3 OPERATION
3.1 Adjusting the Braking Force
In both modes the braking level can be adjusted to
suit varying trailer loads, braking requirements or
user comfort by adjusting the control knob on the
remote head.
The lower end of the scale (below level 5) should
be used as a starting point and adjusted accordingly
once braking requirements are established.
If a lighter braking level is required, turn the control knob to a lower number (anti-clockwise)
to reduce the trailer braking force. Similarly, turn the gain control knob to a higher number
(clockwise) to increase the trailer braking force.
The braking level will be indicated by the LED changing to a shade of RED when the
brakes are applied. The higher the braking level, the more RED the LED will glow.
A setting of ‘0’ will result in no trailer braking output.
3.2 Manual Override
Pressing the gain control knob whilst driving will
apply the manual override brake. The manual
override brake will apply the trailer brakes only; if
wired correctly will also apply the trailer brake lights
and will turn the LED indicator a shade of RED.
Depending on the vehicle wiring it may possibly also
apply the vehicle brake lights. The manual override
is designed to be used when the trailer brakes need
to be applied without the vehicle brakes, such as
correcting trailer ‘sway’ whilst travelling.
In
Proportional mode the manual override will apply the trailer brake to a level equivalent
to ‘light’ vehicle braking.
In
User Controlled mode the manual override will apply the trailer brakes to the level set
on the gain control knob.
In both modes the braking force can be adjusted by turning the gain control knob, either
higher or lower, even whilst applying the manual override brakes.
Manual override should not be used in place of the regular vehicle brakes.
