1.2 Avoiding electro-static charge and uncontrolled discharging (ESD)

Note during construction and building the vehicle:
Prevent potential differences between components (e. g. axles) and the vehicle
frame (Chassis).
Make sure that the resistance between metallic parts of the components to the
vehicle frame is lower than 10 Ohm (< 10 Ohm).
Connect moving or insulated vehicle parts such as axles electrically conductive
with the frame.
Prevent potential differences between the towing vehicle and the trailer.
Make sure that an electrically conductive connection is made via the coupling
(king pin, fifth wheel, claws with pins), even with no cable connection.
9
1 TEBS E2 Instructions and safety instructions
Use electrically conductive bolted connections when fastening the ECUs to the
vehicle frame.
Use only cable conforming to WABCO specifications or WABCO original cable.
Run the cable in metallic casing if at all possible (e. g. inside the U-beam) or
behind metallic and grounded protective plating, to minimise the influence of
electro-magnetic fields.
Avoid the use of plastic materials if they can cause electrostatic charging.
Note during repair and welding work on the vehicle:

Disconnect the battery if installed in the vehicle.
Disconnect cable connections to devices and components and protect the plug-
ins and connections from contamination and humidity.
Always connect the grounding electrode directly with the metal next to the weld-
ing position when welding, to prevent magnetic fields and current flow via the
cable or components.
Make sure that current is well conducted by removing paint or rust.
Prevent heat influences on devices and cabling when welding.

2.1.2 Description of the trailer braking system with conventional air suspension
With the introduction of the new Trailer EBS E braking system the tubing and ca-

Trailer brake system

The trailer vehicle is connected to the towing vehicle via two hose couplings for
supply pressure (3) and control pressure (2). The parking release emergency valve
(PREV, 20) is used to conduct the control pressure to the TEBS E (19). The PREV
is equipped with a red button (13) for actuating the parking brake, as well as a fur-
ther black actuating button (14) for releasing the brake which is automatically actu-
ated when the trailer vehicle is unhitched. The compressed air of the reservoir
flows to the Pneumatic Extension Module (PEM, 5) via a check valve integrated in
the PREV.
The PEM includes the following functions:
a charging valve for securing pressure in the air brake system apart from the air
suspension,
an overload protection valve to protect the wheel brakes from overloading
when service and parking brake are actuated simultaneously,
a pressure distribution for the supply "air suspension" and supply "service
brake".
The TEBS E Modulator controls the service brake components (8) of the Tristop
cylinders (9). At least two rotational-speed sensors (18) ABS are connected for
sensing the wheel speeds. A pressure test connection is also provided on the PEM
for measuring the current braking pressure. The PEM charges the service brake
system reservoir (10) with the supply pressure from the PREV.
The same line is used to supply the TEBS E Modulator with supply pressure from
the reservoir. The reservoir for the air suspension system (11) is charged via the
charging valve integrated in the PEM. The charging valve has the task to ensure
that primary pressure is maintained in the "Brake" reservoir and thus the ability of
the towing vehicle to brake, in the event of a pressure drop in the air suspension
system. In order to protect the wheel brakes from overloading from the additional
brake force (diaphragm part and spring chamber of the Tristop cylinder actuated
simultaneously), an overload valve (7) is integrated in the PEM. The pressure is
distributed to the Tristop cylinders (9) by the PEM.
The parking brake is actuated by pressing the red button on PREV (13). This ex-
hausts the parking brake component of the Tristop cylinder so that the integrated
spring can actuate the wheel brake. If the service brake is also used while the
parking brake is actuated, the braking pressure flows into the parking brake com-
ponent of the Tristop cylinders via the overload protection valve, thereby relieving
the force in the parking brake component in proportion to the braking force built up
in the service brake component and so ensuring that there is no addition of force.
Air suspension system

The conventional air suspension system consists of an air suspension valve (17)
and a lifting/lowering valve, e.g. TASC (12) see chapter 4.4 "Speed switches
(ISS 1 and ISS 2)", page 61. Both valves are supplied with supply pressure from
the PEM. The air suspension valve adjusts to the driving level (ride height) of the
trailer vehicle by adjusting the amount of air in the support bellows (15). The lift-
ing/lowering valve can be used to change the level of the trailer vehicle manually,
e. g. for loading or unloading. In addition, a lifting axle valve (16), which is modu-
lated by the TEBS E Modulator relative to load, may also be installed. The lifting
axle valve is also supplied with supply pressure from the PEM.
17
2.1.3 Electronically controlled levelling system (ECAS)
An electronically controlled air suspension system (ECAS) is included in the

TEBS E Premium variant.

3 Brake system
3.1 System version

The brake system Trailer EBS E is an electronically controlled brake system with
load-dependent brake pressure control, automatic antiblocking system (ABS) and
electronic stability control (RSS).
Trailer vehicles equipped with a trailer EBS E may only be towed by motor vehicles
with an extended ISO 7638 plug-in connection (7-pin; 24 volts; towing vehicles with
CAN data line) or with an ISO 7638 plug-in connection (5-pin, 24 volts; towing vehi-
cles with no CAN-data line). This is to be documented with an entry in the certifi-
cate of acceptance.
With the Multi-Voltage variant 480 102 080 0, a 12 V supply in accor-

dance with ISO 7638 is also possible see chapter 3.7.3 "Multi-
Voltage", page 28.
3.2 Scope of application

Vehicles
Trailer vehicles with one or more than one axle in classes O3 and O4 according to
the framework directive 70/156/EWG, Annex II with air suspension, hydraulic sus-
pension, mechanical suspension, disc or drum brakes.
Braking systems
Power braking system with a pneumatic or pneumatic-hydraulic transmission sys-
tem in accordance with the regulations of the German road traffic regulations or
71/320/EEC or ECE-R13 or StVZO (applies in Germany).
Single and dual tyres

For each axle whose rotational speed is sensed, identical tyre dimensions and
identical numbers of pole wheel teeth must be used.
A ratio of tyre circumference to pole wheel tooth count of 23 to 39 is permissi-
ble.
For a 100 tooth pole wheel and a nominal rolling circumference of the tyre of
3250 mm, the maximum wheel speed that can be processed by the EBS is vwheel
max. 160 km/h.
Brake calculation
For using the Trailer EBS E, a specific brake calculation is necessary for the vehi-
cle or vehicle series. Speak to your WABCO partner.

2S/1M, 4S/4M and 6S/3M are not supported by TEBS E.

On vehicles with 5 to 10 axles, two EBS systems can be installed using the CAN
router (see chapter 3.5 "Component descriptions for electro-pneumatic brake sys-
tem", page 25). The 2S/2M system and the 4S/3M system can be combined here.
22
Multi-axle units
Axles or wheels which have had no sensors fitted are indirectly controlled by di-
rectly controlled axles or wheels. Multi-axle units require an almost identical adhe-
sion utilisation on these axles when braking.
If not all wheels have sensors, those axles that have the greatest tendency to lock
up are to be applied with ABS rotational-speed sensors.
Multi-axle assemblies with static axle load allocation only should be equipped in
such a way (brake cylinders, length of brake levers, etc.) that the wheels of all ax-
les reach the locking limit as simultaneously as possible and that a directly con-
trolled wheel does not indirectly control more than two wheels or one axle.
Lifting axles
2S/2M: Lift axles are not to be sensed.
All other system configurations with at least 4S with the exception of drawbar trail-
ers: Lift axles can be sensed with ABS rotational-speed sensors e-f.
Tag axles
Vehicles with tag axles must be equipped with a 4S/2M+1M or 4S/3M system to
prevent the tag axle from locking up.
If the frame is more rigid (e.g. box bodies), a 4S/3M system must be used to pre-
vent the outside wheel from locking up when braking in curves.
Steering axles
Constrained controlled axles are to be treated as rigid axles.
(WABCO recommendation: Trailers with self-steering axles are configured with
4S/3M, 4S/2M+1M or 2S/2M+SLV. If the vehicle is equipped with RSS, one of
these configurations must be used to prevent the vehicle from breaking away in a
curve when RSS actuates.
2S/2M or 4S/2M EBS systems with steering axles: During the type approval for a
trailer, driving tests are to ensure that no impermissible vibrations or course-
deviations occur. The reactions of all available steering axles must be evaluated
during an ABS test. If additional stability is required during ABS operation for a self-
steering axle, the steering axle should be switched to rigid using the speed switch
(ISS).

3.6 Components of the TEBS E Modulators

The TEBS E Modulator is an electronic controller with four input channels for rota-
tional-speed sensors and one CAN interface "Towing vehicle".
The components of the modulator are:
An internal setpoint pressure sensor "Brake pressure"
An internal setpoint pressure sensor "Axle load"
A backup valve for emergency operation if the power fails
Two modulators for controlling the brake cylinders
Two internal pressure sensors for measuring the control pressures for the brake
cylinder
One control output for controlling another axle
One internal pressure sensor for monitoring the supply pressure
One lateral acceleration sensor for monitoring the driving stability
3.7 Supply
The trailer EBS E is activated electrically via 2 of the ISO 7638 plug connection
(terminal 15).
WARNING If the ISO 7638 plug connection to the towing vehicle is not connected, the
ABS-, EBS- and RSS-control functions are no longer available.
Consequence: Wheels lock, increased danger of overturning

Instruct the driver by suitable means with regard to this circumstance (e.g. ad-
hesive label, operating instructions).
3.7.1 Function test when switching on or hooking up
Two seconds after switching on the Trailer EBS E a system check is performed
and the solenoids can be heard to briefly switch on and off.
If the system check is not audible when the 7 or 5 pin ISO 7638 plug connection is
connected, there is a problem in the voltage supply between towing vehicle and
TEBS E (terminal 15, 30 or ground connection of the coiled cable or power cable to
the Trailer EBS Modulator).
Consequence: The modulator is not supplied with voltage.
Remedy: Examine the coiled cable or power cable for continuity, as well as the
plug connections on the towing vehicle for voltage (also under load).
The ABS function may only be available in a restricted form when the trailer EBS is
switched on since a dynamic check of the ABS rotational-speed sensors is not per-
formed until the start of the drive (v > 1.8 km/h).
The integrated backup valves are energised for electro-pneumatic actuation at the
start of braking. This means the pneumatic control pressure is diverted away and
the reservoir pressure is applied to the intake valves of the modulators. This means
pressure control is possible up to the level of supply pressure.
The setpoint specification for Trailer EBS (drivers desired braking effect) is pre-
dominantly specified via the electrical CAN interface "Towing vehicle" (ISO 11992).
If the interface is not available, the setpoint is specified by the setpoint pressure
sensor which is integrated in the TEBS E. In the case of vehicles with critical time
27
response behaviour, the setpoint is specified by an additional, external braking

setpoint pressure sensor in the control line. The pressure is modulated by pressure
control loops with pulsed relay valves.
In order to adapt the brake forces to various loading conditions, the axle loads on
vehicles with air suspension and vehicles with hydraulic suspension are measured
by sensing the bellows pressures. For mechanically suspended vehicles, the load-
ing condition is determined by measuring the compression travel with one distance
sensor or two distance sensors.
3.7.2 Power supply via brake light (24N)
In the event of a failure of the voltage supply via the ISO 7638 plug connection, the
TEBS E braking system can be supplied via an optional stop light supply (24N)
as a safety function.
In accordance with ECE R 13, an exclusive supply via the brake light is not permit-
ted. Please note that with the supply via 24N or ISO 12098 while travelling, the
function "RSS" and the GIO outputs are not active.
If the ECU is only supplied by the brake light while travelling in a braking proce-
dure, the following functions are available:
the load-related braking force distribution (LSV function)
the ABS with limited, delayed control characteristics
the ISS output for actuating a rotary slide valve with RTR function (TASC)
the ECAS RTR function
3.7.3 Multi-Voltage
Application
Semitrailer, central axle trailer with maximum 4S/2M system.
Semitrailer, central axle trailer with maximum 4S/2M+1M system.
Purpose
The multi-voltage variants 480 102 080 0 can be operated with 12 V towing vehi-
cles as well as with 24 V towing vehicles.
Because there is normally no CAN signal in 12 V towing vehicles, the control pres-
sure "Brake" is only transferred to the trailer pneumatically. The GIO outputs are
also not available for connecting a valve.
The following components can be connected however.
External pressure sensors on GIO1 or GIO3
Buttons and switch inputs (e.g. for road finisher brakes) on the GIO1-7
BVA on GIO1-7
SmartBoard or IVTM on a subsystem
28
Connection of the multi-voltage modulator with the tractor.
For the installation and utilisation in mixed operation, an extra 12 V coded connec-
tion socket must be installed in addition to the 24 V coded ISO 7638 connection
socket:
24 V connection socket with CAN signal (446 008 380 2 or 446 008 381 2)
Use power cable 449 173 0 for connecting the 24 V connection socket for
example.
12 V connection socket without CAN signal (446 008 385 2 or 446 008 386 2)
Use a 5-pin (if necessary 7-pin) cable for connecting the 12V connection socket.
A Y power cable must be made using a cabling box to connect the 24V and the
12V connection.
Actuating the GIO outputs in multi-voltage mode is supported so that in

addition to the previously mentioned components, the following exist-
ing valve components can also be connected now:
Multi-Voltage-capable lifting axle valve 463 084 050 0
Multi-Voltage-capable ABS relay valve 472 196 003 0
For GIO functions that require components, the electrical load must
also be defined in the TEBS E Diagnostic Software: Valve (Buzzer) or
Light see chapter 7.1 "Parameter definition with TEBS E Diagnostic
Software", page 125 => Window TEBS GIO Parameter 3.
3.8 System monitoring
3.8.1 Warnings and system messages
An optical warning concerning an error in the trailer system occurs via the warning
lamps in the towing vehicle:
Yellow warning light: Actuation via pin 5 of the ISO 7638 plug-in connection
Red warning light: Actuation via pin 6/7 of the ISO 7638 plug-in connection (CAN
signal)
In modern towing vehicles, the display of the error is realised via a display (e.g. in-
strument panel), the errors that occur during operation are also saved in the
TEBS E.
Signals of the warning lamps are to be monitored by the driver. If the warning
lamps are illuminated, a visit to the workshop is necessary. Follow the instructions
on the display where applicable.
The errors are displayed according to the fault significance. The significance of the
faults is divided into three classes:
Class 0: Light, temporary faults are indicated by the yellow warning lamp. When
the fault ends, the warning lamp goes out again.
Class 1: Average fault, which leads to switching part functions off (e.g. ABS), are
displayed by the yellow warning lamp.
Class 2: Serious faults in the brake system are indicated with the red warning lamp.
29
Warnings after switching on the ignition

Based on ECE R13, two reactions are permitted when switching on the ignition and
can be defined with the TEBS E Diagnostic Software see chapter 7.1 "Parameter
definition with TEBS E Diagnostic Software", page 125 => Window TEBS -
ABS/RSS => Warning lamp function.
Type 1
When the vehicle is at a standstill:
The warning lamp in the towing vehicle illuminates after switching the ignition on.
If no current fault is detected, the warning lamp goes out after approx. 2 seconds.
If a current fault was detected, such as a sensor error, the warning lamp remains
on.
If an ABS sensor fault was saved during the last drive but this fault is no longer
present, the warning lamp goes out after v > 7 km/h.
During driving operation v > 7 km/h:
The warning lamp lights up or remains lit if a current fault was detected.
Go to a workshop and have them rectify the fault.
Type 2
The warning lamp illuminates after switching the ignition on.
If no current fault was detected, the warning lamp goes out after approx. 2 seconds
and lights up again after another 2 seconds.
The warning lamp goes out at v 7 km/h.
If a current fault was detected, such as a sensor broken, the warning lamp remains
on.
Go to a workshop and have them rectify the fault.
Warning signal sequences in the case of voltage supply via ISO 1185/ISO 12098
The voltage supply via ISO 1185 or ISO 12098 (stop light) is provided as a safety
function in order to maintain important control functions in the event of faults in the
voltage supply from the ISO 7638 plug connection.
If the ISO 7638 plug connection fails completely, a warning via pin 5 is not possible.
If the connection is intact via pin 5, the warning lamp is actuated and the driver is
warned.
Warning signal sequences in the case of unspecified faults in accordance with ECE R13
After the switching-on process and the warning lamp test, unspecified faults ac-
cording to ECE directives (service information such as, for example, wear see
chapter 4.11 "Brake lining wear indication (BVA)", page 73) are indicated by the
warning lamp flashing.
The warning lamp goes out once the vehicle's speed exceeds 10 km/h.
3.8.2 Pneumatic redundancy
In the event of a system fault, which requires a (partial-) shut-down of the overall
system, the pneumatic control pressure is switched through to the brake cylinder
directly, however without consideration of the axle loads (LSV). The ABS function
is maintained to the greatest possible extent.
The driver is notified of the system status by an illuminated red warning lamp.
30
3.9 Brake functions
3.9.1 Setpoint detection
The braking request issued by the driver is referred to as the setpoint.

If the trailer is towed by an EBS towing vehicle with a 7-pin (ABS) plug connection
according to ISO 7638, the TEBS E gets the nominal value from the EBS vehicle
via the trailer interface (CAN).
If no nominal value is available from the trailer interface, e.g. in the case of the
trailer vehicle being operated behind a conventionally braked towing vehicle with 5-
pin plug (ABS-) device or when the trailer interface (CAN) in EBS tractor-trailer
combinations is interrupted, the desired value is generated by measuring the con-
trol pressure in the TEBS E or by using an optionally installed external setpoint
pressure sensor.
To enable the pressure in the trailer vehicle to build up as quickly as possible, the
nominal value received via CAN (ISO 7638, pin 6 and 7) is always prioritised for
control purposes.
With a supply voltage < 16 V, the towing vehicle messages for opera-
tion are no longer used, i.e. no control via the CAN setpoint.
A parameter can be set to define whether the CAN setpoint will not be
evaluated with a supply voltage of < 16 V or will be evaluated within a
supply voltage range of 8 to 32 V. This way, towing vehicles with 12 V
supply voltage and 12 V CAN data can be used see chapter 7.1 "Pa-
rameter definition with TEBS E Diagnostic Software", page 125 =>
Window TEBS - ABS/RSS => Support 12 V CAN Bus.
When the control pressure of 0.3 bar is exceeded, the backup valve is switched to
the supply pressure and the EBS braking action begins. During braking, the
backup valve is briefly switched back to the control line and checked using the in-
tegrated actual value pressure sensors to establish whether pneumatic pressure is
present there.
3.9.1.1 External setpoint pressure sensor
Application
All trailer vehicles
Purpose
Meeting the defned timing behaviour according to ECE R 13 Annex 6 even on
long vehicles without complicated valve mechanisms.
Improvement on timing for towing vehicles without EBS (no CAN signal).
Installation
In the control line on the front of the vehicle or directly on the CAN router or CAN
repeater see chapter 3.5 "Component descriptions for electro-pneumatic brake
system", page 25.

3.9.2 Automatic load-dependent brake force control (LSV)
1-circuit Axle load calculation

Application
For all suspension types.
Purpose
Trailer EBS E includes a load-dependent brake pressure control, with which the
brake pressure is adapted to the load status. Characteristic curves are stored
based on the braking calculations via the parameter definitions. Semitrailers and
drawbar trailers are controlled differently.
The current loading condition is determined by sensing the air-suspension bellows
pressure, the hydraulic pressure, by evaluating the compression travel with me-
chanical suspension or derived from the rotational speed differentials of the wheel
speeds in two axles sensed with rotational speed.
2-circuit Axle load calculation (right/left)
Application
Trailer vehicles with separate hydraulic suspension or air suspension per side.
Purpose
This function enables the creation of a right-left average value of the axle loads.
This improves the braking behaviour of the trailer (more precise determination of
the actual load status). An additional axle load sensor is installed on the main axle
c-d, which must be set in the TEBS E Diagnostic Software as External axle load
sensor c-d, see chapter 7.1 "Parameter definition with TEBS E Diagnostic Soft-
ware", page 125 => Window TEBS - function selection => Button Display special
functions.
Determining the axle loads

The axle load of main axle c-d can be determined with the following options:
Measuring the bellows pressure with a pressure sensor integrated in the modu-
lator with air-suspension vehicles.
Measuring the bellows pressure using an external pressure sensor for
air/hydraulically suspended vehicles.
Measuring the compression travel with a distance sensor for mechanically sus-
pended vehicles
The axle load of additional axle e-f can be determined with the following options:
Measuring the bellows pressure using an external pressure sensor for
air/hydraulically suspended vehicles.
32
Measuring the compression travel with a distance sensor for mechanically sus-
pended vehicles
Determining the axle load via slip detection in 4S/3M systems
Safety function "Vehicle on buffer"

If the bellows pressure is less than 0.15 bar or is 50 % of the defined empty bellows
pressure, the LSV characteristic "Laden" is actuated, since the vehicle frame is
probably on the buffer of the axle and therefore no reliable inference to the load
status exists.
Parameter settings for LSV characteristic curve

In window TEBS - LSV (see chapter 7.1 "Parameter definition with TEBS E Diag-
nostic Software", page 125), the values of the control pressures and the axle loads
from the brake calculation and the determined bellows pressures must be entered.
Normally, a linear characteristic curve shows the dependency between control
pressure and brake pressure. In addition, if desired, a fourth characteristic curve
coordinate can be defined with parameters.
By default, three values are preset:
Application range Wear range Transition range Stability range
Pressure at the yellow coupling head

p 0.7 bar 0,7 bar < p 2.0 bar 2,0 bar < p 4.5 bar 4,5 bar < p 6.5 bar
(Control pressure or setpoint)
Calculated deceleration of the vehicle 0% at 2 bar: 11,3 % at 4.5 bar: 38 % at 6.5 bar: 55 %
The braking pressure level control is adapted proportionally to the measured vehi-
cle load.
The aim is to achieve a deceleration of 55 % during all loading conditions and
when the pressure at the yellow hose coupling (control pressure or setpoint) is
6.5 bar.
Characteristic curve for semitrailers
The transmission function Brake pressure PB to setpoint (control pressure) for

semitrailer is split into two areas:
Legend
A Application range B Stability range
33
In this example, the control pressure increases in the application range from 0 bar
to 0.7 bar. With this control pressure, the brake pressure increases from 0 to 0.4
bar.
At 0.7 bar, the response pressure in the wheel brake is reached and therefore the
vehicle can start to build up braking force from that point on. This point, i.e. the re-
sponse pressure for the overall trailer brake, can be defined in the parameters
within EC braking bands (the braking band specifies the range within which braking
must occurs at a certain pressure).
As the sequence continues, the brake pressure follows a straight-line characteristic
when the vehicle is laden. This line takes it through the calculated value at 6.5 bar.
When the vehicle is unladen, the response pressure is also applied at 0.7 bar. Af-
terwards, the braking pressure is reduced relative to the load.
Characteristic curve for drawbar trailers
The transmission function for drawbar trailers is divided into four ranges:
Legend
A Application range B Wear range C Stability range
The response pressures of the brakes are once again output at the limit of the ap-
plication range. These pressures may also differ from one axle to another. In the
partial braking range pressures are delivered for optimum wear.
In a drawbar trailer with type 24 cylinders on the front axle and type 20 cylinders on
the rear axle, for example, the pressure at the front axle is slightly reduced and that
at the rear axle is slightly increased in accordance with the configuration. This en-
sures that the load is distributed evenly between all wheel brakes and is more ex-
act than the function of the adapter valve used with conventional braking systems.
In the stability range, the pressures are output in such a way as to ensure the
same adhesion utilisation (possible adhesion utilisation) as a function of the axle
load.
Pressure sensor for hydraulic suspension

The pressure sensor has to be selected based on the pressures that occur. The
signal output must be linear between 0.5 and 4.5 V.
Hydraulic Pressure: 0 bar = 0.5 V
Maximum system pressure
34
For example:
Hydraulic bellows pressure "unladen" = 50 bar
Hydraulic bellows pressure "laden" = 125 bar
The pressure input for the parameter TEBS LSV "laden" and "unladen" is sought
after.
Default:
Search for hydraulic pressure sensor, which corresponds with the measuring range
from 125 bar.
Technical data for the implementation of a hydraulic pressure sensor:
Pressure sensor "hydraulic":
0 to 250 bar => 0.5 to 4.5 V
WABCO standard EBS pressure sensor "pneumatic" as comparison value:
0 to 10 bar => 0.5 to 4.5 V
The parameter values for TEBS E are calculated as follows:
Range of measurement 250 bar: WABCO standard EBS pressure sensor 10 bar =
25 bar
Parameter value for bellows pressure "laden" => 125 bar / 250 bar * 10 bar = 5 bar
Parameter value for bellows pressure "unladen" =>50 bar / 250 bar *
10 bar = 2 bar
Input:
The entries are made via TEBS E Diagnostic Software see chapter 7.1 "Parameter
definition with TEBS E Diagnostic Software", page 125 => Window TEBS - LSV.
3.9.2.1 Mechanical suspension
Application
Vehicle with leaf spring suspension (mechanical suspension).
Only for Premium Modulator.
Purpose
Axle load determination via spring travel.
Function
The axle load information for the LSV function is derived from the compression
travel of the axle combination. ECAS distance sensors are used for this purpose. In
this particular case of application the sensor delivers a signal that is proportional to
the suspension travel and therefore the current axle load.

Calibration
Information on calibrating see chapter 7.4.1 "Calibration on vehicles with mechani-
cal suspension", page 142.
3.9.3 Pressure control
The pressure control circuits take the setpoint pressures specified by the LSV func-
tion and convert them into cylinder pressures.
The TEBS E modulator takes the actual value pressures measured at the output of
the relay valves and compares them with the setpoint pressure specification.
If there is a discrepancy, this is compensated for by actuating the inlet or exhaust
solenoids of the modulator or the 3rd modulator.
If the measured supply pressure exceeds 10 bar, pressure control and ABS control
is deactivated and braking is done via the backup alone.
In accordance with the EC- and ECE guidelines, a maximum of 8.5 bar supply
pressure is permitted in the trailer.
Pneumatic advance and Advance via CAN

For fine-tuning and harmonizing of brake pad wear, an advance can be defined.
The values for the pneumatic advance and CAN advance can vary.
The settings for these values can be made with the TEBS E Diagnostic Soft-
ware see chapter 7.1 "Parameter definition with TEBS E Diagnostic Software",
page 125 => Window TEBS - LSV.
3.9.4 Overload protection
Application
All vehicles with spring-chamber cylinder.
Purpose
For the protection of the wheel brake from overload (added force) when service
and spring chamber brake are actuated simultaneously,
Components
The overload protection valve is already integrated in the PEM. If there is no PEM
available, the overload protection must be ensured with a separate overload pro-
tection valve.
36
TEBS E modulator with overload protection valve (without PEM)

3.9.5 Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
Application
Purpose
Prevents locking one or more wheels.
Function
The control logic determines from the wheel rotation speed whether one wheel or
more wheels can be locked and decides whether to decrease, maintain, or in-
crease the braking pressure on it.
ABS rotational-speed sensors

Only the signals from ABS rotational-speed sensors c-d and e-f are evaluated for
the ABS control logic.
In all ABS configurations (see chapter 3.4 "ABS configuration", page 22) additional
brake cylinders for other axles can be connected to the existing modulators beside
the brake cylinders of the sensed wheels. These indirectly controlled wheels do not
send any information to the TEBS E. As a result, it is not possible to guarantee that
these wheels will not lock.
Semitrailers, central axle trailers and dolly

The main axle, which is not to be a lift-, steering- or tag axle, always has the ABS
rotational-speed sensors c-d. The ABS rotational-speed sensors e-f are fitted on
the other axle or on the axles of the semitrailer that can be lifted.
37
Drawbar trailer
The sensed axles are neither to be a lift- or tag-axle with ABS rotational-speed
sensors c-d or with ABS rotational-speed sensors e-f. The ABS rotational-speed
sensors c-d are always to be put on the modulator side. In this case the modulator
can either be installed at the front, on the drawbar or at the rear.
The status of the lift axles is understood by the ABS control logic. This means that
lifting sensed axles no longer causes speeds to decrease with the ABS control. If
the lift axle is raised, speed information of this axle is not considered in the control.
Parameter definition for tyre sizes

For optimum function of the ABS control logic it is necessary to parameterize the
installed tyre dimensions see chapter 7.1 "Parameter definition with TEBS E Diag-
nostic Software", page 125 => Window TEBS - ABS/RSS.
A deviation to the defined tyre dimensions by +15 % / -20 % is permissible if this
affects all sensed wheels are affected to the same extent. An individual wheel may
only deviate to the parameterised tyre dimension by a maximum of 6.5 %.
3.9.6 Roll Stability Support (RSS)
Trailers of class O4 with up to 3 axles, which are certified as of July 2010 must be
equipped with a stabilisation function. RSS is mandatory as of July 2011 when cer-
tifying a vehicle for the first time. With WABCO RSS, all legal requirements con-
cerning safety and traffic are met.
Application
Semitrailer / Drawbar trailer
Purpose
Roll Stability Support is a function integrated into the EBS, which introduces the
braking procedure as a preventative measure when there is a danger of tipping to
stabilize the vehicle.
Function
The RSS function uses the input values of the Trailer EBS E, such as wheel
speeds, loading information, and target deceleration, as well as an lateral accelera-
tion sensor that is integrated into the TEBS E Modulator.
For this purpose, test pressure activations are performed for restricted periods at
low pressure if the calculated transverse acceleration critical for tilting is exceeded
in the trailer. The duration and magnitude of the pressure depend on the lateral ac-
celeration sequence.
The risk of overturning is detected on the basis of the wheel reaction of wheels
braked during a test. If a danger of tilting is detected, braking action at high pres-
sure is initiated in the trailer vehicle at least on the individually controlled (IR) out-
side wheels in order to reduce the vehicle speed, lateral acceleration, and there-
fore the danger of tilting or to prevent overturning. The brake pressure for the
wheels on the inside of the curve is largely unchanged. As soon as there is no
danger of tipping, the RSS braking is ended.
On an axle with a modified axle control (MAR), depending on the system it may not
be possible to control the braking pressure differently for "right/left". In this case,
Select-High control is actuated when a danger of tipping is detected.
38
RSS-control is started in the unbraked or partially braked driving condition. The
RSS control is deactivated if the driver brakes heavily enough (deceleration above
the level of RSS deceleration).
If the driver defines a pneumatic or electrical braking setpoint for the trailer while an
RSS control is taking place, and this is higher than the RSS control, the RSS con-
trol is interrupted and the respective setpoint is used for the braking procedure.
The type of pressure control for the wheels on axle e-f depends on the vehicle type
and the ABS system configuration:
Vehicle type and ABS system configuration Comment
Semitrailer with trailing steering axles with 4S/3M, The MAR axle generally brakes with lower or equal pressure to
4S/2M+1M or 2S/2M+SLV ABS control (for the corner stability of adhesion-steered axles).
Drawbar trailer with 4S/3M During the RSS control, the behaviour of the wheel on the in-
Semitrailer without trailing steering axle or central side of the wheel is not considered in the ABS logic.
axle trailer with 4S/3M or 4S/2M+1M As long as the inside wheel of the MAR axle does not yet lift,
the MAR axle will be braked with low pressure in order to avoid
tyre flat spots.
If the inside wheel of the MAR axle lifts, i.e. indicates a ten-
dency to lock up at low pressure, the pressure increases de-
pending on the behaviour of both outside wheels.
The output pressure on the MAR axle can be reduced at the
outside wheel by ABS control requirements.

3.9.7 Standstill function
Application
Integrated function in TEBS E modulator.
Purpose
To avoid unnecessary current consumption if the vehicle is parked with the parking
brake applied and the ignition switch actuated.
Function
When the vehicle stops, braking is done via the redundancy circuit only. The elec-
tro-pneumatic pressure control is deactivated. The function is deactivated as soon
as the drive begins (v > 2.5 km/h).
39
3.9.8 Test mode
Application
Purpose
Check of the LSV characteristic curve in stationary vehicle.
Function
In this test mode, automatic load-dependent brake force control can be checked
depending on the hose coupling pressure and the current axle load or the current
bellows pressure.
The standstill function and the emergency brake function are deactivated for test
purposes.
Simulation start
Switch the ignition on with the control line depressurised (service brake system
and parking brake system of towing vehicle not actuated), to switch the elec-
tronic braking system into test mode.
The standstill function and the emergency braking function are switched on
as soon as the vehicle is driving.
As soon as the vehicle drives with a speed above 10 km/h, brake pressure
distribution occurs, in the case of drawbar vehicles, in accordance with slip
criteria or in accordance with the two measured bellows pressures.
Simulation vehicle laden

By depressurising the support bellows < 0.15 bar or lowering onto the buffer, the
"Laden" status can be simulated when the vehicle is unladen. Corresponding with
the safety function "Vehicle on buffer", the full brake pressures are produced.
Mechanical suspension: Unhook the linkage for the distance sensor and turn the
lever to the position that corresponds with the spring-deflected vehicle.
Simulation by diagnosis
With the TEBS E Diagnostic Software, you can simulate this safety function via the
menu Control see chapter 7.1 "Parameter definition with TEBS E Diagnostic Soft-
ware", page 125, Window TEBS-E Diagnostic Software.
3.9.9 Reservoir pressure monitoring
Application
Purpose
Monitoring the supply pressure by TEBS E.
Function
If the reservoir pressure drops below 4.5 bar, the driver is warned by the red and
yellow warning lights switching on.
When the braking system is being charged, the warning lights do not go out until
the supply pressure rises above 4.5 bar.
If, during a drive, the supply pressure drops below 4.5 bar, this is also stored as a
message in the diagnostic memory.
40
3.9.10 Emergency brake function
Application
Purpose
Applying the maximum possible brake force.
Function
If the braking wish of the driver (electrical or pneumatic) is greater than 90 % of the
available supply pressure or > 6.4 bar, i.e. panic braking is evident, a steady in-
crease of braking pressure is applied up to the characteristic curve of the laden ve-
hicle and up to the possible intervention of ABS control.
The emergency braking function is deactivated again once the braking wish drops
below 70 % of the available supply pressure.
3.10 ECU-internal functions
3.10.1 Mileage counter
The Trailer EBS E is equipped with an integrated mileage counter which measures
the distance (in km) covered during operation. The precision is determined with the
tyre size relative to the defined tyre size.
The mileage counter requires operating voltage. If the Trailer EBS E is not supplied
with voltage, the mileage counter does not work either and is therefore not secure
against tampering.
If a SmartBoard is installed, the distance travelled is also recorded here - inde-
pendently of the TEBS E. This mileage counter keeps working even when the
TEBS E is not supplied with voltage.
Since the mileage counter in TEBS E counts the average values of all wheels,
whereby the mileage counter in the SmartBoard counts distance on wheel sensor c,
different tyre circumferences (tyre wear) can cause the mileage counters to vary.
No Y-cable is necessary for connecting the SmartBoards, since the connection is
already integrated into the SmartBoard cable.
The following individual functions are possible:
Total mileage counter

The total mileage counter records the entire distance covered (in km) since initial
installation of the TEBS E system. This value is stored regularly and can be read
out using various devices (PC, SmartBoard).
Daily mileage counter

The trip mileage counter can determine the distance travelled between two service
intervals or within a specific time span.
Reading and deleting the daily mileage counter is possible e.g. with the TEBS E
Diagnostic Software or the SmartBoard.
No special calibration of the trip mileage counter is necessary. A calibration factor
is calculated on the basis of the tyre tread circumferences and the number of teeth
of the pole wheel from the EBS parameters. Accuracies of 1 to 3 % can be
achieved.
41
3.10.2 Service signal
The service signal is there to remind the driver that service work is due to be per-
formed.
In the condition as the TEBS E modulator is supplied, the service signal is not ac-
tive. The function must be activated in the TEBS E Diagnostic Software see chap-
ter 7.1 "Parameter definition with TEBS E Diagnostic Software", page 125 => Win-
dow TEBS-E Diagnostic Software => Extras => Service interval.
When the vehicle has covered a defined distance (e.g. 100,000 km), the warning
lamp will be activated to show 8 flashes when the ignition is switched on again
(while stationary or while driving). The flashing is repeated each time the ignition is
actuated. Additionally the service message is stored in the Operating Data Re-
corder integrated in the ECU.
If the service work has been completed successfully, the service signal should be
reset via the TEBS E Diagnostic Software (Tools => Service interval). If the vehicle
reaches the next defined service interval (e.g. 200,000 km), the service signal is
generated again.
3.10.3 Operating hours meter
The operating hours meter requires service voltage and functions only with a
power supply, therefore switch on the ignition or via the brake light supply for brak-
ing. If the Trailer EBS E is not supplied with voltage, the operating hours counter
does not work either and is therefore not secure against tampering.
The operating time for the trailer can be read by the TEBS E Diagnostic Soft-
page 125 => Window TEBS-E Diagnostic Software => ECU DATA.
3.10.4 Axle load output
Axle loads (based on the LSV values) can be output via the CAN interface to the
towing vehicle or via subsystems to the SmartBoard.
In the case of vehicles with mechanical suspension however, the accuracy is re-
stricted by the construction.
Output of the axle load does not occur and is not stored in the operating data re-
corder (ODR) if the following conditions apply:
Drawbar trailer with only one axle load sensor on the axle c-d.
The additional axle load sensor can be installed on axle e-f to output the axle
load in this case.
Vehicles with lifting axles that are not controlled by TEBS E (mechanical, TCE
or external ECAS).
On semitrailers with tag axle and without additional pressure sensor.
If a lift axle is defined in the TEBS E Diagnostic Software, but is not controlled
by the internal lift axle control, no axle load is output.
An additional axle load sensor can be installed on drawbar trailers with 4S/3M and
semitrailers with 4S/2M+1M and 4S/3M to increase the quality of the measure-
ment see chapter 4.8 "External axle load sensor", page 65. Without additional axle
load sensors, the individual axle load is distributed evenly over all axles.
Parameter setting
In order to enable the correct axle load output based on the towing vehicle being
used, the transmission of individual message content for axle load can be deacti-
42
vated in the TEBS E Diagnostic Software with a special parameter definition CAN
messages ISO 11992 see chapter 7.1 "Parameter definition with TEBS E Diagnos-
tic Software", page 125 => Window TEBS E - ABS/RSS => EBS22 no output of to-
tal axle load or RGE22 no output for single axle loads.
Fine calibration
In order to attain higher precision of the axle load output, a calibration of the output
can be performed with the SmartBoard. This requires an additional characteristic
curve based on the weights of an unladen, partially laden and fully laden vehicle. A
detailed description can be found in the SmartBoard system description.

Application
Purpose
Manual saving and display of vehicle data or TEBS E data, such as e.g. listing the
installed components or data on the service history of the vehicle.
The data is stored in table format in the memory of the TEBS E. In total, the stor-
age space based on the number of characters takes up approximately one letter
sized page, which can be divided into a maximum of 10 columns. The number of
available lines is limited by the number of text characters.

3.10.6 Operating data recorder (ODR)
Purpose
Saving various data to document vehicle operation and enabling inference on the
driving behaviour.
This operating data can be evaluated directly on the vehicle using the PC analysis
tool "ODR-Tracker".
The operating data recorder is split into "Historical data" (trip recorder, histogram)
and the "event recorder", which is explained further below.
It is possible to protect against deleting the ODR data with a password defined by
the user. The password can be assigned by the TEBS E Diagnostic Software see
chapter 7.1 "Parameter definition with TEBS E Diagnostic Software", page 125 =>
Window TEBS-E Diagnostic Software => ODR => Password management.
Historical data
The historical data is stored as sums or mean values over the unit's service life or
starting from the last time the Operating Data Recorder (ODR) was erased.
Historical data are:
Operating hours
Number of trips
Average load
Overload counter (trips)
Average braking pressure

GIO Functions TEBS E2 4
4 GIO Functions
This chapter describes functions that can be created using the GIO interfaces of
the TEBS modulator and other components. Normally, a Premium modulator is re-
quired for these functions (see following table "Overview of GIO functions").
Introduction to GIO
GIO means Generic Input/Output and designates programmable inputs and out-
puts. The Standard variant of the Trailer EBS E Modulator has 4 GIO slots, the
Premium variant has 7 GIO slots. With GIO-functions, it is possible to activate vari-
ous additional functions in the trailer modulator.
More GIO slots are made available via the electronic expansion
module ELEX (see chapter 5.1 "Electronic expansion module (ELEX)",
page 89) to enable the connection of additional components.
The standard functions are allocated with the TEBS E Diagnostic Software. Some
functions have multiple uses (e.g. Integrated lift axle control, speed switch ISS,
permanent positive voltage).
The parameter settings can be used to assign different functions to the GIO slots.
The parameter settings can also be used to choose whether outputs should be
monitored for line breaks for safety reasons.
All GIO slots have at least one switching output (power stage) and one ground con-
tact. The other two pins are variably assigned. The implication is that not all func-
tions can be realised on all slots to the same extent see chapter 10.2 "Pin assign-
ment", page 166. The maximum load for all GIO switching outputs is 1.5 A.
GIO functions are available if the power to the system is sufficient and fault-free.
GIO power stage

The GIO power stage can be used to switch electrical loads (e.g. solenoid valves,
lamps) or to detect the switching condition to ground of a switch.
The GIO power stages can also be used as inputs. In this case, whether a switch is
open or connected to ground can be sensed. If the switch is switched to positive, a
fault is detected when the switch is closed.
GIO analogue input

The GIO analogue input can be used to read in analogue signals (e.g. from pres-
sure sensor) or to detect signals from buttons.
The sensors are supplied with voltage by the GIO power stage.
GIO distance sensor input

ECAS distance sensors can be connected to the GIO distance sensor inputs as
height sensor in a level control system or in the case of mechanically suspended
vehicles for sensing the compression travel as a means to determine the axle load.

4.1 Lift axle controller
Application
Trailer vehicle with one lift axle or multiple lift axles.
Lift axle control in drawbar trailer

With 3-axle drawbar trailer, it is possible to have axle 2 or 3 as a lift axle. If the
TEBS Modulator is installed on the front axle of the vehicle, the rear axle, which
remains on the ground must be monitored with an external pressure sensor.
Purpose
Control of the lift axles by TEBS E depending on the current axle load and the cur-
rent load status.
Function
The driving speed, at which lifting the lift axle(s) is permitted, can be defined be-
tween 0 and 30 km/h.
The sequence for lifting the axles can be set in the parameter definition (see chap-
ter 7.1 "Parameter definition with TEBS E Diagnostic Software", page 125 => Win-
dow TEBS - GIO parameter 1 => Automatic lift axle control). Parameters are set for
the pressure applied for lifting and lowering the lifting axle. The 1st lifting axle is
always lifted first and then the second lifting axle.
The TEBS E Diagnostic Software provides intelligent bellows pressure values for
the lift axle control. These suggestions can however be adapted by the user for
special vehicles (e.g. 3-axle drawbar trailer with forklift transport).
The position of the lifting axles is transmitted to the "Towing vehicle" CAN interface
and can be displayed there on the instrument panel provided the required equip-
ment is installed.
The bellows and supply pressure are checked as of TEBS E1. The lift
axle is no longer raised if the vehicle has been lowered to the buffer or
the supply pressure is too low (< 6.5 bar).
A new plausibility check for the lift axles is also integrated when lifting
or lowering to prevent a so-called Jo-Jo-Effect. This Jo-Jo-Effect al-
ways occurs if the pressure difference between lifting/lowering pres-
sure is < 1.0 bar.
This pressure difference is checked with the entry in the TEBS E1
Diagnostic Software and an appropriate notice is provided when enter-
ing the parameter.
If the ISO 7638 voltage supply does not exist while the towing vehicle
is driving and therefore the ECU is supplied only via the 24N stop light
supply, there is no lift axle control.
Only if ISO 7638 voltage supply is guaranteed and v = 0 km/h, will the
lift axle control work correctly.
Setting the behaviour of the lift axle with the ignition switched off
The conduct of the lift axle (raised or lowered) can be adjusted with the
vehicle shut down (when ignition off) in the TEBS E Diagnostic Soft-
ware and depends on the construction of the lift axle valve.
The pulse-controlled lift axle valve can actuate the lift axle lift/lower
position after switching the ignition off.
The spring-returned lift axle valve can only actuate the lift axle lowered
position after switching the ignition off.

4.2 Tag axle control with residual pressure maintenance

Application
Semitrailer with tag axles / trailing steering axles.
Semitrailer with tag axles and OptiTurnTM / OptiLoadTM-function see chapter 4.9
"Dynamic wheelbase control", page 66.
This function is not suitable for drawbar trailers. A 4S/3M or 4S/2M+1M system and
an additional axle load sensor e-f must be installed.
Purpose
When using tag axles, the bellows should not be completed depleted of air since
otherwise parts of the air bellows will rub against one another and cause damage.
52
The integrated function helps avoid tyre damage with a residual pressure mainte-
nance in the support bellows, increased tyre wear and possible damage to the bel-
lows. No further components are required for the residual pressure maintenance.
Installation
With tag axles, the wheel speed must be sensed and the braking controlled via a
separate modulator. (WABCO recommendation: Brake the tag axle using an EBS
relay valve (4S/3M).
An external axle load sensor e-f must also be installed to measure the bellows
pressures on the tag axle. To control the tag axle, a pulse controlled lift axle valve
(LACV-IC) must also be used.
The implementation of spring-returned lift axle valves is not possible.

Application
All trailer vehicles with air suspension.
Purpose
The ECAS basic function is the compensation of level changes, which e.g. occur
from changes in the load status or with new setpoint definitions (e.g. from the con-
trol unit). These control deviations cause the distance between the vehicle's axle
and its superstructure to change. ECAS balances these control deviations by
means of levelling control.
Operating principle of the ECAS base system

A distance sensor is mounted on the vehicle body and is connected to its axle via a
lever system. The distance sensor picks up the distance between the axle and the
vehicle body / body. The intervals depend on the vehicle's operating time (driving
or loading operation).
This measured value is used as the actual value in the control loop and is sent to
the electronic control unit. The ECU compares this actual value to the nominal
value predefined in the ECU.
In the event of a difference between the actual value and the setpoint value (con-
trol deviation), the ECAS solenoid valve receives an actuating signal. Depending
on the type of actuating signal received, the ECAS solenoid valve now increases or
decreases the air pressure in the supporting bellows. The change in pressure in
the supporting bellows alters the distance between the axle and the vehicle body.
The new distance is also picked up by the distance sensor, and the cycle begins
again.
There are two controls for height change with the electronic levelling control
(ECAS).

4.3.1 Nominal level control
Nominal level
The nominal level is the reference value for the distance between vehicle body and
vehicle axle. This nominal level is defined by calibration, by setting parameters or
by the driver (e.g. via the SmartBoard).
Function
The actuator is a solenoid valve, which by increasing and decreasing the pressure
in the supporting bellows bringing the actual level into line with the nominal level.
This occurs if there are:
Control deviations exceeding a tolerance range (e.g. with changes in weight)
Change to the specified value for the nominal level (e.g. by selecting a memory
level)
Unlike conventional air suspension systems, ECAS controls not only the driving
level but also any other predefined level. Therefore a level which is set for loading
or unloading processes is assumed to be the nominal level.
56
In other words, If the loading condition changes, the vehicle remains at the set
level, whereas in vehicles with conventional air suspension this level must be ad-
justed manually or the vehicle body lowers when laden and raises when unladen.
If the power supply is interrupted or if the air supply is insufficient, e.g. when the ig-
nition is switched off, no further nominal level control occurs when the ignition is
switched of.
Parameter After ignition, the actual level is the same as the nominal level (see
Window TEBS - GIO parameter 2 => Button Extended ECAS parameter => Other
functions) ensures that a level that changes while the ignition is switched off (e.g.
with a loss of air, weight change) is automatically set as the new actual level when
the ignition is switched on. This causes the suppression of sudden adjustments.
By using the speed signal the electronic levelling control system differentiates be-
tween static and dynamic changes in the load, unlike conventional air suspension
systems. A level change is adjusted with a delay while driving. If the vehicle e.g.
also adjusted while compressing on washboard sections, was subjected to an un-
necessary compressed air consumption otherwise.
Static wheel load change Dynamic wheel load change
Application At load change Dynamic wheel load changes are caused by road
At standstill irregularities at higher speeds.
At low vehicle speeds The wheel load changes on an uphill or downhill

stretch, which affects the control performance.
Control Checks the actual value and corrects if necessary by Dynamic wheel load changes are usually balanced by
functions adding or removing air at the respective air suspension the compliance behaviour of the supporting bellows. In

fuel consumption. For this reason, the regulation is
checked at larger intervals when the vehicle is moving
at higher speed - usually every 60 seconds. The com-
parison of actual value to the nominal value is made

Comment Parameters can be defined for the static control time Because not every unevenness on the road is com-

less air is consumed by the electronic air suspension
than by conventional levelling control systems with air-
suspension valve.
4.3.2 Driving level
Driving level I (Normal level)

Driving level I (normal level) refers to the nominal level defined by the vehicle
manufacturer for driving under optimal conditions (optimum body height). It has a
special meaning compared to other driving levels.
Driving level I is defined by the overall vehicle height, which is bound by legal
guidelines and the height of the vehicle centre of gravity that is especially important
for driving dynamics.
Driving normal level is described as the basic design parameter for the vehicle.
57
Driving level II
Driving level II is defined as the difference to driving level I (normal level). If driving
level II is lower than driving level I, this value must be entered as a negative in the
TEBS E Diagnostic Software see chapter 7.1 "Parameter definition with TEBS E
Diagnostic Software", page 125 => Window TEBS - GIO parameter 2 => Height
control.
Application
If the semi trailer is operated behind different towing vehicles (with different plat-
form heights) the body can be set level.
Driving level III

Driving level III is a driving level like driving level II but it corresponds with the
maximum body height and is therefore the highest driving level.
Driving level III could only be selected by the speed previously. As of

TEBS E2, the selection is now possible by the ECAS control unit as
well.
Application
Used for adjusting the trailer to various platform heights.
For fuel saving (e.g. at higher speed).
For lowering the vehicle centre of gravity to achieve more lateral stability.
Lowering the superstructure depending on the vehicle's speed, is based on the as-
sumption that higher speeds are achieved on sound road surfaces which do not
require the whole of the bellows' spring stroke to be utilised.
Driving level IV
Whether the unloading level or driving level IV should be used is se-

lected by parameter definition see chapter 7.1 "Parameter definition
with TEBS E Diagnostic Software", page 125 => Window TEBS - func-
tion selection.
Application
As additional driving level.
Unloading level
The unloading level is only actuated at a standstill or at low speed for easier
unloading of the vehicle. When the speed is achieved, the last saved level is read-
justed automatically.
Application
Lower a tipper vehicle to prevent hard rebounds because of a sudden release
(dumping the load).
Moving road tankers automatically into the best unloading position.
Improving stability.
Unloading level switch

For example: The switch is attached on a tipping body, the vehicle will then lower
automatically into a defined level, as soon as the body is tipped. Ideally this value
corresponds to the buffer or lower calibration level. This avoids overloading the
axle combination during sudden unloading.
This function is automatically deactivated v > 10 km/h.
58
If the parameterised unloading level is outside the parameterised lower or upper
level, the stroke is restricted to this level.
An unloading level is only realised between the upper and lower calibration level -
even when the parameter settings specify a value outside this range.
The unloading level can be switched off at times with the SmartBoard,
e.g. for operating before road finishers.
Parameter for unloading level

There are 2 parameters for the unloading level in the TEBS E Diag-
nostic Software:
Lowering the body to the buffer
Lowering the body to the lowest calibrated level
These parameters also apply for actuating this function via the Smart-
Board or the ECAS control box.
A speed-dependent parameter was created for the unloading level in
the TEBS E Diagnostic Software. This means that the unloading level
as well as the driving level IV (normal level IV) can be used. It is also
possible to run switch inputs for driving level I, driving level II or driving
level IV independent of one another.
Memory level
Unlike the unloading level, which is defined in the ECU, the memory level can be
defined and changed by the driver any time. Once defined, the system will store
any memory level until it is changed by the user, i.e. even when the ignition has
been switched off. The memory level applies to the whole of the vehicle.
For each system two different memory levels can be used. An ECAS remote con-
trol unit or the SmartBoard is required to request the memory function.
Application
Repeating loading operation on a ramp with height defined one time.
4.3.3 Green warning lamp
Application
All trailer vehicles with ECAS.
Assembly on the trailer vehicle into the drivers field of vision (above rear mirror).
Purpose
Light switched off: The vehicle is within the driving level and no messages exist.
Light switched on: The vehicle is outside the driving level.
Move the vehicle into driving level if necessary. The selected driving level is the
reference level.
Status display of ECAS function "Flashing": An ECAS message exists.
Read the diagnostic memory with TEBS E Diagnostic Software and rectify the
fault.
Installation
Connect a green warning light (LED or bulb) in a free GIO slot (GIO1-7) to use
the function.
59
Activating the function / selecting the warning light

In menu item Extended ECAS parameter, the function can be activated and the pa-
rameters can be defined see chapter 7.1 "Parameter definition with TEBS E Diag-
nostic Software", page 125 => Window TEBS - GIO parameter 2.
Activate the function by clicking on Warning light installed. With an LED, click on
parameter as LED (no cable break detection).
Set parameter Behaviour in case of faults, to define the warning light signal that
will be used to indicate a fault. If faults exist, the type of fault can be shown via
the TEBS E Diagnostic Software or via the SmartBoard.

4.3.4 Deactivation of the automatic level control
Application
All trailer vehicles with (TEBS E internal) ECAS.
Purpose
Deactivation of the automatic level control, e.g. while loading or unloading to re-
duce the air consumption on the ramp.
Connect a switch to a free GIO connection (GIO1-7) or a SmartBoard to the
GIO connection "Subsytems".
Switch option setting

Define the parameters for the switch in the function selection (GIO1-7).
The level control can only be deactivated while stationary (< 3 km/h).
As soon as a speed is detected (> 5 km/h), the automatic level control is deacti-
vated again.
In order to reactivate this function, actuate the switch while at a standstill again.
With this function, all lift axle functions, such as e.g. automatic lifting axle control,
traction help, OptiTurnTM etc. are ended and all lift axles are lowered. The lift axle
functions remain switched off, even if the vehicle is moving again and the automatic
level control is reactivated, until the basic parameters for activating the lift axle
function are achieved again.

4.4 Speed switches (ISS 1 and ISS 2)
Application
Purpose
By means of the two integrated speed switches ISS 1 and ISS 2 it is possible to
control two functions in the trailer, independently of one another.
Function
The switching condition of the output changes if the vehicle drives faster than or
slower than a speed limit set in the parameters. Consequently it is possible to
switch on and off solenoid valves dependent on the speed.
A typical application example is locking steering axles (see chapter 4.18 "Steering
axle lock", page 79) or actuating the TASC with a pulse when exceeding the speed.
The two speed limits at which the switching condition of the output changes can be
set in the parameters anywhere between 0 and 120 km/h. A minimum switching
hysteresis of 2 km/h must be observed.
The switching output is switched off below the speed limit set in the parameters.
When achieving the limit, the output is switched on and a voltage of +24 V is output.
The shifting function can also be inverted by defining a parameter so that +24V is
applied in neutral position.
In the case of solenoid valves which are not high-endurance, a 30 second pulse
can be triggered if the parameterised speed limit is exceeded (e.g. pulse-controlled
gate valve). In the event of a fault, make sure that the apparatus controlled from
the switch-output does not remain in a state that will affect the safety of driving the
vehicle.
For example, a steering axle should be locked if there is an electrical power supply
failure since that represents the safe condition.

4.5 RSS active signal

The Trailer EBS E Modulator is equipped with the RSS function. While the RSS
function is active and there is an active RSS intervention the brake lights of the ve-
hicle are not actuated actively.
61
A signal is sent to the towing vehicle via the CAN data connection and
the brake light is requested. Depending of the construction of the tow-
ing vehicle, the actuation of the brake lights is supported.
In addition, the RSS active signal also makes it possible to actuate the brake lights
when the RSS function is active by the TEBS E. For this purpose it is necessary to
parameterize this output via the GIO function.
Control may be realised via a relay. The supply voltage for the brake lamps must
come from the 15-pin plug connection (ECE regulation).

4.7 Traction help

Application
All air suspended trailer vehicles with lift axle or tag axles as first axle.
Purpose
On slippery ground or on steep hills vehicles have a hard time or cannot start to
move. The drive axle of the vehicle does not have enough traction and the wheels
spin. With traction help, the 1st axle on a semitrailer can be raised or relieved of
pressure. The subsequent weight adjustment on the semitrailer coupling causes
the traction of the drive axle of the towing vehicle to increase.
When connecting a SmartBoard to the TEBS E Modulator (Subsystems) and defin-
ing the respective parameters that no switch is used, traction help conforming with
98/12/EC can be used with semitrailers with a lifting 1st axle. The value that corre-
sponds to maximum 30 % overload in accordance with the EC-guidelines must be
defined by the vehicle manufacturer.
When reaching 30 km/h, the axle is lowered again or returns to automatic mode.
Note the axle manufacturer's information for the traction help. These specifications
may restrict the max. limits of the EEC directive.
Recommended valve configurations

The following variants can be selected:
A spring-return lift axle valve (not suitable for all vehicles)
The lifting axle can be lifted as a traction help providing the permitted bellows
pressure set in the parameters is not exceeded after lifting. If the permitted
pressure is exceeded when traction help is active, traction help is cancelled and
the respective lifting axle is lowered.
62
In countries where axle loads of 3 times 9 t are permitted, traction help is can-
celled as soon as the load on the axles that remain in the ground exceeds
23.4 t. The effect of traction help is thus linked to the loading condition.
One lifting axle valve (spring-returned) and one solenoid valve for pres-
sure limiting (residual pressure maintenance)
The load is transferred off the lifting axle as a traction help, up to the level of the
permitted bellows pressure set in the parameters. Then the supporting bellows
of the lifting axle is shut off using the solenoid valve. The lifting axle is thereby
relieved for best possible traction when starting without exceeding the 30 %
overload on the other axles.
(The lift axle remains relieved at 130 % axle load on the main axle and is low-
ered again only at 30 km/h.)
This configuration permits traction help even when the vehicle is overloaded.
A pulse-controlled lift axle valve
The load is transferred off the lifting axle as a traction help, up to the level of the
permitted bellows pressure set in the parameters. Then the support and lifting
bellows of the lifting axle are shut off. Therefore, relieving the lifting may also be
performed in order not to exceed the permissible 30 % overload.
(The lift axle remains relieved at 130 % axle load on the main axle and is low-
ered again only at 30 km/h.)
This arrangement makes sense in countries with a permissible axle load of 9 t.
Activation of traction help

ISO 7638: Actuation via the CAN interface "Towing vehicle" from tow vehicle.
SmartBoard: Activation via the control menu of the SmartBoard.
Trailer Remote Control: Activation via button "Traction help" see chapter 8.2
"Operation with Trailer Remote Control", page 147.
Brake actuation: By activating this parameter, the traction help can be acti-
vated or deactivated by actuating the brake 3 times, at a standstill (between the
three brake actuations, the pressure must drop below 0.4 bar). The following
condition applies here: Vehicle is stationary. The brake must be actuated and
released three times with a pressure of 3 to 8 bar after a period of 10 seconds
without braking pressure.
By actuating the brake 3 more times, the traction help is deactivated again.
Forced lowering for the axles is not possible by actuating the brakes.
Example of brake actuation to activate traction help

detection see chapter 7.1 "Parameter definition with TEBS E Diagnos-
tic Software", page 125 => Window TEBS E - GIO parameter 1.

Activation: 1-time actuation of the button (less than 5 seconds).
Traction help "type Northern":

A time-dependent control of the traction help is also possible (in 1
second steps, max. 1,200 seconds).
For lift axle valve 463 084 3.. 0 the lift axle is lowered automatically
after exceeding 130 % of the axle load, after 5 seconds.
Activation: 1-time actuation of the button (less than 5 seconds).

4.8 External axle load sensor
An external axle load sensor may be used instead of the internal axle load sensor.
For axle c-d

Application
Vehicles with hydraulic suspension for example because suspension pressures of
up to 200 bar are required here (vehicles that cannot connected to the TEBS E
modulator because of too high pressures).
Purpose
The external axle load sensor may be retrofitted on the main axle should the inter-
nal sensor fail. This avoids replacing the module and a cost-efficient repair can be
performed instead.
New function: Second ext. axle load sensor c-d

With hydraulically suspended vehicles, the right and left axle load can
be detected separately by using a second pressure sensor to ensure
that the vehicle does not over- or under-brake when the load differs
from side to side, this new function Second ext. Axle load sensor c-d
makes it possible to detect an average value from both external pres-
sure sensors see chapter 7.1 "Parameter definition with TEBS E Diag-
nostic Software", page 125 => Window TEBS - function selection =>
Button Display special functions. This average value is used for de-
termining the brake pressure and for outputting the axle load.
This function is not suitable for drawbar trailers.
For axle e-f

Application
Drawbar trailer, semitrailer (only 3M) with lift axles or tag axles, OptiTurnTM / Opti-

4.9 Dynamic wheelbase control
4.9.1 Drawbar load reduction (OptiLoadTM)
Application
Semitrailers with 2 or 3 axles, rear axle as a tag axle or lifting axle.
Purpose
Avoid overloading fifth wheel and towing vehicle drive axle on semitrailers with
loads that are unevenly distributed in the direction of the towing vehicle.
Function
Lifting and relieving pressure on the rear lifting axle improves the distribution of the
load between the towing vehicle and the semitrailer thus avoiding overloading of
the rear axle of the towing vehicle. In this case, the rear axle of the semitrailer acts
as a counterweight to the load.
The function can be deactivated if relieving the towing vehicle rear axle is unrea-
sonable with an unladen vehicle or in winter operation.
Benefit
The load does not have to be distributed over the load surface.
Reduces the risk of a traffic fine due to overloading the towing vehicle.
Parameter settings OptiLoadTM

Information on parameter definition see chapter 7.1 "Parameter definition with
TEBS E Diagnostic Software", page 125 => Window TEBS - GIO parameter 1.
Activation condition selections

Automatically upon exceeding the speed (define parameters as of 0 km/h).
Only at partial-/full-load: With unladen vehicles, the function is deactivated
automatically. The ECU switches to the automatic lift axle.
Manually with button (Press manoeuvre assistance button two times); optional
via SmartBoard or Trailer Remote Control.
Deactivation condition selections

Pressure value limitation, at which the function is deactivated (under the defined
bellows pressure, the function is active).
Manually with button; optionally via SmartBoard or Trailer Remote Control.
The pressure value for the drawbar load reduction is only allowed to be maximum
100% of the bellows pressure "laden".
Control options
Permanently Automatic
The function starts independent of the driver according to the defined boundary
conditions.
If a SmartBoard is installed, the automatic function can be deactivated temporarily,
to save air for instance. The OptiLoadTM is reactivated after the ignition has been
switched off and on again (Trip function).
The Automatic function can also be switched off completely and then reactivated
again via the SmartBoard.
66
The Manoeuvre assistance button or the Trailer Remote Control (only in combina-
tion with ELEX and TEBS E2) can be used to put the Automatic function into
Forced lowering mode by pressing the button for > 5 seconds. The OptiLoadTM is
reactivated after the ignition has been switched off and on again (Trip function).
Manual control
As soon as OptiLoadTM is deactivated the systems stays in this situation until it is
reactivated via the SmartBoard or by actuating the Manoeuvre assistance button.
The SmartBoard or the Trailer Remote Control (only in combination with ELEX)
can be used as an alternative to the button. After switching the ignition off and back
on again or by switching off with the SmartBoard, Trailer Remote Control or Ma-
noeuvre assistance button, OptiLoadTM is deactivated again.
4.9.2 Manoeuvre assistance (OptiTurnTM)
Application
Semitrailers with 2 or 3 axles, rear axle as a tag axle or lifting axle.
Purpose
Increasing manoeuvrability.
Can be used as an alternative to trailing steering axle.
Function
OptiTurnTM is able to detect tight curves from the differing wheel speeds and corre-
spondingly unloads the rear axle according to the specifications of the traction help.
This causes the fulcrum of the axle unit to "migrate" from the central axle between
the two loaded axles remaining on the ground and reduces the turning circle and
improves the manoeuvrability of the whole vehicle. The load on the third axle can
be defined based on the parameter settings.
Benefit
Reduced tyre wear in tight curves.
Can save steering axle and steering axle control.
Improves manoeuvrability, even when reversing.
BO force circuit
The BO BOforce circuit specifies the maximum circle radius that is permissible by
law for trailer vehicles. The outer diameter of the circle is 25.0 m, the inner diame-
ter of the circle 10.6 m. With OptiTurnTM, the legal turning radius is easily main-
tained.

4.11 Brake lining wear indication (BVA)
Application
All trailer vehicles with disc brakes
Purpose
Wear indicators, a wire integrated into the brake lining, monitor the wear of both lin-
ings of a disc brake.
Function
Wear indicators can be connected on up to 6 brakes on the ECU. All wear indica-
tors are connected in series and are connected to the wear input. The supply volt-
age is 24 V.
1st warning level: At 95 % brake pad wear. A short-circuit occurs.
2nd warning level: If the wear indicator indicates that the wire is worn through for
the duration of at least 4 seconds (or longer),a voltage of 24 V will be measured at
the lining wear sensor and the warning will be activated. The warning lamp will
warn the driver if the end value for lining wear has been reached (100% brake pad
wear).
In the case of Power On (ignition switched on) the warning lamp lights up in 4 cy-
cles = 16 times.
The warning is interrupted when the vehicle's speed exceeds 7 km/h.
Replacing the wear indicators is automatically detected by the system when the lin-
ings are changed. Both warning levels are deactivated after 8 seconds.
The wear information is ascertained from the TCE in systems with TCE. It is the
TEBS E that warns the driver or triggers the warning lamp. This is necessary be-
cause only an ECU can execute triggering the warning lamp in the event of service
information having accumulated.
If a SmartBoard is installed, the warning will also be displayed on the SmartBoard.
Saving the data for the lining change

The last five pad changes (including mileage and operating hours when the second
warning level occurred) are stored in the ECU and can be read out via the TEBS E
Diagnostic Software.

4.12 Voltage supply from Telematics to GIO5

Application
Purpose
Voltage supply from connected systems, e.g. Telematics to GIO5.
Telematics
The Telematics unit can be connected to the SUBSYSTEMS slot or on GIO5 (only
with Premium).
(WABCO recommendation: Connect Telematics to GIO5, so that the subsystems
plug can be used e. g. for the SmartBoard or IVTM.
The TEBS E Diagnostic Software makes it possible to define a stand-by time for
charging the telematics battery (telematics connection to GIO5) after switching the
ignition off. In this case, the CAN bus is switched off or the message is sent, indi-
cating that the vehicle was switched off and only the battery is charged. The time
for charging corresponds with that for the ECAS standby operation.
4.13 Speed signal

Application
Purpose
In addition to the speed switch ISS, which only outputs switch settings, TEBS E
can provide a speed signal for evaluation by the connected systems, e.g. for con-
trolling steering axles or for closing tank covers.
Function
The TEBS E Modulator provides a speed signal in the form of a pulse-width modu-
lated rectangular signal.

4.15 Road finisher brake

Application
Tipper vehicle
Purpose
The "road finisher brake" function is used for targeted braking of tipper bodies dur-
ing operation with road finishers. In this case, the vehicle trailer is pushed by the
road finisher while tipping.
To prevent rolling back on a slope, TEBS E brakes the tipper inde-

pendently and in accordance with the load.
Function
Mechanical switches can be used for activation in operation (road finisher opera-
tion on/off) and an unloading level switch for the position of the tipper (pushbutton
or proximity switch). When using ECAS valves, tipping of the tipper body can be
detected via the unloading level switch (see chapter 4.3.2 "Driving level", page 57).
The unloading level switch can be activated or deactivated based on the cus-
tomer's wishes. An optional switch can be provided for this or a parameter or a
shut-off on the SmartBoard.
The control pressure defined in the TEBS E Diagnostic Software can be changed
manually via the SmartBoard or Trailer Remote Control. The minimum control
pressure in this case is 0.5 bar and the maximum control pressure is 6.5 bar. The
value last set via the SmartBoard or Trailer Remote Control when switching the
function off is valid again upon switching on again.
The automatic shut-off for this function occurs at speed v > 10 km/h.
Proximity switch
Proximity switches are used in technical processes for position detection of work-
pieces and as triggers for safety measures. The proximity switch works as a con-
tact-free sensor or switch.
The following sensors have also been tested as proximity switches by WABCO:

Parameters for switching off the unloading level can be defined in the TEBS E Di-
agnostic Software see chapter 7.1 "Parameter definition with TEBS E Diagnostic
Software", page 125 => Window TEBS - GIO parameter 2 => Road finisher brake.
Keep in mind: Shut off unloading level if no unloading level is desired for road
finisher operation. Requirement: The proximity switch switches the unloading level.
The unloading level switch is then dispensable.
A 2 pole proximity switch can be connected (Connection to GIO 4, pins 1 and 3,

cable 449 535 ... 0).
76
This proximity switch can be used for functions "Unloading level" and "Road fin-
isher brake". Every proximity switch has a different switching threshold concerning
the distance away from the tipping body object to be detected.
If both functions are to be active, two additional switch inputs are required so that
both functions can be switched on and off separately.
Setting the pressure definition

The pressure definition pm for braking can be set in the TEBS E Diagnostic Soft-
ware from 1 to 6.5 bar see chapter 7.1 "Parameter definition with TEBS E Diagnos-
tic Software", page 125 => Window TEBS - GIO parameter 2 => Road finisher
brake. The controlled brake pressure depends on the load, i.e. in road finisher op-
eration, the brake pressure is adapted (dynamic LSV).

4.16 Trailer Extending Control

Application
For example in the long adjustable semitrailer or drawbar trailer with 4S/3M system.
Purpose
With this function, vehicles that can be adjusted in length can be extended and re-
tracted much more comfortably for the driver and without the use of additional tools
(such as e.g. chocks or other components installed in the trailer). The last multi-
axle combination brakes and the trailer is pulled apart with the towing vehicle.
Function
The function has different modes of operation depending on the type of vehicle:
Semitrailer
77
On semitrailers, the function can be selected in combination with parameter without

load-dependent brake pressure (LSV) see chapter 7.1 "Parameter definition with
TEBS E Diagnostic Software", page 125 => Window TEBS - GIO parameter 2. If
the function is activated with a switch or the SmartBoard, the multi-axle combina-
tion brakes with full brake pressure (without LSV characteristic curve) so that the
trailer can be extended by slowly driving the towing vehicle.
Drawbar trailer
Here, the parameter Brake rear aggregate only can be selected see chapter 7.1
"Parameter definition with TEBS E Diagnostic Software", page 125 => Window
TEBS - GIO parameter 2. In this case, only the last axle (axle group) brakes so that
the towing vehicle can extend the trailer by driving slowly.

4.17 Relaxation function (Bounce Control)

Application
Purpose
During loading and unloading procedures of semitrailers, the axle assembly is
stressed if the brakes are applied on the entire unit. If the handbrake is released af-
ter the unloading process for example, the chassis can spring up suddenly be-
cause the air suspension lifts immediately with the still full air suspension bellows
and the lack of a load on the vehicle. The relaxation function prevents this sudden
jumping of the chassis and therefore protects the load.
Function
The function can be activated by button, SmartBoard or Trailer Remote Control.
78
The tension on the applied brakes is released with the actuation of the brake cylin-
der from the modulator. The brakes are released by side (for semitrailer/central
axle trailer) or by axle (for drawbar trailer) for this purpose. Braking the vehicle is
always at over 18% because the brake cylinders are released one after the other.

4.18 Steering axle lock
CAUTION Maintain the guidelines for safe operation of steering axles.

The steering axle must be locked without power.
Application
Semitrailer with steering axle
Purpose
With TEBS a steering axle can be actuated, speed-dependent or with the detection
of reverse travel by a cylinder and locked in straight travel position as well.
The steering axle can be locked depending on the speed to guarantee stable
straight travel at high speeds. The steering axle can also be locked by monitoring
the reversing lights when reversing.
Function
The cylinder is actuated via a solenoid valve. The solenoid valve is actuated by the
TEBS E modulator depending on the defined speed.
When travelling at normal speed (e.g. > 30 km/h), the steering axle is locked by the
GIO function. If the defined speed is exceeded, the GIO function release the lock
and the steering axle steers into the curve.
79
At a standstill (v < 1.8 km/h), the steering axle is locked again. This is maintained
by applying the reverse gear (with active reverse lights), to prevent jack-knifing
while reversing.
If the vehicle moves forward again, the lock is maintained up to a defined speed
(> 1.8 km/h), then released and applied again upon exceeding a second defined
speed.
With an additional parameter, you can also lock the steering axle with the lift axle
raised.

4.19 Tilt Alert

Application
Trailer vehicles with tipper body
Purpose
Monitoring the tilt angle of the vehicle.
Function
In every TEBS E modulator, a lateral acceleration sensor is integrated for the RSS
function. This lateral acceleration sensor simultaneously provides information on
the inclination of the vehicle to the body reference plane. The inclination of the ve-
hicle can be monitored by the TEBS E modulator.
If an inclination (0 - 20) of the frame, defined by the TEBS E Diagnostic Software,
is exceeded, a warning can be sent to the driver by the ECU and shown by the
SmartBoard or a horn/revolving light can be switched on.
The warning threshold must always be able to be seen depending on the specific
vehicle and must be specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
The driver is to be instructed that e.g. tipping a body is to be stopped immediately if

a warning message is received.
The function "Tilt warning" is only a supportive function and does not void the
driver's responsibility for monitoring the vehicle.

4.20 Forklift control

Application
Mainly for central axle trailer with forklift.
Purpose
Optimising the support load, if the forklift is missing as counterbalance.
Function
1. 2. 3.
Central axle trailers with attached forklift are normally constructed so that when the
forklift is attached, the weight distribution is balanced between front and back. A
respectively broadly spread support load works as a counterload to the additional
weight of the forklift (Fig. 1).
If this type of central axle trailer is travelling under a partial load, but without the
forklift and a raised lift axle, the excessive weight of the construction can lead to
extra support load on the trailer coupling since the counterweight of the forklift is
missing (Fig. 2).
With the function "Forklift control", raising the lift axle can be delayed with a par-
tially loaded vehicle without forklift so that the support load is not too great on the
coupling. The axle that remains on the ground causes the wheelbase to be short
so that the complete support load is not on the coupling, because the back of the
trailer, even without the forklift, is a more efficient counterbalance (Fig. 3).
81
Function prerequisites
Mechanical switch (pushbutton) or proximity switch for detecting the forklift.
The load on the trailer should be distributed evenly to prevent any additional influ-
ence of the support load.
Parameter setting
The Trailer EBS E uses a proximity switch or a mechanical switch to detect
whether a forklift is docked on the vehicle and automatically switches between the
two lift axle characteristic curves.
a) Characteristic curve for controlling the lift axle with attached forklift
b) Characteristic curve for controlling the lift axle with unattached forklift
Both characteristic curves are to be defined by the vehicle manufacturer based on
the desired, load-dependent time for raising the lift axle see chapter 7.1 "Parame-
ter definition with TEBS E Diagnostic Software", page 125 => Window TEBS - GIO

4.21 Brake release function

Application
Car transports for example
Purpose
Release the service brake of the trailer at a standstill.
Function
The function is activated with an external button or via the SmartBoard.
When actuating the brake release function and a simultaneous actuation of the hy-
draulic tension strut (by hydraulic cylinder), the trailer brake is released and the
length of the trailer can be changed with hydraulics for instance.
When releasing the button or the respective button of the SmartBoard, the brake is
immediately filled with air again braking the trailer vehicle.
Requirements for the brake release functions

The parking brake in the towing vehicle is actuated.
The pressure on the yellow coupling head must be greater than 6.5 bar. The
brake release function will be aborted when the pressure on the yellow coupling
head drops.
The vehicle must not roll. The brake release function will be aborted at a speed
v > 1.8 km/h.
For this function, the certificate "Brake release and relaxation function

4.22 Additional brake light (Emergency Brake Alert)

Application
Purpose
If the vehicle is in a hazardous situation and must brake abruptly, a third brake light
can be actuated. This brake light can either be illuminated permanently or flash
with an adjustable frequency while braking.
The function is automatically activated by the TEBS E modulator depending on the
following situations:
If the vehicle deceleration is greater than 0.4 g in a panic braking procedure.
If an ABS control occurs at a speed of > 50 km/h.
The function is ended again if the vehicle deceleration is under the value 0.25 g or
the ABS control is deactivated again.

This additional brake light is only activated during the panic braking procedure.
Actuation of the existing brake lights

As an alternative, an additional relay can be used to flash the existing brake light in
emergency situations.
In some towing vehicles, the function for the trailer brake lighting is monitored so
that a basic load exists in relay operation in both switching states (brake light or re-
sistance), so that no error is detected from the towing vehicle.
The GIO output is allowed to be loaded to maximum 1.5 A.
83
Setting the actuation method / flashing frequency

Under Emergency brake light output, select the actuation method Actuation
permanent or Actuation periodic in the TEBS E Diagnostic Software see chap-
ter 7.1 "Parameter definition with TEBS E Diagnostic Software", page 125 =>
Window TEBS - GIO parameter 3.
Set the flashing frequency if necessary (between 1 Hz and 10 Hz).
(WABCO recommendation: 3 Hz).
If LEDs are installed as brake lights, activate the parameter LED installed.
4.23 Immobilizer
Application
Purpose
Immobilizer for reducing the risk of theft
The function can also be used as an "electric parking brake". The parked vehicle is
secured against rolling in case unauthorised persons actuate the red button on the
PREV either accidentally or on purpose.
Function
Using an integrated pulse-controlled lift axle valve, the wheels of a parked vehicle
can be blocked via the Tristop cylinder.
The immobilizer can be activated or deactivated by entering a self-defined PIN key
via the SmartBoard or the Trailer Remote Control.
If a vehicle is moved with the immobilizer activated or the system is manipulated,
the TEBS E modulator can output an alarm signal (24 V voltage) to a connected
optional output device (warning lamp, horn).
Emergency release function or emergency release

The emergency release function can be used to deactivate the immobilizer without
entering the user PIN to allow moving the vehicle e.g. in critical situations.
Define parameters for an emergency release function optionally in the window
TEBS - GIO parameter 2 see chapter 7.1 "Parameter definition with TEBS E Di-
agnostic Software", page 125.
The emergency release function is activated via the SmartBoard and releases
the vehicle for a defined period of time.
Example of situation process "Vehicle secured with immobilizer":

Status display
As of TEBS E2, the driver is notified of the immobilizer status with the
yellow warning lamp. If the immobilizer is inactive, the warning lamp
flashes eight times after switching the ignition on.
Logging the events

For logging and evaluating the events, certain activities with the immobilizer are
stored with an entry in the operating data recorder (ODR) see chapter 3.10.6 "Op-
erating data recorder (ODR)", page 44. This data can be viewed by insurance
agencies or fleet managers for example.
An ODR event is displayed with the following events:
Immobilizer status changes
Incorrect PIN entered
Moving of vehicle despite Immobilizer
Emergency release function operated
Power supply
To activate/deactivate the immobilizer, the trailer must provide the power supply.
This can be assured two different ways.

5.1.1 TailGUARD functions
Application
Purpose
Detecting objects out of the driver's field of vision behind the trailer with ultrasonic
sensors.
Benefit: Avoiding cost-intensive damages on vehicle, ramp and loading.
On towing vehicles with automatic transmissions, the accelerator pedal must be

released on time, otherwise passing the stopping point may occur if the towing
vehicle increases engine power when braking with TailGUARD.
The TailGUARD system does not relieve the driver of the responsibility of
checking the rear when reversing. A guide is always necessary.
Extreme weather conditions e.g. heavy rain or snowfall, can lead to the re-
stricted functionality. Objects with very soft surfaces cannot be detected under
all circumstances. WABCO cannot hold liable for any accident that is caused
despite of using this system; this is a support system only.
Function
TailGUARD is activated by shifting into reverse gear. Activating will cause the
marker lights on the trailer to be actuated via ELEX and they will flash. The flashing
frequency is increased the closer the vehicle is to the object.
If the parameterised stopping distance is falling below, the vehicle will be braked
for 3 seconds and then brake will be released. The stopping distance can be set
via diagnosis (between 30 and 100 cm for TailGUARDlight; between 50-100 cm for
TailGUARD, TailGUARDRoof and TailGUARDMAX) see chapter 7.1 "Parameter
definition with TEBS E Diagnostic Software", page 125.
If TailGUARD initiates an automatic braking, in the same time a demand for actuat-
ing the brake lights will be sent via ISO 7638 CAN interface to the trailer vehicle.
New trailer vehicles support this function and activate the brake light.
During this time the marker lights are switched on permanently. The braking pres-
sure of the trailer EBS E is defined by ELEX depending on vehicle speed and the
distance to the object measured by the ultrasonic sensors.
Provided the speed is below 9 km/h the brake is activated only for the final stop of
the vehicle in front of the ramp.
In case the vehicle is approaching the ramp with > 9 km/h, the system triggers
short brake pulses to remind the driver of the excess speed and regulates the
speed down to 7 km/h.
After an automatic braking the driver can switch back to self-acting. The distance
information will be send to the truck via ELEX and TEBS E via PLC (Power Line
Communication) and can be displayed via Trailer Remote Control for the driver.
Furthermore, the communication occurs via ISO 12098 CAN interface "Towing ve-
hicle" (actuation of the marker lights).
Silent mode: If a buzzer is connected it can be deactivated temporarily via engag-
ing the reverse gear twice within 3 seconds, e.g. when making deliveries in resi-
dential areas.

TailGUARDlight Ramp approach help

This system only measures the distance to a ramp with two ultrasonic sensors. Not
the entire area behind the vehicle is monitored.
TailGUARDlight supports the driver in reversing up to loading ramps. Here in inter-
action with Trailer EBS, the trailer vehicle brakes automatically before reaching the
load ramp in order to prevent damages to the vehicle and ramp.
The braking pressure is defined depending on vehicle speed and the distance to
the object measured by the ultrasonic sensors.
Provided the speed is below 9 km/h the brake is activated only for the final stop of
the vehicle in front of the ramp. If the vehicle moves backward at > 9 km/h, the sys-
tem triggers short brake impulses to notify the driver of the excessive speed and
reduces the speed.
To avoid damages while loading and unloading due to relative movements of the
vehicle towards the ramp, a space between trailer and ramp is maintained. The
minimum distance is 30 cm; WABCO recommendation: 50 cm.
With a Trailer Remote Control installation in a towing vehicle, the distance to the
ramp is displayed with two rows of LEDs. At the same time, the distance to the
ramp is indicated by a buzzer or Trailer Remote Control emitting different frequen-
cies
If the angle between the ramp and the direction of vehicle movement is > 10, the
ramp cannot be detected in all circumstances.
Roof
TailGUARD Reverse monitoring (includes TailGUARD, TailGUARD and TailGUARDMAX)
With this system, the entire area behind the vehicle is monitored with ultrasonic
sensors.
WABCO recommends a minimum system of three sensors on the same level
(TailGUARD).
TailGUARD detects objects on the ground, such as light posts or other objects that
are located in the pick-up area of the ultrasonic sensors (at the height of the ultra-
sonic sensors). TailGUARDMAX is tested according to ISO 12155. During the in-
stallation, the install dimensions must be maintained, see chapter 6.8 "Installing
TailGUARD components", page 114.
Form and positive recognition

The area behind the vehicle is monitored up to the vehicle width and a distance of
max. 2.5 - 4 m back behind the vehicle. The existing monitoring area depends on
the installed system and on the size of the object.
If an object is located within the monitoring area of the sensors, the distance indi-
cated as follows:
Flashing marker lights with varied frequencies
Display on the LED bar in the optional Trailer Remote Control
Changing tone frequency of the beeper in the Trailer Remote Control
Optional, external buzzer (not included in WABCO scope of delivery)
Optional, external signal lamps for countries, in which flashing marker lights are
not allowed, such as Great Britain or Switzerland (not included in WABCO
scope of delivery)
If the ultrasonic sensors are raised to a height at which parts of a ramp are located,
the system can also be used as ramp approach help. This requires at least one ul-
trasonic sensor mounted at ramp height to ensure clear detection of the protruding
ramp.
92
An external acoustic signal transmitter can be connected to GIO14 / Pin 1 (ELEX).
When using the Trailer Remote Control, the driver in the cab is notified with an
acoustic signal as well as with visual indication on the light bar.
Information on the Trailer Remote Control see chapter 8.2 "Operation with Trailer
Remote Control", page 147.

Activation
TailGUARD is activated by shifting into reverse gear. The activation causes the
beeper and the yellow and red LED on the Trailer Remote Control to switch on
briefly. The marker lights on the trailer vehicle are also switched on by the TEBS E
and they flash.
An indication of the distance to an object on the towing vehicle display is possible
depending on the manufacturer.
Deactivation
The function is deactivated by:
Speed > 12 km/h and/or supply pressure lower than 4.5 bar
Shut-off by Trailer Remote Control
Temporarily switch off with an external button or switch in GIO
Engage reverse gear two times within 1-3 seconds
Because of a fault (TEBS E cannot brake automatically in this case)
All deactivations are only effective until the reverse gear is engaged again. If the
system is deactivated, the marker lights or additional lights are not actuated. The
acoustic signals are switched off and the Trailer Remote Control shows the respec-
tive system status on the display. Deactivating TailGUARD is stored as an even in
the operating data recorder (ODR).

5.1.3 ECAS 2-point control
Application
Semitrailers with independent wheel suspension and drawbar trailers.
Utilisation with semitrailers or central axle trailers and rigid axles is not permitted.
Purpose
2-point control is an extension to the ECAS functionality, i.e. the automatic control
deviation compensation.
Function
Control deviations are caused by disturbances (such as e.g. change in load status)
and lead to a change in the distance between the vehicle axle and the vehicle body.
This change is detected by a distance sensor mounted on the vehicle body, is
evaluated by TEBS E and ELEX and causes the support bellows to either inflate or
deflate by actuating the ECAS solenoid valve. By using a second distance sensor,
95
the level deviations are detected on each side and are compensated according to
the ECAS functionality to maintain the chosen driving level.

5.1.4 Battery supply and battery charging
Application
For ECAS application
Purpose
ELEX enables the connection of a 24 V battery for supplying voltage from the
ECAS, if the ignition is switched off or terminal 30 is not available. The battery must
be secured with a 10 A fuse. A battery charge occurs via TEBS E / ELEX if
ISO 7638 is plugged in.
96
The battery charge occurs depending on the charge status at up to 2.5 A. Batteries
of 2 to 10 Ah can be charged by TEBS E. With larger batteries, e.g. from the cool-
ing unit, the charge function must be switched off by defined parameters.
Wake-up function
When using a respective battery, TEBS E with ELEX can be woken up with a but-
ton and the respective functions can be activated.
If the button is actuated for less than 5 seconds, the TEBS E and ELEX switch on.
If the button is actuated for longer than 5 seconds and then released again, the
battery supply switches off.
To prevent a total discharge, the battery is switched off at a voltage less than 21 V
(24 V-Battery) or 10.5 V (12 V-Battery).
As an alternative, the battery supply of the TEBS E can also be routed directly via
a switch to the IN/OUT connection of the modulator. Then, because of the switch
setting, it is clearly identifiable whether the battery supply is switched on or off. The
battery charge will still be done via ELEX in this case.
The TEBSE generations before TEBS E2 can be supplied by an external battery

(e.g. vehicle with hoist). In this case, the battery must be connected to the IN/OUT
connection of the modulator.

5.2 Trailer Remote Control

Application
In every truck in combination with ELEX and TEBS E2.
Purpose
TRC is an display and control panel for TEBS E functions and a distance display
for TailGUARD functions in the trailer.
Function
The use of Trailer Remote Control (TRC is possible in each truck. The function is
only given in connection with ELEX and TEBS E2.
Trailer Remote Control (TRC) will be mounted in the driver cabin. With this control
unit the driver can operate functions in the trailer, observe the status of different
functions and prepare vehicle for loading and unloading procedures.
If TailGUARD function is installed, distance and positions of detected object can be
shown visual and acoustic via TRC.
When turning on the supply voltage to the Trailer Remote Contraol a short acoustic
and visual text will be carried out (0.5 seconds). The actual system configuration
97
that is stored in TEBS E will be transferred to the TRC via PLC (Power Line Com-
munication) The key assignment preconfigurated in the TEBS E will be verified
against the transferred system configuration. The available functions will be shown
with lighting buttons.

5.5 Tyre pressure monitoring (IVTM)

Application
Purpose
Permanent monitoring of the tyre pressure on all wheels with tyre pressure sensors.
Around 85 % of all punctures are caused by trips with the vehicle with incorrect tyre
pressure or by creeping pressure loss while the vehicle is in motion. With IVTM it is
possible to reduce the risk of a tyre blow-out to 15 %.
Function
The measured values are transmitted, via the CAN bus, to the towing vehicle
where they can be displayed on the instrument panel display if the towing vehicle is
equipped accordingly. Alternatively it is also possible to transmit the measured val-
ues to the towing vehicle via radio signal. The connected display in the driver's cab
warns the driver in good time in the event of a creeping or critical drop in pressure.
If a SmartBoard is installed in the trailer, the driver only needs to read off the tyre
pressures. If IVTM detects a tyre pressure that is too low, the red warning lamp
starts to flash.
A check of all tyre pressures can be shown on the display, checking with a pres-
sure gauge is no longer required. IVTM does not replace a visual check of the tyres
however.
IVTM is only a support mechanism and does not relieve the driver of the responsi-
bility of checking the tyres visually.

Safety information
WARNING Damage to the TEBS E Modulator caused by not using WABCO original ca-
bles
Cables from other manufacturers can lead to water infiltrating the modulator
through the cable and damaging the modulator.
Use only WABCO original cables.
WARNING Hazardous voltages
Dangerous voltages can damage the electronic controller.

With electrostatic painting or welding work on the vehicle, the connecting lines
must be separated and coverage of the connecting contacts (e.g. with blind
stops) must be ensured.
Ground connections for welding and paint spray systems must always be con-
nected on the parts that are being worked on.
Moveable or insulated components (e.g. axles) are to be connected with the
chassis in a conductive manner.
CAUTION Damage to the modulator by overpainting
It is no longer possible to release the connector locks and the plastic pipes of the
pneumatic screw connections after it has been painted over.
Do not paint over the modulator.

Outline Drawings
Click on Product Catalogue INFORM => Product number.
Enter the part number of the TEBS E Modulators in the search field.
The installation location can be in the direction of travel or against the direction of
travel (stud bolts face direction of travel).
Define the parameters for the installation position using the TEBS E Diagnostic
Software see chapter 7.1 "Parameter definition with TEBS E Diagnostic Soft-
ware", page 125 => Window TEBS system => Modulator mounting.
The silencers must be open to the atmosphere and always point perpendicular
to the floor (see below) see chapter 6.3.1 "RSS installation regulations",
page 106.
Fastening on cross member

The cross member must be welded/bolted to both longitudinal members of the ve-
hicle.
Mount the modulator on a sufficiently sized U-section, angle section, or a suit-

able reinforced member that is at least 4 mm thick (applies to steel sections).
The height of the mount must be greater than the flange-surface of the modula-
tor so that the flange makes full contact with the mount.
Washers or spring lock washers are only permitted directly under the nut.
The tightening torque of the nuts is 85 Nm.
Note the installation guidelines for RSS as well see chapter 6.3.1 "RSS installa-
tion regulations", page 106.
6.3.1 RSS installation regulations
The parameters for the circumference of the installed tyres and the number of teeth
of the installed pole wheel must be defined because these input values are used to
calculate the required value of lateral acceleration which represents a risk of tip-
ping.
106
Installation notes
TEBS E2 6
The Roll Stability Support (RSS) function depends on the accuracy of the parame-
ter settings for the tyre circumferences, number of pole wheel teeth and the other
data in the brake calculation. With inaccurate data the function does not work
properly.
Faultless function is only possible if the actual tyre size is no more than 8 %
smaller than the defined value. The parameterised pole wheel tooth count must be
identical with the installed number of pole wheel teeth.
Please refer to the WABCO brake calculation for the values for the permitted tyre
circumference range and the LSV data.
Never fit tyres that are larger than specified; the function will not work properly oth-
erwise.
Calibrate the inclination of the modulator () with the TEBS E Diagnostic Soft-
page 125 => Window TEBS-E Diagnostic Software => System => Calibrate in-
stallation position for RSS Modulator.
Requirement: The vehicle must be parked on a flat, level surface (deviation
from horizontal < 1).
If the calibration is not carried out, the modulator inclination will calibrate itself
when driving.

6.4 Cable mounting / Cable fastening
CAUTION Damage to the cable

Water that enters cable core can damage the TEBS E modulator. Use only
WABCO original cables. By using cables of other manufacturers and any con-
sequential damage a claim is impossible.
Plan your installation location so that cable cannot become kinked.
Fasten the cable and plug so that no tension or lateral forces affect the plug-in
connections.
Avoid laying cables across sharp edges or near aggressive media (acids for
example).
Route the cable to the connections so that water cannot get into the plug-in
connector.
Cable-/dummy cap installation
Open the yellow slider for the lock before you can insert or remove the cable
end sockets (socket housing) into the respective slot on the ECU frame.
If the slider is in the locked end position (condition at delivery), you can use a
size 13 open-end spanner to release the notch from either the top or from below
(1).
You then pull out the slider up to the cover end stop by hand in order to permit
access to the plug guide.
Insert the cable ends (or the dummy cap) vertically on the respective slot of the
ECU (e.g. power cable to POWER connection).
8-pin cable for POWER, SUBSYSTEMS, MODULATOR and to GIO10-12
4-pin cables for GIO1-7, ABS c, d, e and f, IN/OUT and to GIO13-18
Ensure that the correct polarity and coding (connector to slot) is adhered to.
They can only be inserted if the two parts match.
The black dummy caps for the 4- and 8-pin slots are not coded and match the
respective slot.
109
All connectors to the ECU are marked in colour, the colour coding can be found
in the cable overview see chapter 10.3 "Cable overview", page 171.
Press the cable end into the slot (2) with a little initial force and push the locking
slider back to its initial position (3).
In this procedure, the latch hook of the slider latches in the ECU frame. The
correct latching of the slider is confirmed by an audible "click" sound.
Hereby the slider has also reached the end position of the stop and is
aligned with the other closed locking mechanisms.
CAUTION Damage to the power cable
To avoid damaging the connector when the cable is pulled through, the connector
is enclosed by a protection cap.
Carefully remove the protective cap when connecting the cable to the ECU so
that the seal will not be damaged or slip.
Cable fixation
CAUTION Damage to the cable

Fasten the cable ties so that the cable is not damaged
When using tools, please note the instructions of the cable-tie manufacturer.
If the cables are too long, do not wrap them up, route the cables in through
loops, see following diagram.
Legend
Cable tie
Fix the cables (maximum 300 mm cable length distance to the ECU) using ca-
ble ties.
The 8-pin cables of the ports POWER, SUBSYSTEMS and MODULATOR must
be fixed on the TEBS E using the fixing points provided.

6.5 Pipes / Hoses
Tube assembly
Cut the plastic hose at a right angle. A maximum deviation of up to 15 is per-
missible.
Push the pipe into the plug-in coupling by hand to the stop . While pushing
in the pipe turn it slightly to ease the connection.
Positioning is accomplished in two distinct stages:
1. stage: Passing the clamping ring
2. stage: Reaching the position length (stop position at bottom of plug-in is felt)
Marking the push-in length L mentioned in the table at the end of the pipe is
recommended for visual control.

Pneumatic ports
For the best possible time response behaviour, all pneumatic couplings for pipes or
hoses must be implemented without elbow- or T-fittings.
The supply port 1 of the brake must be connected x 2 (recommended: 15 x 1.5 mm
or 16 x 2 mm). The length is allowed to be maximum 6 m.
Reservoir size: 80 litres for standard vehicles (3 axle semitrailers).
The Pneumatic Extension Module (PEM) is recommended for optimal installation.
The installation of cross-sections is already determined by the overload protection
valve, the discharge valve and the pneumatic pressure distribution for the reser-
voirs (brake and air suspension), the PREVs, the air suspension valve, the rotary
slide valve, the lifting axle or the ECAS block, and of 4 additional ports for the Tris-
top cylinders. All couplings are integrated already.

6.6 Installation Distance sensor
Distance sensor with extension and linkage
Distance sensor 441 050 100 0 is used to both measure the driving level with
ECAS vehicles and for determining the axle load with mechanical suspension.
Install the distance sensor in such as way that the two mounting holes are hori-
zontal and face upward.
A lever is used for linking the distance sensor lever.
The maximum excursion of the lever 50 may not be exceeded.
The length of the distance sensor lever can be set.
On vehicles with long compression travel, use a longer lever.
Use a shorter lever in vehicles with especially short compression travel to obtain
more accurate measurements. Here the lever length of the distance sensor
should be 100 mm. Lever lengths other than 100 mm must be specified in the
parameter settings see chapter 7.1 "Parameter definition with TEBS E Diagnos-
tic Software", page 125, Window TEBS - LSV => Distance sensor Lever length
[mm].
112
Installation notes
TEBS E2 6
It is important that the distance sensor moves freely across its operating range,
and that the lever can only move in the way intended.
The distance sensor and the level both have a fastening hole (4 mm) for locking
the lever into the optimal position for the driving level.
The linkage for the distance sensor should be fastened so that the lever is hori-
zontal at driving level.
The connection to the axle may be achieved by means of the linkage.
The rubber link of the lever should be connected by a 6 mm rod (solid) to the
linkage on the axle.
ECAS vehicles
1-point control
Move the distance distance sensor to the middle of the main axle to prevent
damage to the distance sensor when travelling around curves with greater vehi-
cle inclination.
2-point control
For ECAS-2-point control (independent wheel suspension / drawbar
vehicle), only distance sensor 441 050 100 0 is permitted.
On drawbar trailers, move the distance sensor to the middle of the front axle
and rear axle to prevent damage to the distance sensor when travelling around
curves with greater vehicle inclination.
On semitrailer vehicles, move the distance sensors as far away to the left and
right of the vehicle centre as possible. Make sure that damages cannot be
caused in curves.
Vehicle with mechanical suspension

Move the distance sensor to the middle of the main axle. Make sure that struc-
tural movement does not "knock over" or break the sensor.
Always use the bore hole with 100 mm distance to the turning shaft of the dis-
tance sensor.
The black lever of the distance sensor is not to be extended because the load
information would become imprecise and represent an incorrect brake pressure.
The lever of the distance sensor must be directly connected with the rubber link
of lever 441 901 71. 2.
The lever is available complete, including two rubber links and connecting rod in
various lengths.
The connection to the axle is done with an angle iron welded to the axle.
For vehicles with two distance sensors, distance sensor 1 must be connected to
the axle c-d sensed by ABS and distance sensor 2 to axle e-f sensed by ABS.

6.8 Installing TailGUARD components

Required components
In addition to TEBS E, ELEX, LIN ultrasonic sensors, the Trailer Remote Control
(optional) and respective cables are required. The rear lights and reversing lights
must be connected though a junction box to ELEX via ISO 12098. As an alternative
the marker lights can be connected directly on the ELEX to GIO11.
Additional information on the components see chapter 5.1.1 "TailGUARD func-
tions", page 90.
Ultrasonic sensors
The install location for the ultrasonic sensors is to be chosen based on the dia-
grams shown. If the positions are incorrect, object detection and therefore the func-
tionality of the system cannot be guaranteed.
The ultrasonic sensors are not to be mounted in a U-profile because this could
cause reflections. We recommend that the ultrasonic sensors are protected me-
chanically to avoid damages to the inactive system.
The surface where the ultrasonic sensor is screwed must be plane and must be
minimum 2 mm bigger as the ultrasonic sensor (protection of drainage holes in the
rear against direct high-pressure cleaning).

6.9 Installation Trailer Remote Control

Install the TRC either on the A-column or on the instrument panel within the
driver's view.
The display should be visible at all times and can be achieved by the setting of
the mount. A universal mount is available or both positions and is included in
the scope of delivery. As an alternative, other standard mounts can be used.
Please not that TRC should not be mounted that air bag is detracted from function.
Run the line in front of the windshield under the rubber seal to the other side of
the vehicle and into the fuse box there.
The cable for the connection in the fuse box is available in the scope of delivery
at a length of 4 m.
TRC must be attached to the line for terminal 30, which comes directly from the
7-pin ABS trailer socket (ISO 7638) into the driver's cab, before the fuse.
The voltage for the TRC can be taken directly at the fuse.
Secure the TRC with a 5 A fuse.
If no communication is possible with the ELEX in the coupled trailer, the damping
of the PLC signal of the electronics installed in the towing vehicle is too great. The
damping of the connection point of the ELEX must be reduced with inductance.
Extend the line that comes from the ABS socket with an additional piece of line
(1.5 - 4 m, 2.5 mm) and connect the TRC at this distance from the fuse.
The additional line is for inductance and uncouples the damping of the tow-
ing vehicle.
In exceptional cases: If communication is still not possible, connect the line to
the TRC directly to the ISO 7638 socket (Pin 1 and 4).

7.1 Parameter definition with TEBS E Diagnostic Software

Introduction
The GIO functionality denotes inputs and outputs that can be parameterised (Ge-
neric Input/Output). On the TEBS E Modulator there are a maximum of 7 electrical
connections with the designation GIO1-7.
With this functionally guided arrangement you can assign the desired functions as
required. This allows a multiple of functionalities and combinations
To facilitate the process of setting parameters and GIO port assignments for stan-
dard applications, standard configurations see chapter 10.5 "GIO diagrams",
page 181 have been defined. These standard configurations show the maximum
possible connection to the TEBS E modulator from a simple semitrailer with RTR
function up to ECAS function with unloading level switch, road finisher brake, etc.
If a new parameter set is to be created for a vehicle, a suitable GIO plan is se-
lected first. Fitting in this case, the respective parameter set is stored in the
TEBS E Diagnostic Software (under the GIO diagram number).
The pin assignments of the TEBS E Modulator are defined in the GIO plans for the
Standard and Premium variant respectively. The respective maximum systems are
described in the plans and parameter records.
If the functions are not required, they can simply be deselected in the selection of
functions.
Parameter setting
A TEBS E system training is necessary to create a parameter set. Only after re-
ceiving the PIN are you authorised to make changes using the TEBS E Diagnostic
Software see chapter 9.2 "System training", page 157.
There is a new PIN for TEBS E2, therefore another training is required.
speak to your WABCO partner.

The window TEBS system opens.
Click on the button Read from file, to read a parameter set.

By downloading the TEBS E Diagnostic Software, parameter sets that have
been defined by WABCO are also downloaded. The parameter sets are named
after the GIO diagram.
The predefined parameter sets assign functions to connectors as listed in the
table. Standard parameters are here preset for the functions (pressures for lift-
126
ing and lowering the lifting axles, maximum pressure and speed for traction help
for example).
For semitrailers and central axle trailers the configuration 2S/2M is selected as
ABS configuration and 4S/3M for drawbar trailers.
To complete the parameter set you need to make more entries.
If the vehicle has e.g. one lifting axle, check the checkbox of the corresponding
axle at lifting axle 1.
After you have completed and checked your input click Next.

addition to the respective 4S/3M brake system.
When using 2 lift axles, lift axle 1 is to be set on the first axle and lift axle 2 on the
last axle.
The ECAS valve block or the LACV-IC must control the rear axle.
Function selection
In window TEBS E - function selection, click on Lift axle control1 (ILS1) with one
lift axle and on Lift axle control2 (ILS2) with two lift axles.
Under the Special functions, Manoeuver assistance (MH) or Manoeuvre assis-
tance with residual pressure maintenance (MH+) must be selected. These pa-
rameters are requirements for activating OptiLoadTM or OptiTurnTM.
In window TEBS - GIO parameter 1 you can select the Switch level detection for
the manoeuvre assistance button.
Under Automatic lift axle control, you can select an integrated residual pressure
maintenance on tag axles (optional).

Pin assignment
If you click on button System label, a system label can be printed out see chap-
ter 7.5 "Documentation", page 143.
Select the desired function from the pull-down menu of a vacant slot by clicking
on it.
The term None in the pull-down menus means that is no assignment is yet in
place. Only functions which have previously been selected and which are pos-
sible are listed in the drop-down menus.
You can change the assignments as you wish. Remember, however, that you
need to take the availability of the power stages and the inputs into account. For
example, an ECAS valve can only be assigned to GIO2 or GIO3 because it is
only on these two slots that two power stages are available.
The data record can only be written to the ECU, if all selected functions are al-
located and no more doubled allocations exist, which means when the fields
Component(s) not yet assigned and Component(s) selected twice are empty.
A maximum of three functions are possible for each GIO slot.
Please ensure that all the suitable cables are available. If you do not have a
matching cable, you may use a 4-pin universal cable and use a junction box.
After you have completed and checked your input click OK.
133
Multi-Voltage
The TEBS E Diagnostic Software automatically detects whether a multi-voltage
variant was connected. In window TEBS E system, the voltage supply type 12 V or
24 V must be selected. All of the options that are not available in the mode are no
longer shown on the following screen pages.
CAN messages: This parameter can be used to have CAN communi-

cation supported only for 24 V or 12 -24 V (12 V or 24 V) by TEBS E.
Parameter No ALB with towing vehicle without EBS (only in coun-

tries with mixed operation (12 V / 24 V))
If the trailer is operated, alternating behind tow vehicles that are
equipped for load-dependent (e.g. EU semitrailers ) and independent
brake force control (e.g. US semitrailers), the TEBS E Diagnostic
Software can be used for choosing the automatic deactivation of the
LSV control on semitrailer tractors without CAN bus (e.g. US semitrail-
ers).
This means: Behind these US towing vehicles with exclusively pneu-
matic brake control line, without load-dependent braking force, the
laden characteristic curve is delivered.
If a braking pressure definition exists via CAN of the ISO 7638 plug-in
connection, the ALB (LSV) is active automatically again.
The selection of the parameter No ALB with towing vehicle without
EBS is only possible with the Multi-Voltage modulator.
134
TailGUARD functions
Requirements: ELEX is connected via subsystems to the TEBS E Modulator.
In window TEBS - GIO parameter 3, click on button Next.
The following window opens:
Click on the system that should be installed in the vehicle.
TailGUARDlight (Ramp approach help)

PWM sensors: Using the ultrasonic sensors of the TCE. The sensors are to be
connected with two cables to GIO17 (left) and GIO18 (right).
LIN sensors: Sensors with an LIN interface for communication with the ELEX. In
this case, one sensor can be connected to each of GIO17 and GIO18 or both sen-
sors can be connected to GIO17 or GIO18 with a LIN distributor.
In window GIO - plug assignment => Plug connector ELEX select Ultrasonic sensor
LIN (Pin 4 3) only once on GIO17 or GIO18, otherwise an error message will occur.
The function of the sensors is then provided on both GIOs because they are on a
parallel circuit inside. Sensors can always be connected to both GIOs, even if none
is shown at GIO17 or GIO18.
Install depth sensor: Here, the distance of the sensor from the last, rear vehicle
edge must be entered. The distance should be a maximum of 35 cm.
Stopping distance: Here, the distance to an obstacle is to be entered, at which the
ELEX and TEBS E will brake the vehicle. The stopping distance can be set be-
tween 0.3 m and 1 m.
135
TailGUARD (Reverse monitoring system Main level)

A maximum of 6 sensors can be connected (6 sensors to GIO17 or 2 x 3 sensors
to GIO17 and GIO18).
In window GIO - Pin assignment => Plug connector ELEX select Ultrasonic sensor
LIN (Pin 4 3) only once on GIO17 or GIO18, otherwise an error message will occur.
The function of the sensors is then provided on both GIOs because they are on a
parallel circuit inside. Sensors can always be connected to both GIOs, even if none
is shown at GIO17 or GIO18.
2 ultrasonic sensors / 3 ultrasonic sensors: Here, a system with two or three ultra-
sonic sensors can be chosen.
WABCO recommendation: System with at least three ultrasonic sensors, since the
detection capabilities are much better with three sensors.
The middle sensor is only to be installed with an offset upward or downward by a
maximum of 15 cm.
In order to recognise protruding ramps, all sensors or at least the middle sensor
must be mounted at buffer height or directly underneath.
Vehicle width: The maximum vehicle width is entered.
Distance sensor 1 (left) sensor 2 (right): Here, the distance between the two
outer ultrasonic sensors (measured centre to centre) is entered. The sensors of the
main level must be installed at a distance of 180 cm for a system in accordance
with ISO 12155. If the distance from the sensor is < 200 cm, recognition in the
outer area in the vicinity of the vehicle is limited.
Distance sensor 1 (left) sensor 3 (middle): The distance between the left sensor
and the middle sensor is entered.
Distance Sensors to ground: The distance from the sensor centre to the ground if
the vehicle is positioned at normal level. The main level must be installed at a
height of 90 cm for a system in accordance with ISO 12155.
edge must be entered. The distance should be a maximum of 35 cm.
Braking: Here, you can chose whether the vehicle should brake automatically.
Stopping distance: Enter the distance to the vehicle at which the vehicle will brake
automatically because of ELEX and TEBS E if this distance from the ramp is
achieved. With three sensors, the stopping distance can be 0.5 - 1 m.
Sensor sensitivity
Sensitive: High detection capability in close proximity (as delivered). Recom-
mended sensitivity for main level with TailGUARDMAX and for TailGUARD. At
a sensor distance of < 2 m, this sensitivity must be selected if the total area to
the rear is to be monitored.
Standard: The sensitivity of the sensors is somewhat reduced in close proximity
to mask out objects, which are solidly fastened to the trailer and can cause re-
flections (rubber buffers, etc. for instance). This setting should be used with
Roof
TailGUARD for the top two sensors.
Ground level: The sensitivity of the sensors is somewhat reduced at a distance,
to mask out reflections caused by objects on the ground (curbs for instance).
This setting should be used if the sensors are installed lower than 50 cm (e.g.
for the lower sensor row with TailGUARDMAX).
If the sensitivity of the sensors should be changed afterward, because e.g. interfer-
ence occurs, the system must be commissioned again see window TEBS-E Diag-
nostic Software => Measured values => Reverse monitoring.
136
TailGUARDRoof / TailGUARDMAX (Reverse monitoring Additional level)
2 ultrasonic sensors: A system with two ultrasonic sensors can be chosen for Tail-
GUARDRoof.
3 ultrasonic sensors: A system with three ultrasonic sensors can be chosen for
TailGUARDMAX. The middle sensor is only to be installed with an offset upward or
downward by a maximum of 15 cm.
Distance sensor 4 (left) sensor 5 (right): Here, the distance between the two
outer ultrasonic sensors (measured centre to centre) is entered. The sensors of the
additional level must be installed at a distance of 180 cm for a system in accor-
dance with ISO 12155.
Distance sensor 4 (left) sensor 6 (middle): The distance between the left sensor
and the middle sensor is entered.
Distance Sensors to ground: The distance from the sensor centre to the ground if
the vehicle is positioned at normal level. The additional level must be installed at a
height of 40 cm for a system in accordance with ISO 12155.
edge must be entered.
Braking: Here, you can chose whether the vehicle should brake automatically.
Stopping distance: Enter the distance to the obstruction at which the vehicle will
brake automatically because of ELEX and TEBS E if this distance from the ramp is
achieved. The stopping distance can deviate from that of the main level (0.7 - 1 m).
Sensor sensitivity: See previous descriptions.
Options
Reverse warning (buzzer) installed: An external buzzer can be connected to the
ELEX, which changes frequency according to the distance from the ramp (Tail-
GUARD) or detected object (TailGUARDMAX). The buzzer must have a mini-
mum power consumption of 10 mA, lower will be perceived as a cable break.
The buzzer should output a continuous tone.
Position lamps: The flashing function of the position lamps (marker lights) can
be deactivated here for countries that do not permit it (e.g. Great Britain and
Switzerland).
Communication to TRC active: The communication to the TRC (Trailer Remote
Control) via PLC (Power Line Communication) in the towing vehicle can be de-
activated here. This disables the TRC functionality.
Reverse signal lights on trailer
No light installed: No external light for indicating the distance connected to the
ELEX.
flashing: The two connected external signal lights flash with the position lamp
frequency.
Permanently on: The two connected external signal lights indicate, in which
monitoring area an object is located or the distance to the ramp. The function is
required for countries in which flashing of the marker lights is not permitted
(e.g. Great Britain and Switzerland).
Deactivating braking: TailGUARD can be deactivated briefly, to prevent unwanted
braking when reversing so that continued travel is possible, e.g. if there is a fault.
Engaging reverse gear twice: The system can be deactivated by repeatedly en-
gaging the reverse gear within 1-3 seconds.
Engaging reverse gear twice after braking: With this option, the optional exter-
nal buzzer (e.g. in residential areas) is deactivated by repeatedly engaging the
reverse gear within 1-3 seconds. If the vehicle brakes while reversing, repeat-
edly engaging the reverse gear within 1-3 s will cause TailGUARDMAX to be
deactivated.
137
via button: A button can be connected to the ELEX. If the button is actuated
with the reverse gear engaged, TailGUARD is deactivated. All deactivations are
only effective until the reverse gear is engaged again.
Trailer battery
Not fitted: No trailer battery connected to the ELEX.
12 V: Here, a 12 V battery is connected to the ELEX (e.g. from cooler as well).
This requires that a TEBS E2 Multi-Voltage Modulator be used. ELEX switches
the battery off if the battery voltage drops below 10.8 V.
24 V: A 24 V battery is connected to the ELEX. ELEX switches the battery off if
the battery voltage drops below 21.6 V.
Battery charge: If this option is chosen, a connected battery is charged by the
ELEX. Here as well, an after-run of at least one minute must be set in the ECU.
Trailer Remote Control configuration
In this window, one of three defined configurations can be selected. You can also
define the buttons as you like see chapter 8.2 "Operation with Trailer Remote Con-
trol", page 147.
Threshold value tilt angle: Here, the threshold values of the tipping angle display
can be set.
Save immobilizer PIN in TRC: Saving the PIN can be actuated as an option.
7.2 Function test

You can only perform the function test (EOL test) if you have taken part in the
TEBS E training.
With the TEBS E Diagnostic Software, you are able to perform different simulations
via the menu Control see chapter 7.1 "Parameter definition with TEBS E Diagnos-
tic Software", page 125 => Window TEBS-E Diagnostic Software.
138
7.3 Commissioning the ultrasonic sensors
The LIN-ultrasonic sensors must be taught the detection of the position on the ve-
hicle after installing. Reflexions caused by attached parts on the vehicle can also
be masked.
Teaching the ultrasonic sensors

Click on the button Start initial start-up.
This requires covering the LIN ultrasonic sensors for 5-10 seconds each, whereby
the following sequence absolutely must be maintained.
Main level: 1-left 2-right 3-middle
Additional level: 4-left 5-right 6-middle
The covered LIN ultrasonic sensor flashes in the image in the TEBS E Diagnostic
Software.
If an LIN ultrasonic sensor was detected, the marker lights flash one time.
139
Reflexions
After the LIN ultrasonic sensors are taught, a test is performed to fine whether re-
flections occur and the LIN ultrasonic sensors incorrectly detect objects on the ve-
hicle as hindrances.
For this test, an area of 5 m behind the vehicle and 0.5 m to the side of the vehicle
must be kept clear.
If an object is detected, press the button Mask reflections to mask this reflexion
out.
Another measurement is then made for 6 seconds to measure whether reflexions
of other objects have to be masked. Only one reflexion can be masked per LIN ul-
trasonic sensor.
If objects are still detected, LIN ultrasonic sensors or attachment parts must be po-
sitioned differently.
If the system is fault-free, a final test is performed. This requires a test specimen
that is higher than the installation height of the LIN ultrasonic sensors, at 0.6 m left
(0.1 m) and 1.6 m right (0.2 m) in the area behind the vehicle. If the test speci-
men were detected properly, the End-of-Line bit in the ELEX is deleted and the
system is fault-free.
If the test was not successful, either LIN ultrasonic sensors are taught in the wrong
position or the parameters have been entered improperly for the sensor distance.
PWM-ultrasonic sensors (TailGUARDlight) were not taught. Reflexions cannot be
masked out.
140
7.4 Calibration of the distance sensors
For calibrating the distance sensors, a TEBS E system training or an E-Learning is

mandatory. Only after obtaining the PIN 2 are you authorised to perform the cali-
bration see chapter 9.2 "System training", page 157.
Prerequisites for successful calibration

The characteristic curve range is 966-1660 Timer Ticks (TT).
Driving level I must be between 1139 and 1486 TT.
The upper calibration level must be greater than the sum of driving level I (Nor-
mal level) and 3x the tolerance value for the nominal level (can be set with the
TEBS E Diagnostic Software) + 5 mm.(e.g. arresting cables)
Formula: Upper calibration level > driving level + 3x tolerance value of nominal
level + 5 mm
The lower calibration level must be less than the difference from the driving
level minus 2 times the nominal level tolerance.
Formula: Lower calibration level < Driving level - 2x tolerance value of nominal
level
A characteristic curve fault appears in the diagnostic memory if an implausible cali-
bration occurs.
Move the vehicle into a horizontal position at the height of normal level, before
starting the calibration.
The TEBS E Diagnostic Software provides the following calibration capabilities see
Window TEBS-E Diagnostic Software => System => Calibration of distance sen-
sors:
3-point calibration
Application: For individual calibration of a vehicle.
This type of calibration corresponds with the standard ECAS systems.
Press the button Start calibration.
Adjust the vehicle to driving level I using the Lift/Lower buttons.
Press the button Save normal level.
An input field appears into which the distance between the load floor or the
top edge of the vehicle frame at driving level I relative to the road is entered
(in mm). Always measure the distance in the vicinity of the axle to be cali-
brated.
Adjust the vehicle to the upper level using the Lift/lower buttons.
Press the button Save upper level.
top edge of the vehicle frame at upper level relative to the road is entered (in
mm).
Adjust the vehicle to the lower level using the Lift/lower buttons.
Press the button Save lower level.
top edge of the vehicle frame at lower level relative to the road is entered (in
mm).
If the calibration was successful, a respective message appears.
141
Calibration "Input of mechanical values"

Application: For calibration of vehicles of the same type (series).
For this mode of calibration only the length of the lever on the ECAS distance sen-
sor is entered (between fulcrum point distance sensor and anchor point linkage)
and the distance to upper and lower level in mm relative to driving level I. The
value "Angle of rotation/compression travel" is calculated automatically. Now, driv-
ing level I still needs to be calibrated.
Enter the lever length between fulcrum point distance sensor and anchor point
of the linkage.
Enter the deflection to upper and lower level.
Enter the vehicle height (height of the load surface or height of the upper edge
of the vehicle frame).
Confirm with OK.
Adjust the vehicle to driving level I using the Lift/Lower buttons.
Press the button Save normal level.
Calibration "Load calibration data from file

Application: Recommendation with large series.
Calibration data is determined from a prototype vehicle and saved with Write to file.
Data can be saved directly into a *.ECU parameter file. This data is then read dur-
ing the calibration and written to the ECU. Moving the level separately is not re-
quired. Precondition for this is that the position of the distance sensor, the lever
length as well as the length of the linkage to the axle is identical for all vehicles.
Choose Select calibration file from the file window.
After the calibration of the 1st axle is complete, repeat the calibration process for
the 2nd axle.
7.4.1 Calibration on vehicles with mechanical suspension
In the TEBS E Diagnostics Software in window TEBS system with Suspension,

select point Mechanically suspended, see chapter 7.1 "Parameter definition with
TEBS E Diagnostic Software", page 125.
The unladen vehicle is defined with compression travel 0 mm (no entry neces-
sary).
Check in advance that the lever length of the distance sensor is 100 mm and
that the vehicle is unladen.
In the case of mechanical suspension, the distance sensor must be calibrated.
After selecting the type of suspension, in the TEBS E Diagnostics Software, en-
ter Suspension path laden [mm] and 100 mm for the Distance sensor lever
length [mm].
In the window TEBS-E Diagnostic Software, click on System => Calibration of
the distance sensors for axle load, to perform the calibration of the unladen ve-
hicle.
In the window TEBS - LSV enter the current Axle load unladen [kg].
142
7.5 Documentation
System plate
After the TEBS E system has been installed, the TEBS E diagnostics software can
be used to create a TEBS E system plate documenting the setup data. This
TEBS E system plate must be affixed in a clearly visible place on the vehicle (e. g.
in the area where the LSV plate is located in conventional braked vehicles). The
blank foil for this type plate can be obtained via WABCO part number
899 200 922 4. The data must be printed out using a laser printer.

Printing of PDF files
A print-out of the start-up log and the diagnostics memory protocol can
be created as a PDF directly from the print menu with the TEBS E2
Diagnostic Software.
The storage location can be defined under menu item Options => Set-
tings => File storage => Window TEBS-E Diagnostic Software see
chapter 7.1 "Parameter definition with TEBS E Diagnostic Software",
page 125.
It is also possible to save the start-up log as a PDF file. This option
can be selected under menu item Options => Settings => Start-up.
7.6 Commissioning Trailer Remote Control

To test the connection of the TRC in the towing vehicle, connect the trailer with
ELEX with the towing vehicle.
After connecting the TRC to the power supply, all LEDs are illuminated and
a 1 second beep sounds.
Switch on the ignition.
If PLC communication to the ELEX exists, the operating and display area is il-
luminated.
If no PLC communication to the ELEX exists, the operating and display area of
the TRC is not illuminated.
The red and yellow LEDs in the middle are illuminated briefly every 5 seconds.
Then TRC changes into sleep mode. Sleep mode is ended if a PLC signal is re-
ceived.
If despite the connected trailer with ELEX no communication is established with
TRC, check the following points:
In the TEBS E Diagnostic Software, is parameter Communication to TRC active
set? If not, set the parameter and define ELEX parameters see chapter 7.1 "Pa-
rameter definition with TEBS E Diagnostic Software", page 125 => Window
ELEX - Parameter.
Is a CAN router or CAN repeater installed in the trailer? The PLC signal is
weakened greatly by the CAN router or CAN repeater. A stable communication
is normally not possible.
If these points have been ruled out, the connection of the power supply for the TRC
must be checked and changed if necessary, as described previously.
Fault display
Sensor fault output
The error display for the sensors is done with an active ultrasonic sensor fault.
By simultaneously touching buttons F1 and F3 for longer than 2 seconds, errors
are output. In this case, the display shows for 2 seconds that a sensor error exists
and then the positions of the affected sensors are shown.
144
"S" indicates a sensor error Sensor top left and bottom right faulty
The position of the defective sensors is shown with an LED bar. In this case, the
install position of the sensor is output.

PLC signal fault

If the PLC signal is faulty or interrupted, an error output occurs via the LED rows.
1. The PLC signal is interrupted and TailGUARD is not active (reverse gear not
engaged). The middle red and the middle yellow LED rows are illuminated briefly
every 5 seconds.
2. The PLC signal is interrupted and TailGUARD is active (reverse gear engaged).
A continuous tone is output then for 3 seconds and the middle red and yellow LED
row are continually illuminated. The two LED rows then light up briefly every 5 sec-
onds.
In both cases, the flashing stops after one minute and the device switches to sleep
mode.
Sleep mode
If the PLC signal is not available, the TRC is inactive. In this case, all functions are
switched off and the operating and display area of the TRC is not illuminated. The
TRC is now in "Listening mode" and waits for the PLC signal.
If the PLC signal is available again, the device restarts and is then in normal opera-
tion again.
During sleep mode, the operator can touch any key at any time to perform a man-
ual restart. If no PLC signal is available after a restart, the error output described
above is started again.
145
TailGUARD fault and shut-down of the automatic brake

If an error or a functionality fault occurs with the TailGUARD system activated, the
middle red and yellow LED row are switched on continuously. A continuous tone
sounds for 3 seconds. After 3 seconds, the tone is deactivated again, the LED
rows are continually illuminated until either the reverse gear is deactivated, the er-
ror rectified or the TRC is restarted manually (switch operating power off/on).
If the reverse gear was deactivated, while the error was still existing, the LED rows
are briefly illuminated every 5 seconds for another minute before the device
switches back into sleep mode. The automatic braking is switched off.
If the device performs a restart, all existing errors are reset and re-evaluated if
necessary.

8 TEBS E2 Operation
Setting the distance display

For the distance display to an object, two modes are available, which differ in dis-
play, object distance and the definition of the monitored area.
By touching button F1 and F6 at the same time, you can switch between the two
modes. An acoustic signal confirms the change.
ISO 12155 Mode

In this mode, the display is done according to the distance values and the defined
resolution defined in ISO 12155.
The LEDs that are actuated are always only green, only yellow or only red.
WABCO Standard-Mode
In this mode, the display is slightly more detailed than in ISO 12155 mode.
By illuminating individual rows of LEDs, the object orientation can be displayed for
right-middle-left behind the vehicle for individual objects.
If the object is not clearly detected, the object that is nearest the vehicle is dis-
played in case of doubt.
In WABCO standard mode, the green and yellow LEDs are also actuated when the
distance to the object is reduced. The lighting is constantly on during the procedure.
The detailed display can only occur for the levels, in which 3 sensors are attached.
If only 2 sensors are attached in a level, completed LED rows are always displayed.
In the following table, the monitored areas and the display of the LED rows are
shown:
Object distance

Brightness control
Pressing the F1 and F4 button at the same time switches to brightness control for
the LEDs. The brightness can be set in three stages (green: dark, yellow: medium
brightness, red: maximum brightness). With buttons F2 and F5 (+/-) can be
changed between brightness settings.
If the brightness control parameter has been set to active in the TEBS E Diagnostic
Software, automatic mode with automatic light control using a photocell can be se-
lected (display in LED-Array: A) see chapter 7.1 "Parameter definition with
TEBS E Diagnostic Software", page 125 => section Trailer Remote Control Con-
figuration.

Operation with SmartBoard
Unlocking and locking the vehicle
For control of the immobilizer function, the SmartBoard is required as display and
control panel. As soon as the immobilizer is defined in the TEBS E, the respective
menu appears in the display of the SmartBoard:
Activation / Deactivation
WARNING Risk of injury

Before deactivating the immobilizer, make sure that the red button on PREV is
activated (parking brake) with the uncoupled vehicle.
Open the menu point Immobilizer.

Enter the self-defined PIN:
Jump one position further with the "Right arrow" button. Count numbers up from
0-9 with the OK button. Jump one menu up with the "Left arrow" button. If
you've landed on the fourth number position, you can confirm the entry with the
"Left arrow" button.
154
Operation TEBS E2 8
After entering the correct PIN, a confirmation window appears.
As soon as the immobilizer has been activated, the window "Immobilizer ac-
tivated" window appears. The yellow warning light also flashes in the towing
vehicle (Prerequisite: The ignition must be switched on for this). At the same
time, a message is temporarily displayed in the diagnostic memory to e.g.
provide the technician with notification of an activated immobilizer when ser-
vicing.
As soon as the immobilizer has been deactivated, the window "Immobilizer
deactivated" window appears.
Activated immobilizer Deactivated immobilizer
After the PIN has been incorrectly entered 5 times, a delay of 10 seconds must
elapse before you are allowed to enter the PIN again. Another incorrect entry will
double the duration of the delay. After 20 incorrect entries, the status of the immobi-
lizer is only possible by reallocating a PIN with the PUK.
In the TEBS E Diagnostic Software diagnostics, if the parameter

Unlock only with engaged parking brake was selected, unlocking is
only possible if the parking brake has been engaged in the towing
vehicle. If unlocking is attempted with the parking brake not engaged,
a "P" appears on the display.
Emergency release function or emergency release (only with defined func-

tion)
With the immobilizer activated, the emergency release function is available via the
SOS symbol. The emergency release function can be used 3 times and then
unlocking must be done with a PIN entry.
Open the menu point Emergency release.
155
8 TEBS E2 Operation
Push the OK button to activate the emergency release function.

A confirmation screen appears.
If the vehicle is stopped for longer than >30 seconds, the immobilizer is reac-
tivated.
Operation with Trailer Remote Control
When the immobilizer is activated, all other functions of the TRC are deactivated.
The symbol for the immobilizer flashes.
Deactivation/activation of the immobilizer with PIN entry
For example: PIN entry 4627
Actuate the immobilizer button longer than 2 seconds to start the PIN entry
mask.
You hear a beep as confirmation.
The left LED row indicates which position of the PIN is changed. You can
switch positions with the F1 button.
In the middle LED row, the value of the number of the PIN is shown and is
set with buttons F2 and F5.
If you have entered all four numbers of the PIN, confirm the entry with the im-
mobilizer button (press > 2 seconds).
You hear 2 long beeps as confirmation. The immobilizer symbol changes as
well.
Reasons for faulty activation/deactivation (4 short beeps, immobilizer symbol re-
mains unchanged):
If no entry is made within 5 seconds or the F3 button is actuated, the PIN entry
mask disappears - without saving.
The parking brake is not engaged although the parameter definition specifies
that the immobilizer can only be released if the parking brake is activated.
If the activation/deactivation of the immobilizer function is not possible because the
PUK was requested or a technical fault exists, access to the PIN entry mask is not
possible. Instead, an acoustic response occurs (4 short beeps).
Deactivation/activation of the immobilizer with saved PIN

The last entered PIN is saved in TRC.
Press the immobilizer button longer than 5 seconds.
With successful activation/deactivation, a beep occurs after 2 and 5 seconds.

9.5 Replacement and repair

General Safety Instructions
Only qualified personnel of a specialist workshop only are authorised to perform
repair work on a vehicle.
A TEBS E system training or E-Learning is necessary for replacing the TEBS E
modulator with protected parameter set. Only after obtaining the PIN 2 are you
authorised to perform the replacement see chapter 9.2 "System training", page 157.
Make sure to follow the specifications and instructions of the vehicle manufacturer.
Always comply with the company and national accident prevention/health & safety
regulations.
Use if required protective equipment.
Replacing the LIN ultrasonic sensors

When replacing the LIN ultrasonic sensors, they must be re-calibrated see chap-
ter 7.3 "Commissioning the ultrasonic sensors", page 139.
When replacing an old TEBS E modulator for one of the new generation, you profit
i.e. by the electronic expansion unit ELEX, the Trailer Remote Control TRC and
new functions such as OptiTurn, OptiLoad and the "Immobilizer".

9.6 Fine tuning

If there are wear or adjustment problems between the towing and trailer vehicles,
the TEBS E Diagnostic Software can be used for setting an advance or a delay
with the "Advance" parameter see chapter 7.1 "Parameter definition with TEBS E
Diagnostic Software", page 125 => Window TEBS - LSV.
Change the brake pressures only if the wheel brakes are good and the pads have
recently been replaced.
Test the response pressures

In order to exclude faulty wheel brake functionality, the actuation pressures have to
be checked first:
First, measure the braking forces of all axles on a roller test stand and deter-
mine the position of the individual vehicles.
For trailers the following values should be reached "unladen" and "laden":
pm = 0.7 bar = Brake begin
2,0 bar = Braking approximately 12 %
6,5 bar = Braking approximately 55 %
If the start of braking is above 0.8 bar, the threshold pressures on all the
wheel brakes must be measured.
161
Check the response pressures of all wheel brakes

Provide the vehicle with compressed air and power.
Connect the TEBS E Diagnostic Software and open menu item Control =>
Pressure test in the software, Window TEBS-E Diagnostic Software see chap-
ter 7.1 "Parameter definition with TEBS E Diagnostic Software", page 125.
Block up the vehicle (1st axle).
Simulate the bellows pressure for the laden vehicle.
Turn one wheel and increase the control pressure in 0.1 bar steps (left and right
cursor keys).
Determine the brake pressure (cylinder pressure not control pressure!) at which
the wheel becomes difficult or impossible to turn.
Repeat the test on the other wheels.
Calculate the average value of the determined response pressures and com-
pare them with the defined value, if necessary, you will have to define the newly
determined value.
Example
Defined response pressure = 0.3 bar
measured:
1. axle right = 0.6 bar; 2nd axle right = 0.5 bar; 3rd axle right = 0.5 bar
1. axle left = 0.5 bar; 2nd axle left = 0.5 bar; 3rd axle left = 0.6 bar
Average response pressures = 0.53 bar => rounded to 0.5 bar
The difference between the two values of 0.2 bar must be added to the brake pres-
sures.
In this example the laden braking pressures would be adjusted thus:
0.3 bar goes to 0.5 bar
also the unladen braking pressure of 1.3 goes to 1.5 bar
Any modifications to the control - and brake pressures may only deviate up to a
maximum of 0.2 bar from those given in the brake calculation (parameter settings
of the manufacturer). Otherwise a new brake calculation must be generated. Con-
tact your vehicle manufacturer in this case.
Setting an advance
In window TEBS - LSV in the TEBS E diagnostic software, you will find a field Pre-
dominance see chapter 7.1 "Parameter definition with TEBS E Diagnostic Soft-
ware", page 125. 0 bar is defined here as default. You can set a value up to
0.2 bar.
A positive value allows the trailer vehicle to brake earlier. A negative value causes
the trailer vehicle to brake later.
Documentation
Document the changes by a print-out of the system label sheet see chapter 7.5
"Documentation", page 143.
162
9.7 Disposal / Recycling
Do not dispose of electronic devices, batteries, or accumulators
together with household refuse. Instead it must be handed over to a
designated collection point.
Observe the national and regional regulations.
Defective WABCO brake units can be returned to WABCO to guar-
antee the best possible processing.
Return the TEBS E modulators in the box for the new or replace-
ment unit to WABCO via used-parts-return. Only this way is the
modulator protected sufficiently to be processed inexpensively.
Simply contact your WABCO partner.

10.3 Cable overview
Cable overview
Enter Overview into the search field.
In some cases the cables look very similar (a 4-pin GIO connector and the 4-pin DIN bayonet for example). How-
ever, this wide range of different cables is necessary because the components to be connected have completely
different pin assignments and the cables must not be interchanged even if they look alike. A precise identification
is necessary to rule out malfunctions and damage to components.
Colour coding for plug-in connector

The plug-in connectors are colour-coded for better orientation.
