Confirm maximum rim thickness at valve clamping area: • Is it 0.156” (4MM)? • [Normally not a problem with a 0.453” diameter valve hole] – • If greater, then use the strap mount sensor. - Page 45 SmarTire Systems Inc. Tire Monitoring System Reference Manual 1. Start by using the valve assembly with longest of the three bases (Alligator #59.0054) 2. Remove the sensor attachment screw and install the valve body (into valve hole from the front side), washer and nut. Finger-tighten the nut until grommet is evenly seated. Make sure the fit of the valve body/grommet and the clearance of the washer/nut with respect to wheel.
- Page 46 SmarTire Systems Inc. Tire Monitoring System Reference Manual 8. Finally, clearance between the sensor body and the side of the wheel’s drop-center well should be at least 0.040” (1MM), and the housing contact pads at each end of the sensor housing are seated against the base of the drop-center well.
