SmarTire Systems Inc. Tire Monitor System Owner’s Manual Draft 2/25/2003 Page 9 This manual is under review by SmarTire De-mounting the Tire with Transmitter Installed Remove the tire/wheel assembly from vehicle and deflate completely. Loosen both beads with the bead loosener shoe opposite the valve stem (away from the transmitter which is located near the valve stem). Verify the transmitter location. Orient the wheel to place the transmitter 3 in. to the left of the bead guiding shoe so that the mounting bar will clear the transmitter. When lifting the top bead the tire must be clear of the transmitter. Remove the top bead. Set the wheel once more with the transmitter 3 in. to the left of the bead guiding shoe and remove the bottom bead. This will expose the transmitter, which should be checked for correct positioning and a properly snug fit. Transmitter Valve SmarTire Systems Inc.

This value is compared to the Required Pressure to active an alert or warning if needed. Cold Pressure The recommended inflation pressure of a tire at ambient temperature (64º F). Low Pressure Alert The audible and visual alert activated when the tire’s Actual Pressure drops to the programmed value. Low Pressure Warning The audible and visual alert activated when the tire’s Actual Pressure drops to the programmed value. This value is lower than the Low Pressure Alert. Receiver The electronic module that receives data from the transmitter and displays tire pressure alerts. Transmitter The wheel mounted electronic module that measures contained air pressure and temperature and transmits this data to the receiver.

Record ID: Technical Specifications of the Road Voice Receiver By Robert Patterson Vincent Chan The information presented in this document is believed to be accurate and reliable and may be changed without notice. This document and the information contained therein are not to be disclosed to others for any purpose, except as specifically authorized in writing, by SmarTire Systems Inc. Technical Description of the SmarTire Road Voice Receiver The SmarTire Receiver receives wireless signals transmitted from the sensor modules (which are mounted inside the tires of the automobile. The signal is demodulated by the receiver and processed by a microprocessor. The information is sent to RS232 interface. The following outlines the specifications of the receiver. 1. Frequency: 433.92 MHZ ??75 kHz 2. Bandwidth (3dB): 500 kHz (??250 kHz) 3. IF Frequency: 500 kHz 4. LO Frequency: 433.35 MHZ ??74 kHz 5. Sensitivity (12 dB SINAD): -111 dBm ??2 dBm 6. LO emissions: < 200 uv/m @ 3 meters 7. Temperature Range: -40 to 85 ?C Functional Block Diagram of the 433 MHZ Road Voice Receiver Antenna 2 way splitter Saw Filter & LNA SuperHet Receiver Microprocessor RS232 Interface Diagram 1. Block Diagram of Road Voice Receiver Theory of operation As can be seen from the block diagram, the radio portion of the receiver consists of a SuperHet Receiver circuit, front-end filter and LNA and a detector circuit. The RF signal Received by the antenna is mixed with the local oscillator, which converts the signal to an IF of 500 kHz. The signal is then passed through a filter and detected. The digital signal is then processed by a microprocessor. The microprocessor sends data through the RS232 interface.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The SmarTire Receiver 200.0087 receives wireless signals transmitted from the sensor modules (which are mounted inside the tires of the automobile. The signal is demodulated by the receiver and processed by a microprocessor. The information is then displayed on either the LCD display. The SmarTire Receiver 200.0088 receives wireless signals transmitted from the sensor modules (which are mounted inside the tires of the automobile. The signal is demodulated by the receiver and processed by a microprocessor. The information is sent to RS232 interface. On 200.0088 there is a no change in mechanical or pcb layout or electrical. There is a schematic change though. On 200.0087 these parts are not populated. There is no change to the receiver in either design. The receiver then communicates to the display. In 200.0088 these parts are populated. The device will now able to communicate to a computer instead of the Display. The parts are a chip to change the data to RS232 format to be able to communicate to the RS232. 3. TEST FACILITY The 3 meter open area test site and conducted measurement facility used to collect the radiated data is located at 561F Monterey Road, Morgan Hill, California, U.S.A. A detailed description of the test facilities was submitted to the Commission on May 27, 1994.
