TEST DRIVE & ADJUSTMENT
Both the output and sensitivity can be adjusted to achieve smooth,
firm stops. Output and sensitivity adjustments should only be made
while stopped, with the transmission in park or neutral, parking
brake applied, foot off the brake pedal, and no manual control
actuation. Note: Perform the adjustments in a safe environment
with minimal vehicle traffic.
Starting with the output adjustment, drive forward on a dry and
level paved or concrete surface. At approximately 25 mph, apply
the vehicle's brakes. If trailer braking is insufficient, increase the
max output setting in the brake control application. If the trailer
brakes lock up, decrease the max output. Repeat this process
until stops are firm, just short of lock up.
Once the output is set, adjust the sensitivity by driving forward
at approximately 25 mph and press the brake pedal. The vehicle
and trailer should make a smooth stop. If the stop seems slow
and more aggressive braking is desired, increase the sensitivity
level through the brake control application. If the stop seems too
aggressive, decrease the sensitivity level in the application.
Make several stops at various speeds and adjust the sensitivity until
stops are smooth and firm. Slight adjustment to the output control
may also be desirable. Note: If any problems occur during setup,
refer to the 'Troubleshooting Guide' on the last page of this manual.

Manual Brake Activation
Manual brake control activation is used in situations where a slow
reduction in speed is desirable. As the manual control is activated,
the Echo
™
begins to apply the trailer brakes. Manual output can be
activated by pressing and holding the orange button in the app.
The manual control can be set up to apply 100% of the unit's power
to the trailer brakes or to limit power to the output control setting.
Echo
™
is factory-set with the switch in the 'limited to the output
control' position. This can be changed in the app settings menu.
Max Output
Sensitivity Level
The output control establishes the max amount of power available
to the trailer brakes when braking. The output should be adjusted
during initial setup, when trailer load changes, when different
trailers are used or when adjustment is needed for changing road
or driving conditions.
The sensitivity level adjusts trailer aggressiveness when activated
during braking, not manual override. Sensitivity adjustment has no
effect on the manual brake control. The sensitivity can be adjusted
for individual driver preference, trailer load changes or changing
road conditions.
