1. SYSTEM COMPONENTS 1.1 Monitor and accessories 1.2 Sensors The system can be supplied with TCSB compact sensors that can be used for tyre pressures up to 99psi / 6.8 bar. The monitor is also compatible with TCSE sensors for higher pressures (up to 188psi / 13 bar) and also TPMS INT 01 internal sensors fitted to TyrePal TPMS Ready systems.
1.4 Monitor layout and controls 1.5 Screen icons Tyre position icon Monitor battery icon (fully charged) (requires charging) Sensor low battery icon 2. IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES The TyrePal system can help you maintain tyre pressures for safety, fuel economy, tyre life and environmental impact.
3. BEFORE INSTALLATION Before installing the system, ensure that it is suitable for your vehicle. Check that the operating pressure of your tyres is within the range of the system. i.e. 0-99psi (0-6.8 bar) Check that tyre valve stems are in good condition before fitting the sensors. We do not recommend using the system with aluminium valve stems.
4. INSTALLATION 4.1 Install and register the sensors The following procedure registers the sensors as they are installed. In standby mode, press and hold the CODE button for 3 seconds. Release it after the beep to enter coding mode. A flashing tyre icon is displayed. If no sensor is registered to this position, the letters FFF FFF are shown.
4.5 Set units of pressure and alert levels Pressure units can be set to display in psi or bar, and temperature in °C or ˚F. Pressure alerts are set individually for each of the three axles on the towing vehicle (tractor) while the trailer settings apply to all axles on the trailer.
4.6 Install the monitor Various fixing options are available for the monitor. Make sure it does not obstruct the driver’s view when installed. Click the monitor into position. If required the monitor can be removed by unclipping it from the mount. Windscreen mount: Clip the monitor to the holder, moisten the suction pad and press it to the windscreen.
5. Operation In normal operation the monitor continuously scrolls through and displays the pressure and temperature of the tyres one by one. You can manually scroll through to any particular tyre by using the + or - buttons. The system is accurate to +/- 1.5psi (0.1bar ), so a difference of one or two psi between the tyres can safely be ignored.

The FAST LEAKAGE alert is a serious situation that could rapidly affect the stability of the vehicle. If this alert appears it means that there has been a loss of 0.14bar/2psi within 1 minute , so you should pull over and investigate immediately. The HIGH TEMPERATURE alert shows that the tyre is overheating.
5.3 Backlight The backlight turns on automatically when it gets dark if the vehicle is in motion. It turns off when it is light or when the monitor is in sleep mode. Press any button to turn the backlight on manually. To turn it off, press and hold the + button for 3 seconds. 5.4 Connecting and disconnecting a trailer When the trailer is not connected to the vehicle, press the LINK and –...
6. TESTING THE SETUP To test the transmission range on first installation, position the monitor in the driver’s cab and unscrew the furthest sensor. The system should produce an alert for that tyre posi- tion, within about 10 seconds. Tighten the sensor and the alert should stop. This test must be carried out within a few minutes of the installation or after the vehicle has been in motion, as the sensor will not transmit if it is in the sleep mode.
9. SPARES, SERVICE AND WARRANTY Spare parts including batteries and replacement sensors are available to purchase from the TyrePal web site. Please register your guarantee by completing details on our web site. The system is warranted to be free from manufacturing defects and is guaranteed for a period of twelve months from date of purchase.
