I performed this test on my 507. It took 1 hour, 58 minutes, and 38 seconds via stop watch before it signaled a lost sensor. Then over the next five minutes it reported the other 3 sensors lost. This really bothered me as I lost a tire on the first trip with the tst507.
That is way too long before the system notified you that your equipment had failed.
Makes me wonder if there is an issue with your monitor since Mike said the monitor should "look" for a sensor for about an hour. Yours took nearly TWO hours.
You lost a tire on a trip? Like, it fell completely off?? Did your TPMS catch that right away or not?
Btw, do you use a repeater/booster?
No repeater. Tire blew out. I called myself watching the pressures and temps but could not say if they were changing or staying the same. It did sound the alarm within seconds of the tire going boom.
I am concerned that it took nearly 2 hours before the monitor signaled that it could not get a signal from the trailer. To test this I was parked in front of my toy hauler and turned the 507 on. After I made sure it was reading all four sensors, I started a stop watch and drove off. I had a long drive to make and after nearly 2 hours it finally started beeping. I do not know if that is normal or an anomaly. I plan to test it again in the near future.
