Leveling the Sensor
After the brake control has been securely mounted
the level adjustment must be set.
NOTE:
1.
WARNING This brake control is activated
by inertia and requires the level to be set
properly, or the braking response will be too
harsh or ineffective.
2.
To properly level the sensor, the trailer and
tow vehicle must be parked on a level surface
and trailer must be connected to tow vehicle.
1.
Connect trailer to tow vehicle, Bi-Colored
Light should glow GREEN.
2.
Set power knob to maximum by fully
rotating clockwise.
3.
Depress tow vehicle’s brake pedal and hold.
4.
Rotate the Level Knob counter-clockwise
(towards the back of the control) until the
Bi-Colored Light starts to change colors
from GREEN to RED.
5.
Carefully rotate the Level Knob clockwise
(towards the front of the control) until a
shade of ORANGE is visible.
Bi-Colored Light should show:
• DIM ORANGE for a typical setting.
• BRIGHT ORANGE for an aggressive setting.
• DIM RED for a more aggressive setting.
NOTE:
Range of adjustment for the level knob
from DIM ORANGE to DIM RED is 20 degrees
of rotation.
6.
Release brake pedal.
NOTE:
When the brake control is leveled
properly there will be very little current flowing
through the brake magnets in a static state with
the foot pedal depressed. The brake magnets will
hum when there is current flowing through them.
Anytime the Bi-Colored Light shows any color
other than GREEN, there is current flowing
through the brake magnets.
Adjusting the Power to the
Trailer Brakes
Once the control has been installed and properly
leveled, it is necessary to set the power needed
to stop the trailer during a braking event.
1.
Connect trailer to tow vehicle.
2.
Set Power Knob to the 12 o’clock position.
3.
Drive tow vehicle and trailer on a dry level
paved surface at 25 mph and apply manual
slide knob.
