With recent advances in microchip technology, electronic tire pressure monitoring is now affordable for both large and small fleet operations. The Tire Sentry system uses advanced RF microchip technology to continuously monitor tire pressure from inside the cab. This wireless remote sensing system enables low tire pressure to be automatically detected by using electronic wheel sensors (electronic valve caps), to warn the driver/operator when any tire has lost as little as 10% of its normal operating pressure.

Installation takes only about one hour and does not require special tools, technical knowledge, or removal of the wheels.

Models are provided for most wheel and axle configurations from six to 22 wheels. For further information, e-mail Richard Van Dyke at rv1@tiresentry.com.
