<p>A device is provided for sensing the condition of a pneumatic tire preferably of the type used on an automobile wherein the tire is mounted on a tire rim (22). The device comprises a housing (16), a band (24) for mounting the housing to the tire rim, a sensor (20) for monitoring the condition within the tire, circuitry (10) operatively connected to the sensor for generating radio signals indicative of the tire condition, a power supply (12) operatively connected to the circuitry, a centrifugal switch (30), and a receiver (13) for receiving the radio signals. The centrifugal switch may be bypassed with the condition sensor switch to generate the radio signals when the pneumatic tire is stationary.</p> |
