System Descriptions
Pressure Alert Systems – 2 and 4 wheels – Multi-fit Strap Mount Transmitters
Kit # 060.1004 (4 wheel) Product A
Kit # 060.1002 (2 wheel) Product H
Overview
These kits contain a base receiver, two or four strap mounted transmitters, installation hardware
and documentation for use on tires with a pressure up to 83 PSI (gauge).
The transmitters transmit pressure and temperature data when the vehicle attains a speed of 10
kph. Tire pressure and temperature are checked every six seconds and data is transmitted every 5
minutes.
The receiver annunciates a pressure loss incident at two severity levels. The initial warning
occurs when the pressure has dropped a set amount below the required pressure. A second
warning occurs when the pressure has dropped to a level considered critical to the support of the
vehicle. The affected tire is identified with a colour coded indicator on the receiver,
corresponding to the same colour code on the valve of the respective tire.
An optional serial port can send transmitter data to another customer device.
To install the system use a supplied strap to mount the transmitter on the lowest part of the wheel
well near the valve. Plug the receiver into the cigarette lighter plug with the supplied cable.
