axles, and within two inches from the center line of
the trailer (unless congured for an offset).

FIGURE 18 ‑ INSTALLATION ON TRAILER (CENTER LINE)
• With exhaust port facing downward and unobstructed
withsignicantfreespacebelow(>1inch).
• Within±40"ofthecenteroftheaxle(s)forproper
balanced brake applications.
• Within ± 2" from the center line of the trailer (default).
Note: a left/right offset greater than ± 2" may have
been programmed in the ECU and can be veried
using Bendix ACom diagnostic software (version
6.1 or higher).
• Yaw angle shallbe ± 10°as measured fromthe
center line of the trailer.
• Pitchangleshallbe±10°asmeasuredfromaat
horizontal plane.
• Roll angle shall be within ± 5° as measured from a
athorizontalplane.
For tank‑mount modules:Installthenipplettinginto
the modulator‑valve supply port. Then rotate the entire
assemblyintothetankportuntilsecure.Over-torquing
of the tank nipple could cause damage to the valve
body.
For frame‑mount modules:Torquethemountingnuts
to180-220in-lbs.
2. Reconnect all air hoses and plugs to the module.
Depending on the installation, additional plugs may
be necessary. Thread sealant products that contain
Teonmaybeused,howeverthreadsealanttapeisnot
recommended as there is a potential for tape material
entering the valve and affecting the valve’s operation.
Make certain that no thread sealant enters the valve.
Allairhosesandttingsshouldbecheckedforleaks
prior to returning the vehicle to service.
3. Reconnect the ECU power, auxiliary if present and

Apply a moderate amount of non‑conductive electrical
grease to each connector pin before reconnecting.
 Note:Thewheelspeedsensorsmustfollowtheorienta‑
