The Brake Buddy® Remote provides 2-way communication
from the motorhome to the towed vehicle and provides
visual indications of problems that are occurring. (Fig. 3)
F
- Main Unit Error (red light will activate) Stop and check
the main unit diagnostics for error.
G
- Battery Low on Remote (replace with new AA battery)
H
- Breakaway Warning (red light and audible signal will
activate) Stop Immediately!
I
- On / Off Switch
A 12-volt DC power cord is also included. This bypasses
the on/off switch, and battery removal when using the
12-volt DC cord is not required.
REMOTE SYNCHRONIZE PROCEDURE:
This device works similarly to a universal garage door
opener. If this remote ever becomes un-synced with the
main unit, simply perform the following procedure:
1. Power up / turn on both devices
(dinghy and remote).
2. On the Brake Buddy® unit, hold down the (+)
and (_) buttons
(A)
simultaneously until the Air
Pressure setting reads “LL” (Fig. 4 /
E
).
3. Next, with the remote, hold down the Braking
Mode
(C)
and Braking Sensitivity
(D)
buttons
simultaneously for 5 seconds.
4. Once the dinghy has completed the “link-up”
routine, the air pressure display will change from
“LL” to the last air pressure setting (# between 10
and 75).
5. Both the dinghy and coach units should be
displaying the same sensitivity setting and
sensitivity button presses on either unit should
cause both units to update to the new setting.
