TRANSCEIVER MOUNTING:
Transceivers are installed such that when the wheel-mounted sensor rotates past, the air gap is about
a 1/4"(6mm), and it is in radial alignment with the Sensor - the centerline of both are at the same diameter.
Mounting Adapters are used to facilitate the installation of the Transceivers. For many
of the popular makes and models, appropriate Mounting Adapters have been fitted
and are listed in our database.
If you purchased a model-specific Mounting Adapter TPM kit, appropriate Adapters
with detailed instructions are included.
Front Wheel Adapters:
In most cases, an existing caliper bolt
makes a good mounting location.
Essentially, the tip of the bolt has the dowel
pin pressed-in.
On some bikes, fender brace or a flange of
the lower fork tube is used. Also a universal
fork-tube mount is used for up to 3”
diameters.
Rear Wheel Adapters:
Generally, an existing bolt of the driveshaft
flange or of the link-arm provides a suitable
mounting location. Either of the “L” or “U”
adapters works well. There is also a special
Hex adapter for BMW shaft-drive.
Both Transceivers are identical with 5’ (1.5
meters) long cable, sufficiently long to be able to reach the area under the seat with
the connector end. Each Transceiver has a color-coded band to help identify as front
and rear installations.
Transceivers have a
clamp-base, which slides
over the dowel pin of the
Mounting Adapter. This
allows for axial and radial
adjustments to achieve
the final setting.
Each model-specific
Mounting Adapter kit
includes appropriate
Mounting Adapters. Visit
