1. INTRODUCTION The SmarTire™ TPMS by Bendix CVS LF tool is a handheld device designed to provoke data transmissions from SmarTire™ sensors.
Transmission End: This part of the tool must be pointed towards the tire to initiate or learn a sensor. Learn LED: The learn LED will be ON (green) as long as the learn mode is selected. When pressing the learn button, the LED will blink rapidly for 5 seconds and then change to one blink per second after the learn transmission has been completed. Initiate LED: The initiate LED will be ON (green) as long as the initiate mode is selected.
3. GETTING STARTED The SmarTire™ by Bendix CVS LF tool is powered by a standard 9-Volt battery. To install the battery, open the battery access panel on the back of the tool and connect the supplied battery to the 9-Volt battery connector. Insert the battery into the slot and close the battery access panel. Press and hold the ON/OFF button for 2 seconds to power up the tool. 4. USING THE SMARTIRE™ LF TOOL The SmarTire™ LF tool is very easy to use.
For dual-wheel assemblies, position the SmarTire™ by Bendix CVS LF tool approximately 2 inches (5 cm) away from the tire’s surface positioned at the center of the outboard tire’s sidewall opposite the valve stem. The transmission from the tool will pass through the outboard tire and provoke a data transmission from the sensor mounted on the inboard tire. NOTE: Dual-wheel assemblies should always be mounted with valve stems 180° opposite each other. 5. PROGRAMMING SENSOR ID NUMBERS 5.1.
6. Press and release the initiate/learn button once & hold LF initiator tool in position for 5 seconds until the 4 rapid beeps are heard. Do not hold down the initiate/learn button. 7. When completed correctly, the user interface should indicate “learn complete”. Two possible error conditions are: Learn Time Out: A learn transmission was not provoked fast enough and the system timed out. Repeat the learn process.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
