Product Description

3.1

Intended use

The TPA 200 can be used to read and display
measurement data from tire pressure sensors
from all the usual manufacturers. Furthermore,
the tire pressure sensors of the vehicle can be
reconfigured and activated. When swapping
the tire pressure sensor, the measured data of
the uninstalled tire pressure sensors can be
copied and programmed on the new universal
tire pressure sensors. TPA 200 can activate tire
pressure sensors with 315 MHz (US vehicles)
and 433 MHz (EU vehicles), if these vehicles are
available in the database. The "TPA Startcenter"
software can save the measurement data from
the TPA 200 in a database, and this enables a
vehicle-specific test protocol to be created.
!
The TPA 200 is only to be used, when the
vehicle is stationary. The TPA 200 must not
come into contact with water or other liquids.
