Perfect Performance - Repeater Kit

This is a phenomenal piece of equipment for those who want to keep an eye on their trailer tires. Many products I've found online don't handle high enough pressure to check trailer tires, but this little device can register up to 199psi, which is more than enough for almost any situation. I set up my sensors a little differently, but it works. just like I wanted. I am currently monitoring four tires on my trailer with the first four sensors and I use the remaining two sensors to monitor spare parts on both the trailer and the truck. In my photos you can see that the #6 sensor is under all the other tires and that's because it's a replacement part for my truck. The display unit is so compact that I don't intend to remove it from the dash even if I'm not towing. . It has a solar panel on the back so I didn't have to charge it and the battery always shows a full charge. If left unattended for a while, the display will turn off, but as soon as the car starts moving, everything will return. on the. The same applies to the sensors on the tires. They seem to stop sending updates when there is no traffic, but as soon as the car/trailer moves everything updates. In my video you can see at some point that sensor #5 has no reading on the display. That's because I sat in the parking lot for a while, but as soon as I drove back the readings updated. While driving on the road, the display stays on all the time. I really like having it on the dash, it's nice to look around and see the trailer tires are ok. You can set the upper and lower limits for each axis, as well as the upper temperature limit for the entire set. When the limits are reached in either direction, or when signal is lost from one of the sensors, you will hear a fairly loud beep that is hard to miss. At this point, you can just press the "Set" button on the side to turn it off. At first I installed it without a repeater, but after a few trailer rides I started getting a few random sensor triggers. This happened more often in crowded urban areas, so I suspect it had more to do with interference than signal range. However, I then installed the repeater and have had no more problems since then. For the record, my trailer is 24 feet long, but the axles are only 17 feet from the tongue, so it's about 27-30 feet from the gauges to the display. Installing the repeater is pretty easy, all you need is a ground and a 12v live wire. I installed it further forward under the trailer so that it is only used when the trailer is attached. I can live with it if my truck's spare wheel signal goes out every now and then. Attaching sensors to tires just got easier... Four steps at a time and you're done. I made sure I tightened the nut well against the sensors; I just tested them after 300+ miles and they still fit perfectly. Oh, one more thing, the manual doesn't mention this, but there are a few pieces of plastic in the box that look like they're unnecessary. I haven't tested my theory yet, but I'm willing to bet they'll be used when it's time to change the batteries in the sensors, so don't throw them away.
