enter into the normal state of operation. See section 13.3 Operational states for detailed information about the operational states of the wheel sensors. TyreSense has four types of wheel sensors available for installation in the tyres of a vehicle. Table 13-1 TyreSense wheel sensor types Typical Flush mount sensor Probe sensor Patch mount sensor Valve mount sensor Description The flush mount sensor installs in a threaded hole drilled through the wheel of the vehicle. The flush mount sensor protrudes a minimum distance into the tyre cavity making it ideally suited for vertical tyre changeovers as it does not need to be removed from the wheel. The probe sensor installs in a threaded hole drilled through the wheel of the vehicle. Either a DE-FUZER valve and DE-FUZER wheel adapter assembly or wheel adapter must be attached to the threaded end of the probe sensor. Either the DE-FUZER valve or wheel adapter screw into the wheel and is required to attach the probe sensor to the wheel. The patch mount sensor is a two-piece design which allows the wheel sensor to be removed from the patch mount of a discarded tyre and reinstalled in a replacement tyre. The patch mount can be easily installed in any tubeless OTR tyre, regardless of size or make. The patch mount wheel sensor is a robust design which resists liquid additives, tyre wall flex, and extreme temperatures. The valve mount sensor installs on the outside of a wheel in a threaded hole drilled through the wheel of the vehicle. The valve sensor installs easily onto the patented PT valve system. You can use the valve mount sensor as either the backup to an internally mounted sensor or as the primary sensor for monitoring tyre pressure. Using the valve mount sensor as a backup to the internally installed sensor enables you to defer installation or replacement of an internal tyre sensor until the next tyre changeover. Chapter 14 15 16 17 13.1 Technical specifications The TyreSense wheel sensors measure tyre pressure and temperature changes in the following ranges:
Pressure: 15 to 189 PSI (100 to 1300 kPa) Temperature: 20 to 107 C (4 to 225 F) Note Unless otherwise noted all pressure values are gauge values. Gen II TyreSense System Hardware Installation User Guide June 2008 Draft 01 13-1 Wheel sensors recommended operating conditions The sensors are designed for heavy vehicle TPMS applications. The specifications for the sensors include the following:
maximum pressure and temperature ratings performance ratings battery radio frequency Caution Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect the reliability of the sensors. The maximum ratings are absolute ratings; exceeding any of the maximum values can cause irreversible damage to the sensors.

The wheel sensors check both pressure and temperature in the wheel in all operational states. The temperature is only checked with every second pressure reading. The pressure and temperature information is transmitted at the same time to the Gen II Receiver Unit. Table 13-9 Operational states State Storage state Initial state Normal state Burst state Description Wheel sensors are shipped and received by the user in storage state. The only activity in the wheel sensor in storage state is a check of the surrounding pressure every 240 seconds. If the surrounding pressure is less than or equal to 55 PSI (379 kPa), the wheel sensor remains in storage state. If the pressure is greater than 55 PSI (379 kPa) the wheel sensor enters initial state. The wheel sensor will only transmit information in storage state if it is induced. The user can induce the sensor by passing a magnet across the sensor to force a transmission. In initial state the wheel sensor checks the surrounding pressure every 1 second. If the surrounding pressure is less than or equal to 55 PSI (379 kPa) after 120 seconds, the wheel sensor reverts to storage state. If the surrounding pressure is greater than 55 PSI (379 kPa) for more than 120 seconds the sensor enters normal state. Once the wheel sensors have entered normal state they cannot revert back to either initial or storage state. In normal state the wheel sensors check the surrounding pressure every 3 seconds and the temperature every 6 seconds. The sensors transmit the data to the Gen II Receiver Unit every 4 minutes. If there is a pressure change of more than 1.5 PSI (10 kPa), the wheel sensors immediately transmit the change to the Gen II Receiver Unit. If the surrounding pressure changes by more than 8 PSI (55 kPa) in 4 minutes the wheel sensor enters burst state. In burst state the wheel sensor checks and transmits the surrounding pressure and temperature to the Gen II Receiver Unit every 1 second. The wheel sensors remain in burst state for 20 seconds and then re-enter normal state. If the large pressure changes in the tyre continue after the wheel sensor returns to normal state it re-enters burst state. 13.4 Thread-in sensors This section describes the thread-in sensor types and installation locations. 13.4.1 Thread-in sensor types The TyreSense thread-in sensors are the flush mount and probe sensors. See Table 13-1 for a description of the sensors. Gen II TyreSense System Hardware Installation User Guide June 2008 Draft 01 13-5 Wheel sensors 13.4.2 Thread-in sensor locations The thread-in sensors are installed in threaded holes drilled through the wheel of the vehicle. Many of the wheels supplied by Rimex Supply Ltd. are pre-drilled and threaded. If the vehicle wheel has no pre-drilled holes, contact your TyreSense representative. The installer must consider the required clearance for the sensor type being installed, before drilling and taping holes in the wheels. Both thread-in sensor types must be located such that they are not underneath the bead seat band. Adequate clearance must also be considered on the inside of the wheel for braking and drive components. Figure 13-2 shows an example of the installed wheel adapter, DE-FUZER valve, and flush mount sensor and lists the required installed height clearances on the inside of the wheel. Figure 13-2 Height clearances inside of the wheel 1. 2. 3. Probe sensor installed on 2 cm ( in. NPT) wheel adapter requires 1.5 cm (0.6 in.) clearance. Probe sensor installed with a DE-FUZER valve requires 3.2 cm (1.25 in.) clearance. Flush sensor requires 3.8 cm (1.5 in.) clearance. HG0014 13-6 June 2008 Draft 01 Gen II TyreSense System Hardware Installation User Guide Flush mount sensor 14 Flush mount sensor The flush mount sensor protrudes a minimum distance into the tyre cavity and is ideally suited for vertical tyre changeovers as it does not need to be removed from the wheel once it is installed. The distance that the flush mount sensor protrudes into the tyre cavity is dependent on the thickness of the tyre. As well, there is minimum chance of damage to the sensor when the tyre is demounted from the wheel. Install the flush mount sensor in situations where there is low clearance between the wheel and the rim. The flush mount sensor installs in a threaded hole drilled in many of the wheels supplied by Rimex Supply Ltd. If the wheel has no pre-drilled holes, contact your TyreSense representative. 14.1 Flush mount sensor installation When you install the flush mount sensor, TyreSense recommends using Teflon tape on the threads of the flush mount sensor. The Teflon tape provides a positive air seal for the sensor; whereas, paste or liquids do not provide the same positive air seal. When wrapping Teflon tape on the threads of the flush mount sensor ensure that you have a minimum of four wraps around the threads for a heavy Teflon tape and a minimum of six wraps for a light Teflon tape. Caution If a leak is detected after the tyre is inflated, you must deflate the tyre, remove the sensor, remove the original Teflon tape, ensure the threads are clean, re-apply the Teflon tape, and re-install the sensor. Caution Do not over-torque the flush mount sensor. If too much pressure is applied to the sensor, it could be damaged resulting in no or incorrect pressure and temperature data. The maximum torque for the flush mount sensor 101.7 Nm (75 lbfft). 14.1.1 Hardware You need the following hardware:
Flush mount sensor Part number: TRS-SENSOR3-4NPT Teflon tape:
Part number: TRS-TEFLON-TP 14.1.2 Tools You need the following tool:
Torque wrench Procedure Install the flush mount sensor 1. Ensure that there is a pre-drilled hole in the wheel for installing the sensor. 2. Wrap Teflon tape onto the 2 cm ( in. NPT) threads of the flush mount sensor. 3. Screw the flush mount sensor into the hole in the wheel, ensuring that the end of the sensor with the ID is on the outside of the wheel and the antenna is on the inside of the wheel. 4. Torque the flush mount sensor to a maximum of 101.7 Nm (75 lbfft). Gen II TyreSense System Hardware Installation User Guide June 2008 Draft 01 14-1 Flush mount sensor 14-2 June 2008 Draft 01 Gen II TyreSense System Hardware Installation User Guide 15 Probe sensor The probe sensor is installed in a threaded hole drilled through the wheel of the vehicle and monitors tyre pressure and temperature for the wheel in which it is installed. The probe sensor installs in a threaded hole drilled in many of the wheels supplied by Rimex Supply Ltd. If the wheel has no pre-drilled holes, contact your TyreSense representative. Figure 15-1 Probe sensor (TRS-SENSOR-TH) Probe sensor HG0017 You must attach either a DE-FUZER valve and DE-FUZER wheel adapter assembly or wheel adapter to the threaded end of the probe sensor. One of either a DE-FUZER valve and DE-FUZER adapter collar assembly or a wheel adapter is required in order to attach the probe sensor to the wheel. 15.1 DE-FUZER valve The DE-FUZER valve is a temperature, 392 C (200 F), sensitive pressure, 190 PSI (1310 kPa), relief valve designed to release potentially lethal air pressure build-up before catastrophic wheel failure can occur. You can install the optional DE-FUZER valve in all off-highway tubeless OTR wheels with a 0.6 m (2 ft.) or greater diameter. The DE-FUZER valve is attached to a DE-FUZER adapter collar which is in turn connected to the probe sensor. Figure 15-2 shows the DE-FUZER valve. Figure 15-2 DE-FUZER valve (TRS-DE-FUZER-TH) HG0016 The DE-FUZER valve threads onto the DE-FUZER adapter collar. The outside threads of the DE-FUZER valve allow the assembled DE-FUZER valve and DE-FUZER adapter collar assembly to be screwed into the wheel of the vehicle. Gen II TyreSense System Hardware Installation User Guide June 2008 Draft 01 15-1 Probe sensor 15.2 DE-FUZER adapter collar The DE-FUZER adapter collar enables maximum air flow out of the tyre through the DE-FUZER valve in the event of a pressure build up. Figure 15-3 shows the DE-FUZER adapter collar. Figure 15-3 DE-FUZER adapter collar (TRS-COLLAR-TH) HG0037 15.3 Wheel adapter The wheel adapter is a cap that, when installed, closes off the open end of the probe sensor. The probe sensor threads into the wheel adapter. Figure 15-4 shows the wheel adapter. Figure 15-4 Wheel adapter (TRS-3-4-ADP) HG0015 The probe sensor threads through the 2 cm ( in. NPT) pre-drilled hole inside the wheel. The threads on the outside of the wheel adapter allow the assembled probe sensor and wheel adapter to be screwed into the wheel of the vehicle. 15.4 Installation The probe sensor protrudes several inches into the tyre cavity; therefore, install the sensor only after the tyre has been mounted on the rim. As well, remove the sensor from the wheel before the tyre is demounted. You can install the probe sensor on any wheel with a minimum of 10 cm (4 in.) of clearance for inserting the probe sensor into the wheel. 15-2 June 2008 Draft 01 Gen II TyreSense System Hardware Installation User Guide Probe sensor 15.5 Clearance Table 15-1 lists clearance requirements for installing the probe sensor.

Gen II TyreSense System Hardware Installation User Guide June 2008 Draft 01 15-7 Probe sensor 15-8 June 2008 Draft 01 Gen II TyreSense System Hardware Installation User Guide Patch mount sensor 16 Patch mount sensor The TyreSense patch mount system is a two-piece design which allows the wheel sensor to be installed on a patch mount in any tubeless OTR tyre, regardless of size or make. The wheel sensor can also be removed from the patch mount of a discarded tyre and reinstalled in a replacement tyre. The patch mount wheel sensor is a robust design which resists liquid additives, tyre wall flex, and extreme temperatures. 16.1 Patch sensor installation The patch mount must be installed on the bead bundle of the tyre on the side of the wheel assembly with the lock ring;
see Figure 16-1t Caution If the patch mount is installed on the bead bundle on the side of the tyre opposite to the wheel assembly and lock ring damage may occur to the patch mount wheel sensor when the tyre is removed from the wheel assembly. Note The bead bundle area of the tyre experiences the least amount of flex during operation. Installing the patch mount on any other area of the tyre could cause it to fatigue and possibly fail. Figure 16-1 Wheel assembly cutaway PM0004 Note A typical repair patch is rated for 5,000 hours use. This rating does not apply to the TyreSense patch mount as the patch mount is not for the purpose of repairing a damaged tyre. Gen II TyreSense System Hardware Installation User Guide June 2008 Draft 01 16-1 Patch mount sensor 16.1.1 Temperature The recommended ambient and tyre temperature range for installing the TyreSense patch mount is between 10 C
(50 F) (10C) to 30 C (86 F). Note A tyre should be in the temperature range of 5 C (41 F) to 50 C (122 F) in order to properly vulcanize a patch to the tyre. 16.1.2 Wheel Sensor IDs Each of the patch mount wheel sensors has a unique ID. Before the wheel sensors are installed in the tyres, the installer must record the four-digit wheel sensor ID and the tyre in which the wheel sensor is installed. 16.1.3 Hardware You need the following hardware:
TyreSense patch mount; see Figure 16-2 Part number: TRS-PATCH TyreSense patch mount wheel sensor; see Figure 16-2 Part number: TRS-SENSOR-PATCH Caution Use only the patch mount supplied by TyreSense. TyreSense does not warranty any other patches. Caution A substituted patch will result in failure of the patch mount wheel sensor.

Procedure Install the patch mount 1. Clean the area on the bead bundle where the patch mount is to be installed with an acetone solution to remove any mold residue left from the manufacturing process. Figure 16-3 shows the location of the patch on the tyre. Figure 16-3 Location of installed patch mount sensor You can use either an S4 scraper or a clean cloth to clean the area; an S4 liner scraper is recommended. The prepared surface must be clean and dry. HG0044 Gen II TyreSense System Hardware Installation User Guide June 2008 Draft 01 16-3 Patch mount sensor 2. Using a grinding stone, roughen the surface of the tyre where the patch is being installed. Caution The installer must ensure that the tyre cords are not exposed while preparing the surface of the tyre. Roughen the surface only enough to remove any ridges or high spots. Note The surface being prepared must remain dull without becoming gummy or shiny. The rubber shavings should come off dry. Note The surface of the tyre will become gummy if there is excessive heat in the tyre or the speed of the grinding stone is set too high. If the prepared surface becomes gummy allow the tyre to cool and reduce the speed of the grinding stone. Figure 16-4 shows an example of the roughened surface of a tyre. Figure 16-4 Prepared tyre surface 3. Verify that the prepared area is clear of all debris from the grinding. If necessary, clean the area again with the acetone solution. 4.

Figure 16-6 Installed patch mount wheel sensor PM0009 16-6 June 2008 Draft 01 Gen II TyreSense System Hardware Installation User Guide Valve mount sensor 17 Valve mount sensor The external mount valve sensor monitors tyre pressure and temperature for the wheel on which it is installed. The valve mount sensor installs on a PT type valve on the exterior of all wheel types. You can use the valve mount sensor either as a backup for an internally installed sensor or leave it permanently in place as the primary sensor for monitoring tyre pressure and temperature. Using the TyreSense valve mount sensor as a backup to the internally installed sensor enables you to defer installation or replacement of an internal tyre sensor until the next tyre changeover. Note The valve mount sensor does not accurately measure internal tyre air temperature. The temperature measured is the radiated temperature of the wheel. Figure 17-1 shows the TyreSense valve mount sensor. Figure 17-1 Valve mount sensor (TRS-SENSOR-VLVE) 17.1 PT valve system HG0013 The patented PT valve system is a universal method of installing a variety of tyre monitoring devices. The PT valve system allows you to easily remove the PT valve block-off collar and install the TyreSense valve mount sensor. The valve mount sensor is interchangeable and compatible with all PT valve styles and installs on any large bore, super large bore, and Z-bore tyre valve. See Appendix B Part numbers for information on ordering Haltec PT and non-PT valves. Note TyreSense does not recommend installing a TyreSense valve mount sensor on a mega bore valve. TyreSense recommends switching the valve type to a Z-bore valve. 17.2 Valve mount sensor installation TyreSense recommends installing the valve mount sensor directly onto a PT style valve. If necessary, you can replace the existing valve hardware on a tyre with PT style valves. On super large bore and Z-bore applications you can install Gen II TyreSense System Hardware Installation User Guide June 2008 Draft 01 17-1 Valve mount sensor the PT style valve without deflating the tyre by using the TyreSense PT core tool; see Procedure Remove and replace a core housing. Once installed, you can rotate the valve mount sensor, as required, in a 360 circle around the stem of the valve. The easy adjustment of the valve mount sensor allows you to position it such that it cannot be damaged in the normal course of the functioning of the tyre. Also, if required, you can easily replace the valve mount sensor. 17.2.1 Hardware You need the following hardware:
