  • Page 240 Series 90 Functional Description Displacement Limiters All Series 90 pumps are designed for optional mechanical displacement (stroke) limiters. The maximum displace- ment of the pump can be limited in either direction. The setting can be set as low as 0° in either direction. For instructions on adjustment see corresponding Sec- tion.

  • Page 242 Series 90 Functional Description Pump Control Options Manual Displacement Control (MDC) The manual displacement control converts a mechanical input signal to a hydraulic signal using a spring- centered four- way servo valve. This valve ports hydraulic pressure to either side of a dual-acting servo piston. The servo piston rotates the cradle swashplate through an angular rotation of ±17°, thus varying the pump’s displacement from full displacement in one direction to full displacement in the opposite direction.
  • Page 243 Series 90 Functional Description Electric Displacement Control (EDC) The electric displacement control is similar to the hydrau- lic displacement control with the input signal pressure controlled by a pressure control pilot (PCP) valve. The PCP valve converts a DC electrical input signal to a hydraulic signal which operates a spring- centered four- way servo valve.

  • Page 378: Electric Brakes

    Electric Brakes The electric brakes on your trailer are similar to the drum brakes on your automobile. The basic difference is that your automotive brakes are actuated by hydraulic pressure while your electric trailer brakes are actuated by an electromagnet. With all of the brake components connected into the system, the brake will operate as follows: Retractor Spring...
  • Page 379: Features

    Features Electrically actuated brakes have several advantages over other brake actuation systems. 1. They can be manually adjusted at the controller to provide the correct braking capability for varying road and load conditions. 2. They can be modulated to provide more or less braking force, thus easing the brake load on the towing vehicle.
  • Page 380: Brake Controllers

    Brake Controllers Electric brake controllers provide power to the magnets to actuate the trailer brakes. Dexter Axle offers a state-of-the-art inertial controller called the Predator Series™ DX2. This controller features a patented pendulum design which senses the deceleration of the towing vehicle and sends a proportional voltage to the electric trailer brakes.

  • Page 384: How To Use Your Electric Brakes Properly

    How to Use Your Electric Brakes Properly Your trailer brakes are designed to work in synchronization with your tow vehicle brakes. Never use your tow vehicle or trailer brakes alone to stop the combined load. Your brake controller must be set up according to the manufacturer's recommendations to ensure proper synchronization between the tow vehicle and the trailer.
  • Page 385: Synchronizing Your Trailer Brakes

    Synchronizing Your Trailer Brakes To insure safe brake performance and synchronization, read the brake controller manufacturer's instructions completely before attempting any synchronization procedure. CAUTION Before road testing, make sure the area is clear of vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Failure to brake safely could result in an accident and personal injury to yourself and/or others.
  • Page 386: General Maintenance - Electric Brakes

    General Maintenance - Electric Brakes Brake Adjustment Most Dexter 12 " electric brakes have a self adjusting feature. If manual adjusting is required, use the following procedure: Brakes should be adjusted (1) after the first 200 miles of operation when the brake shoes and drums have “seated,” (2) at 3,000 mile intervals, (3) or as use and performance requires.
  • Page 387: Brake Cleaning And Inspection

    Brake Cleaning and Inspection Your trailer brakes must be inspected and serviced immediately if a loss of performance is indicated. With normal use, servicing at one year intervals is usually adequate. With increased usage, this work should be done more frequently as required. Magnets and shoes must be changed when they become excessively worn or scored, a condition which can reduce vehicle braking.
  • Page 388: Magnets

    Magnets Your electric brakes are equipped with high quality electromagnets that are designed to provide the proper input force and friction characteristics. Your magnets should be inspected and replaced if worn unevenly or abnormally. As indicated below, a straightedge should be used to check magnet condition.
  • Page 389: Shoes And Linings

    Shoes and Linings A simple visual inspection of your brake linings will tell if they are usable. Replacement is necessary if the lining is worn (to within " or less), contaminated with grease or oil, or abnormally scored or gouged. Hairline heat cracks are normal in bonded linings and should not be cause for concern.

  • Page 393: How To Measure Voltage

    How to Measure Voltage System voltage is measured at the magnets by connecting the voltmeter to the two magnet lead wires at any brake. This may be accomplished by using a pin probe inserted through the insulation of the wires. The engine of the towing vehicle should be running when checking the voltage so that a low battery will not affect the readings.

  • Page 395 Possible causes are: 1. Shorted magnet coils 2. Defective controllers 3. Bare wires contacting a grounded object Finding the cause of a short circuit in the system is done by isolating one section at a time. If the high amperage reading drops to zero by unplugging the trailer, then the short is in the trailer.
  • Page 396: Hydraulic Brakes

    Hydraulic Brakes Dexter offers several varieties of hydraulic trailer brakes. Your vehicle may be equipped with the traditional drum brakes or you may have disc brakes. The hydraulic brakes on your trailer are much like those on your automobile or light truck. The hydraulic fluid from a master cylinder or actuation system is used to actuate the wheel cylinder which, in turn, applies force against the brake shoes and drum.
  • Page 397: Hydraulic Brake Operation

    Hydraulic Brake Operation Duo-Servo The duo-servo brake uses a dual piston wheel cylinder to apply the brakes. This type of brake is typically used in a vacuum/ hydraulic, electric/hydraulic or air/hydraulic system. A description of operation of this brake is as follows: When the brakes are applied, the double-acting wheel cylinder moves the primary and secondary shoes towards the drum.
  • Page 398: Self-Adjusting Mechanism For

    backing with a surge brake hitch, normal brakes are applied through the surge mechanism and if there is more brake Anchor Post force on the trailer than Hydraulic Wheel Retractor Cylinder the tow vehicle can Springs override, no backing is possible.
  • Page 399 installed directly into the backing plate to provide a convenient means for the trailer manufacturer to attach an appropriate operating system. The internal parking brake lever of 10" and 12" Dexter brakes, which is mounted to the secondary shoe, transfers applied cable force through a parking strut which is attached to the primary shoe.
  • Page 400: Disc Brakes

    Disc Brakes Dexter Axle manufactures two types of disc brakes, the floating caliper and the fixed caliper brake. With both styles, the disc brake uses friction pads astride a ventilated rotor which is attached to the wheel hub. When the brake is actuated, the pads are pressed against the sides of the rotor causing drag to slow the rotating disc.
  • Page 401: Actuation Systems

    Actuation Systems To effectively operate your hydraulic trailer brakes we recommend the Dexter E/H electro/hydraulic actuator, controlled by the Predator series DX2™ electronic brake controller. These high performance hydraulic power modules will supply pressurized brake fluid to your trailer brakes in proportion to the amount of braking effort called for by the towing vehicles' deceleration rate.
  • Page 402: Electrical Schematic

    Troubleshooting Guide Brakes are slow to respond 1. Re-bleed the trailer brakes and actuator. 2. If the trailer is equipped with drum brakes, readjust the drum brakes to the brake manufacture's recommended running clearance. 3. Slow response can be caused by trailer wiring that is too small.
  • Page 403 actuator is functioning properly. The problem most likely is a defective electronic brake controller in the tow vehicle or defective wiring between the tow vehicle and the E/H unit. 3. If the unit runs but will not build pressure, the problem most likely is a defective solenoid valve in the E/H unit and the actuator should be returned for repair.
