Pressure Pro - Temperature Alert

Pressure Pro has upgraded their Monitor's to include a temperature alert function at approximately 205 degree's. The price of the Monitor has been increased by 15.00. I'm not quite sure what advantage that may provide, I suppose a hot wheel due to a hub problem may eventually get to the valve stem. I would think at 205 degree's the tire would be history, they claim 200 is the danger zone.

Prior to this, the only way you could get the temperature feature was to purchase the Data Logger, a more expensive option.

It's a good system, let me know if you want one.

The tire temperatures on our race cars run 175-185 at most tracks,most tires blister at 215-225.

Pressure Pro will honor the older price for the new Monitor with temperature on any order placed prior to July 1st.

It would save you 15.00 if we place an order before the 1st.

Tom, do you have to replace all the wheel sensors as well as the dash monitor to get the new temperature sensing capability?

Gary,

No. You have to purchase the Monitor only. I don't think you can check your temperatures with this new monitor, it just has a hi temp feature now built in that sets off an alarm at 205. I would think that if it has the capability to read a temp, you should be able to monitor that function at anytime.

I'm checking on the temp capabilities with Pressure Pro and will update this later today. They haven't updated their website yet, so I'll get the info from them direct.

My Smartire system came with a default setting of 188 deg to alarm tire/wheel temps. The user may program whatever temp they wish to use.

One of the interesting algorithms in their system is a temp compensated pressure slope function. This predicts the normal increase in pressure due to temperature increase (or decrease in both). An alarm is activated if the actual change in slope varies from predicted. Gives you a more technical approach to variations in pressure and temperature.

What in the world is an algorithm?

And how you cook dat?
