Non-Pressurized
Vs
Pressurized Braided Steel Valve Extenders
Non-pressurized braided steel valve extenders have a pin and a long
actuator
rod running from
the
outer
end
of
the
valve, which resembles a valve core. Pushing
on
the
valve
core
pushes
the
rod down through
the
tube
to
open
the
valve
core
bolted
to
your tire rim. A good way
of
knowing
that
you're using a non-pressurized braided
steel
valve
extender
is
if it
is
difficult
to
retrieve air
out
of
the
extender
, while pushing
on
the
extender's valve core.
From
the
manufacturer,
these
are
often
called "Airless" valve extenders.
With a pressurized braided steel valve extender,
the
valve
stem
which
is
bolted
to
your
tire
rim
is
instantly
opened
once
the
extender
is
installed. Therefore, as soon as
the
valve extender
is
being screwed
on
, you should hear
air
escaping. The
air
flow should
cease
once
the
extender
is
properly tightened.
Please note, non-pressurized valve extenders will
not
work
with
your
TireMinder
ilO and need
to
be
replaced
in
order
for
the
transmitters
to
function properly. Because non-pressurized valve extenders
do
not
allow a
consistent flow
of
air
to
the
transmitters,
the
transmitters are unable
to
provide
proper
readings. This
will
result
in
incorrect readings
or
no
signal alerts.
Does
the
System
Need
to
Be
Reprogrammed Every Time I Change Batteries?
No, you
do
not
need
to
reprogram
the
Tire Minder system every time you change batteries. Just remember
to
put
the
transmitter back
on
the
same
tire
position they were taken off of.
For simple
to
follow instructions
on
how
to
replace
the
batteries, please follow this guide:
1.
Make sure your TireMinder monitor
is
on.
2.
Remove a single transmitter from
the
valve stem.
Once
removed,
the
TireMinder transmitter should
display
O
PSI.
3.
Once
the
transmitter
is
removed from
the
valve stem, remove
the
cap and
then
the
CR1632
battery from
underneath
the
battery bracket.
