പ്രവർത്തന നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ

The Venturer NEXT brake controller is designed for ease of use with its time-delay activation system. It provides fully adjustable power and ramp time to match your specific towing requirements.

ക്രമീകരണങ്ങൾ ക്രമീകരിക്കുന്നു

• ഗെയിൻ സെറ്റിംഗ്: Use the controls on the unit to adjust the "gain" or braking power. This determines how aggressively the trailer brakes engage. Start with a lower setting and gradually increase until you achieve smooth, effective braking.
• ലോഡ് ക്രമീകരണം: Adjust the load setting to match the weight of your trailer. This helps optimize the braking performance for different trailer sizes.
• Ramp സമയം: ആർamp time controls how quickly the braking power reaches its maximum. Adjust this for a comfortable and controlled stop.
• LED ഡിസ്പ്ലേ: The integrated LED display shows the ramp-up progress and current power adjustments. The brightness of this display can be adjusted for optimal visibility in various lighting conditions (day or night).

The large LCD display indicates braking power and ramp-up progress.
