6.15 Road finisher brake
Vehicle type
Tipper vehicle
Purpose
The ‘road finisher brake’ function is used for targeted braking of tipper bodies dur-
ing operation with road finishers. In this case, the vehicle trailer is pushed by the
road finisher while tipping.
Function
If the function is activated, the trailer is braked by means of the TEBS E Modulator.
Mechanical switches can be used for activation in operation (road finisher opera-
tion on/off) and an unloading level switch used for positioning the tipper (push but-
ton or proximity switch). When using ECAS valves, tipping of the tipper body can
be detected via the unloading level switch, see chapter 6.3.2 ‘Normal level’,
page
.
The unloading level switch can be activated or deactivated based on the cus-
tomer's wishes. An optional switch can be provided for this or a parameter or a
shut-off on the SmartBoard.
The control pressure defined in the TEBS E Diagnostic Software can be changed
manually via the SmartBoard or Trailer Remote Control. The minimum control
pressure in this case is 0.5 bar and the maximum control pressure is 6.5 bar. The
value last set via the SmartBoard or Trailer Remote Control when switching the
function off is valid again when switched back on.
The automatic shut-off for this function occurs at speed v > 10 km/h.
