Schrader has spent substantial effort in developing this product and it is one of the first of its kind in industry. Having the subject information easily available to "competition" would negate the advantage they have achieved by developing this product. Not protecting the details of the design will result in financial hardship.

The Schrader Electronics BMW Clamp In Sensor is designed to be used in a direct measurement TPM (Tire Pressure Monitoring) System. The TPM Sensor is intended to interface to a receiver/decoder that has been designed to accept the TPM sensor protocol. The TPM Sensor is designed to monitor a vehicle's tyre pressure whilst driving or stationary. An electronic unit inside each tyre (referred to as the TPM Sensor or TPM transmitter) mounted to the valve stem, periodically measures actual tyre pressure/temperature. By means of an RF link, this pressure information is transmitted to a receiver/decoder. The incoming radio frequency signals are decoded, and the data used to inform the driver of the tyre pressure information via the vehicles TPM interface. TPM Sensor main functions are: • Regularly measure the tyre pressure. • Monitor if the wheel is moving. • Periodically transmit tyre pressure using an RF link and a specific protocol. • Monitor condition of the battery and notify the system during an RF transmission if the battery performance degrades. • Notify the system if there are abnormal pressure variations (leak) in the tyre.

Consumer Use Modes Manufacturing & Service Modes Mode of Operation Explanation Frequency of Transmission X Forced Transmission "Learn Mode" (dealer / plant) On receipt of a particular LF sequence this Forced transmission allows the interrogation of the sensor in the vehicle factory or dealership Forced Transmission as required X Low battery Transmitter in normal operation when a low battery flag has been set - wheel is rotating Transmission rate depending on Drive mode X Off Mode Part is in an off state, No transmissions, Exit b y LF or ∆ P No transmissions X Stationary Mode Transmitter is stationary - No motion has been detected wheel is stationary.
