BENCH TEST INSTRUCTIONS
Parts Needed:

Standard 1156 automotive bulb in a socket, charged 12V battery, alligator clip test 

leads or wire and wire nuts, 51515 / 51516 quick plug with pigtails or push pins

Note:

 If a quick plug pigtail is not available, push pins can be used to make 

a direct connection to the female terminals of the Assure

 quick plug housing.

CAUTION

 

Ensure that the brake controller wires, quick plug wires, 

push pins and test leads do not make contact with each other or any 

other metal surface – failure to do so may damage the brake controller.

Brake Controller Bench Test Setup

Connect the quick plug to the Assure

 to provide accessible wires for bench testing.

Connect the white ground wire of the Assure

 and the ground wire 

of the bulb to the negative terminal of the 12V battery.
Leave the red brake input wire and blue output wire unconnected.
Connect the black battery wire of the Assure

 to the positive terminal of the 12V battery.

If the brake controller is wired properly and the Assure

 is operational, 

the display will flash the current 

'Load'

 output followed by 

'Not Connected'

.

Ensure the Assure

 is level to the bench surface and connect the 

signal wire of the bulb to the blue brake output wire of the Assure

.
