A unit wirelessly communicates data about the air pressure of a connected body, in this case an air brake line, with another unit having equipment to display this data to an end user. Units can be operated without any other physical external connection, allowing for flexibility in practical usage. The units may, in certain configurations, offer a user interface, collect and store data, and create mesh networking/storage systems with other units. Additional metrics may be collected and transmitted using the underlying communication system. In any case, the invention improves the efficiency and value of FRA required air brake pressure testing.
