ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An abnormal tire profile indicating system comprising a telemetry unit mounted on each wheel of a vehicle and a central receiver. Each telemetry unit comprises a piezoelectric transducer which is deflected with each wheel revolution when the tire profile is low. Deflecting the transducer produces an electric pulse. The transducer pulses are accumulated on a charge storage capacitor until a threshold level is reached. A threshold level detector causes a transistor connected to the capacitor to become conductive when the threshold level is exceded. This transistor, when conductive, powers a counter, an encoder and a transmitter. The counter counts the number of times the transistor become conductive and produces an enable signal when a predetermined number is counted. The enable signal enables the transmitter to receive an encoded signal from the encoder and modulates a radio carrier frequency with the encoder signal. The modulated radio signals are received from each telemetry unit by the central receiver. The central receiver produces an indicia of the occurrence of the abnormal tire profile at one or more of the wheels. The counter limits the transmitter to transmitting only after a sufficient number of detections to assure that the sensed conditions are due to a low profile rather than rough roads or extraneous signals. Further, the counter allows radio transmissions only after a sufficient number of wheel revolutions to meet FCC requirements on the periodicity of transmissions.
