fitment of signal booster (solar)

POSITION 

OPTION 1

POSITION 

OPTION 2

The solar booster should be fitted externally in an area that is close to the rear most sensors and is visible to 
daylight. Because of the vast variance in trailers and rigid vehicles a degree of common sense needs to be 
applied. Fit 2 x boosters, one each side of a rigid vehicle or trailer (note, boosters are not required for tractor 
units) Fit in an area that is close to the rear most sensors which can be above them, in-front of or behind them. 
The roof can be considered as an option. The rear of the vehicle should also be considered as an option if there 
is no other obvious area available. Metallic or glass surfaces are acceptable as a fitting surface, with a none 
metallic surface being preferred.

Note: 
Fit one booster, 
externally, to either side 
OR TO THE REAR of the 
vehicle.

The fitting area 
should be cleaned and 
free from rust/dirt/
grease.

The signal booster should be fitted as close to the rear TPMS/Wheel loss sensor as possible.
