using iPhone 8 Plus, in-vehicle, running TPMSii app)
Pressure sensing:
14 to 188psi
1 to 13bar
Accuracy
Pressure sensing: +/- 1% + LSD (last significant digit) at full scale
Resolution: 0.1psi
App pressure display increments: 0.1psi (0.1bar)
Temperature sensing
Incorporated but not applicable to externally-fitted sensors
Power
Standby current: 2.2uA (less when not fitted to a tyre)
TX: 3.4mA
RX: 3.7mA
Battery capacity: 140 mAh. Not user replaceable.
Chemistry: Manganese oxide Lithium
Operational life: typically 2 years

Place of manufacture: Mainland China
Physical
Sensor weight: 10g
Lock nut weight: 2.5g
Sensor dimensions: 21.6mm max OD x 20mm height
Fitting: standard Schrader valve
Extension of valve when WiCap fitted: 13mm
(Please check that the WiCaps, when fitted,
will not extend beyond the outer wall of your tyres)
Wheel balance: may be impacted at high speeds by fitting sensors to tyre valves. Generally this is not an issue at legal towing speeds. If vibration is detected or you are in doubt, wheel balancing is recommended
Water and dust protection: IP67
(applicable only when WiCap is fitted to a tyre valve)
Kit contents
Presentation box with magnetic closure
WiCap sensors: 2 or 4
Lock nuts: 2 or 4
Folding spanner for easy lock nut and battery replacement

App:
TPMSii app for iOS (iPhone and iPad).
An Android version is available but currently there are compatibility issues with some Android versions.
Please contact us for the latest information re. work in progress.
Compatible with Bluetooth 4.2 and 5
App uses mobile device's screen for display of pressure data
Pressure limit warnings: speech, vibration, visual
Speech selectable: on/off
Pressure measurement range up to 180psi (13 bar)
Speech and visual warning (for low inflation pressure) lower limit range: 1.5 to 36.2 psi (0.1 to 2.5 bar)*
We are currently developing our own very advanced app. Customers will be advised when this app is available.
* We recommend setting the lower limit speech and visual warning threshold at 20% to 25% lower than cold inflation pressure. Due to software limitation,this is not possible with
tyre cold inflation pressures of > 45psi to 48psi respectively.
You'll still get accurate pressure readings whatever your tyre pressures or settings.
Speech and visual warning upper limit range:
40.6 to 92.8 psi (2.8 to 6.4 bar)
Speech and visual warning for rapid air loss:
unlimited pressure range)
Speech warning, where applicable: American English
Tyre pressures are displayed for up to four tyres
Pressure units used for screen display :
selectable psi, bar, kPa
Number of sensors supported: 2 to 4
Battery level warning
