Initial Self Test
Ensure the pull-pin is inserted when power is first applied to the system. The status
LED will flash Blue for approximately 15 minutes while the system undertakes the
initial determination of the battery status. Preferably avoid switching loads on or off
or applying charging sources during this time. DO NOT REMOVE PULL PIN DURING
THIS TIME. If removed early the Red Fault LED will be shown. Replace the Pin to
enable the 15 minute setup to resume.
After the Blue LED stops flashing the pin should be pulled and left out until the LED
stops flashing and changes colour. This is to test the complete system including pull
pin contacts, battery, wiring and brakes. The LED should turn Green. If the LED turns
Orange the battery needs to be charged. Next, replace the pull pin to complete the
system initialisation.
If the LED is Red or does not light when the Pin is out or with the brake lights
activated, a fault has been detected.
Monitor Installation
If a monitor is required for NSW or otherwise desired, it should be located so that it
is visible to the driver. Confirm operation by pressing the brake pedal and viewing the
battery status is indicated.
With the wireless TrailCheck , some location options may provide a more reliable
connection. If a suitable location can’t be found, a wired remote is required.
TrailCheck
can be mounted with the provided Velcro strips and plugs into a 15A (or
lower) fused vehicle 12VDC Outlet/Cigarette lighter. Ensure the TrailCheck will not
dislodge during severe braking.
Test with the engine running. If there is too much metal between the TrailSafeBT
and TrailCheck or a high level of electrical noise in the vehicle, TrailSafeBT may
not provide an adequate connection. In such cases a wired 12VDC battery voltage
level indicator, such as 08160 from Vanline Electronics, can be used with reduced
functionality.
Pairing to TrailCheck
To enable monitoring of the battery, either a wired remote or the optional TrailCheck
needs to be installed. The following steps are initially required:
1. Complete wiring of the TrailSafeBT System and confirm that the battery indication
is working when the pin is pulled.
2. Replace the Pull Pin
3. Power the
TrailCheck by inserting the power connection into the vehicles DC jack/
Cigarette lighter output and turn on the ignition.
