METHOD FOR ADAPTING A TIRE-PRESSURE MONITORING DEVICE TO A VEHICLE TYPE, TIRE-PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM HAVING AT LEAST ONE TIRE-PRESSURE MONITORING DEVICE THAT CAN BE ADAPTED BY MEANS OF SAID METHOD, AND TIRE-PRESSURE MONITORING DEVICE THEREFOR

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for adapting a tire pressure monitoring device (1) to a vehicle type, wherein the tire pressure monitoring device (1) is configured to be mounted on a wheel of a vehicle equipped with pneumatic tires A device (3) for measuring the air pressure (tire pressure) present in the pneumatic tire or for measuring the change in tire pressure, and optionally one or more additional devices for measuring variables other than said tire pressure, An electric circuit (4) for controlling a pressure monitoring device (1) and optionally for processing measurements transmitted by the measuring devices (3), at least part of the electric circuit (4) , A memory (5, 6) in which a program for the circuit (4) is stored, an electrical power source (11) for powering the tire pressure monitoring device (1) And a first transmitter (8) operating in a first frequency range configured to transmit data from the tire pressure monitoring device (1) to a first receiver (9) located outside the tire pressure monitoring device (1); Here, one basic version of the program is initially stored in the memory (5, 6) from which a plurality of different versions of the program may be developed for a plurality of vehicle types, And a full version suitable for the selected vehicle type is generated by storing predetermined program parameters in the memory 5, 6 of the tire pressure monitoring device 1 for the selected vehicle type.;
