Tuson Towable Tire Pressure Monitoring System - 6 Internal Ball Sensors

Video Transcript for Breaking Down the Tuson Towable Tire Pressure Monitoring System

Hello, everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the Tucson towable tire pressure monitoring system with the six ball sensors. Now this tire pressure monitoring system will allow you to monitor your trailer or motor home tire pressures and temperature. A properly inflated tire can increase your fuel economy, extend tire life, and even improve safety and environmental efficiency. This kit here will include everything laid out here on the table. We'll start with the receiver monitor display right here.

It has a suction cup holder for mounting it. The six ball sensors, the repeater, the 12 volt power cable with the on and off switch, installation hardware and a nice user's manual to describe how this all its goes together and how it operates. Now the monitor can display and store up to three separate sets of 10 tire sensors, so 30 total for three separate trailers or RV configurations. Basically you can easily change between the three settings when you're towing different trailers, and if you need additional sensors, we do sell additional ball sensors. But are sold separately on our website.

The sensors themself, they use radio frequency to transmit realtime data to the in-cab receiver. And these are motion activated ball sensor which will install in the inside of the tire to prevent damage or theft. And what's nice is, these ball type sensors, they're a hard plastic body with a rubberized coating for durability. And they weigh less than one ounce, so they won't affect your tire balance. And what's unique is each sensor has a unique ID to identify that sensor to the receiver.

All of them in the box here will be labeled. So when you initially install them, you put 'em in that way. And anytime you need to move them around like for wheel location or that, it allows you to just punch it into the monitor display where they're located. So the interchangeable wheel order means that there's no need to have to move the sensors after a tire rotation. And these sensors do have a longer life expectancy than external cap sensors.

These will last five to 10 years depending on the use. Now the receiver, it's a very large receiver unit. Displays critical tire monitoring parameters. It'll let you show you tire pressure monitoring range from zero to 203 PSI. Tire temperature monitoring range from a negative 40 degrees Fahrenheit up to 257 degrees Fahrenheit. It'll also show you the sensor's battery voltage and the repeaters input voltage. And it does offer visual and audible alarm warnings. They're immediately sent to the receiver when there's any problems detected. And the screen itself can be turned off while still monitoring in the background. And it also has an alarm volume that can be adjusted or muted. The customizable settings allow you to adjust to your desired units of measurement. Temperature units, you can do either Fahrenheit or Celsius. And the pressure units, either KPA, PSI, or BAR. The monitor itself, the size on it, a width of it side to side is about 4 1/2 inches. Height of it about 2 1/8 inches, and the depth of the unit is only about one inch deep. The radio frequency repeater right here, this will enhance your radio frequency transmission range between the sensors and the receiver. Has a cable length of 90 inches. And the dimension on the repeater, you're going to be looking about 2 1/2 inches by 3 1/2 inches, and it is only about 7/8 of an inch deep. The specs for this. The operating voltage is 12 to 24 volts DC. But that's gonna do it for the review on the Tucson towable tire pressure monitoring system with the six ball sensors.
