Fast Turn Around
With over 15 years experience of implementing tyre pressure and temperature monitoring systems into a wide range of applications, and a parts available from stock, we are able to get you up and running with a system in a short space of time.
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Can you provide me with a TPMS wiring harness?
A. Yes we build wiring harnesses throughout motorsport (not just for TPMS!) please let us know during the TPMS ordering process and we can discuss the options available to you.
Q. Who do you currently provide TPMS / IRTPTMS for?
A. We currently provide components into F1™, IndyCar, NASCAR, Moto GP, WEC, ELMS, FIA GTE & GT3, Formula E, WRC, WTCC, Rally Raid, and for road cars produced by Bugatti, McLaren, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Ferrari, Maserati, Pagani and Koenigsegg.
Q. How long have bf1systems supplied TPMS?
A. bf1systems have been supplying motorsport generally with components since 1994, and specifically with TPMS since 2001. We have a comprehensive understanding of what it takes to design and produce motorsport equipment.
Q. How do I mount the TPMS sensor to my wheel rim?
A. The TPMS sensor is mounted to the wheel rim via a motorsport TPMS valve provided by bf1systems.
Q. Do long do your wheel sensors last?
A. A TPMS wheel sensor will last anywhere between 2 and 6 seasons of use, depending on exactly how much it is used, and whether tyres are deflated between races (to put the sensor into a deep sleep).
Q. What is IRTPTMS?
A. IRTPTMS (InfraRed Tyre Pressure and Temperature Monitoring System) is an upgraded TPMS that provides data on the core tyre temperature. It does this by measuring the inner surface temperature of the tyre using an InfraRed element.
Q. How can TPMS help my team?
A. Knowing what your tyres are doing, both when they are on the running car, but also when they are off the car and waiting to be fitted is critical, and can mean the difference between winning the race, or putting the car into a barrier. TPMS has both benefits for performance, allowing the team to optimise the car’s setup and managing tyres during events, but it also serves a safety function, notifying the driver and team of a pressure loss before the tyre fails catastophically. This can mean the difference between passing the pit entry with a tyre that is slowly deflating and which will fail during the following lap, causing damage to the car, or pitting for a replacement wheel and continuing in the race.
Q. Do you support my race series?
A. bf1systems offers support to every customer who purchases equipment from us. This support can take the form of phone calls, emails or in person support at races around the world. Due to the number of series in which our TPMS is used, we cannot make every event, but are always contactable via phone or email to help resolve issues. If you require specific support at a test, get in contact and we will see what we can arrange. Alternatively, if you are testing at the Snetterton track in England, this is only 30 minutes from our factory so we are always happy to drop by and assist you there.
Q. What does bf1systems need to know in order to quote TPMS?
A. Please get in touch and let us know what type of car you wish to equip with TPMS. Ideally we would like to know how many rims you would like to fit TPMS to and if you will require a wiring loom.
1SYSTEM
The 1SYSTEM Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is the latest generation of TPMS from bf1systems, providing the smallest, lightest TPMS on the market, with the fastest learning of wheel sensors on both open and closed wheel race cars, as well as the ability to interrogate wheel sensors direct from your Windows laptop or tablet via its inbuilt 2.4GHz hardware.
The TPMS forms part of the 1SYSTEM product range, which is a new generation of products developed by bf1systems utilising the 2.4GHz frequency for
wireless communications. The ECU is intended to be used as the ‘core’ product and is central to evolving a vehicle sensor ecosystem.
TPMS
The bf1systems Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is the only choice for providing reliable, accurate data on your tyres and over the last ten years has evolved to become the market leader for motorsport and high end road cars.
IRTPTMS
The bf1systems InfraRed Tyre Pressure & Temperature Monitoring System (IRTPTMS) wheel sensor is an evolution of bf1systems’ existing Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) technology, adding the ability to measure the tyre's inner carcass temperature in real-time.
TPMS Support Tools
In addition to providing all of the Tyre Pressure and Temperature Monitoring System equipment that is used on the car, bf1systems also produce a range of support tools to ensure that the team can get the maximum benefit from the system both on and off the car.
