Roadmaster Introduces Universal Brake Monitor and Switch System

After several months of development and testing, Roadmaster recently introduced its new Universal Wireless Brake Monitor and Switch System (part number 759530B), which incorporates a brake signal transmitter, receiver and an infrared stop light switch.

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, meanwhile, 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.
