Design and function Design and function 2.1 Description of functions The tyre sensors are mounted in tyre sensor containers on the inside of the tyres. The tyre sensor containers and their cushion gum are attached to a preprepared surface on the inner layer of the tyre by a special cold vulcanising agent. The tyre sensors are inserted into a tyre sensor container and consist of a pres- sure sensor, temperature sensor, acceleration sensor, evaluation circuit, radio transmitter and lithium battery.
Installation Installation 3.1 General instructions ■ To install correctly, it is essential to follow the sequence of steps described below. ■ The tyre sensor and tyre sensor container must be installed no later than 2 years after packaging due to ageing of the plastics (especially the tyre sensor container) and due to the battery storage time of the tyre sensor before use (service life in operation).

Installation 3.2.2 Materials required ATTENTION Damage to equipment! If agents other than the prescribed cold vulcanising agent and the prescribed cleaning agent are used or the installation instructions are not observed, the tyre sensor or the tyre sensor container may come loose. This could lead to damage to both the tyre and the tyre sensor.

Installation 3.2.3 Fixing position in the tyre The correct position of the installation area is: ■ in the middle, on a smooth surface on the inner layer of the tyre outside the venting ribs and other bumps. The aim is for the tyre sensor container to cover the entire surface. It is particularly important to ensure that the edge area of the tyre sensor container is flush.

Installation 3.2.4 Inserting the tyre sensor into the tyre sensor container Inserting without tool ■ Turn the sealing lip of the tyre sensor container inside out. Tip: Turning the sealing lip inside out on the short side of the tire sensor container is the easiest way (see black arrow in the adjacent illustration).

Installation Roughening: ATTENTION Damage to equipment! Incorrect treatment of the inner surface of the tyre can destroy the tyre or render it or the roughened surface unusable. ► Have the work carried out only by staff correspondingly trained in tyre repairs (see chapter “1.3 Information on this installation instructions”).

Installation 3.2.6 Apply the tyre sensor with container to the prepared installa- tion surface. ■ Check the inlay for dirt. Replace a dirty inlay. ■ Place the inlay part in pressing tool 2 so that both arrows on the inlay part correspond with those on pressing tool. Do not use the pressing tool without the inlay part.

Installation ATTENTION The tyre sensor container with inte- grated tyre sensor must be positioned optimally to function properly. ► Positioning of the tyre sensor is correct when the arrow on the tyre sensor container points in the direction of motion of the tyres. Positioned properly ■...
Installation 3.3 Final inspection of the vulcanisation compound of the tyre sensor container Pay attention to the The following points after installation: ■ The vulcanisation time depends on the ambient conditions (temperature and humidity). The ambient temperature must be at least 18°C (65°F). Never try to shorten the drying time by using other means (e.g., compressed air, hair dryer, hot air dryer, ...).
Installation 3.4 Instructions for fitting tyres ATTENTION Damage to equipment! Improper tyre fitting can cause damage to the tyre sensor. ► Do not fit the tyres until the full curing time of 24 hours has elapsed. ► Make sure that the tyre sensor is not damaged when fitting tyres using tools such as tyre irons.
Technical data Technical data 4.1 Ambient conditions Storage temperature (according to applicable 15 to 25 °C standard) 59 to 77 °F 18 to 45 °C Processing temperature 65 to 113 °F Relative humidity 30 - 80 4.2 Tyre sensor container Diameter incl.
Technical data 4.4 Approved tyres With proper installation, all standard commercial tubeless tyres are fundamen- tally suitable for the installation of a tyre sensor as long as the surface of the tyre inner layer corresponds to the normal market conditions. The tyre sensor must not be used in tyres with inner tube.
Disposal Disposal Consumables and packaging material Dispose of materials no longer needed, including packaging materials according to local regulations. Tyre container and tyre sensor The tyre sensor container remains in the tyre and is disposed of with the tyre. NOTE The tyre sensor must be removed before disposing of the tyre.
