PressurePro Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I monitor both the RV and the towed vehicle tires?

This 10 sensor PressurePro system can monitor just the RV, or just the towed vehicle, or both. Sensors can be added on to suit one's needs. Some cars already have another tire pressure monitoring system ("TPMS") on them, but PressurePro has the advantage of reading tire pressures from inside the motorhome while the car is being towed. PressurePro will not interfere with other TPMSs.

PressurePro has a button on the Monitor that is labeled "F/B"--meaning Front or Back. with sensors on both the RV and the car, one might, on occasion, want to just drive the RV without the car, maybe to take to their RV Dealer for maintenance. The F/B button has 3 pushes to it: one push will turn off the lights on the Monitor for the car, temporarily stopping its scan of the car wheels; the second push will turn off the lights for the RV, temporarily stopping its scan of the RV; and the third push will connect the RV and car lights so the Monitor will scan the tire pressures on both vehicles.

PressurePro is versatile, in that one can take the Monitor from the RV, and plug it into the cigarette receptacle of the car, thus using it for a day trip or whenever the RV is not in use. The F/B button should be pressed until just the lights for the car are activated, so the Monitor will only be scanning for the tire pressures of the car.

The Sensors can also be taken off and put on any other vehicle, such as a truck/SUV and a boat trailer, horse trailer, etc. Putting them on another vehicle in their same respective locations (front left to front left, front right to front right etc.) will eliminate the need to reprogram the Monitor. However, it would only take a few minutes to reprogram if that is preferred

How strong is the signal?

Although PressurePro Sensors will transmit up to at least 100 feet line of sight, it really depends on the density and materials of the RV or truck in between them and the Monitor.

If an RV is over 40', it's possible that one might need to order the optional Echo Repeater. However, if the Monitor does not pick up the back wheels, the Monitor can firstly be moved to a different location, to see if that will improve the signal reception. Each time the Monitor is moved, one must wait 5 minutes for the signals to arrive from the Sensors.

The majority of RVs over 40' feet have no problem receiving the signal without the Echo Repeater. However, if the signals are not received from all of the Sensors after trying different Monitor locations, either the extended antenna kit, or the optional Repeater will be necessary.

The optional Echo Repeater is an alternate to the extended antenna kit. It looks very much like the Monitor, without the tire locations, and plugs into any 12v source, such as a cigarette receptacle, perhaps in the motorhome bedroom. The stronger signal will then be "repeated" to the Monitor, resulting in improved reception.
