PMM takes a closer look at the Bluetooth TPMS sensor from Bartec: the rite-sensor blue.
Simple testing
Rite-sensor blue is the latest tool from Bartec designed to satisfy an emerging need in TPMS service. A Bluetooth TPMS replacement sensor, for EVs like Tesla, the product is said to be fast and easy to use. Simply test for a faulty sensor with a Bartec TPMS tool, install the rite-sensor blue and then drive the vehicle. The resulting repair saves both time and money for the technician and customer.
Suitable for…
This new TMPS sensor is suitable for Tesla Models S, 3, X and Y, right out of the box. The TPMS tools TECH600 and TECH450 activate and decode the OE fitted sensor to diagnose a fault such as low battery in the sensor, making vehicle diagnosis accurate and fast. If one of the OE sensors fail due to low battery, then there is a chance that the other sensors on the car will also fail having experienced the same duty cycle. The tools will diagnose this for the technician and enable the repair of multiple sensors in one visit if required.
Colours available
Keeping up with demand the ritesensor blue has two stem options to meet the various wheel colours. These options are aluminium and black.
What they’re saying…
“The rite-sensor blue and the associated tool diagnostics are the latest example of how Bartec are out in front of the TPMS market with solutions. Tesla led the way with this technology, but several other OEs are planning to fit Bluetooth sensors and we look forward to supporting our tyre shop and repair shop customers with effective tools and sensors ahead of the market.”
