FAQ.
Q: What kind of brakes does the E-Stopp work with?
A: Any brakes that accept a standard emergency brake cable.
Q: Will the unit hook up to my existing e-brake cables?
A: Yes, it actually makes for an easier install.
Q: Can it be attached to both brakes?
A: Yes, most emergency brake cables run to both brakes. If yours do not, you can buy a simple adapter to combine cables.
Q: Where should I mount the motor enclosure?
A: With encased cables you can mount it anywhere you have room; on the chassis, under the floorboard or even inside the cab or trunk. Avoid high temperature areas.
Q: Is the E-Stopp weatherproof?
A: The motor enclosure is double-layered weatherproof (IP67 rated). The control box is not and should be mounted in the cab or another protected area.
Q: How many inches of travel does the E-Stopp have?
A: About 2 inches. Most systems only need about 1. The motor stops itself once it reaches 600 pounds of resistance.
Q: Will the E-Stopp drain my battery?
A: No. Once engaged the unit locks and draws only a tiny amount of current from the battery. It would take many years for the battery to run dry.
Q: What happens if my battery dies for other reasons while the brake is engaged?
A: The unit remains engaged until it receives power again.
Q: How does the ignition safety device work?
A: The E-Stopp can be wired to your vehicle’s ignition switch. Doing so prevents the E-Stopp from being accidentally engaged while driving.
Q: Is the E-Stopp DOT certified?
A: Unfortunately not. The DOT only certifies brake hoses and calipers.
Q: Can I purchase replacement parts?
A: Yes! Just give us a call!
