HCI Corporation TTPM-WWC-SB Installation 4
For first time installation, each sensor should be installed to its associated tire.
If the installer prefers installing the sensor without regard to the preset tire
association, then the system must be retrained after installation, otherwise the
display will not be showing tire pressure readings from the correct tires. Retrain
procedure is described in the Operations Manual.
2.2.2 Sensor Installation
• TPMS sensors are omni-directional and therefore could be mounted on a
wheel in either orientation.
• The sensor should be mounted next to the valve stem so that the technician
knows the sensor location during tire dismount.
• Install sensors on wheels and mark respective sensor ID on each tire wall to
provide easy reference for wheel remounting.
If each tire is mounted to
the correct location with respect to the sensor ID, the system can be
used after installation without needing to program.
a) Dismount wheel from vehicle and
remove tire from wheel.
b) Cut mounting band to appropriate
length for the wheel. Remove burrs
from the cut band end.
c) Get correct sensor for the wheel,
pass band through the two mounting
feet on the bottom of the sensor.
d) Wrap the band (with sensor) around
the wheel base, insert band end into
the band clamp, and then use a
socket wrench to advance the worm-
gear until the band is slightly pressing
the wheel base.
e) Adjust band to the lowest areas of the drop
center well. Move sensor to a position next
to the valve. Make sure both sensor feet
stand on a flat surface on the wheel well.
f) Using torque wrench tighten band to 30
inch pounds (4 N-m). The sensor should
be pulled down tightly against the
wheelbase and should not be moveable.
g) Cut off excessive band. Mount tire on
wheel, refill air, balance wheel, and mount
wheel back on vehicle.
Note: Put foot pad on sensor before
installation to prevent overheating
