Gain Control (output)

The gain (output) control buttons establish the maximum amount 

of power available to the trailer brakes when braking. 

An exception is when the manual control is set up for 100% braking, 

see 'Set Manual Control Gain / Output and Brake Light Switches'.
As the gain (output) control buttons are adjusted, the screen will show the new gain 

(output) setting. The tactile button with the (+) increases the power available to the 

brakes and the button with the (-) will decrease the power available to the brakes. The 

gain (output) control may be adjusted during initial setup, when trailer load changes, 

when different trailers are used or when adjustment is needed for changing road or 

driving conditions. 
The maximum gain (output) setting is shown as 

'Gain'

 on the display when 

a trailer is connected and the brake pedal is pressed or the manual control is 

actuated. If a trailer is not connected, the output screen will display nothing.

Load Control (sensitivity)

The load control (sensitivity) adjusts trailer brake aggressiveness. To view 

the load (sensitivity) setting on the display, press the (+) and (-) buttons at the same 

time. This will trigger the 

'Load'

 display. The load (sensitivity) control adjustment does 

not have any effect on the manual control. The load (sensitivity) control adjustments 

cater to the preferences of the individual driver, trailer load changes or changing road 

conditions. The load (sensitivity) control can be adjusted from 1 to 9, using the (+) and (-) 

buttons to increase or decrease the aggressiveness of the trailer brakes.
