Brake Controllers For Manual Trailer Brake Atlanta GA

The ultramodern Odyssey II? brake controller derives much of its technology from Valley's original Odyssey? controller, and includes enhancements such as a user preset button that allows drivers to save their brake controller settings (Load Level and Output Gain) to one of four memory positions (similar to saving station presets on a radio).

The preset function is convenient when the vehicle/trailer has multiple operators who prefer slightly different settings or when the operator has multiple trailers or tows a trailer that requires different settings when it is loaded/unloaded, or if the operator encounters any combination of these scenarios.

An exclusive pressure sensitive switch for manual trailer brake activation is also new. The switch replaces the manual sliding lever common to other controllers. It allows the operator more finite control over the power being applied to the trailer brakes. The harder the button is pushed, the more power is applied.

An enhanced display panel has also been designed to support the controller's advanced functions. Four green LED lights indicate the operator's preset selections while a segmented LED shows the pressure being applied by the manual braking switch. And, rather than a rotary knob to control Output Gain adjustments, two separate buttons for Gain Increase (+) and Gain Decrease (-) are now presented.

More compact than the Odyssey, it can be easily mounted to more locations inside the vehicle and sports an integrated harness connector within its case for added plug-and-play convenience. A mating harness is also supplied with the controller, as are a custom slide-in mounting bracket, hardware and easy-to-follow installation instructions. A 30-amp circuit breaker, (purchased separately) may be required for some vehicles.

Patented dual-axis accelerometer technology continually recognizes varying road terrain changes and senses the vehicle's rate of deceleration to apply the correct amount of braking force at precise intervals for a smooth and seamless stop.

Designed for light- to heavy-duty applications (one to four axle trailers) with 2, 4, 6 or 8 brake systems, the Odyssey II features four easily adjustable power level settings. Each level increases the initial power curve to the trailer brakes, making the controller fully adjustable for progressively heavier loads.

The brake control also incorporates polarity protection in that the control will not be destroyed in the event the power and ground wires are connected backwards. The unit creates no output interference with vehicle electrical systems, cruise control systems or anti-lock brakes and is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
