(This manual can be referred to the HD/HDR/HDRB/HDJ/HDJB models) USER MANUAL The DORAN 360HD 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 manufacturer’s recommended operating...

Tires and valve stems should be inspected thoroughly prior to installation of the DORAN 360HD System to ensure that they are in good condition. It is not uncommon to find valve stems that need replacing or low tire inflation when installing the DORAN 360HD system.
SYSTEM COMPONENTS Hook & Loop pads for √ × installing Monitor Nylon wire tie √ √ Sensor for × × each tire purchased Antenna Kit (purchased × × Separately) If you are missing any of these components, DO NOT proceed with the installation. Contact the manufacturer for any missing or replacement parts.
GLOSSARY OF TERMS Normal Mode : When the monitor is monitoring all programmed sensors and there are not any faults, the monitor will display a Green Means Good™ indicator light and the display will show “on” (Black box products don’t have the Green Means Good™ indicator light). Alert Mode: When the monitor has received a signal that is outside of the parameters of the “Normal Operation”...
II. SETUP AND INSTALLATION DORAN suggests that all users install a remote antenna to receive maximum performance from the system 1. INSTALLING THE MONITOR 360HD (Standard display) comes with a hook and loop mounting option. Other mounting options include: sun visor mount, windshield mount, dash mount, and pedestal mount.
“S” is used to lock in selections during programming. Used to turn on and off the backlight. (4) Arrow buttons are used to navigate the screen and select values in the program mode “P” is used to enter the program modes.

Be sure to properly program sensors to the desired positions. Use the diagram in Figure 2-3 to record the three digit serial numbers (See Figure 2-2 for the three digit number location) and corresponding tire positions for programming. Figure 2-2 Figure 2-3 Select the desired tire position using the arrow buttons.
“PRESSURE PSI PROGRAM” (See Figure 2-7). The baseline pressure has been set in the factory at 100-psi for all wheel positions. DORAN recommends that all baseline pressures are set to the same pressure levels recommended by the tire manufacturer. If baseline pressures need to be changed, or a new sensor is programmed, then follow the procedure below.
Page 10
The monitor should now be displaying the wheel positions available for Baseline Pressure adjustment (See Figure 2-8). The text on the screen will contain different units of measure (PSI, Bar, or kPa) depending on which pressure unit is selected in the settings of the monitor.
PROGRAMMING THE DATE AND TIME FOR STORED ALARM HISTORY INFORMATION NOTE: To enter into the Date and Time Programming Mode from the Normal Operation screen, press and hold the “P” button for 5 seconds until the “PROGRAM” screen is displayed. Then press the “P” button twice to access Date and Time Programming Mode (See Figure 2-10).
Figure 2-17 the Unit of Measure Programming Mode (See Figure 2-17). The default unit of measure is factory set to PSI. The Doran monitor can also display pressure in BAR and kPa (See Figure 2-18 and 2-19). Use the “Left” and “Right” arrow keys to select the desired units.
DELETE SENSOR LOCATION This step is only used when a sensor is to be removed from the memory of the monitor. This would also be used to remove a sensor from one position and locate it to a different position. NOTE: To enter into the Delete Sensor Location Programming Mode from the Normal Operation screen, press and hold the “P”...
HIGH PRESSURE ALARM PROGRAMMING NOTE: To enter into the High Pressure Alarm Programming Mode from the Normal Operation screen, press and hold the “P” button for 5 seconds until the “PROGRAM” screen is displayed. Then press the “P” Figure 2-23 button five times to access the High Pressure Alarm Programming Mode (See Figure 2-23).
Before installing tire sensors, inspect all of the valve stems. Replace any cracked or defective valve stems. If replacements are necessary, Doran suggests replacing the valve stems with brass or stainless steel components for improved life.
(Audible alarm is not available on the “black box” products). The DORAN 360HD has six types of alarm modes. The warning levels are: Under Pressure – Tire pressure is 12.5% or more below the programmed baseline air pressure.
Page 17
alarm condition will be highlighted, the low pressure displayed, and the words “LOW PRESSURE” will be displayed on the monitor (See Figure 4-1). o Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire can cause the tire to overheat and lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tread life which can potentially affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.

Lost Signal – Occurs when the monitor does not receive the RF signal from a sensor. o If the monitor is unable to receive a signal from a sensor for more than 60 minutes, an alarm will be displayed for that sensor (See Figure 4-3).
V. NORMAL MODE ACCESSORY FUNCTIONS 1. DROP AND HOOK FEATURE The Drop and Hook feature allows the operator of the vehicle to customize which sets of tire sensors the monitor displays. This is useful when a trailer or towed car are not attached to the vehicle and do not need displayed.
3. STORE ALARM INFORMATION The Doran 360HD Monitor has the ability to store the last 31 alarm faults. These recorded faults cannot be erased; they will only be replaced by new alarms. This can be a very useful tool for the over the road trucking industry or any application where an alarm history is necessary.
INSTALLATION? Higher radio frequency (RF) transmissions travel mostly via straight lines and along line-of-sight pathways. The 360HD sensors are required to accomplish the difficult task of transmitting a low power FCC approved signal from vehicle tires to the monitor. First, verify that the sensor has been programmed correctly. If the sensor is programmed correctly, the vehicle could be in what is known as a “Dead Zone”...

With the 360HD system you can air up a low tire with the tire being warm and replace the sensor without worrying about the sensor giving a false alarm, unlike some of the other systems available on the market.
WHAT SHOULD I DO IF A SENSOR IS LOST OR DAMAGED? If a Sensor is lost or damaged and needs replacing, call DORAN Mfg. LLC Toll Free at 1-866-816-7233 to order a new Sensor. MY SENSOR WAS BLOWN OFF, (BLOWOUT) WITH NO ALERT GIVEN An instant tire failure is rare in comparison to the more common failures caused by gradual tire deflation.

RF (Radio Frequency) PRODUCTS: The DORAN 360HD utilizes RF technology to transmit a signal between the sensor and the monitor. RF signals are subject to interference from many types of signals and products, which can cause errors in the operation of the product. As with cell phones and other types of electronics using RF signals, signal interruption can occur and cause a lost signal transmission.
The exclusive remedy for any product determined by DORAN Mfg. LLC to be defective within such period shall, at the sole option of DORAN Mfg. LLC, be the repair or replacement of such defective product, or the refund of the purchase price therefore.
