3.0 CONFIGURING & CUSTOMIZING YOUR SMARTIRE
™
SYSTEM
During the installation process, the default settings for SmarTire
™
TPMS should be customized to
the vehicle by the installer. At any time, alert thresholds can be made more or less sensitive and
system settings can be adjusted to accommodate vehicle changes and use.
Replacing vehicle tires or installing the system on a new vehicle may also require adjustment of
pre-configured settings. The following section describes how to adjust the pre-configured settings
of your SmarTire
™ TPMS.
3.1 PRE-CONFIGURED SETTINGS
Generally, the SmarTire
™
TPMS is pre-configured with the default settings listed below.
Depending on your vehicle, your system may have a different initial setup.
 Cold Inflation Pressure (CIP):
o 6-Wheel (4x2 Configuration)
 Steer Axle: 100 PSI (6.89 bar)
 Drive Axle: 100 PSI (6.89 bar)
o 10-Wheel or 6-Wheel with Super Singles
 Steer Axle: 100 PSI (6.89 bar)
 Drive Axle: 100 PSI (6.89 bar)
 First Alert Level (FAL) Pressure Deviation Alert: CIP +/- 15%
 Second Alert Level (SAL) Critical Low Pressure Alert: CIP -20%
 High Temperature Alert: 185°F (85°C)
Default cold inflation pressure settings should always be customized to the vehicle. Check the
vehicle’s owner’s manual, placard or the industry published load inflation table to determine the
recommended cold inflation pressure settings. Bendix recommends setting the Second Alert
Level (SAL) critical low pressure alert at 20% below the recommended cold inflation pressure for
your vehicle. Bendix also does not recommend changing the First Alert Level (FAL) pressure
deviation alert setting.
