After 18months of use I've relegated the unit to the cubby box, the audible alarms are all you really need.

what happens when dogs **** on em.........

Just to let potential customers know.

The new version requires the relay as the sensors will not "talk" directly to the monitor.

I plan to use 4 sensors on the road wheels and two on my spares or the trailer depending on the circumstances.

Correct....relay needed.

If you setup as per my earlier post, it will work fine. You can set up as 4 monitor only and then change when towing....I just leave at 6 as the trailer is connected often.

My previous tyre dog system after 7 years failed. It saved me twice....so it paid for itself and then some.

No issues with the location of the sensors. Mine have been in mud, underwater, rock crawling, huge amounts of corrugations...and only had one cracked outer case which cost less than $10 to fix.

I see on their website the older model with five sensors has an accuracy of +/- 1.5psi, whereas the new version with the relay has an accuracy of +/- 3psi, probably due to the 0-60 and 0-180 respective psi range. So can I assume (@ 3psi accuracy) these would be used for more of an early warning device for losing pressure, rather than an accurate measure of correct inflation, which should be done with better accuracy?

My first set sat at 1psi over all the time, but the new set sits at 2psi over all the time.

Have checked both sets many times at different temps and pressures and find them to be totally reliable.
