Before You Begin
Find a flat, level surface with minimal traffic. Allow vehicle to
warm up prior to taking measurement. Have your trailer weight
and combined trailer/vehicle weight ready. If you do not have this
information from a recent measurement, use the 'Weight' module to
collect this information.
Ensure your brake controller is connected and ready to use.
TRAILER BRAKE GAIN
Step 1 (continued)
Follow the prompts on the screen.
Set trailer brake gain to 3.0.
Activate your trailer brake controller by fully engaging the manual
override. Continue to hold manual override.
From a complete stop, slowly accelerate (1 - 2 mph)
until the progress bar at the bottom of the screen is complete.
If you hear a lock-up (squeeling tires) occur, but progress bar is
not filled completely, stop and hit the 'Lock-Up Occurred' button.
You will be asked to set the Trailer Brake Gain to a lower number and
will need to follow the calibration steps again.
Once the calibration is complete, select 'Okay'. BetterWeigh will
provide you with your Optimum Gain number.
Adjust your vehicle's trailer brake controller to match the Optimum
Gain number.
NOTICE
If you alter the trailer weight, select the 'Change Weight' button
to enter your new trailer weight. Select 'Continue'. BetterWeigh
will suggest a new Optimum Gain setting and you will not need to
complete a new calibration.
