Responding to an LCD prompt
Even Brake will report braking activities or system condi-
tions at the motorhome monitor, some of which require a
specific action. The LCD text display will prompt you with
a flashing downward-pointing arrow (
) to indicate there is
further information.
The LCD text display will first report the activity or con-
dition. (The “1st message” column in the chart on page 14
lists the initial messages.) If the first message ends with a
flashing downward-pointing arrow (
), press the button with
the right-hand arrow (>) on the motorhome monitor to scroll
to the second message (Figure 15), which will display the
required action or additional information (the “2nd message”
column in the chart on page 14).
If the second message or a subsequent message ends
with a flashing downward-pointing arrow (
), press the but-
ton with the right-hand arrow (>) on the motorhome monitor
to scroll to the next message.
After the first message, each subsequent message in
that series will be displayed for 15 seconds after the button
with the right-hand arrow is pressed. If the button is not
pressed after that time, the LCD screen will revert to the
first message in that series.
To clear the monitor
After an adjustment in response to an LCD text message,
unplug the Even Brake 12-volt power cord at the towed ve-
hicle, then unplug the ICX transmitter cord. Then plug the
cords back in and press the “Test” button. This will clear
the current message.
Note: after an adjustment, unless the Even Brake power
cord and the ICX transmitter cord are unplugged and then
plugged back in, and the “Test” button is pressed, the motor-
home monitor will continue to display the same message.
Audio alerts
In addition to LED and LCD signals, an audio alert will
accompany braking activities or conditions of immediate
concern. The audio alerts will vary in intensity, depending
on the activity or condition.
The audio alert will stop when either the button with
the left-hand arrow (<) or the right-hand arrow (>) on the
motorhome monitor is pressed.
Dimmer button
For night time driving, press the “Dim” button on the
motorhome monitor to reduce the intensity of the LEDs and
LCD display by 40 percent. Pressing the “Dim” button a
second time will return the intensity of the LEDs and LCD
display to 100 percent.
Towed vehicle battery voltage check
The voltage in the towed vehicle’s battery can be checked
after at least one braking activity. Press the button with the
left-hand arrow (<) on the motorhome monitor once, and the
voltage will be displayed on the LCD text display.
(Note: it may take up to five minutes before the voltage
data is available.)
Reference chart
The chart on page 14 shows which color LED(s) will illumi-
nate for each condition or activity, the LCD text message(s)
that will accompany it, and if there will be an audio alert.
The chart also shows if the LED on the Even Brake
control pad (next to the “Test” button) will also illuminate
to indicate a certain activity or condition.
Expanded descriptions
A description of the motorhome monitor messages listed
on page 14 follows.
1.
The Even Brake power cord or ICX
transmitter cord has been unplugged
If either the 12-volt power cord or the ICX transmitter
cord has been unplugged, Even Brake will shut down until
the cord is plugged back in.
The red LED on the motorhome monitor will illuminate,
and the LCD text display will read “Even Brake is Turning
Off.”
2.
The break away wiring
harness has a short circuit
As part of the self-diagnostic program, Even Brake
checks the towed vehicle’s break away system electrical
circuit. If the break away harness has a short circuit, the
LCD text display on the motorhome monitor will read “Break
Away Cable Not Operational
,” and the red and yellow
LEDs on the monitor will illuminate. The second message
in this series will instruct you to call the factory for further
information.
3.
Battery level is low on initial self-diagnostic test
In order to function, Even Brake draws power from the
towed vehicle’s battery. If there is insufficient voltage in
the towed vehicle’s battery to power Even Brake, it will not
operate.
If the LCD text message at the motorhome monitor reads
“Not operational — Low Battery
” during the initial self-
diagnostic test, recharge the towed vehicle’s battery (with
a battery charger or by running the engine) to increase the
voltage.
4.
Battery voltage check
The voltage in the towed vehicle’s battery can be checked
after at least one braking activity. Press the button with the
left-hand arrow (<) on the motorhome monitor once, and
continued on next page
