The motorhome monitor LCD text display will read
“Even Brake ready to test
” (Figure 10), and the yel-
low LED will be illuminated, to confirm that the monitor
is receiving the signal.
CAUTION
If the green LED is illuminated and the LCD text
message reads “Even Brake,” the motorhome moni-
tor is not receiving a signal from the ICX transmit-
ter. The motorhome monitor will not report braking
activity or system status information.
Severe damage to the towed vehicle can occur if
the driver of the motorhome is unaware of braking
activity at the towed vehicle.
Follow the appropriate instructions in the “Trou-
bleshooting” or “Communications” sections (“Over-
view” and “Reference Chart”) in this manual, until
the monitor LCD text display reads “Even Brake
ready to test
.”
Step F
Test and adjust positioning;
deplete the vacuum in the power brakes
Before towing, always press the “Test” button down,
then release it — Even Brake will cycle the pedal clamp
up and down three times.
This test cycle is necessary for two reasons: 1) to
ensure that Even Brake is positioned correctly; and 2)
to deplete any stored vacuum in the towed vehicle’s
power brake system.
CAUTION
Always deplete the stored vacuum in the towed
vehicle’s power brake system before towing — press
the “Test” button down, then release it, to cycle
the pedal clamp up and down three times.

Plug in the power cord
continued from preceding page
CAUTION
Push the cord lock forward, into the 12-volt out-
let, to properly secure the 12-volt power cord. If the
cord lock is not over the 12-volt outlet, the 12-volt
power cord may vibrate loose, causing a loss of
power or an intermittent power supply.
Even Brake will not function without a continu-
ous power supply.
2.
Now, the red light on the 12-volt power cord should
illuminate. If not, there is no power.
Some vehicles only have power at the outlet
when the engine is running.
If there is no power, you can install ROADMASTER’s
optional 12-volt outlet kit (part number 9332; refer to
the “Vehicle-Specific Components” section). When in-
stalled, this outlet will provide power even when the
engine is off.
3.
When the power cord is plugged in, the air com-
pressor will run, until the air reservoir is filled. Wait for
the air reservoir to fill before pressing the “Test” but-
ton (Step F, “Test and adjust positioning; deplete the
vacuum in the power brakes”).
Step E
Plug in the motorhome monitor
CAUTION
The motorhome monitor and the ICX transmitter
are programmed as a set. If a replacement monitor,
a replacement ICX transmitter or a second vehicle
kit is to be installed, follow the instructions that
are included with the kits.
If both units are not programmed as a set, the
motorhome monitor will not receive the signal from
the ICX transmitter.
1.
Now that the power cord is connected, plug the
motorhome monitor power cord into the motorhome’s
12-volt outlet.
Note: press the cord lock on the motorhome monitor
power cord into the motorhome’s 12-volt outlet — fol-
low the instructions in the preceding section (step one
under “Plug in the power cord”) to properly secure the
12-volt power cord.
2.
Start the motorhome engine.
