Permaseal introduces a free, easy-to-use app designed to configure and program Permaseal NFC Universal Sensors using Near-Field Communication (NFC).

The Permaseal app can program the PTS-01R NFC Universal Sensor with the required protocol for the selected vehicle. New vehicle coverage and protocols are automatically added to the app when connected to the internet. Follow these simple steps to get started: 1. Ensure NFC is enabled on your device. 2. Open the Permaseal app and select the Make, Model, and Year of the vehicle. 3. Tap "Scan Sensor" and position your phone directly over the sensor housing.
