Yes that is correct. It scrolls thru them automatically or you can do it manually

Thanks.

I found it on Ebay for that with the standard 4 sensors, had to purchase the other 6 separately.

If you're talking about the TireMinder TM55C, note that the manual at the TireMinder website appears to say that this unit supports monitoring of only 5 tires.

You might loose 2-5 psi over the course of a day running with the rubber stems. If I flexed my rubber stems without the system you could hear it leaking so I went to all metal.

With my unit I do not need a repeater and it's every bit of 40ft ft from the unit to the rear most sensor. Also with the 507FT I take off the sensors when parked to save the batteries. The 510 have a 5-7 year battery that is sealed and must be replaced by TST for $20.00 each.

Mine was ordered from Plug it Right who extended the warranty to 3 years on the system.

I have had the 507 system with standard sensors for over 5 years. I too take the sensors off the tires when parked for an extended period of time to save the battery life since pressure turns the sensors on. My 5'er is a hair under 38' and no booster has ever been needed. I have had one sensor fail in during this period and TST replaced it even after almost 5 years. I purchased a 2 pack of sensors so I will have a spare if needed.

It scrolls automatically and you can turn off the trailer display when you are away from your rig so it doesn't beep at you. If a problem develops it beeps immediately regardless of where it is in the scroll. Another nice feature is when you have a battery that needs replacing it tells you which sensor it is before it completely dies.
