Tire pressure warning device: great benefit from simple things

Have you ever seen a car with a small tire running on the road? Do you want the wing to tell the driver before it becomes a disaster? What happens when you drive with a small tire? And you want to be warned?

Studies and statistics have shown that driving with a small tire is not a rare phenomenon. For every 4 cars on the road, one runs with a tire with an incorrect pressure. That means that 1 in 4 drivers is wasting fuel and driving feeling along with tire durability. For the same reason, by 2009, the US government will officially adopt a law requiring all 2009 models in the US to have a tire pressure warning system.

Driving in a small tire is very dangerous, you can lose your driving and cause unfortunate accidents if the tire pressure is too low. If the tire pressure drops incorrectly, it can affect the driving feeling and your car will consume more fuel. But when the tire pressure is high, it is possible that your car is at risk of explosion. If your tire temperature is large, it will increase your rolling resistance, reduce fuel economy, or your tires, brakes, etc. are problematic.

Set of tire pressure warning device

With both cases, the tire pressure warning device is a very effective safety option for your vehicle.

There are two types of tire pressure warning systems. First, the direct system will alert the driver when the tire pressure drops by 25% compared to the manufacturer's recommended pressure. The second type is the indirect system that will warn the driver when a tire is 30% lower than the pressure of the remaining tires. Two different systems at the warning threshold because the indirect system does not provide accurate information about tire pressure as the direct system.

Sensor / transmitter is attached to the steam valve position

Therefore tire pressure warning systems are often used directly. Currently in Vietnam, luxury imported cars like Lexus LS460 or Audi Q7 . are equipped with standard tire pressure warning system. So if you don't own a luxury car, but for safety reasons, want to equip such a warning system for your car? Don't worry, you can completely install such a system for your car at no high cost, and even the device we introduced can give you information about tire temperature. car.

As a direct tire pressure warning system, this device identifies and warns the driver of tire pressure parameters. The system consists of sensors on each wheel, which are easily attached to the steam valve position to measure tire temperature and pressure. It should be noted that when installing sensors, balancing the tires again by installing the device will make the tire unbalanced. These sensors are also integrated with a signal transmitter to transmit information from the sensor to the signal receiver and display unit mounted on the vehicle dashboard.

The signal receiver / monitor is placed on the dashboard

The display simultaneously is a signal receiver, installed in place on the dashboard so that the driver can observe the best. This screen displays the parameters and temperatures of 4 tires, battery information and alerts.

This device has 5 levels of alert, that is:

Pressure difference warning : This warning starts when the pressure on a tire drops abnormally due to plugging or opening the valve . At this time, the screen will flash the symbol . the sound 'ball' 'ball' ' repeat continuously. You just need to press any key on the screen to inform the system that the warning has been received. After 10 seconds if the tire pressure is still not normal, the warning sound will repeat continuously. At this point, it is best to stop and check what happened to the tire, and if possible, it's best to put it in the garage to check.

Screen display

Low tire pressure warning : This warning starts when the tire pressure drops below the standard pressure. This pressure value will flash on the screen with the icon . And the warning sound will also sound continuously. You press the car keys to inform the system that the warning has been received. The red LED will blink continuously until you pump the tire back to the standard pressure. This warning means you have not pumped the tire for too long, and it's time to do it.

Warning of too high tire pressure : Warn too high tire pressure starts when tire pressure is too high compared to standard pressure. The pressure value will blink and the icon . and the warning sound will also repeat continuously. Similar to the low tire pressure warning, the red LED continuously flashes until you adjust the standard pressure. Too high tire pressure can be caused by many reasons. The main reason is because the tire temperature is too high when you go on the road continuously for a long time, causing the tire to heat up, causing the air in the tire to expand and pushing the tire pressure up. It does not exclude the possibility that your brakes are lightly bundled to make disc brakes, or drums, which will cause the tires to overheat, or even because the shaft details are not working correctly. If you are going on a long journey, then take a break to relax and continue your journey. If this phenomenon continues, then you bring the car to the garage to check and make necessary adjustments.

Special charger for signal receiver

Warning tire temperature is too high : This warning starts when the tire temperature exceeds the standard temperature. Just like the preceding warning, the temperature value and the icon will flash with a warning sound. Now you should check the tire or adjust the tire pressure, because the high tire temperature can lead to disasters such as tire explosion, or simply your tire system is not working properly. .

Signal generator battery warning: This warning is intended to help the driver recognize the battery of the signal transmitter that is running low. Icon . blinking with warning sound. When this warning occurs, the signal transmitter still works correctly, but it is best to replace them as soon as possible.

With the signal receiver and monitor, you can charge the battery using the in-car charger (6V / 800mmA charger). The signal receiver can operate continuously for 72 hours. The charger is included and specifically designed for the system.

The price of equipment is 2.95 million VND and the installation cost is about 200,000 VND and there are tire warning devices for 8-wheel trucks.
