TruControl ™ is the first advanced electric brake controller that uses Current Compensating Technology, also know as Enhanced Proportional Braking. TruControl™ reads the actual electrical current required by your trailer brakes. As heat builds in your trailer brakes, the TruControl™ compensates by increasing the power to maintain constant trailer braking force. This feature reduces the brake fade experienced in electric brake systems using conventional brake controllers.
TruControl™ detects the type of brake system on your trailer — electric or hydraulic. Either system is optimally controlled by TruControl. TruControl configures itself automatically to provide the smoothest, fastest response and most proportional tow vehicle to trailer brake response possible.
TruControl™ provides a unique approach to trailer brake gain setting. With the use of our Trailer/Tow Vehicle Configuration setting, the gain is automatically adjusted to provide smooth stops at any speed and over any terrain. This allows TruControl™ provide maximum stopping power at all times.
As trailer brakes heat up during use, their power requirements increase significantly. It’s known as brake fade. That means you lose stopping power.
With Current Compensating Technology, the output to the brakes is adjusted to counter the effects of brake fade. As the brakes heat up, TruControl™ increases the power output. You always have the stopping power when you need it.
Current Compensation, by itself, makes TruControl™ the safest brake controller on the market. But we weren’t satisfied yet.
Our research indicated that hydraulic disc brakes in your tow-vehicle are more efficient at high speeds while the electric drum brakes in a trailer are more efficient at low speeds.
That’s why standard proportional braking doesn’t work. Standard proportional braking sends power to the trailer brakes directly proportional to the amount of braking applied to the tow-vehicle brakes. That’s like putting a distance runner on the starting line with a sprinter and expecting them to finish at the same time, no matter the distance. It just doesn’t work. And it’s why 90% of drivers set their gains dangerously low.
The answer? Develop software that will adjust the power out, or gain, at different speeds to equalize the braking performance of disc and drum brakes working together.
We call it Enhanced Proportional Braking. It is the secret to give you the absolute smoothest braking performance possible. Previously, this type of braking performance could only be accomplished by upgrading your trailer brakes to hydraulic disc brakes, an upgrade that costs thousands of dollars. Now you can have disc brake performance at a fraction of the cost.
But we still weren’t satisfied. Other features of TruControl™ include:
