Frequently Asked Questions:
Q:
A:
Can ATC be retrofitted to my caravan?
Yes, ATC is retrofittable to most caravans with AL-KO chassis.


Where does ATC get its power from?
ATC is connected to the caravan distribution box and the supply is provided by the constant live (pin 4) from the grey 12S plug.

How much power does ATC require?
When ATC is activated, it instantly draws 15 amps and must take priority over any other 12 volt equipment using the same pin – I.E. caravan battery charger.

Can ATC also be fitted on caravans with a (7-pin) plug?
Yes. The system requires the use of electrical connections from the 12S(grey) plug. It also works with caravans fitted with the new 13-pin plug.


Where does the LED need to be fitted?
Near the overrun device on the front fairing.


Do the brake lights function when ATC is activated?
No. The ATC brakes the caravan and car softly. The driver will feel when ATC has activated.


Does ATC need maintenance?
No the system is maintenance free.


How do I know that ATC is ready to use?
As soon as the 7-pin plug is connected to the towing vehicle, the ATC completes a pre-flight test. The function status is shown via a green LED on the overrun device.
Green (or flashing green) = ready for use.
Red = ATC not functioning, but car can be driven.
Flashing red = caravan brakes are applied. Car and caravan should not be driven.

How do I recognise that the ATC system is working in the car?
Soft braking is noticed in the car.
