Will Ward Pressure Track work on all types of vehicles?
Yes. From delivery trucks to 22 wheel commercial trucks Ward Pressure Track will read up to 150 PSI and from 1 to 34 tire positions.
How long will the sensor batteries last?
The sensors are sealed units and when the system indicates low sensor battery power, a new sensor should be ordered. For most vehicles including RV's and trucks, sensor batteries are expected to last for approximately 3 years and the entire sensor can be replaced at a reasonable cost.
For inside duals with inward facing stems can you make it easier?
Ward Pressure Track alleviates part of the problem by monitoring tire pressure constantly, alerting when pressure is low and saving you the trouble of having to reach the inside tires to check pressure. No need to manually check tire pressures - using Ward Pressure Track makes tire pressure maintenance quick and easy. Another consideration is to use valve stem extensions that face outward and can be reached from the outside dual area.
How strong is the Ward Pressure Track signal?
Ward Pressure Track will read up to 100 feet under most conditions. Radio signals have restrictions placed by law and Ward Pressure Track complies with all regulations and FCC guidelines. The signal from the sensor is strong and specific to the receiver, which is tuned for sensitivity to the sensor signal.
Will I have to rebalance the tires after the installation of the sensors?
With the majority of vehicles and tires, there is no need to rebalance the tires. Sensors weigh under 2/3 oz. and seldom create an imbalance requiring attention.
What if I lose a sensor?
Replacement sensors are available by contacting Ward.
Can I use Ward Pressure Track with equalizers I have on my duals?
Yes, systems like this can be used with Ward Pressure Track. While the advantage of Ward Pressure Track is its ability to check and keep tabs on each tire individually, it is adaptable to work with other systems.
How reliable is Ward Pressure Track for different vehicles and conditions?
Ward Pressure Track has been designed and tested to work under all types of conditions. Reliability of the communication signal is the key to Ward Pressure Track systems. A strong signal and sensitivity to the communication requires a unique engineering design to capture the signal under all types of conditions including outside electronic interference, weather and other vehicles. As with cell phones, signal interference is always a possibility, but Ward Pressure Track has been designed with redundant signals to ensure greater reliability at all times and under all types of conditions.
Is theft a problem?
Sensor locks are now available, however, theft has not been a problem. With the increased interest in tire pressure monitoring and the increased use of monitoring systems, theft could happen without the sensor locks. Ward Pressure Track alerts when a sensor is removed from the system but as with anything, if it is installed, it can be stolen.
Why is tire pressure important?
Government and Industry studies show that keeping tires properly inflated reduces stresses and heat on the tire casing increasing safety and tread life. Properly inflated tires roll easier than tires low on pressure, giving greater fuel efficiency and saving money. Tires last longer saving natural resources and decreasing the waste problem caused by worn out tires. Greater safety is provided for you, passengers, equipment and others who share the road when tire pressure is kept at the proper levels.
