Home of the BrakeBuddy 4371 Platte Avenue Sedalia, Colorado 80135-8074 Phone (800) 470-2287 Fax (303) 814-0977 E-Mail: stop@brakebuddy.com Website: Brakebuddy.com Brakebuddy Alert System The Alert System is a wireless monitor that illuminates on your motorhomes dashboard when the BrakeBuddy is activated. This system consists of two parts, the Receiver and Transmitter. Transmitter Receiver The Transmitter plugs into the top of the BrakeBuddy and sends a signal to the Receiver when the BrakeBuddy is activated. The Receiver plugs into a 12v outlet on the dash of the motorhome. When the BrakeBuddy is activated in the towed vehicle, the Receiver will illuminate. Before towing, perform a simple test to assure your Alert System is operating properly. Have someone push the red test button on the BrakeBuddy and hold it for ten seconds while you are in your motorhome looking at the Receiver. The Receiver will illuminate for the full ten seconds without blinking. Do not do this while the motorhome is moving! The Alert Receiver will illuminate: (1) if the BreakAway pin is pulled; (2) when the test button is depressed; or (3) when the BrakeBuddy activates as a result of forward inertia (i.e., the braking of the motorhome). When the BreakAway pin is pulled, in addition to the Receiver illuminating, an audible buzzer will sound after ten seconds.
