TPMS failures

If a TST system takes an hour to alert you to loss of sensor signal, how long does it take to tell you about a blowout, or loss of pressure? Sounds sort of worthless to me? I'm in the market for a system and that is good to know.

I have a 507 TST system.

Recently I adjusted the pressures on my 10 sensors.

When I removed the sensors 8 of them took about 15 seconds before the receiver alarmed. 2 sensors took about 5 seconds.

Ummm...yeahhh....I'm not sure what TST 507 system other have been using. Maybe older version? I dunno.....But mine works just like RC MAN posted - lost signal = pretty near instant alarm.

I also know it will go off fairly fast for pressure alarm. I changed the pressure in my tires and forgot to reset the monitor. It went off as soon as it cycles through all the sensors and got took readings. Maybe 15 / 20 seconds.

And I kept an eye on the temps as more of sign of trouble than air pressure - a low tire gets pretty hot.
Being the first time I have traveled with the system, I watched it pretty closely even checking to see how the hot side on the sun varied from the shadowed / cold side. Not much, but you can see a few degrees difference.
