Doran 360™ Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems: An Overview

The next generation Doran Tire Pressure Monitor product line features the most innovative system of its kind on the market today. Reliable, durable, accurate, attractive and easy to install--Doran has taken tire pressure monitoring systems to a new level of simplicity and sophistication.

Basic concept of tire pressure monitoring

Designed from the ground up, extensive customer research has aided us in designing tire pressure monitoring systems for use on RVs, trucks, trailers, fifth wheels, towed vehicles, buses and motorcycles. Our next generation tire pressure monitoring system alerts the driver with both an audible and a visual alert of low tire pressure, high pressure and/or fast leak situations in up to 36 wheel positions. For trucks, we have even included a built-in memory to let you know the exact time and day when and which tire had an alert. The Doran 360TM tire pressure monitoring system is engineered to be both simple to operate and to install. No special tools are required. In fact, it is as easy as simply programming the monitor, plugging in the monitor, (or hard wiring it) and screwing on the sensors to the valve stems.

How Do Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems Work?

With the Doran 360™ tire pressure monitoring systems, the sensors are continuously reading analyzing and communicating signals to the monitor about the air pressure in each tire.

With each signal, the air pressure reading is transmitted to the display located nearest the driver. This wireless signal will read up to 130 feet (line of sight) for the truck and RV systems and up to 35 feet (line of sight) for the motorcycle system under most conditions. The systems are designed to do all of this without the use of any additional external antennas!

The tire pressure monitoring system display receives this signal and instantly compares the current tire pressure reading with the programmed baseline pressure level. When the Doran tire pressure monitor sensor sends a signal to the monitor detecting a 12.5% difference in tire pressure from the baseline pressure, both a visual and an audible signal are transmitted. With a flashing tire position light, an audible beep, as well as the flashing tire pressure, the operator knows which tire(s) is/are in need of attention. If the tire pressure drops to 25% below the automatically set pressure level, the operator will receive another audible sound (beeping). The Doran tire pressure monitor also includes a "Fast Leak" alert to notify you if a tire that is losing air quickly. The "Fast Leak" alarm will be activated when the tire pressure drops by 2.8 psi in less than 12 seconds. In addition, we have even incorporated an optional high pressure alert to warn you in situations where the pressure in your tires have increased by more than 25% above the baseline pressure and may be overheating.

If you have a metal skinned coach/trailer or have a longer application, a tire pressure monitoring system signal booster may be needed to prevent signal loss. For these types of applications, we have three available accessories to assist with boosting a signal: an interior signal booster (model #3624), exterior signal booster (model #3625) and a remote antenna kit (model #3623).

Radio signals have restrictions placed by law, and the Doran tire pressure monitor systems comply with all US FCC and Canadian regulations guidelines.

Green means good™!

For the RV and truck tire pressure monitoring systems, with just one glance at the display, you don't need to review all of your tires' positions to ensure that your tires are operating properly. Just look for the green light, and if it is illuminated, your system is working and your tires are properly inflated.

Being a direct tire pressure monitoring system, the Doran tire pressure monitor system generates more accurate warnings and can alert the driver if the pressure in any one tire falls below a pre-determined baseline level due to either gradual or rapid air loss.

Reliability is the key to the Doran 360 Tire Pressure Monitoring System:

The Doran 360™ tire pressure monitoring system has been designed and tested to handle the extreme conditions of the road and changing weather conditions from coast-to-coast. Reliability of the communication signal is the key to all Doran tire pressure monitor 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 the Doran 360™has been designed with filters and redundant signals to ensure greater reliability at all times and under most conditions.
