Display Unit
The display unit provides additional features when correctly
connected to a previously installed ‘Smartire’ system. The
display unit connects directly to the front of the basic
‘Smartire’ receiver and is powered from the vehicle circuits.
The display will be fully illu minated during use but will go
into ‘Energy Saver’ mode when no activity is detected.
Display Panel
Connection and Normal Operation
1. Remove the front bezel of the Pressure Sensor Receiver. Install the extension lead to the display unit and to the
receiver module. Turn on the ignition.
All icons will illuminate briefly and then extinguish
leaving only the vehicle outline.
2. When tyre pressure data is received, (drive the vehicle
or spin the road wheels), all the road wheel icons will
appear. Press the Tyre icon to access the recorded data
for each of the four road wheels.
3. Press the Mode button to scroll through the pressure, temperature and pressure deviation readings for the
selected tyre. 4. If any tyre pressure sensor is defective, the display will
show three dashes to indicate the absence of data for
that tyre.
5. To return to normal mode, press the SET button.
System Programming
The system may be programmed by the user on three
different levels. Enter Progra mming Mode by pressing the
‘Set’ button:
• 2 seconds to enter level 1
• 5 seconds to enter level 2
• 10 seconds to enter level 3
The following parameters ma y be set in each level:
Level 1 Programming
Cold inflation pressure
1. Press ‘Set’ for 2 seconds to enter level 1 programming .
2. Press ‘Tyre’ to select the front or rear axle. Front or rear
tyres will be highlighted.
3. Press ‘Mode’ to show the current value. Press ‘Tyre’ to increase or ‘Mode’ to decrease the current value.
4. Press ‘Set’ to save the new values.
5. Repeat steps 2 - 4 to set the cold inflation pressure for other the axle.

Units Selection
Use this function to select the combination of units for
pressure and temperature.
WAR NI N G
THE ROAD WHEELS AND TYRES ARE ASYMMETRICAL AND DIFFERENT SIZES FRONT AND REAR. THEY
MUST NOT BE ROTATED FRONT TO REAR. THIS FUNCTION SHOULD BE USED ONLY TO VERIFY
CORRECT TYRE POSITION. DO NOT CHANGE THE PROGRAMMED DATA.
Each sensor is identified by th e colour of a washer on the
tyre valve. Tyres are always in stalled in fixed positions and
must remain as follows:
• Right Front - Green (Code 1)
• Left Front - Red (Code 2)

transmitters).
2.4 Press ‘Tyre’ to scroll to the desired position. The chosen road wheel icon will flash.
2.5 Program a new transmitter by either:
2.6 Vigorously shaking the transmitter (bounce the road wheel on the ground) to promote a transmission.
2.7 Inflate or deflate the tyre by more than 3 psi (0.2 bar).
2.8 Press ‘Tyre’ to scroll to the next position. Repeat steps 4 and 5 as required to programme additional
transmitters.
2.9 Press ‘Set’ to save the new transmitter data and to exit ‘learn’ mode. If no error is found, the system will
return to ‘normal’ mode.
Level 3 Programming
Low Pressure Alert
1. Press ‘Set’ for 10 seconds to enter level 3 programming .
2. Press ‘Tyre’ button to scroll to the desired axle.
3. Press ‘Mode’ to view the current low pressure alert value.
4. Press ‘Tyre’ to increase the current value or press ‘Mode’ to the decrease current value.
5. Press ‘Set’ to save when the desired value is reached.
6. Repeat steps 2 to 5 until the Low Pressure Alert Level has been set for all road wheels.
7. Press ‘Set’ button to exit this mode.
