IMPORTANT INFORMATION • This product is designed to indicate the conditions of the air inside your vehicle’s tyres. It should not be considered as a device that will prevent any traffic accident, injury or death. • Tyres and valve stems must be checked before installation. It is very common for rubber valve stems to require replacement without showing signs of wear. • Never overload your vehicle. Overloading is extremely dangerous and can cause failure of tyres, suspension and driveline components.
TPMS Advantages A Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is an efficient and effective solution to many current automotive safety issues. TPMS will help minimize driving risks and reduce fuel consumption. Some benefits include: z Ensures safe driving conditions. Tyre pressures can alter ride comfort and handling response. z Minimises chances of tyre blowout. Blowouts are a growing cause of road accidents. Even if a car can recover from a blowout, the damaged tyre left behind is an even greater hazard.
Exclusive Features TYREDOG is a powerful tool for maximizing uptime and improving safety. TYREDOG sets a new standard in wireless tyre pressure monitoring systems. A leading wireless TPMS solution for the light to heavy-duty car and trucking industries, TYREDOG is continuously developing new and better TPMS designs and manufacturing technologies. TYREDOG has helped major players in the trucking industry improve safety and reduce operational costs.
Operation z Real-time: Tyre pressures are updated automatically so there is no need to push buttons to check up on your tyres (except temperature). z Graphical user interface (GUI): All information is displayed together so unlike other systems, there is no need to scroll through each wheel to view status. z Adjustable: High and low warning alarms offer great flexibility.
Tyre Pressure & Safety Information. • Please take the time to choose a suitable location so operation can be performed quickly and safely. o Be sure that the LCD monitor is firmly fixed to the windshield or dashboard using the supplied mounting hardware. o Please practice safe driving and only take the time necessary to read the information displayed on the screen. • Ensure the sensors communicate with the LCD monitor before initially fitting them to your tyres to save time and hassle.

Installation The LCD monitor can be powered by 2x AAA batteries, or your car’s power by using the supplied cigarette lighter adapter. Please follow the steps below outlining how to install batteries into the monitor and sensors and powering up the system for the first time. Using your thumb, slide the battery cover toward the top of the monitor. Insert the negative end of the battery onto to the spring side of the battery holder and push the other end in until it locks in place.
Remove the sensor cap and insert the battery like shown. The LCD monitor will beep, and the corresponding display for that sensor flash, alternating between ‘Lo.P’ and ’00.0’. Replace the battery cover and ensure it is screwed on tight. Blinking EG: Sensor RL is online, but no pressure is detected. This is indicating that the sensor is online, but not yet mounted. Repeat this process with the remaining sensors until all sensors are online.
Visually inspect your tyre’s valves for any damage or defect before fitting to ensure further damage does not occur. If you do notice that something is not right with your valves, have them checked by a tyre professional. 1. After removing the original valve caps, slide the SecureFit fixing ring over the valve stem with the flat surface towards the wheel. 2. Screw the Tyredog sensor on in a clockwise direction until you feel the valve stem come under pressure. 3.
As each sensor is fitted to the respective tyres, the monitor will display the pressure for that sensor. It is normal for the monitor to warn of high or low pressure upon initialisation because the warning thresholds are yet to be set. If a pressure fails to be shown on screen, try the sensor on a different tyre to ensure there is not fault with the valve. Assembling the mounting bracket Screw the monitor arm to the base you have chosen making sure the ball joint is seated correctly in the socket.
Operation Main button locations Important Note: The TD-1300A does not have a power switch. The internal vibration sensor is equipped with a 15 minute timer that controls when the unit is powered on/off. This is a design intention to aid the compact and convenient design.
Main button functions Holding the MUTE button for 4 seconds will mute Mute audible warnings. This is indicated by the speaker icon with a strike thorough it on the GUI. When muted, button press beeps are still active. Pressing the temperature button will illuminate the Temp display and show all temperatures for 5 seconds. After 5 seconds, the Spare Tyre status will be shown. Temperature is shown in the FR area and pressure in RR.
Setting Warnings Holding the Light button for 4 seconds will enable the Light settings menu. The settings menu has 11 sub-levels which are shown below. The Temperature and Mute buttons are used to adjust the setting values. Press LIGHT again to advance through each of the remaining 10 settings.
Warning values can be set for each axle and the spare tyre separately. When setting each warning value, the corresponding axle will flash with the value being adjusted (1+2, 3+4, Spare) When Light is pressed after the last setting, the home screen will be shown. + Replacement Sensor Learn Mode If in any case a sensor is lost, stolen or damaged, it can be replaced with a ‘Learnable Sensor.’ These sensors have their own special code and can only replace those of the same type and wheel location.
If a battery is inserted to a non learnable original sensor whilst the monitor is in learning mode, the monitor will beep 3 times to indicate that is not a learnable code. If you hear 3 beeps with your learnable sensor, please contact your reseller. Note: it is normal for sensors to take some time to initiate. If no beeps are heard when the battery is inserted, wait a few moments.
Warnings Low Pressure Warning If a tyre’s pressure drops below the low pressure threshold, the monitor will beep three times and back light will illuminate for four seconds. The corresponding sensor location will alternate between the current pressure and “Lo.P.” The monitor will continue to beep 3 times for every 1 PSI the pressure drops until the problem is rectified. If the pressure drops rapidly, the monitor will beep 10 times. The picture below indicates that the rear-left tyre has low pressure.
High Pressure Warning If a tyre’s pressure rises above the high pressure threshold, the monitor will beep three times and back light will illuminate for four seconds. The corresponding sensor location will alternate between the current pressure and “Hi.P.” The monitor will continue to beep 3 times for every 1 PSI the pressure rises until the problem is rectified. If the pressure rises rapidly, the monitor will beep 10 times. The picture below indicates that the rear-left tyre has high pressure.
High Temperature Warning If a tyre’s temperature rises above the high temperature threshold, the monitor will beep three times and back light will illuminate for four seconds. The corresponding sensor location will alternate between the current pressure and “Hi.t.” The monitor will continue to beep 3 times for every 1 degree the temperature rises until the problem is rectified. The picture below indicates that the rear-left tyre has high temperature.
Low Battery Warning With daily use, the battery level will decrease. Usual battery life is expected to be between 6 and 12 months for the sensor. When the monitor batteries are running low, a horizontal low battery indicator will be displayed in the middle section of the screen. (LEFT) When a sensor battery is running low, a vertical low battery indicator will be displayed in the corner of the screen respective to the sensor.
Battery Information Under normal conditions, sensor batteries will last approximately 12 months. Depending on operation conditions and frequency of use, battery life can be shorter or longer. Tyredog Sensors use battery type ‘CR1632’ (3 Volt Lithium Button Cell) CR1632 batteries are available for purchase from your nearest Tyredog reseller. Notes on batteries z Keep lithium batteries out of reach of children. z Should a battery be swallowed, immediately consult a doctor.
Troubleshooting If any sensors are failing to give a reading, or you feel an incorrect reading is being given, follow this procedure; 1. Turn the monitor off. 2. Remove batteries from all sensors. 3. Remove all sensors from valves. 4. Turn the monitor back on. 5. Insert batteries into sensors one by one. 6. Fit sensors to valves one by one. If you feel your system has a fault which cannot be rectified by this procedure, please contact your Tyredog dealer.
