Mobile Awareness Releases New TireStat Commercial-Grade TPMS

Mobile Awareness LLC, Cleveland, a provider of transportation safety products, has introduced TireStat, the next generation of TPMS (tire pressure monitoring and maintenance system) products geared toward commercial trucks, trailers, buses, off-road, construction, RV, EMS and fire trucks.

TireStat is a complete tire pressure monitoring system that is capable of providing benefits such as increased fuel economy, enhanced safety, maximized tire casing life and extended tire wear. The light weight TireStat sensors are mounted externally on the valve stem allowing air input without sensor removal. TireStat is preprogrammed by wheel position for effortless installation, yet can be easily altered by the user, the company says. Its design allows customers to optionally program their own warning alert levels by axle position, offering improved management of fuel and tire expense.

“Mobile Awareness recognizes the need for a driver-friendly TPMS solution which is affordable for all types of vehicle safety environments,” says Brandon Stotsenburg, director of sales and marketing at Mobile Awareness. “Our latest TireStat system provides a compromise-free tire maintenance solution for individuals, businesses and commercial fleets.”

TireStat not only detects under-inflated, over-inflated and rapid leaking tires, it also monitors tire temperature. Knowing when a tire exceeds a safe operating temperature, even when the tire pressure appears to be in a normal range, is important to maximize tire life, extend the ability to retread and enhance driver safety, the company says.

In addition, the TireStat rechargeable handheld monitor functions as a portable tire gauge. As a result, the user can monitor actual tire pressure while adjusting each tire’s inflation level. All TireStat systems include an easily mounted transceiver, which assures continuous transmission of the wireless signals without the inconvenience of installing multiple antennas.

TireStat features also include an integrated anti-theft locking mechanism for the sensors, which are housed in a nylon encasement with a five- to-seven-year battery life. Sensors are designed for harsh environments and operate in all weather conditions within a pressure range of 15 pressure per square inch (psi) to 150 psi.
