Page 26: Questions And Answers
TPMS sensors. Read the manual for the tyre sealant carefully to confirm compatibility. 5. Will Inawise TPMS operate well in extremely cold or hot conditions? The sensor’s operating temperature range is between -40 degC to +125 degC, while the display can operate between -20 DegC to +70 DegC. - Page 27 Excessive continuous distortion of the tyre’s sidewalls will cause temperature build-up. This temperature build-up can then cause catastrophic tyre failure known as a “Blowout”. Since the Inawise TPMS can alert the driver to not only low tyre pressure which is the primary cause of blowouts, but also to...
- Page 28 Pty Ltd TPMS-4WD-V2 User and installation guide Document 913-9001 Rev G 11/July/2012 12. Can I re-install the Inawise TPMS on a new vehicle after it has been removed from another vehicle? Of course you can. But we suggest you replace the valve core/cap/sealing grommet whenever you replace the tyres or move the sensors onto another rim.
- Page 29 TPMS-4WD-V2 User and installation guide Document 913-9001 Rev G 11/July/2012 18. Why is the pressure reading from the Inawise TPMS always different to a reading I get with an external tyre pressure gauge? Every measuring instrument has a defined tolerance. This tolerance defines the accuracy of the instrument.
