The new Doran 360HD wireless tire pressure sensors are able to withstand temperatures up to 257 degrees F that can occur in trucks tasked with heavy loads and stop-and-go driving, their maker said. The ability to withstand such severe heat stress allows the valve-stem mounted sensors to continuously take tire pressure readings and transmit them to the in-cab display monitor. With at-a-glance status updates including a new patent-pending Green Means GOOD indicator, the Doran 360HD is suitable for fleets which must endure the rigors of frequent stops and starts – like refuse vehicles, recycling trucks, delivery fleets, and more.
“The sensor material, potting process and unique three-piece seal design of the Doran 360HD sensors provide a powerful line of defense against extreme heat,” said Doran GM Jim Samocki. “Ultimately, eliminating tire pressure problems will improve the bottom line performance for truck fleets by minimizing operating costs associated with tire failures.”
This system monitors up to 36 tires for truck, tractor and trailer applications with wireless tire pressure sensors that are screwed on to the valve stems and transmit a signal to a monitor in the cab. The driver is alerted through audible and visual alarms that provide a warning signal and identify the location and pressure of the problem tire. In addition, a new “Fast Leak” alarm is built in to the system to provide drivers with the information they need to quickly become aware of low tire-pressures so they can be addressed and costly breakdowns and catastrophic tire failures can be avoided.
The system works with traditional dual-tire configurations or wide-base single tire applications. A simple to operate monitor includes a digital LCD screen with backlit display, and the spin-welded wireless tire pressure sensors are corrosion resistant, the maker noted. Additionally, a “sleep” mode ensures that tire pressures continue to be monitored, but triggered warnings are withheld until the driver turns the ignition on.
