System description
Stand-alone trailer towing operation
If the trailer should be independently equipped with OptiTire, the pressure release can be carried out
via telemetry or the vehicles own display. When using the OptiTire display, it requires a special box for
splash protection or another protected installation position. The WABCO SmartBoard can be installed
as an alternative.
The driver cannot receive fault messages without OptiTire support while the towing vehicle is in motion.
OptiTire with several trailers
It is possible to equip tractor/trailer combinations with more than one trailer. Trains with two trailers
can even be implemented with radio links, for road trains a CAN bus connection with special ECUs is
required.
Please contact your WABCO partner for more information.
OptiTire with TEBS D or TEBS E
The installation in a vehicle with TEBS D or TEBS E is simple because in this case only pre-assembled
cables need to be plugged in. Other systems would require open wiring that needs to be enclosed by
protective housing.
