Návod k obsluze elektronického ovládání brzd Tekonsha 90250 Prodigy RF

1. Úvod

The Tekonsha 90250 Prodigy RF Electronic Brake Control is a wireless braking system designed for trailers with up to three braking axles. This system eliminates the need for under-dash wiring in the tow vehicle, offering flexibility for multiple tow vehicles or rental applications. It provides true proportional trailer braking, adapting to the tow vehicle's deceleration for smooth and controlled stops.

2. Součásti systému

The Prodigy RF system consists of two primary units:

• Remote Hand Held Unit: This unit is located in the tow vehicle and provides user control and diagnostic feedback. It plugs into a standard 12-volt power accessory adapter.
• Trailer Mount Power Module Unit: This watertight module is installed on the trailer and connects to the trailer's braking system via a standard 7-way connector. It houses the inertia sensor for proportional braking.

3. Nastavení a instalace

3.1. Kontrola před instalací

Before installation, ensure your tow vehicle's 7-way trailer connector provides a consistent +12-volt power supply when the ignition is on. This is crucial for the trailer-mounted power module to function and for charging any trailer battery. Use a test light or voltmeter to verify the 12V pin on your vehicle's trailer connector.

3.2. Trailer Mount Power Module Installation

1. Select a suitable mounting location on the trailer tongue or front of the trailer. The module is watertight and designed for exterior use.
2. Ensure the chosen location allows for secure attachment and easy connection to the trailer's 7-way connector.
3. Mount the power module securely using appropriate fasteners. The orientation of the module does not affect its proportional braking function due to its internal inertia sensor.
4. Connect the power module's integrated 7-way cable to the tow vehicle's 7-way connector.

3.3. Remote Hand Held Unit Setup and Pairing

1. Plug the remote hand-held unit into any standard 12-volt power accessory adapter (cigarette lighter) in the tow vehicle.
2. Ensure the trailer is connected to the tow vehicle and the tow vehicle's ignition is on.
3. Follow the specific pairing instructions provided in the manufacturer's detailed manual. Generally, this involves a sequence of actions on the hand-held unit to establish wireless communication with the trailer-mounted power module.
4. Once paired, the unit will display diagnostic information.

Poznámka: Some tow vehicles may require an adapter or specific conditions to supply 12V power to the trailer connector for pairing. Refer to your vehicle's manual or consult a qualified technician if pairing issues arise.

4. Provoz

4.1. Proportional Braking

The Prodigy RF provides true proportional braking, meaning the trailer brakes are applied with a force proportional to the tow vehicle's deceleration. This results in smooth, synchronized braking, whether moving forward or in reverse. No manual leveling adjustment is necessary.

4.2. Boost Feature

The original Boost feature allows for different levels of customized braking. This can be adjusted via the hand-held unit to provide additional braking power at the beginning of a stop, useful for heavier trailers or specific towing conditions.

4.3. Manual Brake Control

The hand-held unit includes a manual control button or lever to apply the trailer brakes independently of the tow vehicle's brakes. This is useful for testing connections or for situations requiring immediate trailer braking.

4.4. Diagnostic Display

The hand-held unit features an LED display that shows trailer brake voltage, power output, and diagnostic fault codes. The system continually runs diagnostics and displays warnings if issues are detected.

5. Údržba

• Module Inspection: Periodically inspect the trailer-mounted power module for any physical damage, corrosion, or loose connections. Ensure the 7-way connector is clean and free of debris.
• Integrita kabelu: Check the power module's cable and the tow vehicle's 7-way connector for wear, cuts, or fraying.
• Hand Held Unit Care: Keep the hand-held unit clean and dry. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
• Aktualizace softwaru: Zkontrolujte výrobce webwebové stránky s dostupnými aktualizacemi firmwaru pro optimální výkon.
