INTRODUCTION Sensor Installation 1-1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS This product is a "band mount sensor" that attaches the sensor to the rim with the included mounting band. Marks and label MOUNTING TIRE ON RIM 31mm mark Barcode label Sensor usage start date mark REMOVE THE SENSOR Mark color for location For Europe: Model No.B422 Color: green For USA: Model No.
1-3 Required tools Items included in the sensor package Sensor x 6 to 12 (depend on the number of tires) Valve mark x 6 to 12 (depend on the number of tires) * Number of packages depend on the part number. Mounting band Mounting band (specified rim size) x 6 to 12 (depend on the number of tires) * Six mounting bands are contained in one box. The remainder are packaged separately. Have the following items ready Have the following safety gears and tools ready.
Attach mounting band to rim INTRODUCTION 1-5 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 1. Check that the included mounting band is the same rim size as the specified wheel diameter. (Rim size is written on the box containing the mounting band. 2. Place the rim by your feet with the valve side up and stand on the disk side. Valve SENSOR INSTALLATION 3. Hold the fixture of the mounting band with your right hand, tilt the rim toward yourself, and fasten the mounting band in the rim well.
2. Insert the end of the mounting band through the band fastener so that the screw of the band fastener faces away from the sensor and insert the screw. • Check that the mark on top of the sensor is facing the valve side. mark Fastener Fastener screw 3. Attach a flat bit to the power driver and tighten the screw until there is no sag in the mounting band. • The screw should be loose enough to move the sensor. WARNING • Be sure to read the operation guide before using the power driver.
Attach the valve mark INTRODUCTION 1-7 Attach a valve mark on the valve of the rim with sensor installed so that you can easily determine which tire (rim) has the sensor installed. Bend SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Bend 1. Bend both ends of the valve mark. 2. Remove the valve cap and pass the valve through both holes of the valve mark. Pass valve through SENSOR INSTALLATION 3. Attach the valve cap. MOUNTING TIRE ON RIM • The number on the valve mark indicates the installed position of tire.
Mounting tire on rim and Operation Verification 2-1 Required tools Tire changer Bead roller (Equipment used for mounting tire on rim. Generally known as bead roller, bead breaker, or tire installer/ remover.) 2-2 Hand reader Clamp Tire lever Mounting tire on rim 1. Before mounting tire on rim, check that there is no moisture or foreign object inside the tire or rim. Remove all moisture and foreign objects if there are any.
INTRODUCTION 3. Set the rim on the tire changer. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS • Set so that the valve is lower than the horizontal position of the bead roller (4 or 5 o'clock position). WARNING SENSOR INSTALLATION • Read the operation guide of the tire changer before using. Failing to observe the warnings in the manual may result in severe damage. Valve is between 4 to 5 o'clock position. 4. Push the bead roller and rotate the tire to insert the inner bead.
7. Check that the sensor is installed and operating correctly. Rotate the rim so that the position of the valve is above the horizontal position of the bead roller and read the data with the hand reader. • Check that the sensor ID match the ID displayed on the hand reader LED panel. Refer to section "1-8 Enter in check sheet" (page 13) for information on sensor ID.
Sensor removal flow SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 3-1 INTRODUCTION Remove the Sensor Remove the sensor from the rim in the following order: SENSOR INSTALLATION Jack up the vehicle MOUNTING TIRE ON RIM Remove the tire from the axle Remove the rim REMOVE THE SENSOR Remove the sensor from the rim Install the tire on the axle WARNING TRANSPORTATION, STORAGE & DISPOSAL Rim the tire 3-2 TROUBLESHOOTING • Install or uninstall the sensor at a tire shop.
2. Place the tire on the tire changer. Set the rim so that the valve is approximately 20° from the top of the tire. (The sensor is in the rim well near the valve.) 20° WARNING • Read the operation manual of the tire changer before using. Failing to observe the warnings in the manual may result in severe damage. Set the rim so that the valve is approximately 20° from the top of the tire NOTE • If the rim well is shallow, the sensor may touch the tire bead and become damaged when removing the rim.
INTRODUCTION 6. Remove the inner bead. With the outer bead removed in step (5), push the inner bead with the bead roller and remove the inner bead from the rim. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS NOTE • If the tire bead is caught in the sensor, change the alignment of the sensor and the bead roller without moving the bead roller in order to prevent damage to the sensor and then resume.
Sensor Transportation, Storage, and Disposal The sensor periodically transmits radio waves (periodic transmission function). Therefore, you must stop the periodic radio wave transmission function when transporting, storing, or disposing the sensor. 4-1 Precaution during transportation Sensor used as Hand Reader type Sensor used as Hand Reader type will not transmit radio signals unless instructed by the hand reader. It has no periodic transmission function so it can be transported without any problem.
No response from the sensor SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 5-1 INTRODUCTION Troubleshooting The possible causes are as follows. The sensor was damaged when mounting tire on rim. Remove the rim and check the sensor. If the sensor is damaged, replace it with a new one. The hand reader is damaged or is not used properly. • Check the measurement procedure once more and check whether measurement cannot be obtained with any tire. • The battery of the hand reader may be low. Replace it with a new one.
Service and Repair If there is any problem during usage, stop using the sensor immediately. WARNING • If the problem cannot be solved after taking the remedial action described in this guide, contact your place of purchase. 6-1 Requesting repair When requesting repair, you may be asked for the content of the check sheet during installation and for the following information. Check the necessary information.
INTRODUCTION WARNING Failure to observe the following warning items may result in serious traffic accident due to tire damage or erroneous air pressure detection. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS • If there is any problem during usage, stop using the sensor immediately. • Do not leave damaged sensor inside the tire for an extended period.
