Cap sensors‚ on the other hand‚ are external and screw onto the tire valve stem‚ offering a more straightforward installation. Both sensor types transmit data wirelessly to the display‚ enabling real-time monitoring. Internal sensors are more durable and resistant to environmental factors‚ while cap sensors are easily replaceable and suitable for lighter vehicles. Together‚ they ensure comprehensive tire monitoring‚ enhancing safety and efficiency for a wide range of vehicles.
Installation and Setup
The TST TPMS installation involves mounting sensors on tire valve stems and configuring the display. Sensors are paired to the display for accurate pressure and temperature monitoring.
3.1 Sensor Installation and Pairing
For proper installation‚ ensure the valve stem is clean and free of debris. Choose between flow-through or cap sensors based on your tire type. Tighten the sensor securely onto the valve stem‚ ensuring it is snug but not over-tightened. Pairing the sensor with the display involves entering the sensor’s unique ID code. Follow the manual’s instructions to activate pairing mode on the display and input the ID code. Once paired‚ the sensor will transmit real-time pressure and temperature data. Test the system by checking the display for accurate readings. Labeling sensors with their corresponding tire positions helps maintain organization and ensures correct monitoring. Refer to the troubleshooting section if pairing issues arise.
3.2 Display Installation and Configuration
Using the TST Tire Monitor System
The TST system provides real-time monitoring of tire pressure and temperature‚ offering customizable alerts and settings for enhanced safety and driver convenience.
