System Set Up Variables
PressurePro Set Up for straight vehicles: Examples of common uses are delivery vehicles, construction
trucks and equipment, tractors, busses, waste vehicles, emergency vehicles, heavy equipment, “married”
tractor/trailer combinations, etc. Set-up consists of two main components; a Monitor and Sensors.
Sensors install to valve stems and send current pressure readings and alerts via RF signals to the
Monitor, which sits in-cab providing information to the driver. Both the 10 and 34 wheel Monitors can be
utilized for this type of configuration.

Monitors display pressures in PSI, BAR or kPa & provide two (2) low pressure alerts at 12.5% and 25%.
Monitor displays a variable high pressure alert - set at factory at 24% high and adjustable from 10% to 45% high.
High temperature display & alert at 100 C (displayed as 210 F).
Power requirements = 12VDC, typically draws 125 mA in standby, less than 250 mA with LEDs powered on.
Dimensions and Weight = 6.5”W x 3.0”H x 0.5”D, 4 ounces.
Power Cord Plug Type = USB Mini B.
Monitors provide self-diagnostics to measure signal strength and interference levels in vehicle.
Data Logging capabilities - PressurePro Data Logger management software (no cost) on request – RS232 data cord required.
PressurePro Set Up for Drop & Hook Solutions – J1708: Examples of common uses are drop and hook
combinations including tractor-trailers, power unit and tow, etc. This configuration utilizes three main
components; an Intelligent Truck Monitor (ITM), Universal Repeater (UR), and Sensors. Sensors are
installed to the valve stem of each tire, and provide real time tire pressure information and alerts to both
the ITM and UR via RF signal. (Readings from Sensors installed on the tractor’s tires send readings to the
ITM while Sensors installed to the trailer send readings to the UR.) UR’s are installed to each trailer, and
communicate their Sensor readings over the trailer and truck networks to the ITM, which is installed incab. Communication between the ITM and UR automatically begins when the tractor is tethered to the
trailer. When a trailer is removed from the tractor, the ITM automatically “forgets” that trailers (UR’s) ID so
it is ready to accept the next one hooked.

System for Tractor/Trailer(s) “Drop & Hook” applications.
Communicates via J1708.
Bridges data from J2497 network on Trailer to Tractor J1708 network.
Communicates with trailer with J1587 Universal Repeater over the J2497/ABS Network.
Power requirements - 12V/24V, typically draws 125 mA in standby, <250 mA with LEDs powered on.
Monitors 1 to 64 wheel positions – 16 on Tractor / 16 per trailer – up to three (3) trailers/dollies (each must have the J1587 Intelligent Repeater).
PressurePro Set Up for Drop & Hook Applications with Communication – J1708: The Intelligent Truck
Monitor (ITM) places all of its tire pressure data, including data from the Universal Repeater, onto the
tractor J1708 network. Telematics providers that offer devices with GPS/GPRS/Cellular/LAN
communications can access that TPMS data off of the J1708 network and send it to their office based
Fleet Manager software. PressurePro can work with the telematics units in several ways from full
integration to tethering of product. If the telematics partner has an in-cab display, PressurePro can provide
a Bridge (has no user interface), which installs under the dash and communicate via J1708 to the
telematic display. Tire pressure and temperature data can “piggy-back” on current communications to
provide information to the office based management system.

System for Tractor/Trailer(s) “Drop & Hook” applications.
Communicates via J1708.
Bridges data from J2497 network on Trailer to Tractor J1708 network.
Communicates with trailer with J1587 Universal Repeater over the J2497/ABS Network.
Power requirements - 12V/24V, typically draws 125 mA in standby, <250 mA with LEDs powered on.
Monitors up 64 wheel positions – 16 on Tractor / 16 per trailer – up to three (3) trailers/dollies (each must have the J1587 Intelligent Repeater).
PressurePro Set Up for Drop & Hook Applications – J1939: PressurePro’s unique J1939 CANBUS system was
designed for drop and hook vehicle applications that want to display current tire pressure readings and alerts in-cab.
This configuration utilizes four main components; an Intelligent Programming Monitor (IPM), Gateway, Universal
Repeater (UR), and Sensors. The Intelligent Programming Monitor (IPM) is used for programming and display only,
and is installed in-cab. Sensors are installed to the valve stem of each tire, and provide real time tire pressure
information and alerts to both the Gateway and UR, via RF signal. (Readings from Sensors installed on the tractor’s
tires send readings to the Gateway while Sensors installed to the trailer send readings to the UR.) UR’s are installed
to each trailer, and communicate their Sensor readings over the trailer and truck networks to the Gateway, which is
installed under the tractor’s dash. Communication between the Gateway and URs automatically begins when the
tractor is tethered to the trailer(s). When a trailer is removed from the tractor, the Gateway automatically “forgets”
that trailers ID so it is ready to accept the next one hooked. NOTE: Gateway not needed if not monitoring the tractor.
INTELLIGENT PROGRAMMING MONITOR (IPM) / J1939 GATEWAY / UNIVERSAL REPEATER
•IPM is utilized to accept sensor signals and wheel positions to all Intelligent “Drop & Hook” product - Bridge, Gateways and Universal Repeaters.
•IPM , when used in conjunction with the Gateway, can be used to read and display tire pressures from both tractor & trailer sensors
•IPM can be used without the Gateway to read and display sensors from the trailer(s) only (tractor is not monitored).
•IPM is designed to work with the J1939 Gateway, Universal Repeater, as a stand alone display in-cab or to program sensors to the Gateway or UR.
•The IPM , Gateway and Universal Repeaters all can be powered by 12V or 24V power on vehicles.
•IPM and Universal Repeater will work with both new J1939 and legacy J1708 networks. The Universal Repeater works with ALL trailer networks.
PressurePro Set Up for Drop & Hook Applications with Communications – J1939: PressurePro J1939 systems can
also be tied to Telematics products, to provide information back to an office based management system. The
Gateway places all pressure and temperature data, including data from the Universal Repeater, onto the tractor
CAN BUS or J1939 network. Any company that offers a device with GPS / GPRS /Cellular / LAN communications
can access that information off of the J1939 network and send it to Fleet Manager reporting software. If the fleet
utilizes a Telematics in-cab display, the Intelligent Programming Monitor is not necessary as all TPMS data and
PressurePro functions can be displayed on the telematics device’s in-cab display. NOTE: If the telematics product
doesn’t provide a means to program Sensors to their display or box, an Intelligent Programming Monitor must be
used for programming sensors.

Monitors up to 160 tires total – 16 wheel positions on the tractor and 16 wheel positions per trailer/dolly.
IPM is designed to work with telematics products as well as the J1939 Gateway and Universal Repeater to program sensors to the Gateway or
Universal Repeaters if the telematics product does not have this ability.
The IPM , Gateway and Universal Repeaters all can be powered by 12V or 24V power on vehicles.
IPM works with both the new J1939 and legacy J1708 networks. The Universal Repeater works with ALL trailer networks.
