Just read 2oldman's link. Just bought and have not yet installed a TireMinder A1A TPMS. This system has a procedure that allows you to "disconnect" monitoring one set of sensors. The example given is you drop the trailer and take the tow vehicle to town. No alarms until you return and reconnect the trailer sensors. Not sure what happens when one would just walk away from either with the monitor in your pocket. Does the TST system address this issue on their manual?

With our TST 507 system, all it takes is a 3 second press on two buttons to disable the toad monitoring when we're not towing. Repeating the process brings it back.

If you walk away from the TST system with the monitor in your pocket it will be about an hour or so before the alarm sounds. It takes that long for the system to realize it has lost contact with the tire sensors.

I'm pretty sure there is an option to disable individual sensors for a scenario such as you describe, but I don't have my manual handy so I hesitate to state it positively.
