Abstract
A device for monitoring and wirelessly signaling a pressure, or a change in pressure, in pneumatic tires on vehicles having a pressure sensor for measuring the pressure or the change in pressure; a transmitter for transmitting a signal derived from the measuring signal of the pressure sensor; a control circuit that activates the transmitter only from time to time; a battery (1) as current source; and a back-up capacitor connected in parallel to the battery. A controllable switching unit is provided by means of which the back-up capacitor can be connected in parallel to the battery from time to time for a limited period of time only.
