FEATURES & FUNCTIONS:
Product Application:
The SBT-4K (Supabrake-Third Brake Light Modulator) is based on our popular, best in class, third generation SB3. The SBT-4K comes
packed with over 4 thousand profiles(4096 total) that are configurable on the fly through a 12 position toggle switch located on
device. Figure 1 shows the 12 selectable position toggle switch. From left to right are positions 1 thru 12.
The SBT-4K is specifically designed to work with any two-wire brake light devices - bulbs or LEDs. Such as those commonly found on
the rear window of cars and trucks; Also known as a third brake light or high mount brake light. Most third brake lights operate on a
simple two wire scheme and only active when the brakes are applied. They remain off at all other times. This results in a lack of
constant power to run the SBT’s time based algorithm. That is where the SBT comes in. It utilizes super capacitor technologies to
quickly store a tiny amount of power in a very short period of time, thus allowing its internal micro-controller to process the
algorithm.
Smart Algorithm:
(Standard)
(Usage = Automatic)
Upon applying the brake(s), the unit will send a burst of pulses to the vehicle's brake light(s). The duration of the burst is a function
of the time elapsed between the current braking cycle and the previous brake cycle. After this initial burst, this unit allows the brake
light(s) to function normally (solid brake light). (This algorithm is designed to eliminate target fixation as found in cheaper, passive
products that continuously "blink" the brake light(s) even though the vehicle is at a complete stop.) A time domain chart can be
viewed at the end of the document or at www.vizi-tec.com. The duration of the burst varies based on the profile selected. The
SupaBrake-Third Brake Light Modulator offers over 4096 different profile combination.
4096 Profiles:
(Standard)
(Usage = Manual)
User can select from over four thousand profiles on the fly via numerous slide switches. No need to remove or plug in a USB cable or
any external hardware to configure the kit. Full access to the algorithm is granted via the 12 slide switches. See page 5 to for switch
definitions and address.
Easy Plug and Play:
(Standard)
No need to cut, splice into the vehicle’s electrical harness. Simply unplug the stock connector that interfaces the third brake light
from the main harness. Plug the device in series. Done!
We have been manufacturing brake light modulators for over a decade and offer a wide selection for many popular motorcycles and
cars/trucks rear window third brake light. Chances are we have a plug and play kit for your vehicle. If you don’t see one listed
contact us at [email protected] and we’ll work with you to make a custom kit at a discount.
