Mounting - BPW ECO Tronic EBS Operating And Installation Instructions

3.1.5 Mounting

Additional bracket design has to be as rigid as possible
(Fig. 33). The mounting fi xing must provide an electrical connection
between the Modulator bracket and the trailer chassis.
The installation angle must be  0.5 mm out of level.
Use non-corrosive M 10 nuts, torque to 35 - 45 Nm.
After that, check the earth continuity between the EBS bracket
and trailer chassis (Fig. 33).
Care should be taken to provide reasonable access to the
Modulator for replacement of cables (Fig. 34).
D = min. 150 mm
E = 1. Modulator to be above axle centre line.
2. The position should be as high as possible in the frame.
Position the Modulator as high as possible in the chassis to
provide optimum protection from direct spray and other road
dirt and also to achieve an acceptable hose routing (Fig. 35).
Note: To prevent water from fl owing into the Modulator cables
should always run up to the EBS.
Piping
Avoid elbow connectors as much as possible. If necessary, use
swept elbow fi ttings (Fig. 36).
The inner diameter of joints should be the same as the diameter
of the corresponding piping.
