RX014 Bike TPMS(Tire Pressure Monitoring System) Manual

Whether riding your bike for pleasure, commuting or competition, safety is paramount.

Through technology TPMS gives the rider real-time tire pressure, tire temperature, and battery voltage monitoring. TPMS is improves riding safety.

Why do we need TPMS? It’s not only for safety, but also for environmental and economic reasons.

1. Reduce exhaust CO2 emission

2. Reduce fuel consumption

3. Reduce tire wear

4. Prevent tire overheating

Tire Performance

BLOWOUT

Increased fuel use

Overheating

Shorter Tread Life

Friction

Wear

Loss of steering control

With underinflated tires

If the front tire blows you will struggle to keep upright

Please take a few minutes to read through this manual as it explains the installation procedure, features and benefits of your TPMS. You will see it’s simple to use and care for.

Valve Protector

1-2. Installation Process

Steel strap with screw mount

Step 1:

Measure steel strap length on tire rim and allow 5cm overlap when cutting the excess strap. Place valve protector on steel strap for next assembling step.

5 cm

Step 2:

Fit transmitter on to steel clamp and position opposite to the valve protector.

Step 3:

Position steel strap screw mount to the side of the valve, and valve protector across the top as per below picture.

(Ensure Valve protector is mounted on a solid part of the strap)

Note:

1> The best position for the transmitter is at the center of rim. Make sure the steel strap is tight and flat to the rim’s surface.

2> If there are any kinks, it could weaken the strap.

Step 4:

Please ensure a distance of at least 5 cm is left between the steel strap screw fix and the valve protector, before fully tightening the steel strap.

Note: Make sure steel strap is not in contact with the valve.

Step 5:

Final Checks:

1> The steel strap screw mount must be 5-7cm away from the valve.

2> Ensure the steel strap is fed through the top of the valve protector.

3> Ensure the transmitter is positioned opposite to the valve.

4> Ensure the steel strap is fastened smoothly and tightly to the rim surface.

5> Please remind your tire fitters to take care not to damage the TPMS kit when changing the tire.

3. Positioning the Receiver

Please position the receiver using the appropriate mount, to the fuel tank, the fairing or the handle

bar. Different motorcycle designs may require different mounting solutions.

Note: Please ensure the receiver is positioned so that it does not restrict the handle bar movement, or

obstruct the riders’ view of the instruments.

4. Important Notes :

1> We suggest you check the condition of the steel strap every time you change the tire and replace it at least every 15,000 miles.

2> The rim design is model dependent. This manual is only a guide. Please take care to ensure the

TPMS kit is fitted correctly. If in doubt, please contact the retailer for support.

3> Tires must be re-balanced after installation.

4> Please check the receiver, transmitter, steel strap(include Steel strap fixing mount) and valve protector are all in the correct position and secured tightly.

5> (Check valve condition each time tires are replaced)

6> Information displayed on receiver is for riding reference only. If you encounter any loss of control which could be due to air loss, but that isn’t indicated on the display, please stop and check your motorcycle when it is safe to do so.

3. Caution:

3-1. Temperature Compensated Pressure Readings

1> When a tire heats up, caused by long duration of driving or braking, the air

pressure inside the tire can also be expected to increase, e.g. tire temperature

increases 20℃ to 30℃ may lead to 3psi to 6psi pressure increment.

2> Never use chemical material to clean Digital Receiver.

3> Never take Digital Receiver apart for repair! Whenever there is problem, please

contacts dealer for repair or replacement.

4> Check connections of DC Power Cable at both ends should no display

on LCD panel.

5> Be sure to keep record of the Transmitter ID number for each of the

corresponding two tires on the last page in this user manual. Because

next time if the original transmitter is replaced by a new one, inputting

the original Transmitter ID number to the new one should be a must.

3-2. TPMS is designed with radio anti-interference system. In serious electromagnetic

waves area like airport, high speed railroad, and amateur radio (ham radio) station

(include high power radio transmitter and receiver on road) TPMS might be shortly

influenced like “jamming”. After you leave this environment, the TPMS will be work

well.
