Actuation Systems
To effectively operate your hydraulic trailer brakes we recommend the Dexter
electrically controlled hydraulic brake actuation device (also referred to as E/H
brake actuator), controlled by the Predator DX2
®
electronic brake controller.
These high performance hydraulic power modules will supply pressurized brake
uid to your trailer brakes in proportion to the amount of braking effort called for
by the towing vehicles’ deceleration rate.
CAUTION
It is the responsibility of the end user to ensure that their in-cab
electronic controller is compatible with the Dexter E/H brake
actuator. Dexter attempts to provide compatibility with most
controllers available, but is unable to anticipate design changes that
might be introduced by the various controller manufacturers.
The E/H 1000 will supply 1,000 psi for your drum brakes and the E/H 1600
will generate 1,600 psi for maximum output for your Dexter disc brakes. The
sealed, weather tight housing contains the electronics necessary to control the
high pressure piston pump and proportioning valve for smooth, efcient braking.
