JohnDow Industries has added TPMS Retro Kit Sensors to its Dynamic division’s line of products. The sensors have been designed for vehicles without manufacturer-installed tire pressure monitoring systems.
They are available in external (DY-BLE-E) and internal (DY-BLE-I) sensor options. Also available is the TPMS Repeater (DY-BLE-R) to extend overall signal distance up to 30 feet.
Both sensor options work with the easy-to-use Dynamic BLE phone app to program and assign up to 36 sensors.
According to JohnDow officials, "the external Retro Kit Sensors replace a tire’s valve cap to measure tire pressure and temperature. Designed to swap out to other vehicles, these sensors are as easy to install as screwing on a valve cap.
"The internal Retro Kit Sensors act as a traditional TPMS sensor, installed inside of the tire. These TPMS sensors come with four valve color options and are ideal for boat trailers or a long-term TPMS solution.
"The Dynamic BLE TPMS app provides options to set up multiple vehicle profiles with real-time data and alerts including fast leak, high/low-pressure, high temperature and sensor low battery, all from a phone or tablet."
“We hear all the time about boat trailer tires or heavy-duty tires blowing out on the highway, causing – at a minimum – very hazardous conditions,” says Greg Iorfida, national sales manager of JohnDow's Dynamic division. “These new TPMS Retro Kit sensors provide critical pressure and temperature information that could prevent a lot of these incidents.”
