(This manual can be referred to the CE/CER/CERB/CEJ/CEJB models) USER MANUAL The DORAN 360OTR 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 360OTR 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 360OTR system. DORAN recommends that rubber valve stems be replaced with brass or stainless steel stems as some rubber stems have been found to be inferior and can cause premature failure.
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”...
1. INSTALLING THE MONITOR The 360OTR (Standard display) comes with a hook and loop mounting option. Other mounting options include: sun visor mount, windshield mount, dash mount, and pedestal mount. If you are using the hook and loop pads, clean all mounting surfaces thoroughly with alcohol to remove any grease, dust, or oils that could prevent proper adhesion.
“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.
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.

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 Figure 2-10 Date and Time Programming Mode (See Figure 2-10).
(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. Press and hold the Figure 2-18 “S”...
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 360OTR has five types of alarm modes. The warning levels are: Under Pressure – Tire pressure is 12.5% or more below the programmed baseline air pressure.

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. High Pressure (Optional Alarm) – Tire pressure is 25% or more above the ...
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. Stored Alarm Information The Doran 360OTR 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.
Higher radio frequency (RF) transmissions travel mostly via straight lines and along line- of-sight pathways. The 360OTR 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.

When you return the sensor to the valve stem, the sensor will begin to read the current pressure and return to its normal operation. With the 360OTR 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.
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 360OTR is not designed to provide blowout alarms. This type of failure is commonly due to low tire pressure resulting in an overheating of the tire sidewalls to the point of disintegration.
