Braking with EB+ Gen 2
In an emergency apply full force on the brake pedal.
The EB+ Gen 2 will be activated immediately when you fully apply
the brakes and will assist you to retain steering control of your vehicle
according to the road surface conditions.
DO NOT apply and release the brakes by pumping the brake. This
is known as 'Cadence braking' and can have a detrimental effect on
vehicle braking.
Lining Wear Sensing (LWS)
EB+ Gen 2 Lining wear is a device that allows multiple lining wear
indicators (LWI) to be connected to a single analogue input ‘AUX
4’ on the EB+ Gen 2 ECU. EB+ Gen 2 Lining wear device can be
installed on all types of towed vehicles were provisions are made in
the brake pads. The product provides lining wear indication, without
the need to remove wheels as required on disc brakes, via the EB+
Gen 2 diagnostic tools Info Centre or DIAG+.
The device connects to specified sensors from the brake pads and
when a brake lining has reached its wear limit the sensor signals the
EB+ Gen 2 Lining wear device which activates the EBS warning lamp
indicating a fault.
EB+ Gen 2 Stability
EB+ Gen 2 Stability is an advanced Trailer Roll Stability function
that senses when the trailer is near to a rollover condition and
automatically applies the trailer brakes to slow the vehicle
combination down.
It will help to reduce the likelihood of trailer rollover BUT IT WILL NOT
PREVENT ROLLOVER and should be used as an aid to normal good
driving practice. The stability function is a SAFETY BACK UP system
the same as anti-lock braking function.
It uses a lateral accelerometer to determine the level of cornering and
as part of its operation it applies brief pulses of brake pressure during
normal cornering, even below a level at which a rollover may occur.
These pulses may be noticeable to a driver but will reduce in
number after the system has learnt the vehicle combinations roll
characteristics and are part of the normal operation. This learning
process will be repeated every ignition cycle, if the load is changed or
if an axle is lifted or lowered.
Traction Assist using ILAS
®
-E
Traction assist is made operative by a 24v (constant or intermittent)
supply to the yellow wire in the 3 core auxiliary cable connected to
AUX 2 or AUX 3 and programmed as ILAS-E Front. On request for
traction assist, front axle lifts.
The front axle drops when either:
• The vehicle speed exceeds 30kph or
• The suspension pressure reaches more than 130 % of the laden bag
pressure
Soft Docking
Soft Docking, when linked to the Haldex EB+/EB+ Gen 2 system will
apply brakes automatically when reversing into a loading bay. The
system will reduce vehicle speed to prevent significant damage to
the vehicle and the dock by timely application of the brake pressure
when reversing. The braking is indicated by sensing of 1 meter
distance and wheel speed sensing. The EB+ / EB+ Gen 2 system will
then command the brake apply.
Info Point
With an illuminated spot the Info Point will instantly show if the
trailer has a fault in the braking system. The Info Point connects to
EB+/EB+ Gen 2 Auxiliary. It is dedicated to alert fault in Lining Wear,
Sensors, Colas etc. It is ADR approved.
