Automatic Operation

CAUTION:
!
1. During braking, the trailer brakes will work in direct proportion to the tow vehicle braking effort.
2. The more deceleration detected by the pendulum sensor, the greater the amount of power delivered
to the trailer brakes.
3. The controller red indicator light (Figure 1) will illuminate from dim to bright during the stop and will
return to dim when deceleration is no longer detected.
4. When the tow vehicle brake pedal is released, the controller and red indicator light will be turned
off.

Operation Manual

• In the automatic mode, noticeable braking is applied only when the
pendulum sensor detects deceleration.
• With the vehicle at rest and the brake pedal depressed, there should be
only a slight output to the trailer brakes.
