1. INTRODUCTION The SmartWave LF Tool is a handheld device designed to provoke data transmissions from SmartWave sensors. The tool can be used to assist the installer during: • • • New Installations – programming sensor ID numbers & vehicle configuration into the receiver Sensor Replacement - programming new sensor ID numbers into the receiver Installation Verification (without moving vehicle) NOTE: The SmartWave LF Tool is compatible with SmartWave low and high pressure commercial sensors ONLY. 2.
Transmission End: This part of the tool must be pointed towards the tire to initiate or learn a sensor. Learn LED: The Learn LED will be ON (green) as long as the Learn mode is selected. When pressing the Learn Button, the LED will blink rapidly for 5 seconds and then change to one blink per second after the Learn transmission has been completed. Initiate LED: The Initiate LED will be ON (green) as long as the Initiate mode is selected.
3. GETTING STARTED The SmartWave LF Tool is powered by a standard 9 Volt battery. To install the battery, open the battery access panel on the back of the tool and connect the supplied battery to the 9 Volt battery connector. Insert the battery into the slot and close the battery access panel. Press and hold the ON/OFF button for 2 seconds to power up the tool. 4. USING THE SMARTWAVE LF TOOL The SmartWave LF Tool is very easy to use.
For dual-wheel assemblies, position the SmartWave LF Tool approximately 2 inches (5 cm) away from the tire’s surface positioned at the center of the outboard tire’s sidewall opposite the valve stem. The transmission from the tool will pass through the outboard tire and provoke a data transmission from the sensor mounted on the inboard tire. NOTE: Dual-wheel assemblies should always be mounted with valve stems 180° opposite each other. 5. PROGRAMMING SENSOR ID NUMBERS 5.1.
5. Hold the SmartWave LF Tool pointed towards the tire’s sidewall adjacent to sensor’s location approximately 2” away from the tire’s surface. The sensor should be located at the valve stem with a rim label indicating its location. Do not touch the edge of the rim. 6. Press and release the Initiate/Learn button once & hold LF Initiator tool in position for 5 seconds until the 4 rapid beeps are heard. Do not hold down the Initiate/Learn button. 7.
