important information Please note it is imperative that all staff/personnel are aware that, although the MICHELIN Wheel Security System is an in-motion wheel loss and hub/brake temperature detection system, your normal tyre and wheel removal, maintenance & walk round procedures/policies must still be adhered to. You cannot rely on this system as a means of omitting any undertaking of these activities or responsibilities.

fitment of the wired receiver Please connect the RED Wire directly to a vehicle 12V/24V Ignition fed power supply (Positive). The Black Wire is connected to a Ground wire (Negative). Consult manufacturers wiring guidelines where applicable to avoid any warranty issues. Remove the backing from the adhesive pad at the rear of the receiver taking care not to touch the adhesive surface.
fitment of the SOLAR receiver Remove the backing from the adhesive pad at the rear of the receiver taking care not to touch the adhesive surface. Find the ideal position for the receiver on the windscreen (ideally towards the top of the windscreen) ensuring that it is outside the wiper sweep. Ensure the solar panel is not blocked by the black border that exists around many windscreens. The area of the windscreen where the receiver is to be fitted should be clean and free from dust or grease.
fitment of wheel loss sensor and bracket PREPARING & PLANNING TO FIT THE WHEEL LOSS SENSORS & BRACKETS Get 2 sensors and brackets for each outer wheel ready to fit Note: If the wheel fixing has a conical or spherical stud fixing, please contact Wheely-Safe prior to installing the system, for guidance. sensors : Black for front - blue for rear black for FRONT The top of the sensor is identified by a Michelin logo.
The black sensors are fitted on the front (tractor) wheels and blue sensors fitted to rear (trailer) wheels. For rigid vehicles, coaches & buses: Black at front, Blue at rear Different coloured sensors make it easer to identify the fault when an alert occurs on the receiver and to assist the driver/engineer in locating where the fault may lie on the vehicle. This is in addition to the sensor also flashing for 3 minutes.
fitment of wheel loss sensor and bracket continued illus jacking wheel up The wheel that requires the wheel loss system to be fitted must be jacked up so that the tyre is off the ground. Remove all nuts and the wheel.
Both the mating face of the wheel rim and bracket should be clean and free from dirt, paint, rust and grease. Put the wheel back on to the hub.
fitment of wheel loss sensor and bracket - continued WHEN FITTED CORRECTLY THE TOP OF THE SENSOR WILL PROTRUDE SLIGHTLY ABOVE THE BRACKET.
Position the sensor and brackets diagonally opposite each other. When fitting and tightening the wheel nuts, and in its clamped position, the sensor LED will flash 7 times for 18 seconds This is the indication that the sensor is activated and the user can have the confidence that the Michelin Wheel Security System is working.
fitment of wheel loss sensor and bracket - continued REFER TO A RECOGNISED INDUSTRY STANDARD WHEEL SECURITY BEST PRACTICE GUIDELINE FOR NUT TIGHTENING SEQUENCE.
Then follow your own proven wheel security procedure IMPORTANT Failure to release the clamping force of ALL the wheel nuts and only releasing the clamping force of the nuts required to fit the brackets could result in a torque imbalance. Any torque imbalance then has the potential to result in nuts coming loose in a very short journey time.
fitment of tyre pressure monitoring sensors (TPMS) PLEASE ENSURE THAT ONLY BRASS EXTENSIONS ARE USED FOR INNER WHEELS WHEN FITTING SENSORS (NOT PLASTIC- AS THESE DO NOT EMIT AIR FOR THE SENSOR TO MONITOR) Fitment information – When fitting the TPMS sensor you should ensure that IT is not touching the wheel rim. The black sensors are fitted on the front (tractor) wheels and blue sensors fitted to rear (trailer) wheels.
MICHELIN TYRE INFLATEv3.pdf 1 15/05/2017 12:51 Remove the dust cap Check the tyre pressure is correct before fitting the TPMS sensor. The target pressure is for the normal COLD operating temperature recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
fitment of tyre pressure monitoring sensors (TPMS) continued Twist on the sensor ( finger tight) Check for the red LED flashing while the clever sensor self-calibrates to the current tyre pressure.
OPTIONAL: If using anti-theft nuts attach these to the tyre valve by screwing the nut onto the valve ensuring you leave enough thread so that the TPMS sensor can be fully screwed onto the tyre valve. Screw the TPMS sensor onto the valve and then using the lock nut tool tighten the nut back towards the TPMS sensor until tight.
fitment of fused signal booster (wired) Function: To boost the signal from the rear wheel sensors to receiver. note: fit one booster to either side of the vehicle. 2 x boosters for trailers and rigid chassis. None required for tractor units. The signal booster is fitted as close to the rear most sensor (wheel loss or TPMS) as possible. This area will normally be the rear most axle. You are not required to fit a booster on the tractor unit.
Fitting position - Rigid twin axle Fitting position - Trailer 19
fitment of signal booster (solar) The solar booster should be fitted externally in an area that is close to the rear most sensors and is visible to daylight. Because of the vast variance in trailers and rigid vehicles a degree of common sense needs to be applied. Fit 2 x boosters, one each side of a rigid vehicle or trailer (note, boosters are not required for tractor units) Fit in an area that is close to the rear most sensors which can be above them, in-front of or behind them.
POSITION OPTION 3 POSITION OPTION 4 The signal booster should be fitted as close to the rear TPMS/Wheel loss sensor as possible. The booster should be positioned so that the solar panel is facing up-wards. Having the solar panel facing sideways is acceptable, but the booster solar panel facing down is not recommended. Switching on the Solar Powered Booster. Hold the pressure checker directly above the battery icon for 5 seconds. The power light will flash and the solar powered booster is now active.
telematics receiver modules (wired) Note that the TRM looks similar to the booster, please refer to the typical id number RP03 on the back of the TRM wired version There are 4 wires for this type of TRM - connect as below: TX (green wire) RX (yellow wire) Power supply + (red wire) Power supply - (black wire) 22
telematics receiver modules (bluetooth) The solar powered receiver has Blue Tooth built in allowing data transmission to telematic systems.
Pressure checker TURN ON Insert 2 AAA batteries in the Pressure Checker. Press down the Power button for 3 seconds and the Pressure Checker will Power up with a bleep sound. The battery indicator in the bottom right of the screen shows the remaining powerlevel of the AAA batteries. CHANGE UNITS Factory setting is in psi. To change to display pressures to bar, press the Power button five times quickly, and to returnthe setting to psi, press 5 times again.
PRESSURE CHECKER WARNING SIGNALS When checking a tyre pressure prior to the start of the journey if the tyre pressure has fallen below 15% of the calibrated pressure the pressure checker will flash. If the calibrated pressure has fallen below 24% the pressure checker will flash and bleep. RECENT HUB TEMPERATURE Place the MICHELIN man logo of the pressure checker over the wheel loss sensor and the highest hub temperature in ºC within the last 24 hours will be displayed on the pressure checker.
Care and maintenance Regular checks should be made to ensure that the solar cells on the booster are not covered and should be kept clean using a pH neutral cleaner. All sensors should also be kept clean so that any flashing LED warning will be visible.
