Warning
Welding:
It is very important to avoid using the TRAILERteck T05 unit when welding is
being carried out on the trailer. Doing so may create a current loop that will
damage the unit. The unit as an electronic protection included inside and any
damage to this protection will void the warranty.
Power failure:
In the case of a power failure, all activated functions will be shut down. Therefore,
for security purposes, always have a functional 12-volt battery hooked up to the
device to prevent injuries.
Special order :
With a constant thinking of innovation and customer satisfaction, REDTECH
alway’s listening to customer demands and need’s. We are able to deliver made to
mesure conception as customer request modification or special option. Some of
them are now standard on device as the sequence mode, activation of electrical
brake, audiable alarme etc...

The LED screen flashes for a few
seconds when the device is turned
on. At that time, the screen displays
the battery voltage. If the device is
used with our CV4501 power
converter / charger, and the CV4501
is plugged into a 120V outlet, the
display shows the voltage given by
the CV4501.
When the LED screen steadies, the
amperage draw is now displayed.
FrE: When the LED display
shows these letters, the T05 is in
FREEZE mode. Refer below to the
"FREEZE" function on the 15-
function remote for more
information.
The corresponding light will blink when a short circuit is detected in an activated circuit. At the
same time, the device will emit an audible signal until the short is repaired.
If the light only blinks without a audible signal, it may be because you have activated the
optional output of this circuit.

GettGetting started
The device needs to be hooked up to a 12-Volt power source (either a battery or our CV4501 power supply)
Follow these few simple steps to get started:
Hook up an air line with an emergency glad hand to the emergency outlet (red) of the device.
Hook up an air line with a service glad hand to the service outlet (blue) of the device.
Hook up a standard 7-wire power cord to the 7-way socket.
Put an air fitting to the air input of the device and hook up shop air to it.
Hook up the emergency and service glad hands and the 7-way power cord to the trailer.
You are ready to start using the device.
Programming a remote control
A remote control can be programmed very quickly in a few easy steps.
15-function remote
Make sure the device is turned off
Press and hold the ON/OFF button on the control panel for approximately 5 seconds until the ON/OFF
light starts to blink.
Release the ON/OFF button
Press the red button (PROG) on the remote and release
The remote is now programmed
Special function of remote
Function #3 et #4 : Flasher constant or blinking
The device came normally programmed with the output of the flasher activated constantly. If you want to have that
output to flash, you have to press and hold the #3 or #4 for 5 second. You will witness the difference with the
activation of the output flashing and the light on the trailerteck will blink. You will hear the buzzer if this option is
activated. To come back at a constant output, you have to press and hold the #3 or #4 for 5 second again.
Function #6 : standard brake light or Electrical brakes
To activate the electrical brake function, you must press and hold the button #6 for 10 seconds. You will witness
the activation of the electrical brake once the brake light on the Trailteck starts blinking. The output current will go
down a bit to permit the activation of the electrical brake system
Function alarm
Hold for 5 seconds to activate/deactivate the audible signal coming from the device when a remote function is
activated
Function Freeze
.For safety purposes. Hold 5 seconds to freeze /unfreeze the remote and the device. When the remote and the
device are frozen, all the functions activated will stay activated but no other functions can be applied

Diagnostic functions
Air leaks
Hook up shop air to the TRAILERteck unit
Hook up the unit to the semi-trailer
oEmergency
oService
Turn on the EMERGENCY function
Allow the pressure to stabilize
Turn on the SERVICE function
Allow the pressure to stabilize once more
Shut off the manual entry valve to prevent the air from flowing into the device and the trailer.
Since the device is air tight, a pressure drop on one of the two the pressure gauges means an air leak in
the corresponding air circuit of the trailer.
Electrical problems
The LED screen flashes for a few seconds when the device is turned on. While it flashes, the screen displays the
battery voltage. If the device is used with our CV4501 power converter / charger, and the CV4501 is plugged into a
120V outlet, the display shows the voltage given by the CV4501.
When the LED screen stabilizes, the amperage draw is now displayed. The amperage draw can help find electrical
problems such as faulty connections or corrosion. Electrical problems have a tendency to create resistance, which
generates heat, which then causes the amperage draw to rise slowly.
It works as follow:
Activate all the electrical functions (lights #1 to #6 on the control panel)
Wait for approximately one minute for the current draw to stabilize
If you see a continuous but slow increase in the amperage draw, 0.1 Amp at a time, there might be an
electrical problem. If this is the case:
oTurn off all the lights on the device.
oIsolate the problem by bringing the lights on individually until you find out in which electrical circuit
the problem is located.
Short circuits:
If a short circuit is found in one of the activated functions, the corresponding light will blink on the control panel. At
the same, a sound signal will be heard until the function is deactivated or the short circuit fixed.
Ground problem:
If there is a ground problem on the trailer, during the inspection, the TRAILERteck device will exhibit unpredictable
behaviour. That happens when the activated functions on the trailer don't match the signals sent by the remote.
The TRAILERteck device will not solve the ground problem; it will only help find it. To carry on the inspection,
simply get a good ground on the trailer with the alligator clip that comes with the device.

Appendix 1: 14-step sequence
The sequence simulates the walk around a trailer by a mechanic while executing a sequence with the SEQ button
on the 15-function remote. The goal is to check all the lights on the trailer using only this button.
The mechanic walks on the left side of the trailer from front to back
