JOSN TPMS FAQ
 
ITME Question and Answer
Q1
Is JOSN TPMS a ‘DIRECT’ or ‘INDIRECT’ TPMS solution?
  ‘DIRECT’ TPMS
Q2
How can receiver get ID from sensors?
  Receiver can learn IDs from its own sensors by 28 bit signal
Q3
Any possibility that sensors could be stolen?
  Sensor needs special tool to remove and it will only work with original receiver.
Q4
How robust of JOSN TPMS sensor will be?
  JOSN TPMS sensor provides media and humidity protection needed for demanding automotive environments. These tests include accelerated humidity testing, long-term pressure and temperature cycling, as well as exposure to chemicals commonly found in Tyre Pressure Monitoring Applications.
Q5
What is sensor’s output power?
  < 5 dBm
Q6
What is the maximum number of sensors that TD-2000A-X can support?
  36 units
Q7
Are TD-1000A-X, TD-2000A-X, TD-3000A-X ready for shipping?
Yes, the first three products are ready for shipping now
Q8
What’s JOSN’s TPMS sensor operating temperature range?
From sensor to receiver, they can operate between -30C to 145C
Q9
What’s the competitive advantage of JOSN TPMS
Low power consumption and small size and light weight of its sensors. More outstanding features please refer to our datasheet.
Q10
Does JOSN R&D team support other OEM/OEM project?
Yes
Q11
What’s the difference between JOSN TPMS product lines?
  JOSN is trying to expand features with original TPMS solution and JOSN is able to provide customers no matter functionality enhancement or customized design TPMS solutions.
Q12
How to handle rigid weather conditions when TPMS installed?
JOSN has special design on housing to prevent water drop. Sensor is water-proof and metal plate beside sensor is needed. We already have strict examination on water/humidity issue.
Q13
Can the system detect the sensor module correctly after initialization if the tyre is changed for e.g. front left tyre put at back right while servicing of car?
  A learning phase must be performed each time with a special sequence.
Q14
Is it possible that more than two sensors interfere with each other?
As each sensor has its own ID and it costs very little time to transmit signals, it’s hard to interfere with other sensors.
Q15
How precise to calculate temperature and pressure of tyre?
0.5 psi pressure accuracy
Q16
Does JOSN have roadmap of TPMS development?
We do have and as long as you are one of our valuable customers, we could support you on all necessary datasheet and documents.
Q17
What’s the advantage of JOSN TPMS to after-market?
Most efficiency and flexibility for after market as no extra cost for labour to install sensor within tyre and no need for wiring. Please refer to our datasheet and you could find more.
Q18
How frequent does JOSN sensors measure temperature and pressure?
Sensors will get data in every five second and transmit information to receiver as long as pressure value is changed.
Q19
How to install sensor?
JOSN provides two kinds of models. Internal sensing module is mounted valve stem of the wheel. External sensor is only screwed onto the valve stem to take place of the valve caps.
Q20
How much is sensor’s power consumption?
The sensor itself will consume the following: idle- supply current is ???nA, pressure measurement model, consumes ???mA and both temperature measurement and the output reading consume ???mA.
Q21
Is it possible to combine car alarm and JOSN TPMS together?
JOSN provides TD-3000A-X which have the two functions in one device.
Q22
Many say that it’s difficult to install internal sensor within wheels. How does JOSN handle with this issue?
We do sort out this issue and minimize its size and weight to the extreme. The weight is around 10gm (Xtype) and 15gm (Itype) and the size is almost half of others’. As a matter of fact, JOSN TPMS TD-2000A is specially designed to fit the needs of truck and other cars with more than four-wheel.
Q23
Does JOSN have other products rather than TPMS?
JOSN has experience on developing car electronic devices for more than 10 years. We are able to support on other ODM/OEM projects.
Q24
How long does JOSN TPMS system will wake up micro processor?
It’s the key to save power in the battery life. Basically JOSN calculate the power budget and the time response for every simulation. The sensors of JOSN TPMS system will wake up the micro processor every ???seconds.
Q25
會有掉signal的問題嗎?如果有怎麼防治?
 
Q26 Will JOSN provide colour LCD receiver for TPMS system?
Yes, on the roadmap
