Manufacturing LLC 360RV USER MANUAL PLEASE READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT. The DORAN 360RV is designed solely to monitor tire pressure. It is not designed to provide warning of a potential or actual tire blowout. The National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration considers a tire flat when the pressure is 25% below the tire manufacturers' recommended operating pressure.
TABLE OF CONTENTS I. Introduction to the Doran 360RV-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------1 Components------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 Glossary of Terms----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 II. Setup and Installation 1.
I. INTRODUCTION The Doran 360RV is a full-time wireless electronic tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) designed to monitor and display tire pressures from 10 psi up to 188 psi. It is capable of displaying current tire pressure on demand, whether moving or stationary. The 360RV is a monitoring system and will not prevent tires from losing pressure or failing.
I. INTRODUCTION Tires can fail for other reasons besides low pressure or overloading.
II. SETUP AND INSTALLATION 1. Monitor Installation The 360RV gives the user multiple options for mounting the monitor for viewing. You have the option to place on the sun visor, attach to the windshield, fasten to the dash, attach using the pedestal mount, or the ability to use the hook and loop pads to fasten the monitor to a flat surface.
II. SETUP AND INSTALLATION The monitor is fused internally, however some installers would still prefer to install an inline fuse for precautions. We suggest an optional 2-amp fast blow fuse be used for this purpose. The first time the monitor is powered up the display will show NSP . This is saying that there are No Sensors Programmed to the monitor. It could be that the sensors that were programmed to the monitor have not reported in to the monitor in order to lock the sensors into the memory.
II. SETUP AND INSTALLATION A. Programming the Sensor Location 1. Be sure that the power is on. The first time the monitor is switched on; the display should show NSP .This will signify that no sensor is programmed, or the monitor has not received a new sensor signal yet. If this is the case it could take up to 6 minutes for the sensor to report in if it is already attached to the valve stem. You will now need to enter into the programming mode if you need to add sensors to the monitor.
II. SETUP AND INSTALLATION 4. Using the arrow keys select the first tire position that you want to program. The selected wheel location will be solid. The other wheel positions will only be an outline. If sensors have already been programmed to the monitor, the only sensor locations that will be displayed will be the ones that do not have a sensor already programmed to it. When you have selected the position that you want to program a sensor to, press the SET button for 3 seconds.
II. SETUP AND INSTALLATION 10. Once you have completed the sensor programming sequence for all tires, press the PROG button momentarily to move to the next step, this will be the Base Line Pressure Programming. The monitor will display as shown in Figure 2-7. If you are completely done with all of the programming operations you can press the PROG button for 5 seconds and the monitor will return to the normal mode of operation.
II. SETUP AND INSTALLATION 188 PSI,depending on your needs. Each wheel position can be set with a different baseline air pressure if this is what is needed. The monitor has been pre-programmed for 100 PSI at each wheel position. If this is the baseline air pressure that you need then you will not have to do anything in this mode and can press the PROG button and go to the next step. If you need to change the baseline air pressure for a wheel position, continue with Steps 1-4 below: Figure 2-9 1.
II. SETUP AND INSTALLATION NOTE: To skip this section and go directly to Programming the Unit of Measure section, just press the PROG button briefly 1 time. The display should look like Figure 2-17. Anytime during this mode you can escape out to the next program mode by pressing the PROG momentarily. 1. The first thing that you will adjust is the Year (Y). Pressing the SET button for 3 seconds will cause the center digit after the Y to flash (see Figure 2-11).
II. SETUP AND INSTALLATION SET button for 3 seconds until the monitor beeps twice and the display flashes twice. The display is shown like Figure 2-14. 4. To adjust the hour (h) you will need to press and hold the SET button until the center digit flashes. Keep in mind that the hour will be displayed as a 24hour clock. An example is that 3:00 in the afternoon will be shown on the clock as h15. Pressing the up and down arrow buttons will adjust the value of this digit.
II. SETUP AND INSTALLATION D. Programming the Unit of Measure NOTE: To enter directly into this program mode you will need to press the PROG button for 5 seconds until the PROGRAM is displayed. Then press the PROG button again briefly 3 times to enter this mode (see Figure 2-17 for screen display). Figure 2-17 NOTE: To skip this section and go directly to the Sensor Deletion mode just press the PROG button briefly 1 time. The display should look like Figure 2-20.
II. SETUP AND INSTALLATION E. Delete Sensor Location This step is only used when a sensor is to be removed from the memory of the monitor. This would be used to remove a sensor from one position and locate it to a different location, or to remove a sensor. If deleting a sensor is not necessary at this time, please see the second note below: NOTE: To enter directly into this program mode you will need to press the PROG button for 5 seconds until the PROGRAM is displayed.
II. SETUP AND INSTALLATION 3. If you have additional sensors that need to be deleted repeat the steps until all required sensors are deleted. If you need to program deleted sensors to a different location, or add new sensors to the monitor's memory simply press the PROG button twice to enter into the Programming Sensor Location mode (see page 7). 4. When you are finished press the PROG button to enter into the HIGH PRESSURE program mode, which is the last item to program.
II. SETUP AND INSTALLATION 3. Pressing the PROG button briefly will rotate you back through the different programming modes. If you are done with the programming operation you can press the PROG button for 3 seconds and the monitor will automatically return to the normal operation mode. This can be done in any section of the program mode when the programming is completed. III. INSTALLING THE SENSORS ON THE VEHICLE The monitor should now be turned on and it should be in the normal operation mode.
III. INSTALLING THE SENSORS ON THE VEHICLE Keep in mind that tire pressures will increase as you drive. When tires are in motion, the sidewalls are under stress carrying the load of the vehicle. This energy created by the tires develops heat, which causes the air in the tires to expand. This can cause air pressure to increase as much as 10 psi in Figure 3-3 certain applications. This is normal, and the manufacturers' recommended cold running pressures have already taken this into consideration.
III. INSTALLING THE SENSORS ON THE VEHICLE 4. If the monitor continues to search for a sensor after 10 minutes it is possible that the sensor may not be programmed properly. Higher radio frequency (RF) transmissions travel mostly via straight lines and along line-of-sight pathways. The 360RV sensors are required to accomplish the difficult task of transmitting a low power FCC approved signal from vehicles' tires to the monitor. If a sensor fails to be recognized, move the monitor slightly.
IV. ALARM MODES 1. FIRST STAGE ALARM FOR 12.5% LOW AIR PRESSURE: On a first level low pressure alarm the monitor will alarm at 12.5% below the programmed base line air pressure. When this happens the backlight on the monitor screen will light up. The green LED light will go out, the Red warning light will begin to flash and the audible beeper will cycle at 1 flash or beep per second, the alarmed wheel position will be displayed.
IV. ALARM MODES the words LOW PRESSURE until the problem is corrected. If the alarm comes on and the FAST LEAK icon appears (see figure 4-2), this means the tire is loosing air at a rate faster than 2.8 PSI in a 12 second period. The FAST LEAK icon will only be displayed when a fast leak is detected and will go out after 18 seconds when the air quits leaking from the tire. We strongly urge you to pull over and inspect the possible tire damage immediately.
V. NORMAL MODE ACCESSORY FUNCTIONS 1. Drop and Hook Feature This feature allows the operator of the vehicle to drop the monitoring of either the front or the rear vehicle allowing the monitor to only receive the RF signals from the vehicle that is in close proximity to the monitor. The operator can drop the trailer and still monitor the car or truck when trips are required without the trailer. The operator of an RV can drop the tow car if it is not required. The process is as follows: 1.
V. NORMAL MODE ACCESSORY FUNCTIONS 2. System Reset Function The monitor can be reset to the factory defaults in one easy step. This will erase all of the serial numbers from the memory of the monitor and will then need to be re-programmed in order for the monitor to read the sensor signals. Be sure this is what you want to do before you proceed. Press and hold the PROG button for 30 seconds. This will erase all sensor information and return the monitor to its factory defaults. 3.
V. NORMAL MODE ACCESSORY FUNCTIONS The display will show as follows: Figure 6-2 Actual pressure for the alarm Figure 6-3 d07 is for the 7th month or July. Figure 6-4 d04 is for the 4th day of the month Figure 6-5 Figure 6-5 d06 is for the year 2006 Figure 6-6 A02 stands for AM and 2:00 Figure 6-7 M33 Stands for 33 minutes Figure 6-6 Figure 6-7 When you have finished checking the alarm history the PROG and SET buttons can be pressed together for three seconds to return to the normal operation mode. 4.
VI. FAQS AND TIPS 1. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS DOES THE MONITOR NEED TO BE POWERED BY A LIGHTER ACCESSORY? No. In fact you will loose some of the benefits of the 360RV if the monitor is wired in this method. If a hard wire option is utilized the end user then will benefit from the sleep mode option that the system incorporates.
VI. FAQS AND TIPS CAN THE MONITOR BE USED INDEPENDENTLY ON FRONT OR TOW VEHICLE? Yes see Drop and Hook Instruction PAGE 19. CAN I STORE MY VEHICLE LONG TERM WITH THE MONITOR ON? The monitor draws 60mA to 125 mA of power when it is under power and fully functional. The monitor could drain vehicle's battery over an extended period of time. Hooking the monitor up to enable the sleep mode will drastically reduce the power consumption over a long period.
VI. FAQS AND TIPS HOW DO I DELETE A SENSOR? See page 12 for full details on sensor deletion. WHAT SHOULD BE DONE IF A LOW PRESSURE ALERT IS SOUNDED? Immediately pull over and check low tire. Physically check tire and repair. Be sure to check valve stem for damage. Soap stem to identify any leaks. WHAT MAKES MY SYSTEM SENSORS TRANSMIT? Sensors will transmit data to the monitor under the following conditions: 1. Sensors update with a signal every 6 minutes. 2.
VI. FAQS AND TIPS MY SENSOR WAS BLOWN OFF, (BLOWOUT) WITH NO ALERT GIVEN, WHY? Instant tire failure is rare in comparison to the more common failure caused by gradual tire deflation. It is possible, during an instantaneous blowout, to have the sensor blown off the tire before it has had a chance to send a signal to the monitor. The 360RV is not designed for this type of tire failure.
