Tyrecheckers® Light Vehicle LED Alert Caps
Tyrecheckers® LED Alert Caps are a highly visible and extremely accurate way of monitoring your tyre pressure and simply replace the dustcap on your tyre valve.
The LED Alert Caps allow you to monitor your tyre pressure by flashing red when the tyre pressure drops 4psi below the set pressure. This provides you a clear visual warning when your tyre pressure is below vehicle specifications and needs to be inflated.
Tyrecheckers® Alert Caps are suitable for all Light Vehicles with a tyre pressure between 10-60psi.
Priced at $60.00 for a 4 pack and $30 for a 2 pack, the LED Alert Caps are a cost effective way to monitor your tyre pressure.
Suitable for any light vehicle with tyre pressure between 10-60psi including
- Car
- 4X4
- Motorcycle
- Caravan
- Campervan
- Motorhome
- Trailer
- Delivery Van
- Minibus
- Motorised Scooters
How do Tyrecheckers® Light Vehicle LED Alert Caps Work?
The first time you put the Alert Cap onto the valve stem it takes a sample of the tyre pressure and saves it to a reference chamber. If the tyre pressure drops 4psi below the original pressure, the LED light will start flashing every 1.5 seconds until the tyre pressure returns to original pressure setting.
Tyre pressure is correct
Tyre pressure is low
How to Fit - Tyrecheckers® simply replace the dust cap on your tyre valve.
- Check tyre pressure and inflate to recommended vehicle pressure.
- Using your fingers, begin to screw alert cap onto the valve stem thread.
- Put the key supplied into grooves of alert cap & continue to twist as tight as you can.
- To verify proper installation, unscrew the cap and it will flash red if fitted correctly.
- Screw the alert cap back on firmly.
- Important A loose cap will cause a flat tyre.
- The alert cap will now monitor your tyre pressure 24/7.
Please be aware that once set the Tyre Pressure Alert Caps cannot be re-calibrated for a different tyre pressure.
The anti-theft version has a free spinning stainless sleeve around the main housing, which prevents the unit from being removed without the special key.
Motorcycle Precaution
After fitting tyrecheckers to motorcycle wheels that have valve stems at 90 degrees to the rim i.e. horizontal or right angled valve stems, owners are advised to rotate each wheel SLOWLY a full 360 degrees to ensure adequate clearance exists between the top of the Tyrechecker and swingarms (frame of motorcycle) and brake calipers. This step is particularly important for owners of motorcycles with single-sided swingarms e.g. Triumph Sprint ST, Honda VFR800 and Harley Davidson Softail, Electra Glide & Road King Classic models. A clearance problem may be solved by fitting normal valve stems (vertical stems) or shorter than standard tyre valve stems when new tyres are fitted.
