QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE
OPERATION AND TESTING
ELECTRICAL TESTING
1. CABLE TESTING: It is always recommended to use the cable tester to verify
that the MUTT ® ’s 7 round pin cable is in proper working order before trailer
testing. To perform the Cable Test, insert both ends of the 7 pin cable one in
each receptacle on the MUTT ® ’s side. Once the cable is installed, turn the
MUTT ® On to verify the continuity between both ends of the cable. Look for
the solid green light verifying Ground Integrity and note if there are any green
circuit LEDs blinking. Note that each circuit is tested upon start up as well as
ground fault check. Solid LEDs mean good connection and blinking LEDs
indicate an open circuit or poor continuity. The cable tester can also be used to
inspect all trailer cables.
2. GROUND INTEGRITY: When the MUTT ® is first turned on, Ground Integrity
and Open Circuit checks are being performed. The green lights around the
Control Knob will blink and disappear one at a time until only the Ground Integ-
rity light remains solid green. When all the lights blink, it indicates a poor cable
connection or bad ground. Individual blinking lights indicate an open circuit.
(Refer to pg. 11, K)
3. CIRCUIT PROBLEM INDICATION: As you turn the MUTT ® Control Knob to
test each circuit, a steady green light verifies a properly working circuit. Refer
to the three ed LEDs to the left of the Control Knob for circuit problem indica-
tion. These LEDs will blink and the MUTT ® will sound if there is a problem.
4. LOW DRAW LED TRAILERS: The MUTT ® will identify any circuit drawing less
than 100 mA as an open circuit. The trailer must have a minimum of two stan-
dard LED pods on each circuit. ABS circuits using ABS computers are typically
within the threshold and do not require additional load.
5. CIRCUIT SELECTION: Circuits can be selected by pressing the Control
Knob for Auto Cycle mode, manually turning the Control Knob, or by using the
remote control.
6. ALL CIRCUITS ON: All circuits can be turned on at one time by pressing/hold-
ing the large remote button for 5 seconds. To cancel, press and release the
large button on the remote.
AIR BRAKE TESTING
(See detailed instructions on page 20-22)
1. AIR BRAKE TESTING: Turn the Power Source button to the desired power
source.
2. LEAK DOWN TEST: To conduct leak down test on the Service and Emergency
line air circuits, open the Emergency Side ball valve to charge the circuit with
air, then close ball valve and note any pressure drop. Any pressure drop on
the gauge is an indication of a leak in the circuit. Repeat leak down test on the
Service Side.
3. ACTUATE BRAKES: Push the selector switch to left, then by using the remote
control and in real time, actuate the brake servos. This feature allows you to see
