Thank you for purchasing a Dill Retrofit TPMS Kit. Properly inflat-
ed tires increase fuel economy, reduce tire wear and improve han-
dling. A warning system that notifies you of an underinflated tire
will provide you time to respond prior to potentially damaging your
tire, vehicle, or trailer.

Page 3: Setting Up The System
1.0 Setting Up the System 1.1 Transmitter Installation Have a professional tire retailer install the bands with transmitters in the wheels. See section 2 for details. Each transmitter has a unique ID and needs to be installed in the same corresponding position as noted in Figure on page 11. -
Page 4: Using The External Antenna-Rf Interference
The display is now in LEARN MODE and will store the cold inflation pressure of each tire once it receives a signal from the transmitter. The process may take up to 8 minutes. If all pressures are not received in 8 minutes, the display will shift back to the monitoring mode. - Page 5 External Antenna Installation Remove the original antenna from the back of the display unit and replace it with the coaxial wire antenna via display connector. Install the magnet/antenna underneath the rear of the vehicle, which will give it the nearest proximity to the transmitters. Thus, increasing signal reception between the display/receiver and transmitters.

Page 6: Transmitter Installation
2.0 Transmitter Installation The transmitter comes pre-installed in the mounting cradle. No adjustments need to be made to the transmitter or its mounting nut. It is recommended to install the transmitter/cradle at the location of the wheel’s valve hole so its location is always known during tire mounting, tire dismounting, and if the need arises, to scan the transmitter. -
Page 7: System Overview
3.0 System Overview The Retrofit TPMS kit monitors tire pressure and temperature. It will pro- vide warnings about abnormal conditions such as low pressure, high pres- sure, and high temperature. 3.1 System Components FIGURE 6 DISPLAY TRANSMITTER UNIT 12V DC POWER WITH BAND CORD &... -
Page 8: Normal Monitoring
The display is preprogramed to provide a warning if the pressure drops 20% below or 30% above the cold inflation pressure. It will also give a high temperature warning if the temperature exceeds 176°F. The high temperature warning point is not adjustable. The system is shipped with the baseline (cold inflation) pressure set at 35 psi. -

3.4 Warnings 3.4.1 Low Pressure Warning If the pressure in a tire is 20% lower than the cold inflation pressure setting, then the following will occur: 1. The display will show the pressure of the abnormal tire and the dig- its will flash. - Page 10 3.4.4 Monitor System Malfunction will occur if the display does not receive a signal from a transmitter(s) in the tire(s) for more than 30 minutes*, the display screen will display as dashed lines “- - -” . NOTE: When the dash lines ”- - -” appears, it will not be dismissed from the display even if you restart the unit.

3.8 Changing Number Of Wheel Positions The number of wheels in the vehicle can be set as 4, 6a, 6b, 8 or 10 as not ed in Figure 13. Use the 4 position if monitoring a 2-wheel trailer (“Err” or “NA” will display in the unused locations). The number of wheel position is pre-set. -
Page 14: Frequently Ask Questions
We do not recommend installing this system on any application that requires a cold inflation tire pressure of less than 25 psi. Can I install the Dill Retrofit TPMS kit myself with a basic set of hand tools? It is not recommended. While the Dill Retrofit TPMS tire pressure display... - Page 15 Can the Dill tire pressure display monitor multiple tires that require different recommended cold inflation pressures? Yes. During the initial setup of the system, each Dill Retrofit TPMS tire pressure sensor-equipped position can be programmed to monitor a different baseline cold inflation pressure. For example, the Dill system can accurately monitor the front and rear tires of a tow vehicle (60 psi front, 75 psi rear) and the tires on a trailer (50 psi).
