About PressurePro
PressurePro is a wireless electronic tire pressure montoring system (TPMS) designed to display tire pressure. PressurePro is capable of displaying current tire pressures on demand, whether moving or stationary. PressurePro Sensors read tire pressure 12,343 times per day (once every 7 seconds) and transmit these updated readings to the Monitor. PressurePro Monitors are capable of reading pressures from 10 psi to 199 psi, are RS232 capable, and can display pressures in PSI, BAR or kPa. All Monitors have two low pressure alert levels, the first at 12.5% and the second at 25% drop in pressure. They also have a variable high pressure alert that can be adjusted by users from 10% to 45% high (the high pressure alert comes factory set to alert at a 24 psi increase).
Sensors
PressurePro Sensors are the most simplistic/reliable tire pressure monitoring system sensors in the industry. Unlike sensors that wrap around the rim or replace a valve stem inside of the tire, PressurePro sensors mount externally alowing for the most simple and quickest installation. PressurePro Sensors can be installed on any pneumatic tire from buses, RV's and passenger vehicles, to commercial trucks, heavy equipment and large bore mining applications.
Integration
As a stand alone TPMS or as an addition to an onboard telematics communication system, PressurePro is able to accommodate your fleet. Now you can be alerted to a tire pressure alert at your head office for a vehicle anywhere in North America.
Under-Inflation Facts
20% under-inflation increase fuel consumption by 2%, when driving 100,000 miles per year at an average of $2.50 per gallon, 20% under-inflation adds up to an additional annual cost of around $800 per vehicle.
20% under-inflation will reduce tire life by 30%, and tread life by 25%. With an average cost of $275 per tire, 20% under-inflated translates into $82 per tire, not including the service costs.
Under-inflation increases sidewall flexing that causes heat build up, thus causing tire failure.
In a duel assembly, if tires do not match in diameter, the smaller tire (under-inflated) will be dragged by the larger tire (properly-inflated). The dragging of the smaller tire can result very quickly in irregular wear on the tire. As well the properly inflated tire will be carrying twice the rated load, generating extremely high temperatures, which can result in tire failure.
90% of all tire failures are caused by under-inflation and almost 50% of all service calls are tire related. The average cost of a tire failure including the service call, downtime and new tire is about $750 per incident. Also, a tire related breakdown can cause delivery schedules to be missed.
