  • Page 4: Welcome

    WELCOME Thank you for purchasing our nVISION Tire Pressure Monitoring System … the most sophisticated and robust TPMS technology available! This product is designed to give you years of reliable performance. If you have any questions about this product, how to set it up or how to use, do not return it to the dealer where you bought it.

  • Page 5: Your New Tpms System

    YOUR NEW TPMS SYSTEM Low tire pressure is the cause of 9 out of 10 tire failures. Your nVISION TPMS system is designed to monitor your tire pressures and relay warnings to you when your tires reach critical low pressure levels. We hope that you never experience a tire failure.

  • Page 6: Nvision Tpms Components

    TPMS COMPONENTS Your nVISION TPMS Has 5 Basic Components (See Illustration A) A specially designed monitor that has a unique flip top to improve viewing angles. A special non-skid pad designed for vinyl dash boards to prevent the monitor from sliding while driving.

  • Page 7: Warning Lights

    WARNING LIGHTS On the face of the display you will find 3 different colored lights (See Illustration B). These lights are designed to provide a quick reference to the status of your tire pressures. We recommend that while the green light is lit, which indicates that all tires are reporting normal tire pressures, you keep the monitor display closed.

  • Page 8: Monitor Power Buttons

    MONITOR POWER BUTTONS There are two buttons on the monitor face (See Illustration C). Off/On Button: When the monitor is plugged into a 12 volt DC power source, pushing this button will power on or power off the monitor. For best results, we recommend that you always leave your monitor on.

  • Page 9: Navigation And Control Buttons

    When you power up your nVISION TPMS for the first time, it has been designed to automatically begin in programming mode. See Initial Set Up for details on how to program your system.

    … whether you’re moving or stationary … and regardless of weather conditions. Note: Your nVISION TPMS will not prevent tires from losing pressure or failing. However, low tire pressure can nearly always be recognized before tires fail. Your new system is designed to provide notification when tires reach two different levels of critical low pressure inflation.

  • Page 11: Editing Settings

    EDITING SETTINGS You may want to occasionally change your initial memory settings. For example, you may acquire a new vehicle STOP or trailer. Changing Memory Position Settings Changing or editing a setting begins with pressing the Program Button on your monitor. Use the arrow keys to move to the Memory Position you want to edit and press “OK”.

  • Page 12: Initial Setup

    INITIAL SET UP We have designed this TPMS system to be easy as 1-2-3 to set up and use everyday. Your nVISION TPMS is completely wireless, no tools are required for installation. Before you power up your TPMS system for the first time, you will need to install the antenna (See Illustration F).
  • Page 13 The default pressure type is PSI. To select this option, press your “OK” navigation button to confirm this choice. If you prefer kPa or BAR, use the arrow keys to move to your desired option. Then press “OK” to confirm your selection. The nVISION TPMS system will automatically remember this selection for all 4 memory positions.
  • Page 14 Each memory position provides both a front vehicle (e.g., a motor home or vehicle) and a towed vehicle or trailer. • For the front vehicle, you can choose either a motorhome wheel configuration or a regular vehicle (truck or car). •...
  • Page 15 Step 3 You are now ready to install the tire pressure sensors. Your nVISION TPMS system is designed to guide you through this process by flashing each tire location, one by one. It is critical that you place the sensor on the tire that corresponds to the flashing tire on the monitor. The system will store this specific sensor location into memory.
  • Page 16 Like all mechanical products, tires need regular check ups. If you have not checked the valve stem and its internal components lately, you will want to do so before you install the sensor. Refer to the Tire Safety section of this manual for more details and suggestions for getting the most from your tires.

  • Page 17: Normal Operation

    NORMAL OPERATION Once you have completed programming your Memory Positions, your system will enter normal operating mode. N TPMS COMPON Your TPMS system will begin checking tire pressures. You will see the a series of check N TPMS COMPONENTS marks illuminate in the top left corner of the display screen. These checks indicate that your TPMS system is reestablishing the RF connections with each sensor and verifying tire pressures.

  • Page 18: Cautions And Warnings

    STOP If your system determines that one or more of your tires is reporting pressure below normal, you will receive a warning notification. Your nVISION TPMS has a unique 2-level warning system. Level 1: Poor Fuel Economy At 12.5% below the baseline pressure level, you will receive a Level 1 alert. The yellow light on the face of the monitor will begin to flash and will flash continuously until the low pressure condition has been resolved.
  • Page 19 If the RF signal connection has been interrupted, it could take several minutes to reestablish the signature. Note that your nVISION TPMS has been designed to provide you with a warning for low sensor battery levels. Approximately 2 weeks prior to expiration, the sensor will send a notification to the monitor indicating low battery.

  • Page 20: Radio Frequency Signals

    RADIO FREQUENCY SIGNALS RF (Radio Frequency) signals are commonly used in wireless devices. The RF frequencies in your nVISION TPMS system conform to all FCC Rules. The RF system in your TPMS device has been designed to use normal objects in the environment to reverberate signals from the wheels to the monitor.

  • Page 21: Fcc Compliance

    So much is riding on your tires, that it makes sense to give them regular check ups. Below find a list of what you can do to get the most performance and safety out of your tires! 1. Use your nVISION TPMS to check tire pressure regularly, including the spare. •...

  • Page 23: Frequently Asked Questions

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS We want you to get the most from your new TPMS system. These FAQs have been designed to address experiences common to all TPMS owners. How do I reset my baseline tire pressure? Option 1: You can delete the sensor (see Adding/Deleting Sensors, page 11). Option 2: You can remove the sensor from the valve stem for 60 seconds.
  • Page 24 Your sensors have been designed to withstand extreme conditions for temperature, vibration and moisture infiltration. To ensure that the pressure sensors have the highest reliability, the sensor housing is permanently sealed. Batteries cannot be replaced. When your sensors expire, simply purchase a new nVISION TPMS sensor replacement.
  • Page 25 What should I do if a sensor is lost or damaged? Contact your local dealer or nVISION Technical Services (800) 835-0129 to order a new sensor. During installation, no signal was received from the sensor. Higher RF transmissions propagate mostly via straight lines and along line-of-sight pathways. If a sensor fails to give a pressure reading, move the monitor slightly, reposition the antenna and try again.
  • Page 26 Why does my monitor screen go blank after a few minutes? Your nVISION TPMS monitor has been designed with an energy saving feature. After 3 minutes of inactivity, the monitor will go into sleep mode. To awaken the monitor, press any button.
  • Page 27 Why am I receiving excessive low pressure alerts? It is critical that when you establish your baseline pressures, that your tires be at the manufacturer’s recommended pressure level, that the tires be cold and vehicle or trailer not have been moved. It is best to install your sensors early in the morning.
