System Status indicator/on
Screen alerts
The System Status Indicator is used in
conjunction with On Screen Alerts and
will inform the user of any important
messages. Under normal conditions,
the indicator status will be highlighted
green and will have a green
checkmark in the window as shown
in Figure 3. The user has the option
of setting warning alerts if either the
coolant or transmission temperatures
exceed preset values. In such a
case, the System Status Indicator
will be highlighted red and a warning
message will appear. This warning is
also accompanied by an audible alarm.
The threshold temperature values are
adjustable from 180 degrees to 250
degrees and the audible alert volume
may be set to low, medium, high or
silent. The System Status Indicator
will also communicate any faults that
may be detected in the SpeedBrake
circuitry, allowing for quick and easy
troubleshooting.
The System Status Indicator will also
alert the driver to a condition that
even with maximum braking effort the
vehicle is still accelerating. Using the
manual Foot Brake is required in this
situation.
To access the On Screen Alerts
feature setup, from the System
Monitor screen, press the center of
the 5-way navigation button to access
the System Menu. Press the “On
Screen Alerts” button as shown in
Figure 4 to access the temperature
selection and the alert volume
selection. Use the “Decrease” and
“Increase” buttons to select suitable
settings for temperature and select
the desired volume by pressing the
volume buttons. A sample of the alert
will sound for reference. When you
have completed your selections, press
the “Back” button to return to the
System Menu. Press the “Back” button
again to return to the System Monitor
screen.
operation/Driving
Now that you are familiar with the
features that are available with the
Banks SpeedBrake, it is recommended
that you experiment with the various
settings prior to using the braking
features in a towing situation. Under
light load conditions on local streets,
the ON mode in the medium (MED)
setting is an appropriate starting
condition to provide a reasonable
demonstration that the brake is
functioning.
Anytime the brake is active and the
foot brake is applied, the vehicle
will not up shift until the throttle is
pressed. This is also true even if cruise
control is resumed.
wheel Slip Detection
The Banks SpeedBrake continuously
monitors wheel speeds to detect
possible slippage caused by braking.
If this occurs, the brake will shut off
until traction is regained and then
remain off for 30 seconds. This will be
communicated as fault via the System
Status Indicator.
