How IntelliSens works
IntelliSens is fitted to the valve in the rim of the wheel.
Each of the four sensors measures the temperature
and air pressure separately for each tire, and then
transmits this data via radio signal to the vehicle's
central control unit.

A: Wheel electronics with valve
B: Control unit
C: Driver information system

How IntelliSens warns
The universal sensor warns the driver instantly
and accurately by illuminating an indicator light
on the dashboard, and by showing which of the
tires has a pressure problem in a display.
This allows the driver and the service center to
see at a glance which tire needs to be checked.

Configuration in just seconds
The BH SENS Intellisens Universal Sensor  is pre-programmed with the protocols of numerous tire pressure sensors for various vehicles models. It can be configured during installation in just a few seconds with the aid of a diagnostic tool. This not only speeds up the work flow, but also keeps the customer from waiting too long. 

Update function
Via the TPMS tool, the IntelliSens Universal Sensors receive an update of the latest vehicle protocols that always keep the tire pressure sensors up-to-date.

Precision fit
The universal sensor consists of only five individual components that can be assembled quickly thanks to the unique fastening concept.

Optimization of inventory
The IntelliSens Universal Sensor fits almost all vehicles and rim types on the market. This simplifies stock-keeping in the service center.

Convenient valve assembly process
in just a few steps
Quick and easy for mechanics to install.

Added safety
A study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Association (NHTSA, USA) showed that vehicles with a tire pressure at the recommended level are much more likely to be involved in an accident due to tire damage. Detecting and eliminating tire pressure problems early on improves drivability and prevents accidents caused by tire damage.

Reduces the cost of driving
The TPMS helps to extend the lifetime of a tire. A tire with 20% less pressure than the recommended level shortens the lifetime of the tire tread by up to 25%. Switching to a direct measurement TPMS offers financial benefits through the extended service life.

Greener roads
Driving with the correct air pressure in your tires can save 1-3% in fuel costs. Lower fuel consumption and a longer service life of the tire lead to a reduction in CO2 emissions. Driving with the correct air pressure can lower fuel costs by 1-3%. By reducing the fuel consumption and extending the lifetime of the tires, IntelliSens contributes to the reduction of CO₂ emissions.

Less time spent at the service center
Due to an easy mounting concept the IntelliSens Sensors can be replaced quickly. That means getting the same quality as an original sensor with less time spent at the service center.

In OEM quality for the aftermarket
BH SENS supplies retailers with genuine spare sensors in OE quality for all of the systems supplied to automakers. The IntelliSens universal sensor, which is of the same quality and has the same features, was developed especially for service centers.

Direct-measurement systems for the greatest accuracy
IntelliSens is fitted directly to the valve and measures the tire pressure and temperature from the inside of every tire. This data is then displayed on the dashboard by a control unit. This method of measurement is not only faster, but also more accurate than indirect methods that use ABS/ESP sensors.

IntelliSens – in a flash
Installing the IntelliSens is as easy as it is quick – whether you’re changing a set of tires or just the sensor. Programming is done with the aid of a TPMS diagnostic tool. Product portfolio

Legal situation in the EU
In Europe, the ECE-R 64 stipulates that as of November 2014, all newly registered vehicles from the category of passenger cars (M1) and light commercial vehicles (N1) must be equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). From 2022 it is expected that the legislation will be extended to other vehicle categories (heavy commercial vehicles, buses, trailers). 

Legislation in USA
Since 2008, every newly registered passenger vehicle must have been fitted with a tire pressure monitoring system (THREAD ACT). Around 170 million vehicles are now equipped with them, about 95% of which have direct-measurement systems due to the advantages.

Legislation in Asia
With the introduction of the GB 26149 in China, all new vehicles from the passenger car sector must be equipped with tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) from January 2019 onwards. For homologated vehicles and mini vans already approved, a TPMS duty will come into force in China from 2020.
In South Korea the TPMS legislation applies to all newly registered passenger cars since 2015.
In Taiwan, there has been a TPMS duty for passenger cars since July 2016.
