  • Page 4: Important Information

    IMPORTANT INFORMATION  This product is designed to indicate the conditions of the air inside your vehicle’s tyres. It should not be considered as a device that will prevent any traffic accident, injury or death.  Tyres and valve stems must be checked before installation. It is very common for rubber valve stems to require replacement without showing signs of wear.

  • Page 5: Tpms Advantages

    TPMS Advantages A Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is an efficient and effective solution to many current automotive safety issues. TPMS will help minimize driving risks and reduce fuel consumption. Some benefits include:  Ensures safe driving conditions. Tyre pressures can alter ride comfort and handling response. ...

  • Page 6: Exclusive Features

    TYREDOG has helped major players in the trucking industry improve safety and reduce operational costs. The major feature of TYREDOG TPMS is the use of the world’s smallest valve cap sensor. The extremely lightweight, compact sensor has been designed to simplify installation and remove the need to have wheels balanced when fitted.

  • Page 7: Operation

    433MHz devices, even other TYREDOG systems.  All TYREDOG kits undergo strict field testing to ensure quality.  The TD2000A-X can monitor tyres with pressures up to 180psi so all applications are supported.  Sensors are treated for anti-corrosion during manufacture and use rubber seals to prevent liquid and fine particles from coming in contact with the circuitry.

  • Page 16: Installation

    Installation RELAY The relay can be powered by the supplied AA batteries, or the power cable. Permanent 12v is required for correct functionality of the relay. You must ensure the relay is NOT connected to a switched power source such as accessories or ignition, as this will cause synchronization issues with the monitor when powered up.
  • Page 17  Vehicle/trailer structure (chassis/body density etc) Please remember that any metal between the sensors/relay/monitor will play a part in limiting the signal transmission between Tyredog components. Although a metal object may not be in the direct line of sight between the components, it may still hinder signal transfer if the object is nearby or offside to the signal transmission path.
  • Page 18 When mounting the Relay, be sure that it is mounted away from moving parts, (tail shaft, axle, etc.) sources of heat (exhaust) and is fitted in such a place that would keep it protected from potentially damaging terrain. The Relay can be mounted using the supplied heavy duty bracket, or on its own using the mounting holes at the top of the unit.

  • Page 19: Monitor

    MONITOR The LCD monitor can be powered by 2x AA batteries, or your car’s power using the supplied cigarette lighter adapter. Please follow the steps below outlining how to install batteries into the monitor and sensors and powering up the system for the first time.

  • Page 20: Sensors

    If any sensors fail to come online, please try a battery from another sensor, or consult your nearest Tyredog dealer. Once all sensors are online, proceed to fitting the sensors to your tyre valves.
  • Page 21 1. After removing the original valve caps, slide the SecureFit fixing ring over the valve stem with the flat surface towards the wheel. 2. Screw the Tyredog sensor on in a clockwise direction until you feel the valve stem come under pressure.
