Cannot find the pulse system.  Only the pro.  Found it once.  Link?

Attached is the User Manual with good instructions to program each wheel sensor.

Plug display into 12v outlet.  Program each sensor.  That's all there is to setup.  There are a few display choices on how to view PSI & alarms, etc.

We like our Pulse.

Bought and temporary installed system. Impressive. Barry did you install extended antenna? If so any cable routing advice?

Thanks Joey

I'm not Barry but my 40 footer did not need an extender. I'm very pleased with my Pressure Pro so far.

Two things:

1. DARN YOU
This post cost me about $700 on the purchase of a Pressure Pro Pulse system with 10 sensors.  I called their US office phone number and got a 15% discount.

2. VERY GOOD
So far, this system far exceeds my prior EEZ RV TPMS. The Pressure Pro Pulse gets:

A+ for two-day delivery
A+ for user interface and display clarity
A+ for sensor setup
A+ for sensor pressure accuracy, standing still in driveway
D  for mounting choices: only a cheap strip of velcro was provided. No mounting bracket provided.

I will update this post after my first trip.

With the high-bond tape provided, I stuck the antenna behind the driver's seat on the part of the window that doesn"t slide.

Joey,

We already had an extended antenna, so we used it with our new Pressure Pro Pulse.

We were upgrading/replacing a legacy Pressure Pro system that was initially purchased over 15 years ago.  Back then when the display did not consistently receive rear & tow car sensors, PP sold a remote wired antenna.

Our PP monitor is mounted to a box on our center dash.  We ran the long coax cable from the monitor around the dash and then under the couch as far rearward as it would reach, so our external antenna ended up on the floor under our refrigerator.  No-slide coaches have greater flexibility on streetside wire runs.  We also have run other cables to the rear, under the couch.

In later years, PP and others offered a 12v powered 'repeater' that re-transmitted on the same sensor frequency.  The wireless extender could be mounted anywhere, even in the bedroom.  Wireless seemed to work quite well, but we never went that route and stayed with our original long coax.

I don't think our Pulse monitor came with any antenna, so some antenna has to be used.  Even if a wireless repeater is used, a small antenna has to be on the monitor.

Tim, PP sells a very nice $5 AAP42 mounting bracket for the Pulse.  We used it for our mounting.

Joey,  Nice that you have the long antenna coax and antenna.

Ours antenna is pretty much in the same plane, but ours is under the front of the fridge just inside the furnace air intake grill.

Speaking about fridge, we have the same rear view with our 10 CU electric refrigerator, even with the exact same plugged propane tubing.  Like the way you sealed the back bottom edge.

Our first trip is complete. The Pulse works great except:

- Once powered up, takes up to 5 minutes for it to receive a signal from all sensors. I can live with that.
- Cannot see all pressures at a glance. My old EEZRV had this feature.

It's worth the price to see tire pressures BEFORE departure.

We leave our Pulse TPMS powered 24/7 (when coach is not stored).  Nice to have early alerts to a slow leak, or to quickly learn someone has tampered with a sensor.
