LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT OF IPA®

My name is Peter Vinci and I am the president of IPA®. I would like to thank

you for your interest in IPA®’s product line and share my commitment

to you, our products and our policies. In today’s world, we have all

experienced the lack of service and consideration demonstrated by many

companies after you buy their products. They say whatever they can to

make the sale, and then it’s like pulling teeth to get any service response

out of them. I know this myself rst hand and because of this, I want to be

sure that your experience with IPA®meets your expectations and that IPA®

never disappoints you with our service or customer response.

To prove my commitment to you, if for any reason, you are not happy with

one of our products – or more importantly, with the response from our

customer service department, or any member of the IPA®team, I invite you

to contact me directly via my email, [email protected] or call me

at 888-786-7899. Your satisfaction is more important to me than the sale

itself. We will not be in business for long if we don’t make you completely

happy with our products and service. I want IPA®to be different and be

known for its quality and service.

With that said, please take a look at our product line. You will see

innovative rst time products that were created to help you do your job

faster and better than before.

I would also like to invite you to critique our products. If you can think of

a better way to make them or changes that will make them work better,

please contact me directly and I will be sure to look into it. If you have an

innovation and would like some feedback, give me a call.

From all of us at IPA®, we thank you for taking the time to review our

product line and wish you and your family the very best of everything.

COMPATIBILITY

The #9107A Electric Brake Force Meter with Dynamic Load Simulation

and Circuit Testing is designed to work with most all year/make/model

vehicles equipped with 7-spade trailer connections. If you suspect the

Electric Brake Force Meter does not work with your application, please call

us at 845-679-4500.

INTRODUCTION

The#9107A Electric Brake Force Meteris a professional, high-quality tool

that allows you to test the electric brake controller output and all tow-lighting

functions without a trailer present.

PRECAUTIONARY EXPLANATION:

Before testing, it’s important to note that there are several different methods

utilized by OEMs for establishing connections to trailers and automatically

adjusting gain. In most cases, each OEM takes their own approach to the

design and function of Electric Trailer Brake Controllers. Additionally, the

OEM’s methods have evolved over the years. Never assume that any two

makes or different year ranges will act the same way. For example, some

controllers limit output gain unless the vehicle is moving. Others limit output

gain unless the vehicle’s sensors detect heavy braking under load while mov-

ing. Some others allow full output for a short period of time and then limit the

output until the vehicle is moving. The purpose of this tool is to allow you to

view the output of the vehicle in real time without a trailer present.

PRETEST SET-UP

(MUST FOLLOW EACH USE!)

NOTICE: Brake Force Meter w/ Dynamic Load Simulation and Circuit

Testing will not function unless Tail/Tag or 12V Aux Circuits have

constant power.If your vehicle does not supply 12V Aux at the trailer

connector, leave parking lights on while testing.

WARNING: SET-UP MUST BE COMPLETE BEFORE

ATTACHING CABLE.

WARNING: WHEN TESTING IN CAB, DO NOT PINCH CABLE IN

WINDOW OR DOOR.

SET-UP

1. With meter disconnected from cable, plug 7-way connector to back of vehicle.

2. Bring other end of cable and tester into driver's compartment, leaving

tester disconnected.

3. Set Emergency Brake.

4. Turn Vehicle Engine ON and let idle.

5. KEEP FOOT OFF BRAKE. ONLY AFTER engine is running, plug the 9-pin

connector to the socket of the tester and lightly tighten the thumb screws.

6. Verify 12V circuit is powered or turn on Tail/Tag Circuit.

7. Wait for yellow ECU detection light to stop blinking.

8. For vehicles equipped with integrated controllers, look for the words

"Trailer Connected" on your instrument panel and the ECU Detection

light to remain steady within a few seconds of connecting the #9107A

to a vehicle with engine running.

9. Set-up is now complete.

ALTERNATIVE SET-UP PROCEDURE

In 2016 and 2017 models, some OEMs changed the way the brake control-

lers search for a trailer signal. To establish a “Trailer Connected” message

with these vehicles if the basic method described above does not work,

press and hold the brake pedal during #7 of the Set-up Procedure. May not

work on GM model years ranging from '07-'10.

TESTING

1. With the #9107A connected and engine running, increase the brake force

adjustment on your instrument panel to maximum output (usually #10).

2. Without applying pressure to the brake pedal, operate the manual brake

lever on your controller and take note of the number of LEDs that illu-

minate. It is recommended to maintain application for up to 20 seconds

and observe any changes.

3. Release the manual brake lever and apply moderate pressure to the

brake pedal. Observe the series of 10 LEDs at the top of your tester as

they sequentially illuminate. This indicates the extent of 12V power avail-

able at the connector to actuate trailer brakes.

4. While increasing brake pressure, you should see more of the 10 LED
