Product Manual
Brass and Aluminum Transmitters. Which
one
do
I
need?
Minder makes
two
types
of
transmitters,
the
TM-2BRASS
and
the
TM-2ALUM.
The standard kits
come
with
either
4, 6
or
10
of
the
brass style transmitters.
All
RVs,
MotorHomes,
5TH
Wheels and Trailers
will
all
have
either
rubber (brass)
or
metal
(steel, chrome,
or
nickel) valve stems,
all
of
which work with
the
TireMinder brass
or
flow through transmitters.
All
cars,
SUVs
and trucks
will
have either rubber (brass)
or
metal (aluminum) valve stems.
If
you have a rubber valve
stem
,
Aluminum
Brass
you
will
need
brass transmitters.
If
you have a metal valve
stem,
you
will
need
aluminum transmitters.
What
you are avoiding here
is
called "galvanic corrosion." This happens when dissimilar metals
come
into
contact
for
a period
of
time. Moisture (especially
if
salty) will cause
the
two
metals
to
become
so corroded
that
they
cannot
be
separated.
Tire
Rotation
Once
a
transmitter
is
learned
to
a specific wheel location.
they
are
dedicated
to
that
position. Mark and remove
your transmitters
before
a
tire
rotation. That way, they can
be
easily
put
back on.
If
your il0 seems
to
be
acting
strange after a tire rotation,
