Maximum Power (for Automatic braking only)
:
The controller is factory pre-set to 50%. When the controller senses maximum deceleration, the most
power that the controller will send to the trailer brakes will be 50%.
Changing Maximum Power for Automatic operation only
(Manual operation is not
affected)
Note:
To change the maximum power level, the controller must be in “normal” operating mode
.
The maximum power may be changed from the default 50% value by doing the following:
With the vehicle at rest
1.
, press either the “+” or “-“ button momentarily and release. The set maximum
power will be displayed.
2. While this maximum power value is displayed, press either the “+” (increase) or “-“ (decrease)
button to make changes to the power setting. The power percentage will change in increments
of 5% with each sequential button push.
3. The controller is instantly set to the newly displayed value.
4. When no button has been pressed for several seconds, the system will become idle and the
display will change to Display mode (P, E, C, PH, or EH).
NOTE: when the value reaches 100%, the display will read “99.”
Manual Slide Lever Operation
WARNING:
Manual operation via the manual slide lever may not disengage the Cruise Control
on some vehicles.
!
•
The
“Manual Slide Lever”
(Figure 1) is located on the front right side of the controller.
•
The further the manual slide lever is moved from the right to the left, the greater the amount of
trailer braking power.
•
The manual slide lever operation is an independent circuit and overrides the maximum power
setting to allow full braking power when required.
•
The manual slide lever is used to apply the trailer brakes independently of the tow vehicle brakes
or to override the automatic trailer brakes when more braking is required.
•
The manual slide lever is used in emergency stop situations when more braking may be required
than is available with the maximum power setting or for control of excessive trailer sway.
•
The tow vehicle and trailer brake stoplights will be illuminated during the manual lever activation.
TIP:
It is normal to hear the trailer brake magnets “hum” when operating the trailer
brakes.
