TOWING Supplemental Brake Systems Time Tested • Time Proven Brake light switches Why do you need a brake light switch? Brake light switches are necessary only if you’re installing a supplemental braking system monitor, and the vehicle’s OEM brake light switch doesn’t work when the vehicle is in ‘tow’ mode. Both the universal switch and our vehicle-specific switches are only activated when the brake pedal is depressed — with this system, you'll always know if the towed vehicle's brakes are on or off. Universal Brake Light Switch This switch sends a beam of infrared light to detect brake pedal movement. When the pedal moves down, it sends a signal to the monitor that the brakes have been applied. 610046 751000 Universal brake light switch... Vehicle-specific brake light switches Roadmaster also makes vehicle-specific kits. Visit our fit guide. 61-0046 751000 shown Why do I need one? It stops the brake lights from functioning until the vehicle is started. This prevents the towed vehicle’s brake signal from overriding the motorhome’s turn signal. You only need a Brake-Lite Relay if you’re installing a supplemental towed vehicle braking system that pushes or pulls the brake pedal. (comes standard with Even Brake®) Exceptions – • With the engine off, step on your brakes. If the brake lights do not illuminate, you do not need a Brake-Lite Relay. • If you’re using magnetic tow lights or a bulb and socket wiring kit, you do not need a Brake-Lite Relay. • If the motorhome and towed vehicle are wired for separate brake and turn signals, you do not need a Brake-Lite Relay. 14-6093 88400 Brake-Lite Relay 14-6093 88400 shown • Truly universal — works with all braking systems that depress the brake pedal. • Exceptional range and reliability — line-ofsight transmission confirmed to 1,000 feet; proprietary send/repeat circuitry confirms each signal at 100 percent reception. • Confirms each audio signal at 100% reception • Protects the towed vehicle’s brakes — reports any braking activity to the motorhome monitor; includes a low-battery alert, extended braking and break-away alarms, and five other audio and/or visual alarms and system status notifications. • 30-minute installation, all at the towed vehicle; simply plug the motorhome monitor into any 12-volt outlet. • Automatic operation — activates only when the vehicles are connected for towing Specifications — frequency: 923 MHz; voltage: 12V; sleep current: 30mA 61-0048 9530 Universal monitor Universal Wireless Supplemental Braking System Monitor Brake Light Relay 751490 shown The best upgrade or replacement monitor on the market ACCESSORIES FOR ALL BRAKING SYSTEMS 22-37
