When a TST tire sensor fails it will take one hour before the monitor will alarm.
Same for loss of signal.
Sorry you musta had a bad experience, but I used the TST system for a 4k mile trip this season and my only problem was that my set up puts me right on the edge for signal strength. I need to add the repeater, even though I was assured by many that I would not need it.
In my case, the alarm went off instantly when the signal was lost every time. I got tired of trying to get it to "catch" again, which required getting the receiver closer to the TT tires (not easy / fast when trying to get miles down the road). I learned to just cycle the power off and back on to the readout unit and then it just flashed silently 'till the signal was caught again at the next fuel stop.
