Introducing Brake Inspector the Electronic Air Brake Diagnostic

Introducing Brake Inspector® …. the Electronic Air Brake Diagnostic System ® ®

Brake Inspector® is an electronic air brake diagnostic system that monitors a vehicle’s air brakes Identifies brakes that are out-of- adjustment or approaching the adjustment limit Detects non-activating brake chambers Indicates slow to activate brake chambers Indentifies brakes that have failed to release Detects slow to release brake chambers Indicates weak or broken parking brake springs ®

BRAKE SAFE LOGGER™ eliminates the number one fleet brake problem: OUT-OFADJUSTMENT BRAKES OUT OF SERVICE VIOLATIONS MAJOR DEFECTS ALL OTHER DEFECTS 41% TOTAL BRAKE DEFECTS ALL OTHER DEFECTS OUT OF SERVICE VIOLATIONS BRAKE DEFECTS BRAKES OTHER 44% TOTAL BRAKE DEFECTS 59% OPERATION AIR BRAKE - SEPTEMBER 11 -17, 2011 - CANADA & USA OPERATION AIR BRAKE - SEPTEMBER 8 -14, 2013 - CANADA & USA Brake defects accounted for 59% of out-ofservice violations. BRAKE ADJUSTMENT BRAKES OTHER BRAKE ADJUSTMENT 56% OPERATION AIR BRAKE - SEPTEMBER 8 -14, 2013 - CANADA & USA Brake adjustment defects were the leading cause of brake related out-of -service violations (56% of all brake defects). Vehicles equipped with Automatic slack adjusters accounted for 80% of out-of adjustment violations

The Importance of Brake Adjustment ® Proper Brake Adjustment Means Shorter Stopping Distance

Brake Inspector® Benefits Reduced Maintenance Costs Fewer unnecessary brake adjustments Pre-empt costly repairs by identifying existing and potential brake repairs Extend brake lining and tire life with balanced braking

Brake Inspector® Benefits Improved Fleet Productivity Less driver time on brake pre-trip inspection Less downtime from out- of- service infractions Reduced PM time spent on foundation brake system Less mechanic time locating and diagnosing brake faults Equipment is on the road quicker with less downtime in shop

Brake Inspector® Benefits Improved Fleet Safety Eliminate roadside infractions and resulting fines No loss of brake related demerit points Increase operator confidence in safety and reliability of fleet equipment Demonstrate safety commitment to regulatory and inspection agencies

Brake Inspector® Features In-cab Display Module monitors up to four axles simultaneously Brake status shown at each wheel-end position Green, Green Yellow & Red “Status LEDs” provides easy use and understanding Recall of last brake application Switch between “Driver mode” and “Maintenance mode” ®

Brake Inspector® Features Driver mode and Maintenance mode Driver Mode shows LEDs lighting only when a brake “fault” condition is detected. Brakes working properly (“no fault” conditions) are not shown. Maintenance mode shows all LEDs lighting each time brakes are applied. Both “no fault” and “fault” conditions shown with each brake application. Driver mode shows lights only when a “fault” is detected at the wheel sensor. Normal brake application shows all LED’s off in driver mode. Driver mode Maintenance mode

Brake Inspector® Features Intelligent sensors mounted at brake chambers identify brake faults and communicate with Display Module. Sensors activated by magnetic clevis pin (trucks) or magnetic clamp indicator pin (trailers). Electronic wheel-end sensors programmed to DOT standard 1. 75”, 2. 00”, or 2. 50” stroke travel limits. Powerful magnetic field with up to ¼ inch air gap with sensor

Brake Inspector® Features Cable extensions and crossover junctions link Sensors to Display Module Wheel sensors Cable extensions Wheel sensor Crossover junctions Power wire Display Module Wheel sensors Cable extensions Wheel sensor

Brake Inspector® Features System runs self diagnostics: üLED bulb check at start up üSensor – Magnetic clevis pin alignment üFaulty sensor Key components are environmentally sealed for severe operation Highest quality OEM grade circuitry and components ®

How Does Brake Inspector® Work? Brakes are applied and the push rod moves the magnetic clevis pin across sensor face ® Magnet activates sensor and a multiplex signal transmits data to Display Module Brakes are released and the push rod retracts the magnetic clevis pin across sensor face A multiplex signal transmits data to Display Module Brakes Applied Brakes Released

How Does Brake Inspector® Work? Green LED’s on the Brake Inspector® module indicate that all brakes are within adjustment limit Yellow LED’s on the Brake Inspector ® module indicate 1/8 inch stroke travel left before limit. Red LED’s on the Brake Inspector ® module indicate stroke travel has reached or exceeded adjustment limit ® Maintenance Mode Driver Mode

Brake Inspector® will save your fleet time and money! Reduced Maintenance Costs ü No unnecessary brake adjustments ü Pre-empt costly repairs ü Balanced braking Improved Productivity ü Mechanics ü Drivers ü Equipment Improved Fleet Safety ü Eliminate roadside detention ü Avoid costly inspection fines ®
