Hi Everyone. I apologize for the delay in responding but was having computer issues over the weekend. I also apologize for any issue you may be having with your Valor TPMS System. What I have read is an intermittent dropping of sensor readings and normally this is caused by an antenna issue...

To reset the baseline, on the back of the display is a small reset button. Once you have the proper air pressure in all the tires, press and hold the reset button for about 8 seconds. The display will beep and all numbers on front will disappear and go to 00.0. The next pressure the display...

Dave. Thanks for pointing out the location of the instructions. Jim Beletti had posted it there a short while ago. Valor is in the process of rewriting all our manuals and installation instructions. Once completed, I will send to Jim to post the updated versions.

That is perfect. Thanks for the message on the Forum. Enjoy your travels.

Yes you can use the same antenna. The only difference is you will have to replace the chips in the display with the chips that come with your 365. The chips are specific to the sensors installed in the wheels. Once you change to the new chips, you will have to reset baseline for the new...

Congratulations on your recent purchase of the 365. The antenna is not connected to the Fifth Wheel. The coax cable runs from the display under the truck to beneath the 2" receiver. I believe that the antenna that came with the kit may not be long enough to reach all the way back so I will...

Murray During testing at Goodyear when the tires are in the identical environment and no differences or external factors then the temp is within 1 degree. When tires are parked, there are so many things affecting the resting temp, from shade and sun to wind and external heat sources. When...

I can be reached at my cell (734) 634-3278 or email don.rigby@valortpms.com

Dave10a Can you please call me? I am curious about the 50 Ohm coax you added. If it fixed you system great and I would like to use it as a fix for other RVers. (And I can take credit for it) Don

Murry135 - thank you for the kind words and the endorsement. I agree with everything you said. I did mention in part of this thread about a customer (non-Heartland) I have who experienced a brake hang up on this Fifth Wheel and the Valor display notified him. He was able to pull over and...

Don I love a challenge. Please call me to discuss. Don R (734) 634-3278

I cannot speak for my competition and how their system reports low pressure or how quickly they notify the driver. But the Valor sensor monitors pressure and temperature every 4 seconds and reports to the display every 10-16 seconds. If there is an issue, the Valor monitor responds immediately...

That may work when the trailer is stopped. However, blow outs occur while you are driving on the road. Thumping the tires with your mag light at 55 MPH is difficult. The safety and cost effectiveness of the monitoring system pays for itself if it saves 1 blowout. According to the National...

I apologize, my answer was not complete. The Valor system is 100% programmed to 433.92 mHz. Our antennas and sensors are synced to the FCC frequency. The system we supply to Heartland is the same Heavy Duty quality we offer to the Commercial and Mining industry which is a very harsh...

This is Don from Valor. I would like to clarify many of the messages received concerning dropped sensors. Manzan referenced the 507 which is the external system provided by TST. I cannot address their issue. However, the original message from EPaulikonis is the Valor system and I am working...

In reply to EPaulikonis - As we discussed on the phone, please move the antenna to the side of the receiver tube. My senior technician indicated that the antennas are programmed to read at any angle and by mounting horizontal to the bumper and ground, the radio waves should be read stronger...

This is new territory for me but based on what you said of the "---" showing on the new display, I can only believe that the chips in the back that read the sensor values also got melted in the heat. I will send out a Smart Tool loaner and 4 new chips for you to program. When you receive the...

I have never heard of our display melting down like that. I will send you a new display and a return shipping label for you to return the melted one. All you will have to do is to move the chips in the back of the melted display to the same locations on the new display. Once you plug the power...

Thanks for the Rally I would like to thank everyone who stopped at my table during the Market Place at the Rally last weekend. It was nice to meet many of you and to discuss the Valor TPMS option for your Heartland RV. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about TPMS or...

Just call whenever you get the chance. Don't worry about the time zone difference. My phone is on 24/7. - Don

I suggest I send you a 3M extension to move the antenna to under the receiver tube at the far gack of your GMC. What the issue with the others is the -.-- that is showing. Normally that is a chip error. Please call me so I can send you the extension (734) 634-3278 - Don

That is not the normal operation of the Valor system. I believe the issue is the chip that is associated with the sensor. I can send out a diagnostic tool and work with you to verify. Please contact me at 734-634-3278 - Don

I apologize for any inconvenience this is causing you. The rolling of the tires is not the cause or cure, its the location of the sensor and any possible obstructions that may occur at certain moments in the transmitting. This is rare occurrence and normally, when the sensor transmits, the...

Thanks Gary. I believe you are correct in an antenna issue. The antenna needs to be located at the rear bumper to be able to accurately pick up the rear tire sensors. The cause of the intermittant readings is when the tire rolls down the road, the sensor will be away from the truck and lose...

Clarification to the brightness of the Valor display. When installed on the windshield, the brightness of the sun can make it so the display is not distinguishable. This is very similar to the brightness issue with a GPS located on the windshield. Valor is working in brightening the LEDs to...

Unfortunately, at this time we do not have a solution for the brightness of the display. I will continue to investigate and will report when any answers are found. - Don

My name is Don Rigby. I am the Valor RV Account Manager. I have just joined the Heartland Forum group and will be glad to address any questions you have concerning the Valor TPMS. I look forward to communicating with everyone. I appreciate the kind words on the Valor system and customer...
