HELLA TPMS sensors: precise monitoring, fast installation

A direct tyre pressure monitoring system offers decisive advantages over indirect systems.

1. Precise pressure measurement

Direct TPMS systems measure the tyre pressure in each tyre individually and provide precise pressure values that are transmitted to the vehicle in real time. This enables more accurate monitoring compared with indirect systems based on calculated values.

2. Rapid warning

In the event of a sudden or gradual loss of pressure, the direct system immediately triggers a warning. The vehicle can inform the driver of the exact tyre at an early stage so that action can be taken quickly.

3. Detection of slow pressure losses

Direct systems also detect slow, continuous pressure losses that the indirect system may not recognise. This is particularly useful for detecting small leaks or creeping air loss.

4. Temperature measurement

TPMS sensors from FORVIA HELLA not only record the tyre pressure, but also the temperature of the tyres - important additional information in the event of overheating or increased strain, such as at high speeds.

5. Avoidance of false alarms

Unlike the indirect system, which is based on wheel speeds and which can trigger false alarms under different tyre conditions such as uneven wear or the combination of different tyres, the direct system is more accurate and more reliable.
