Quick Links

Introduction
This control system can be connected to a remote transmitter system to allow individual remote
control of the air bag system. The functions include individual corner up/down, all up/down,
front up/down, rear up/down, and timed dump all.
This control system can also be connected to a display module and pressure senders to allow
monitoring and control of all four corners and optional monitoring of the tank pressure. The
functions include four different height presets for automatic up/down control, manual up/down
control, and a pressure controlled bag dump. The bag senders can be either 150 psi units or
400 psi units for high pressure systems. The tank sender is always the 400 psi unit.
IMPORTANT: Make sure to always disconnect the negative cable from the battery if you are
going to be working on or under the vehicle. Failure to do so can result in serious injury if the
system is accidentally activated.
