magnets. Other medical devices that can be disabled by magnetic fields include defibrillators, prosthetic limbs and insulin pumps. Damage to Electronics and Magnetic Storage Media Certain electronic devices such as cell phones and pagers are sensitive to magnetic fields and can be damaged if brought too close to the magnets. Store magnets in a safe location away from electronic objects. Credit cards and magnetic personal identification cards can be demagnetized if brought too close to the magnets.

Wheel sensor operation TRS-SENSOR-DIA /A The TRS-SENSOR-DIA /A (diaphragm sensor) is a diaphragm-based wheel sensor supplied by RIMEX Supply Ltd for use in mining and off-the-road (OTR) applications. The wheel sensor is designed for installation in extreme environmental conditions with or without liquid tire additive. Figure 1 below shows the diaphragm sensor.
Overview All wheel sensors have two modes of operation; storage and normal. In storage mode, the wheel sensor does not transmit unless induced with a magnet. When induced, the measured pressure, temperature, and diagnostic data are transmitted. In normal mode, the wheel sensor will transmit the measured pressure, temperature, and diagnostic information every minute by default. The wheel sensor will transmit immediately when the measured pressure changes by more than 2psi since the last transmission.
Inducing the wheel sensor To induce a wheel sensor to transmit, position a strong magnet, such as a MagMount, on the plastic side of the sensor for a few seconds or slowly swipe the sensor across a TyreSense Sensor Buddy. If the wheel sensor fails to transmit, the wheel sensor may need to be removed for a few seconds, repositioned/rotated, and retried. Cleaning All wheel sensors can be cleaned with wet rag or towel. It is not recommended to submerge or rinse dry fit sensors.
TRS-SENSOR-DIA /A For installation instructions for the diaphragm sensor, refer to the Magnetic Mount Install Guide. TRS-SENSOR-DRY /A For installation instructions for the diaphragm sensor, refer to the Dry Fit Install Guide. Programming To program the wheel sensor ID into the TyreSense Receiver Unit, refer to the Display User Guide or TyreSense Client User Guide for more information.
• • Wheel sensor pressure and master gauge pressure may both be correct o The allowed pressure difference must be a sum of the measurement errors of both the wheel sensor and master gauge. Example: If the master gauge has an error of 3% and the wheel sensor has an error of 3%, the maximum allowable error is 6% Faulty or plugged sensor Wheel sensor calculated cold reading drifts after inflation • • Wheel sensor has not been provided enough time to temperature soak.
• • • Incorrect sensor ID is being monitored o Verify that the correct sensor ID is being monitored Pressure within a tire is less than what is required to enter normal mode Faulty or plugged wheel sensor Specifications TRS-SENSOR-DRY /A and TRS-SENSOR-DIA /A Refer to TRS-SENSOR-DRY /A and TRS-SENSOR-DIA /A datasheet Disposal All TyreSense wheel sensors contain a lithium battery. The user should either follow local regulations for battery recycling/disposal or return the sensors to RIMEX Supply Ltd.
