COMPATIBILITY
The #9107A Electric Brake Force Meter with Dynamic Load Simulation
and Circuit Testing is designed to work with most all year/make/model
vehicles equipped with 7-spade trailer connections. If you suspect the
Electric Brake Force Meter does not work with your application, please call
us at 845-679-4500.
INTRODUCTION
The#9107A Electric Brake Force Meteris a professional, high-quality tool
that allows you to test the electric brake controller output and all tow-lighting
functions without a trailer present.
PRECAUTIONARY EXPLANATION:
Before testing, it’s important to note that there are several different methods
utilized by OEMs for establishing connections to trailers and automatically
adjusting gain. In most cases, each OEM takes their own approach to the
design and function of Electric Trailer Brake Controllers. Additionally, the
OEM’s methods have evolved over the years. Never assume that any two
makes or different year ranges will act the same way. For example, some
controllers limit output gain unless the vehicle is moving. Others limit output
gain unless the vehicle’s sensors detect heavy braking under load while mov-
ing. Some others allow full output for a short period of time and then limit the
output until the vehicle is moving. The purpose of this tool is to allow you to
view the output of the vehicle in real time without a trailer present.
PRETEST SET-UP
(MUST FOLLOW EACH USE!)
NOTICE: Brake Force Meter w/ Dynamic Load Simulation and Circuit
Testing will not function unless Tail/Tag or 12V Aux Circuits have
constant power.If your vehicle does not supply 12V Aux at the trailer
connector, leave parking lights on while testing.
WARNING: SET-UP MUST BE COMPLETE BEFORE
ATTACHING CABLE.
WARNING: WHEN TESTING IN CAB, DO NOT PINCH CABLE IN
WINDOW OR DOOR.
