Trailer module to the Pistenking Kingbus system.

Trailer module to the Pistenking Kingbus system.

This trailer module is a real all-rounder. It is connected to the tractor via infrared. An infrared transmitter module must be installed in the tractor for data transmission. (Article 11704).
In addition to the standard Kingbus light modules, two motors can be connected to this trailer module. Thus, for example, the supports or ramps can be operated on the trailer. Each motor can also be equipped with a limit switch. The necessary preparations have already been made. All you have to do is connect the limit switches to the supplied cable.

The module has an input for a potentiometer. This measures the bending angle between tractor and semi-trailer. For this we offer a separate parts set (11702). In the steering axle control can be switched between "caster" and "reverse" (by pressing a button on the Kingpad). In addition, it is possible to manually control the axes in the desired steering angle - also by pressing a button on the Kingpad!
Furthermore, up to 16 LEDs (side marker lights) can be connected in series to the module. The luminosity can be steplessly dimmed with the potentiometer on the module. The LEDs turn on with the parking light.
With an additional Kingpad, which is mounted on the trailer, the motors (supports / ramps) can be operated without infrared connection to the tractor. This is useful if, for example, the tractor has already been cleared after a day's drive, but the ramps on the trailer still need to be folded.

All these special functions can be operated via the existing Kingpad. With the "S-key" can be switched to a second level. The buttons of the light functions are used for the special functions (supports, ramps, fifth wheel, steering axles). To explain the second-level buttons, a small sticker is provided to describe the functions. This is glued between the upper and lower row of keys on the Kingpad. For a more detailed explanation, a sticker in original Kingpad size is also included. This can be glued to a free space on the remote control.
Also note the connection diagram.
In addition to the infrared receiver, all cables and plugs are included.

Kingbus systems that were purchased from November 2015 already support the trailer functions! With "older" modules we can install a software update on the Kingbus central module! Feel free to contact us...
