1. If the pressure is falling data is transmitted to the monitor immediately but if the pressure is steady data is transmitted only every five minutes This is to reduce power consumption and extend the life of the sensor batteries A backlight turns on automatically when it gets dark if the vehicle is in motion It turns off when it is light or when the monitor is in sleep mode Press any button to turn the backlight on manually To turn it off press and hold the button for 3 seconds 5 1 Sensor sleep mode The sensors also have a sleep mode and when the vehicle has been stationary for several minutes they stop transmitting to save battery power If the monitor is awake at this time it will continue to display the latest received data for a short time Please note that it may take a few minutes of driving for the monitor to receive signals from all the sensors when it first wakes up If data is not being received from a particular sensor the display will go blank for that position This can be 8 caused by temporary interference from surrounding radio signals and will normally correct itself within a few minutes of driving If a signal is not received from a sensor for a period of 60 minutes the display remains blank for that position and the monitor chirps briefly to warn you that the tyre is not being monitored 5 2 Alerts If there is a leak or if any tyre is outside the pre defined values it gives an alert e An audible al2. sensor signals from a single trailer or in a fleet application it can simplify exchanging trailers by storing the trailer settings In this case one is fitted to each trailer 10 7 TROUBLESHOOTING amp ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Additional information about the system including troubleshooting and advice on managing tyre pressures is provided on the TyrePal web site www tyrepal co uk where it is regularly updated 8 SPARES AND WARRANTY Spare parts including replacement sensors are available to purchase from the TyrePal web site Please register your guarantee by completing details on our web site The system is warranted to be free from manufacturing defects and is guaranteed for a period of twelve months from date of purchase There are no user serviceable parts inside the monitor and if internal parts have been tampered with the warranty may be void The warranty does not affect your statutory rights 11 Wheel Solutions Limited Unit 2 Upper Keys Business Park Keys Park Road Hednesford Cannock Staffs WS12 2GE e mail enquiries tyrepal co uk www tyrepal co uk TC2150EK20140901 TyrePal Ltd 2014 12
