You cannot rely on this system as a means of omitting any undertaking of these activities or responsibilities. It is also the case for the tyre pressure monitoring system that all normal inspection & maintenance procedures are adhered to. No Liability can be offered by Wheely Safe Ltd for any loss or damages incurred as a result of the devices being fitted. WORKING TEMPERATURES OF THE SYSTEM Solar receiver -20C upto 65C Solar booster -20C upto 80C TPMS sensor - 40C upto 120C Wheel loss sensor - 40C upto 120C fitment information NOTE:
It is important that these devices are fitted in the correct locations (as per the enclosed pictures) for ease of identifying. All sensors are colour coded as per vehicle positions to ease early identification in an alert situation, being Black sensors (front) of vehicle, e.g. in a 2x axle bus, black sensors on the front axle and for a tractor/trailer, the black sensors will be on the tractor unit. The rear sensors will be Blue in colour. If you are fitting the Tyre Pressure sensors to inner wheels, make sure you have Brass extensions fitted (NOT PLASTIC- AS THESE DO NOT EMIT AIR FOR THE SENSOR TO MONITOR THE TYRE) 2 contents:

The Black Wire is connected to a Ground wire (Negative). Consult manufacturers wiring guidelines where applicable to avoid any warranty issues. Remove the backing from the adhesive pad at the rear of the receiver taking care not to touch the adhesive surface. The receiver should be mounted on a clean even flat surface so that it does not obscure the view of the road or any instrumentation but is clearly visible to the driver from a normal driving position. ENSURE THAT THERE ARE NO TRAILING WIRES AFTER INSTALLATION. Normal Operation Mode The Michelin Logo will be permanently lit WHITE. Stationary Sleep Mode When the vehicle is stationary for more than 15 minutes and with the ignition on the receiver will go into Stationary Sleep Mode. No Lights will be on at all in this mode. No Power If the receiver has no power during a journey then the Michelin Logo will not be lit. This situation must be remedied by reconnecting to the power source. 4 fitment of the SOLAR receiver Remove the backing from the adhesive pad at the rear of the receiver taking care not to touch the adhesive surface. Find the ideal position for the receiver on the windscreen (ideally towards the top of the windscreen) ensuring that it is outside the wiper sweep. Ensure the solar panel is not blocked by the black border that exists around many windscreens. The area of the windscreen where the receiver is to be fitted should be clean and free from dust or grease. Place the receiver in the correct position and push firmly against the widscreen, holding and pushing for up to 10 seconds. Normal Operation Mode The power icon will flash once every 30 seconds when in journey mode. Low power When the solar receiver has less than 15% power the power icon will flash red every 10 seconds. To charge the solar receiver plug the charger into the side of the receiver and connect to a power source. The power icon will stay permanently white when fully charged. Stationary Sleep Mode When the vehicle is stationary for more than 15 minutes the receiver will go into Stationary Sleep Mode. No Lights will be on at all in this mode. 5 fitment of wheel loss sensor and bracket PREPARING & PLANNING TO FIT THE WHEEL LOSS SENSORS & BRACKETS Get 2 sensors and brackets for each outer wheel ready to fit Note:
If the wheel fixing has a conical or spherical stud fixing, please contact Wheely-Safe prior to installing the system, for guidance. sensors : Black for front - blue for rear black for FRONT blue for rear The top of the sensor is identified by a Michelin logo. 6 The black sensors are fitted on the front (tractor) wheels and blue sensors fitted to rear (trailer) wheels. For rigid vehicles, coaches & buses: Black at front, Blue at rear Different coloured sensors make it easer to identify the fault when an alert occurs on the receiver and to assist the driver/engineer in locating where the fault may lie on the vehicle. This is in addition to the sensor also flashing for 3 minutes. 7 fitment of wheel loss sensor and bracket continued illus jacking wheel up The wheel that requires the wheel loss system to be fitted must be jacked up so that the tyre is off the ground. Remove all nuts and the wheel. 8 Both the mating face of the wheel rim and bracket should be clean and free from dirt, paint, rust and grease. Put the wheel back on to the hub. 9 fitment of wheel loss sensor and bracket - continued WHEN FITTED CORRECTLY THE TOP OF THE SENSOR WILL PROTRUDE SLIGHTLY ABOVE THE BRACKET. 10 Position the sensor and brackets diagonally opposite each other. When fitting and tightening the wheel nuts, and in its clamped position, the sensor LED will flash 7 times for 18 seconds This is the indication that the sensor is activated and the user can have the confidence that the Michelin Wheel Security System is working. 11 fitment of wheel loss sensor and bracket - continued REFER TO A RECOGNISED INDUSTRY STANDARD WHEEL SECURITY BEST PRACTICE GUIDELINE FOR NUT TIGHTENING SEQUENCE. 12 Then follow your own proven wheel security procedure IMPORTANT Failure to release the clamping force of ALL the wheel nuts and only releasing the clamping force of the nuts required to fit the brackets could result in a torque imbalance. Any torque imbalance then has the potential to result in nuts coming loose in a very short journey time. Note: **On Completion of fitting the Bracket & Sensor**
All wheels changed/disturbed must be rechecked for tightness before entering service and a torque wrench must be used for checking wheel nut tightness to manufacturers guidelines. Then your own company Wheel removal Maintenance & Walk round procedures/policies must be adopted for ongoing checks thereafter. 13 fitment of tyre pressure monitoring sensors (TPMS) PLEASE ENSURE THAT ONLY BRASS EXTENSIONS ARE USED FOR INNER WHEELS WHEN FITTING SENSORS (NOT PLASTIC- AS THESE DO NOT EMIT AIR FOR THE SENSOR TO MONITOR) Fitment information When fitting the TPMS sensor you should ensure that IT is not touching the wheel rim. The black sensors are fitted on the front (tractor) wheels and blue sensors fitted to rear (trailer) wheels. For rigid vehicles, coaches & buses: Black at front, Blue at rear Different coloured sensors make it easer to identify the fault when an alert occurs on the receiver and to assist the driver/engineer in locating where the fault may lie on the vehicle. This is in addition to the sensor also flashing for 3 minutes. 14 MICHELIN TYRE INFLATEv3.pdf 1 15/05/2017 12:51 Remove the dust cap Check the tyre pressure is correct before fitting the TPMS sensor. The target pressure is for the normal COLD operating temperature recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. 15 fitment of tyre pressure monitoring sensors (TPMS) continued Twist on the sensor ( finger tight) Check for the red LED flashing while the clever sensor self-calibrates to the current tyre pressure. 16 OPTIONAL:
If using anti-theft nuts attach these to the tyre valve by screwing the nut onto the valve ensuring you leave enough thread so that the TPMS sensor can be fully screwed onto the tyre valve. Screw the TPMS sensor onto the valve and then using the lock nut tool tighten the nut back towards the TPMS sensor until tight. During the tightening process it is imperative that you hold the TPMS sensor in place to stop it sensor gasket replacement For your information, If the gasket is damaged or perished during the 12-month warranty period the customer needs to replace it with the spare one that will be provided when they first purchase the product. 17 fitment of fused signal booster (wired) Function:
To boost the signal from the rear wheel sensors to receiver. note: fit one booster to either side of the vehicle. 2 x boosters for trailers and rigid chassis. None required for tractor units. The signal booster is fitted as close to the rear most sensor (wheel loss or TPMS) as possible. This area will normally be the rear most axle. You are not required to fit a booster on the tractor unit. RED Wire: connect to vehicle 12V/24V power supply directly(12~24V) Black Wire: connect to Ground wire. On rigid vehicles , where possible, connect to a permanent power source so that the booster is powered when the ignition is off. For trailer fitment please wire into a positive feed and test by connecting to a suitable tractor unit. Fitting position - Rigid 18 Fitting position - Rigid twin axle Fitting position - Trailer 19 fitment of signal booster (solar) The solar booster should be fitted externally in an area that is close to the rear most sensors and is visible to daylight. Because of the vast variance in trailers and rigid vehicles a degree of common sense needs to be applied. Fit 2 x boosters, one each side of a rigid vehicle or trailer (note, boosters are not required for tractor units) Fit in an area that is close to the rear most sensors which can be above them, in-front of or behind them. The roof can be considered as an option. The rear of the vehicle should also be considered as an option if there is no other obvious area available. Metallic or glass surfaces are acceptable as a fitting surface, with a none metallic surface being preferred. The fitting area should be cleaned and free from rust/dirt/
grease. Note:
Fit one booster, externally, to either side OR TO THE REAR of the vehicle. POSITION OPTION 1 POSITION OPTION 2 The signal booster should be fitted as close to the rear TPMS/Wheel loss sensor as possible. 20 POSITION OPTION 3 POSITION OPTION 4 The signal booster should be fitted as close to the rear TPMS/Wheel loss sensor as possible. The booster should be positioned so that the solar panel is facing up-wards. Having the solar panel facing sideways is acceptable, but the booster solar panel facing down is not recommended. Switching on the Solar Powered Booster. Hold the pressure checker directly above the battery icon for 5 seconds. The power light will flash and the solar powered booster is now active. 21 telematics receiver modules (wired) Note that the TRM looks similar to the booster, please refer to the typical id number RP03 on the back of the TRM wired version There are 4 wires for this type of TRM - connect as below:
TX (green wire) RX (yellow wire) Power supply + (red wire) Power supply - (black wire) 22 telematics receiver modules (bluetooth) The solar powered receiver has Blue Tooth built in allowing data transmission to telematic systems. Bluetooth version 23 Pressure checker TURN ON Insert 2 AAA batteries in the Pressure Checker. Press down the Power button for 3 seconds and the Pressure Checker will Power up with a bleep sound. The battery indicator in the bottom right of the screen shows the remaining powerlevel of the AAA batteries. CHANGE UNITS Factory setting is in psi. To change to display pressures to bar, press the Power button five times quickly, and to returnthe setting to psi, press 5 times again. TYRE PRESSURE MEASUREMENT Place the MICHELIN man logo of the pressure checker over the MICHELIN logo on the TPMS sensor (you will feel a magnetic pull). Within 5 seconds the TPMS sensor will detect the presence of the pressure checker. The TPMS sensor will flash RED once and the current tyre pressure and sensor battery level will be displayed on the pressure checker. 24 PRESSURE CHECKER WARNING SIGNALS When checking a tyre pressure prior to the start of the journey if the tyre pressure has fallen below 15% of the calibrated pressure the pressure checker will flash. If the calibrated pressure has fallen below 24% the pressure checker will flash and bleep. RECENT HUB TEMPERATURE Place the MICHELIN man logo of the pressure checker over the wheel loss sensor and the highest hub temperature in C within the last 24 hours will be displayed on the pressure checker. Note Access to a pressure checker is required to read the remaining battery life of both the wheel loss and tyre pressure management sensors. The battery life will be displayed on the battery indicator when the checker is presented to the sensor. 25 Care and maintenance Regular checks should be made to ensure that the solar cells on the booster are not covered and should be kept clean using a pH neutral cleaner. All sensors should also be kept clean so that any flashing LED warning will be visible. 30 26 FCC Warnning:
