the voltage will be displayed on the LCD text display.
(Note: it may take up to five minutes before the voltage
data is available.)
5.
Insufficient voltage — low battery
In order to function, Even Brake draws power from the
towed vehicle’s battery. If the LCD text message reads “Low
battery — Charge battery,” there is insufficient voltage to
power Even Brake.
Recharge the towed vehicle’s battery (with a battery
charger or by running the engine) to increase the voltage.
An audio alert accompanies this message.
6.
‘Power Save’ mode activated
Before the voltage in the towed vehicle’s battery is com-
pletely depleted, Even Brake will revert to the ‘Power Save’
mode. In this mode, Even Brake will not draw power from
the towed vehicle’s battery, and will not function except in
an emergency break away.
An audio alert accompanies this message.
To regain normal braking in the towed vehicle…
a. Unplug the Even Brake 12-volt power cord and the
ICX power cord.
b. Charge the towed vehicle’s battery (with a battery
charger or by running the engine).
c. Plug the Even Brake ICX power cord back into the
ICX transmitter, and the 12-volt power cord back into the
towed vehicle’s 12-volt outlet.
d. Press the “Test” button on the Even Brake control
pad.
CAUTION
If the towed vehicle’s engine has been turned on for
any reason, press the “Test” button on the Even Brake
control pad once the engine has been turned off and
the vehicle is ready to be towed.
As part of the test, Even Brake will extend and retract
the pedal clamp, which will deplete the residual vacuum
in the vehicle’s power brakes.
If the vacuum is not depleted, Even Brake will brake
excessively, resulting in non-warranty tire and/or brake
system damage.
7.
Compressor time limit exceeded
When Even Brake is connected to the towed vehicle,
it will run a self-diagnostics test. As part of the test, Even
Brake will measure the amount of time it takes to fill the air
reservoir. If it takes an inordinate amount of time to fill the
reservoir, Even Brake will instruct you to call the factory for
further information.
8.
Brake pedal depressed continuously
As part of the initial self-diagnostic test, Even Brake
checks the towed vehicle’s brake light switch. If the brake
light switch remains on, indicating that the brake pedal is
being depressed continuously, the LCD message will read
“Not operational — more info.
.” Press the button with the
right-hand arrow (>) on the monitor to scroll to the second
and subsequent messages, which will display the required
action(s).
An audio alert accompanies this message.
9.
Towed vehicle brake electronics
are not connected to Even Brake
As part of the initial self-diagnostic test, Even Brake will
check the towed vehicle’s brake light switch. If there is no
signal from the switch, indicating that the braking system
electronics are not connected to Even Brake, the LCD mes-
sage will read “Not operational — more info.
.” Press the
button with the right-hand arrow (>) on the monitor to scroll
to the second and subsequent messages, which will display
the required action(s).
An audio alert accompanies this message.
10.
Towed vehicle brake pedal depressed;
Even Brake has not been activated
If the LCD text display in the monitor reads, “Braking
,” and the second message reads “Stop ASAP — Brakes
are ON!
,” stop the motorhome immediately — the towed
vehicle’s brakes may be damaged if you continue.
An audio alert accompanies this message.
After you have stopped, press the button with the right-
hand arrow (>) on the monitor to scroll to the subsequent
messages, which will display the required action(s).
11.
Proportional regulator test
As part of the initial self-diagnostic test, Even Brake
will check the proportional regulator. If the regulator is not
functioning at full capacity, Even Brake will instruct you to
call the factory for further information.
An audio alert accompanies this message.
12.
Extended braking
After an extended period of continuous braking, the LCD
text display will read, “Stop ASAP!! Brakes are ON
.” Stop
immediately — the towed vehicle’s brakes may be damaged
if you continue.
An audio alert accompanies this message.
After you have stopped, press the button with the right-
hand arrow (>) on the monitor to scroll to the subsequent
messages, which will display the required action(s).
13.
Break away mode
The towed vehicle has separated from the motorhome.
The LCD text display reads “TOW break away — Emergency
STOP.” Even Brake has applied maximum pressure to the
towed vehicle’s brakes to bring it to a stop.
An audio alert accompanies this message.
14.
Communication link
A component of the communications system is not con-
nected. Press the button with the right-hand arrow (>) on the
monitor to scroll to the second and subsequent messages,
which will display the required action(s).
An audio alert accompanies this message.

Some motorhome monitor messages are intended to
alert you to potentially dangerous conditions. Ignoring
an LCD message to stop the motorhome or call the
factory for further information may result in property
damage, personal injury or even death.
