Why is the BrakeSmart compatible with electric/hydraulic brake actuating systems?
The BrakeSmart was originally designed to be used with Master Brake Systems Elecdraulic brake actuator. The BrakeSmart can handle the fly-back current that these systems produce. The superior, top drawer electronics used in the BrakeSmart gives it capacities that no other controller can match. The BrakeSmart enhances these systems because we measure the brake pressure of the tow vehicle then give a signal (voltage) that is proportionate to both this pressure reading and what the trailer is asking for. All of this is independent of pedal travel, vehicle or controller attitude. Resetting the Unit: Press the “M” and the “E” buttons simultaneously to manually reset the BrakeSmart. Electric Brake Calibration: Note: This procedure is necessary only if your trailer does not have 2 axles. Ensure the tow vehicle and trailer are stopped. Please complete this procedure every time you connect the trailer. This will enable the auto-compensate mode to stop electric brakes from fading during braking
