Editor's Note: This news item was retrieved and first published through RVBusiness' website.
Roadmaster announces its new Universal Wireless Brake Monitor and Switch System, which incorporates a brake signal transmitter, receiver and an infrared stop light switch for RVers towing dinghy vehicle. According to a press release, depending on the vehicle make/model, an application-specific brake light switch (purchased separately) is also required. After several months of development and testing, Roadmaster debuts its advancement to the public.
RVBusiness.com relays the news on Roadmaster's new innovations: The transmitter is installed in the dinghy vehicle with only positive, negative and brake signal leads, while the receiver plugs into the motorhome’s 12-volt DC (cigarette lighter) socket. The infrared brake switch attaches to the brake pedal arm with 3M tape and nylon ties (supplied) and is powered by a single, dedicated 12-volt DC power source. The infrared brake switch measures the distance between the floorboard and brake pedal with a cone of light, and when the brake pedal moves, it sends a signal to the receiver in the motorhome. The system also includes low battery, extended braking (drag) and break-away alerts.
