Roadmaster 9300 - BrakeAlert System Installation; Receiver and Transmitter Placement

8
Installing BrakeAlert System
IMPORTANT! RECEIVER MUST BE LOCATED SUCH THAT THE DRIVER CAN EASILY VIEW THE LED
INDICATORS ON THE RECEIVER IN THE MOTORHOME.
HELPFUL HINT! The Receiver will normally get a
stronger signal closer to the driver’s side window.
It is not necessary to secure the Transmitter with the
included Velcro; however, if you do, be sure to test
the system for proper signal strength. Some mounting
locations (for BOTH the Transmitter and Receiver) will
afford a better signal than others. For testing
purposes, be sure the car is connected to the
motorhome with the RV’s engine running while
checking reception.
HELPFUL HINT! When choosing a mounting location
for your antennas, never point them at each other as
you will not get good reception. See figure 3.
HELPFUL HINT! Many electrical components generate electrical interference. Before mounting your
Transmitter and Receiver, turn on all large electrical components (such as generator, motorhome engine and
roof air conditioner) to verify you are receiving a signal in the RV.
IMPORTANT! Do not route transmitter and/or receiver wires parallel to antenna as shown below or a false
signal may result.
19. Install the Receiver in the motorhome and plug into 12 volt
outlet. In order to ensure a secure power cord connection, use the
included cord lock. Follow figure 2a through 2c shown earlier in the
manual to properly use the cord lock. Now, install the Transmitter in
the towed vehicle and plug into the Red and White RCA jacks on
the braking system unit.
HELPFUL HINT! The Receiver’s yellow light will illuminate
briefly to verify the Receiver is getting 12 volts.
20. INSTALLATION IS NOW COMPLETE. As a safety precaution,
drive RV and towed car and test system for proper operation.
Check brake lights on towed vehicle to verify that your braking
system is not depressing brake pedal except when braking.
