3.10 BPW Brake Monitor
General
BPW Brake Monitor
With the BPW Brake Monitor supplementary installation
kit for our disc brakes, you can check your vehicle from
the outside at any time to see if the wear limit has been
reached.
As soon as one of the brake linings has worn down by
approx. 80 % the yellow “Warning” LED on the BPW
Brake Monitor starts fl ashing.
Once the minimum pad thickness of 2 mm has been
reached, the “Service” indicator changes to red, while
the green and yellow LEDs fl ash alternately.
The red SERVICE indicator remains visible and indicates
that the wear limit of at least one brake lining has been
reached even if you have parked the vehicle and there is Warning:
no electrical power supply to the trailer.
At least one brake lining is approx. 80 % worn down!
The brake linings should then be replaced as soon as Service:
possible.
At least one brake lining has reached the minimum
lining thickness of approx. 2 mm.
Have the linings replaced immediately!
