What is the weight of the sensors and will the wheels need re-balancing after fitting?
I just purchahased your TyrePal TD-1—A. How do I chnage the reading from osi to bar?
Thank you
What type of signal is used between monitor unit and sensors ? Radio, blue tooth etc…? and any risk on passengers health in the long run ?
The signal from the sensors is a low level intermittent radio signal at 433.92MHz. There is no long term health hazard for passengers associated with this.
I’ve lost one of the sensors , how can i order a replacement ?
Can I use a screw on adaptor for inflation when the security collar is fitted or will I need to remove the collar for inflating?
Yes, you need to release the collar to take the sensor off. The collar then just lifts off the valve stem, so you would probably remove it as well before re-inflating the tyre
Replacement sensors can be ordered through this web site.

You need to specify which wheel it is for.
I have bought the sensors to fit to my caravan, which has a single axle fitted with 14in alloy wheels with R14LI104 low profile tyres. It has an MTPLM of 1466kg. Where do I find typical tyre running temperatures from
There’s normally no need to specify the tyre running temperatures for caravans or cars in general road use. It is best left at the factory default of 70C. This is high enough to avoid false alerts, but will easily warn you if the tyre is overheating for any reason.
The facility to adjust the temperature alert threshold on TD series systems is provided mainly for track and race application, where it is valuable to to ensure tyres are up to temperature for optimum performance.
