How do I mount the wheel sensors for the Scalar Evo pulse unit

1 comments:

May 11, 2025

To mount the wheel sensors for the ZF SCALAR EVO Pulse unit:

1. Sensor Type: Choose the correct sensor model (WIS or SMS). SCALAR EVO Pulse is not compatible with OptiTire External Sensors (WM2) or any non-WABCO TPMS solutions.

2. Sensor Placement:
- Set the number of axles (1–6).
- Set the tire type (single or twin axle).
- Assign sensor IDs to each tire location (e.g., A1L1 for Axle 1, left tire 1).

3. Sensor Installation:
- Use the TPMS manager tool (part number 300 200 001 0) to activate the sensor and read its ID.
- Enter the sensor ID manually or select it from detected sensors.
- Repeat for each tire.

4. Documentation:
- Record each sensor ID with its corresponding wheel position.
- Send an installation report via email with installer details and comments, if needed.

    The assembly of the parts must be done using the accessories provided. ZF-Transics cannot be held responsible for any errors resulting from the use of other materials. ZF-Transics wishes to point out that activities which require welding to the trailer, can cause damage to the electronics of the device. It is imperative that the device is disconnected when carrying out such activities.
