TST 507 TPMS...A Review

He has been on the forum before and he says there is no issue as the system is designed to work that way. I asked if he didn't think an hour delay between loss of signal and notification of loss of signal was a bit excessive, but got no reply other than that was the way it was supposed to work.

It's not really my problem alone, it's the problem of everyone who owns a TST TPMS. It's just that not everyone is completely aware of how the system works.

I don't believe that it's just a TST problem. Within the past 12 months, I've read a thread (maybe on another forum) that named one or more other TPMS systems that have a similar delay when radio contact is lost. I've searched and can not find the thread now.

With the TST507 and repeater, I've never experienced the problem on the highway.

If I move the monitor to the toad without removing the motorhome sensors from the monitor programming and drive away in the toad after the monitor has begun to register the motorhome tire pressures, it will be approximately 1 hour before I get the lost signal alert.

I would like an immediate signal if the signal is lost, but in all fairness the TST performs much better than the Tire Sentry I used for many years.

Maybe some other folks with non-TST TPMS systems will post here and let us know how their system handles a loss of signal.
