Sleep Mode - TEKONSHA Prodigy RF Guia De Instalacion

Reverse
When backing a trailer you can cancel "BOOST" and
"HOLD" for a period of three minutes. This can be
accomplished by pressing the boost button continuous-
ly for five seconds with the brake pedal depressed. The
display will indicate:
(If "boost" was active, the right hand decimal point
will also be on.) After three minutes the "BOOST" and
"HOLD" features will automatically return to your
previous settings.
NOTE:
Returning to your previous settings prior to three min-
utes can be accomplished by pressing the boost button.

Sleep Mode

To conserve power, the Prodigy RF system will enter a
sleep mode 2 hours after there has been no movement
or braking activity on the Power Module or Hand Held
Unit.
Wake Up
1. Pressing the brake pedal in the tow vehicle or con-
necting/disconnecting the trailer from the Power
Module will wake up both the Power Module and
Hand Held Unit
2. The Hand Held Unit will wake up by any activation
of the Manual, Power or Boost. However, if the
Power Module does not have power or is discon-
nected, the Hand Held Unit will flash "n.c." then
return to the sleep mode.
Probable Cause
Trailer is connected and Prodigy RF loses connection
to battery ground.
Prodigy RF "sees" an overload condition during operation.
1. Prodigy RF sees brake wire short during idle condition.
2. Use of some test lights or non-Tekonsha testers
can cause this problem.
1. Power Module not connected to tow vehicle.
2. Trailer connector disconnected or corroded.
3. Key off or Loss of Battery Power from tow vehicle.
4. Trailer connected with open circuit on the brake line.
5. Loss of trailer brake magnet ground.
6. Loss of RF Communications, signal or interference.
7. Unit not paired or improperly paired.
1. Loss of power to Prodigy RF Hand Held Unit.
2. Loss of Ground to Prodigy RF Hand Held Unit.
3. Sleep mode. To wake up, press manual or boost button.
4. Blown fuse in Hand Held Power Plug.
Power control set to zero.
1. Intermittent power connection in 7-Way connector.
2. Power is applied while the manual or brake pedal
is depressed.
1. Pairing mode
1. Unable to pair.
2. Trailer connected while in pairing mode. Temporarily
disconnect trailer from Power Module while P.A
is flashing.
3. Brake pedal not depressed during pairing.
4. Unable to recognize Left / Right Turn and Stop Signals.
Appendix A: Trailer Brake Adjustment**
Brakes should be adjusted after the first 200 miles of
operation when the brake shoes and drums have "seated" and
at 3000 mile intervals, or as use and performance requires. The
brakes should be adjusted in the following manner:
1. Jack up trailer and secure on adequate capacity jack
stands. Follow trailer manufacturers recommendations
for lifting and supporting the unit. Check that the wheel
and drum rotate freely.
WARNING Do not lift or support trailer on any part of
the axle or the suspension system.
2. Remove the adjusting hole cover from the adjusting slot
on the bottom of the brake backing plate.
3. With a screwdriver or standard adjusting tool, rotate the
starwheel of the adjuster assembly to expand the brake
shoes. Adjust the brake shoes out until the pressure of the
linings against the drum makes the wheel very difficult to
turn.
Note: With drop spindle axles, a modified adjusting tool with
about an 80 degree angle should be used.
4. Then rotate the starwheel in the opposite direction until
the wheel turns freely with a slight lining drag.
5. Replace the adjusting hole cover and lower the wheel to
the ground.
6. Repeat the above procedure on all brakes.
WARNING Never crawl under your trailer unless it is
resting on properly placed jack stands.
Follow the trailer manufacturers recommendations for lifting
and supporting the unit. Do not lift or place supports on any
part of the suspension system.
