Safety information
Safety information
Observe all required regulations and instructions:

Read this publication thoroughly.
Adhere to all instructions, information and safety information to prevent injury to
persons and damage to property.
WABCO will only guarantee the security, reliability and performance of their
products and systems if all information in this publication is adhered to.
Make sure to follow the specifications and instructions of the vehicle manufacturer.
Maintain all accident regulations of the business as well as regional and national regulations.
Make provisions for a safe work environment:
Only trained and qualified technicians are to perform any work on the vehicle.
Use personal protective equipment if required (protective goggles, respiratory
protection, ear protectors, etc.).
Pedal actuations can lead to severe injuries if persons are in the vicinity of the vehicle. Make sure that pedals cannot be actuated as follows:
Switch the transmission to neutral and actuate the park brake.
Secure the vehicle against rolling with chocks.
Fasten a visible note to the steering wheel indicating the work is being performed on the vehicle and that the pedals are not to be actuated.
Avoid electrostatic 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.
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 between metal
parts in the towing vehicle and the coupled trailer via the coupling (king pin, fifth
wheel, claws with pins), even without a cable being connected.
Use electrically conductive bolted connections when fastening the ECUs to the
vehicle frame.
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.
For electrostatic painting, connect the ground line of the ISO 7638 plug connection (pin 4) to the paint ground (vehicle chassis).
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 plugins and connections from contamination and humidity.
Always connect the grounding electrode directly with the metal next to the welding 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.

Safety information
TEBS E
Special note when using prefabricated TEBS support modules for installation
in the vehicle:
By optimising production processes at trailer manufacturers, many prefabricated
TEBS support modules are installed in the trailer. The TEBS E Modulators as well
as many different valves are fastened to these cross-member supports. These
support modules are often painted so that when installing in the vehicles, the electrical contact between the vehicle frame and the support module has to be properly
connected again.
Ensuring the electrical contact between the support module and the vehicle frame:
Fasten the support module with electrically conductive bolted fasteners using
self-tapping screws with a conducting surface to the vehicle frame.
The resistance of the support module and the frame must be < 10 Ohm.

Braking system
The trailer vehicle is connected to the towing vehicle via two hose couplings for
supply pressure (3) and control pressure (2). The park release emergency valve
(PREV, 20) is used to conduct the control pressure to the TEBS E modulator (19).
The PREV is equipped with a red actuating button (13) for actuating the parking
brake, as well as a further black actuating button (14) for releasing the brake which
is automatically actuated when the trailer vehicle is unhitched. The compressed air
15
TEBS E
Introduction
from 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 braking 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) for the Tristop
cylinders (9). At least two rotational-speed sensors (18) 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 protection 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 exhausts 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 component 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.
Conventional air suspension system
The conventional air suspension system consists of a levelling valve (17) and a lifting/lowering valve, e.g. TASC (12) see chapter 6.4 Speed switch (ISS 1 and ISS 2)
and RTR, page 75. Both valves are supplied with supply pressure from the PEM.
The levelling valve adjusts to the normal level (ride height) of the trailer vehicle by
adjusting the amount of air in the support bellows (15). The lifting/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 modulated 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.

5.1
System design
braking system
The Trailer EBS E braking system is an electronically controlled braking system

with load-dependent braking pressure regulation, automatic antilocking system
(ABS) and electronic stability control (RSS).
Trailer vehicles equipped with a trailer EBS E braking system may only be towed by
motor vehicles with an extended ISO 7638 plug connections (7-pin; 24 volts; towing
vehicles with CAN data line) or with an ISO 7638 plug connections (5-pin, 24 volts;
towing vehicles without CAN data line).
Only with the TEBS E Multi-Voltage Modulator is a 12 V supply to ISO 7638 also
possible.
5.2
Scope of application
Vehicles
Trailer vehicles with one or more than one axle in classes O3 and O4 according to
the directive 70/156/EWG, Annex II with air suspension, hydraulic suspension, mechanical suspension, disc or drum brakes.
Braking systems
Power braking system with a pneumatic or pneumatic-hydraulic transmission system in accordance with the directive 71/320/EEC or ECE R 13 regulation or legal
regulations StVZO (applies only in Germany).
Single and dual tires
For each axle whose rotational speed is sensed, identical tire dimensions and identical numbers of pole wheel teeth must be used.
A ratio of tire circumference to number of pole wheel teeth of 23 to 39 is permissible.
Example: For a pole wheel with 100 teeth and a rolling circumference of the tire 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 vehicle or vehicle series. Speak to your WABCO partner.

Each control channel has one ABS rotational speed sensor and one
TEBS E pressure control channel. All remaining wheels of a vehicle, if
existing, are controlled indirectly; Individual brake force control (IR). In
this case, each side of the vehicle is provided with the braking pressure that is possible based on the road conditions and the brake characteristics during emergency braking.

hydraulic or mechanical suspension and a steering axle
The steering axle is supplied with the respective lower pressure from
the pressure control channels via the SLV, so that the axle remains
stable even in i-split situations (different friction on each side).

hydraulic or mechanical suspension
Two ABS rotational speed sensors are arranged on each side of the
vehicle. Each side of the vehicle is controlled individually. The braking
pressure is the same for all wheels on one side.
The two wheels on this side of the vehicle with sensors are controlled
according to the principle of modified side control (MSR). In this case,
the first wheel to lock on one side of the vehicle is the determining
factor for ABS control.
The principle of individual regulation (IR) is used for the both sides of
the vehicle.

Two ABS rotational speed sensors and an EBS relay valve are arranged on the front axle. The steering axle is controlled according to
the Modified Axle Control (MAR) principle. The wheel on the steering
axle which tends to lock up first is dominant for ABS control.
On an additional axle one ABS rotational speed sensor and one TEBS
E pressure control channel control each side separately. These
wheels are individually controlled (IR).

Multi-axle units
Axles or wheels which have no sensors fitted are controlled by directly controlled
axles or wheels. Multi-axle units require an almost identical adhesion utilisation on
these axles when braking.
If not all wheels have sensors, those axles that have the greatest tendency to lock
up need 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 axles reach the locking limit as simultaneously as possible and a directly controlled
wheel does not indirectly control more than two wheels or one axle.
Lifting axles
2S/2M: Lifting axles must not be sensed.
All other system configurations with at least 4S with the exception of drawbar trailers: Lifting axles can be fitted with ABS rotational speed sensors e-f.
2 axle vehicles with two lifting axles are supported as a 4S/2M system.
TEBS E automatically detects which axle is lifted and uses the axle on
the ground as the main axle, see chapter 6.24 Forklift control,
page 115.
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 prevent the outside wheel from locking up when braking in corners.
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 selfsteering axle, the steering axle should be switched to rigid using the speed switch
(ISS).

Vehicles with many axles and several TEBS E Modulators
On vehicles with 5 to 10 axles, two TEBS E systems can be installed using the
CAN router. A 2S/2M and a 4S/3M system can be combined in this respect.
An additional CAN router is required to integrate a third TEBS E Modulator.
All axles of a TEBS E Modulator can be lifted at the same time without
the TEBS E signalling a fault via the warning lamp, see chapter 5.8
System monitoring, page 35.
ABS configurations for internal loaders (example: Transport of sheets of
glass or concrete slabs)
These vehicles have a U-frame with no mechanical connection from the left to the
right side of the vehicle in the axle region.
The trailer modulator must be installed at the front in the vicinity of the pick-up plate
and the brake cylinders are connected using brake lines up to 10 m long.
Additional relay valves must be used to improve the response time and ABS performance.
The overview shows the configurations tested in the ABS EB123.10E certificate.
As previously, other configurations must be approved by the German Technical Inspection Agency (TV) through individual acceptance.

TEBS E
braking system
Supply
The Trailer EBS E is activated electrically via pin 2 of the ISO 7638 plug connection (terminal 15) and then supplied with power via pin 2 (terminal 30).
WARNING
Increased risk of accidents due to locking wheels as well as delayed braking

effect
If the ISO 7638 plug connection to the towing vehicle is not connected, the ABS-,
EBS- and RSS-control functions are not available.
Instruct the driver by suitable means with regard to this circumstance (e.g. adhesive label, operating instructions).
5.7.1
Function test when switching on or coupling

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 power 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: Take great care while you drive to the nearest workshop.
5.7.2
Power supply via stop light (24N)

In the event of a failure of the power supply via the ISO 7638 plug connection, the
TEBS E braking system can be supplied via an optional stop light power supply
(24N) as a safety function.
In accordance with ECE R13, an exclusive supply via the stop light is not permitted.
Please note that with the supply via 24N or ISO 12098 while travelling, the function
RSS and the GIO outputs are not active. This means that ECAS control integrated
in TEBS is also missing.
If the ECU is only supplied by the stop light while travelling in a braking procedure,
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)

Purpose
The TEBS E Modulator (multi-voltage) 480 102 080 0 can be operated with 12 V
towing vehicles as well as with 24 V towing vehicles.
TEBS E multi-voltage no longer supports the PLC communication with the towing
vehicle common in the US. This may mean that the TEBS E warnings are not displayed in the dashboard of US trucks.
Connection of the TEBS E Modulator (multi-voltage) with the tractor
For installation and use in mixed operation, an extra 12 V coded connection 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.
12 V connection socket with CAN signal (446 008 385 2 or 446 008 386 2)
Use a 5-pole (7-pole with 12 V CAN support) cable to connect the 12 V connection socket.
A 'Y' power cable must be made using a cabling box to connect the 24V and the
12V connection.
Multi-voltage capable functions
Because there is normally no CAN signal in 12 V towing vehicles, the Brake control pressure is only transferred to the trailer pneumatically.
The following components can be connected:
External pressure sensors on GIO1 or GIO3
Buttons and switch inputs (e.g. for road finisher brakes) on the GIO1-7
Brake lining wear indication (BVA) an GIO1-4 or GIO6-7
SmartBoard or IVTM on SUBSYSTEM
Different GIO functions are available, depending on the TEBS E version. 12 V
valves are connected for this purpose.

Warnings and system messages
TEBS E
Lamp signal indications after turning on the ignition

Based on ECE R 13, two reactions are permitted when switching on the ignition
and can be defined with the TEBS E Diagnostic Software.
Variant 1
The fault indicator / warning lamp in the towing vehicle illuminates after switching
the ignition on.
If no current fault is detected, the fault indicator / warning lamp goes out after
approx. 2 seconds. Trailer EBS E is operational.
If a current fault was detected, such as a sensor error, the fault indicator / warning
lamp remains on.
If a sensor fault was detected during the last drive, the warning lamp / fault indicator goes out at speeds v > 7 km/h.
If the warning lamp / fault indicator does not go out even after starting to drive, the
driver must have the fault rectified at a workshop.
Variant 2
The fault indicator / warning lamp in the towing vehicle illuminates after switching
the ignition on.
The warning lamp / fault indicator goes out at v 7km/h.
If the warning lamp / fault indicator does not go out even after starting to drive, the
driver must have the fault rectified at a workshop.
Warnings and system messages
If the amber or red fault indicator / warning lamp on the instrument panel lights up
or flashes while driving, a warning or system message is indicated.
Amber fault indicator / warning lamp: Controlled by pin 5 of the ISO 7638 plug
connection and via CAN bus
Red fault indicator / warning lamp: Controlled via the CAN bus of the ISO 7638
plug connection
Any events that occur during operation are stored in the Trailer EBS E and can be
read out in the workshop using the TEBS E Diagnostic Software.
The fault indicator / warning lamp must be monitored by the driver.
If the fault indicator / warning lamps are illuminated, a visit to the workshop is necessary. The instructions on the display must be observed if applicable.
The faults are displayed according to the fault's priority level. The priority level of
the faults is grouped into five classes:
Class 0: Minor, temporary faults are indicated by an amber fault indicator / warning
lamp.
Class 1: Medium severity, which cause partial functions (e.g. ABS) to be deactivated, are indicated by an amber fault indicator / warning lamp.
Class 2: Severe faults in the braking system are indicated by a red fault indicator /
warning lamp.
Class 3: Minor faults that can cause deactivation of GIO functions (such as speed
signal) are indicated by the amber fault indicator / warning lamp flashing after the
respective function is engaged.
Class 4: Minor faults that can cause deactivation of GIO functions (such as the
remote control unit). There is no indication through the fault indicator / warning
lamp.

TEBS E
braking system
Warning signal sequences in the case of power supply via ISO 1185 / ISO 12098
The power supply via ISO 1185 (24N, light) or ISO 12098 is provided as a safety
function in order to maintain important control functions in the event of a power
supply failure from the ISO 7638 plug connection.
If the ISO 7638 plug connection fails completely, warning via pin 5 is not possible.
If the connection via pin 5 is intact, the fault indicator / warning lamp is actuated
and the driver is warned.
Warning signal sequences in the event of unspecified faults in accordance with ECE R 13
Following the switching on procedure and the warning indicator / warning lamp test,
the fault indicator / warning lamp will flash in the event of non-specified faults in accordance with ECE regulations.
The fault indicator / warning lamp is no longer illuminated when the vehicle's speed
exceeds 10 km/h.
The following states can cause the fault indicator / warning lamp to flash:
Immobilizer activated
Electronic parking brake activated
Service interval reached (BVA brake lining wear indicator)
Brake lining worn
Current class 3 faults (e.g. ECAS faults)
Loss of tire pressure (IVTM)
Warning signal with ignition on without detecting motion
TEBS E switches the warning lamp / warning indicator on 30 minutes after the ignition has been turned on if no speed is detected via the wheel sensors. This function results in incorrect messages when on a trailer with many axles and several
TEBS E all axles of one TEBS E are lifted.
With TEBS E4 or higher. tab 8, General functions can be used to configure by means of parameters that TEBS E only signals a warning if
no wheel speed is detected even though an axle load is detected.
Alternatively the previous function (warning after 30 minutes) can be
set.
Supply pressure monitoring
Application
Integrated function in the TEBS E Modulator.
Purpose
Monitoring the supply pressure by TEBS E.
Function
Fault indicator / warning lamp: If the supply pressure drops below 4.5 bar in the
trailer vehicle, the driver is warned by the fault indicator / warning lamp (red and
amber) switching on. If this is the case while in motion, a message is also saved in
the diagnostic memory. The fault indicator / warning lamp only goes out if the supply pressure exceeds 4.5 bar again.
36
braking system
WARNING
TEBS E
Risk of accidents caused by low supply pressure (< 4.5 bar)

The vehicle can no longer be braked by means of the service brake. If the pressure at the coupling head is below 2.5 bar, the vehicle is automatically braked by
the spring chambers.
As soon as the fault indicator / warning lamp (red and amber) is illuminated, the
vehicle must be stopped and parked in a safe location.
The pressure supply must be checked and a repair service must be called
when necessary.
5.8.2
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.
Fault indicator / warning lamp: The driver is notified of the system status by an illuminated red fault indicator / warning lamp.

5.9
TEBS E
braking system
Brake functions
With no power supply, the control pressure is sent directly to the brake cylinders
via the yellow coupling head. The backup valve, integrated in the TEBS E modulator and separates the control pressure from the pressure control circuits in normal
operation, remains open.
When the Trailer EBS E is functional, the backup valve is pressurised at the beginning of a braking procedure and therefore the control line from the yellow coupling
head is disconnected from the pressure control of the Trailer EBS E modulator.
Now, based on the nominal value recognition and then load, the pressure regulation is controlled via the pressure control circuit.
5.9.1
Nominal value detection

The braking request issued by the driver is referred to as the nominal value.
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 via the trailer interface, e.g. when operating the
trailer vehicle behind a towing vehicle with a convention braking system, a nominal
value is created by measuring the control pressure on the yellow coupling head.
This is either done via the nominal value pressure sensor that is integrated in the
TEBS E Modulator or installed externally. The external nominal value pressure
sensor is especially recommended with exceptionally long trailer vehicles to exclude the delay caused by long lines.
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.
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
status is determined by measuring the compression travel with one height sensor
or two height sensors see chapter 5.9.2 Load Sensing Valve (LSV), page 40.
Nominal value via CAN with 12 V

For TEBS E2 it can be configured whether or not the data from the
CAN bus should be ignored when the supply voltage is less than 16 V.
Activation is done via tab 8, General functions.

Load Sensing Valve (LSV)
1-circuit Axle load determination

Vehicle type
Trailers with all suspension types.
Purpose
Trailer EBS E includes a load-dependent braking pressure control, with which the
braking pressure is adapted to the load status. Characteristic curves are stored
based on the braking calculations via the parameter settings.
The current load status is determined by sensing the air-suspension bellows pressure, the hydraulic pressure, by evaluating the compression travel with mechanical
suspension or derived from the rotational speed differentials of the wheel speeds in
two axles sensed with rotational speed.
Semitrailers and drawbar trailers are controlled differently.
2-circuit Axle load determination (right/left)
Vehicle type
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 a second External
axle load sensor c-d.
Determining the axle loads
The axle load of main axle c-d can be determined with the following options:
Measuring the air spring pressure with a pressure sensor integrated in the
modulator with air-suspension vehicles
Measuring the air spring bellows pressure using an external pressure sensor for
air/hydraulically suspended vehicles (External axle load sensor c-d)
Measuring the compression travel with a height sensor for mechanically suspended 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
Measuring the compression travel with a height sensor for mechanically suspended vehicles (External axle load sensor e-f)
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 and less than 50 % of the defined
empty bellows pressure (always the lower value), the LSV characteristic curve
Laden is controlled because the vehicle frame is probably resting on the buffer of
the axle and no reliable conclusion can be drawn regarding the load status.
40
braking system
TEBS E
Characteristic curves
Semitrailer
Drawbar trailer
A = Application range; W = Wear range; S = Stability range

In this example, the nominal value or control pressure
(pm) increases in the application range from 0 bar to
0.7 bar. With this control pressure, the braking pressure
(pcyl) 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, being the
response pressure of the entire trailer brake, can be set
in the parameters within EC braking bands.
The braking band indicates, in which range the deceleration (in %) must be situated at a certain control
pressure pm.
As the sequence continues, the braking 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. Afterwards, the braking pressure is reduced relative to the load.
The response pressures of the brakes are once again

output at the limit of the application 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 ensures that the load
is distributed evenly between all wheel brakes and is
more exact 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.
41
TEBS E
braking system
Parameter setting
The LSV data is entered via tab 3, Brake data.
Generally, the definition of a linear characteristic is sufficient.
In special cases a special characteristic can be defined by means of an additional
characteristic point.
By default, three values are preset:
Application range
Pressure at the yellow coupling head
(Control pressure or nominal value)
p 0.7 bar
Calculated deceleration of the vehicle
0%
Wear range
Transition range
(optional)
Stability range
0,7 bar < p 2.0 bar 2,0 bar < p 4,5 bar 4,5 bar < p 6.5 bar
at 2 bar: 12,6 %
at 4.5 bar: 37 %
at 6.5 bar: 56,5 %
The braking pressure level control is adapted proportionally to the measured vehicle load.
The aim is to achieve a deceleration of 55 % during all loading conditions and
when the pressure at the yellow coupling head (control pressure or nominal value)
is 6.5 bar.
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 = 4.5 bar
Various manufacturers supply matching pressure sensors, such as WIKA (Model
894.24.540 with measuring range of hydraulic pressure 25 to 1000 bar) or Hydac
(pressure transducers HDA4400, range of measurement 250bar).
Next to the pressure range, the pin assignment on the electrical port must be
checked.
Example
Hydraulic bellows pressure unladen = 50 bar
Hydraulic bellows pressure laden = 125 bar
The pressure input for the TEBS E LSV parameters laden and unladen is sought
after.
Default
Search for hydraulic pressure sensor, which corresponds with the measuring range
from 125 bar.
Hydraulic pressure sensor: 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
Calculation
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
Conversion of the hydraulic pressure into the pneumatic reference
pressure is carried out in the TEBS E Diagnostic Software and simplifies the setting of parameters.
Deviations in the calculation of the parameter values are also produced by rounding or down within the binary numeric system.

Vehicle type
Vehicles with leaf-spring suspension (mechanical suspension).
Purpose
Determining the axle loads
Function
The axle load information for the LSV function is derived from the compression
travel of the axle combination. ECAS height 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.

5.9.3
Pressure control
The pressure control circuits take the set point pressures specified by the LSV
function 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 nominal 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 predominance and Predominance via CAN

Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)
Vehicle type
All trailers
Purpose
Prevents locking one or more wheels.
Function
The ABS control logic determines from the wheel rotation speed whether one
wheel or more wheels can be locked and decides whether to decrease, maintain,
or increase the braking pressure on it.
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 5.4 ABS configurations, page 24) additional
brake cylinders for other axles can be connected to the existing modulators, besides the brake cylinders on the wheels with sensors. These indirectly controlled
wheels do not send any information to the TEBS E. Consequently it is not possible
to guarantee that these wheels will not lock.
Semitrailers, central axle trailers and dolly
The main axle, which is not allowed to be a lifting, steering- or tag axle, always has
the c-d ABS rotational speed sensors. The e-f ABS rotational speed sensors are fitted on the other axle or on the semitrailer axles that can be lifted.
As of TEBS E4 there is exception in the regard for 2-axle central axle
vehicles with 2 lifting axles. Here one or the other lifting axle can be
raised to balance the vehicle in the event of an uneven load. The respectively other axle then becomes the main axle.
Drawbar trailer
The axles with sensors are not allowed to be either a lifting or tag axle with c-d
ABS rotational speed sensors or e-f ABS rotational speed sensors. The c-d ABS
rotational speed sensors must always 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 lifting axles is read by the ABS control logic. This means that lifting axles with sensors no longer causes speeds to decrease under ABS control. If
the lifting axle is raised, speed information from this axle is not considered when
controlling.
Tire sizes
For optimum function of the ABS control logic it is necessary to parameterise the
installed tire dimensions.
A deviation to the defined tire dimensions of +15 % / -20 % is permissible if this affects all wheels with sensors to the same extent. An individual wheel may only deviate from the parameterised tire dimension by a maximum of 6.5 %.
Parameter setting
The tire size is entered via tab 3, Brake data.

TEBS E
Roll Stability Support (RSS)

Trailers of class O4 with up to 3 axles with air suspension, which are certified as of
July 2010, must be equipped with a stabilisation function according to European
legal requirements. RSS is mandatory as of July 2011 when certifying a vehicle for
the first time. With WABCO RSS, all legal requirements concerning safety and traffic are met.
Vehicle type
Purpose
Roll Stability Support is a function integrated into the EBS, which introduces the
brake application as a preventative measure when there is a danger of tipping, to
stabilise 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 a lateral acceleration 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 lateral acceleration critical for tilting is exceeded in
the trailer. The duration and magnitude of the pressure depend on the lateral acceleration sequence.
The risk of overturning is detected on the basis of the wheel reaction of the wheels
braked during a test. If a danger of tilting is detected, brake application at high
pressure is initiated in the trailer vehicle at least on the individually controlled (IR)
outside wheels in order to reduce the vehicle speed, lateral acceleration, and
therefore the danger of tilting or to prevent overturning. The braking pressure for
the wheels on the inside of the curve is largely unchanged. As soon as there is no
danger of tipping, the RSS brake application 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.
RSS control is started in unbraked or partially braked driving mode. 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 nominal braking value for the trailer
while an RSS control is taking place, and this is higher than the RSS control, the
RSS control is interrupted and the respective nominal value 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,

4S/2M+1M or 2S/2M+SLV
The MAR axle generally brakes with lower or equal

pressure to ABS control (for the cornering stability of
adhesion-steered axles).
Drawbar trailer with 4S/3M
Semitrailer without trailing steering axle or central axle

trailer with 4S/3M or 4S/2M+1M
During RSS control, the behaviour of the wheel on the

inside of the curve is not considered in the ABS logic.
As long as the inside wheel of the MAR axle is not yet

lifted, the MAR axle will be braked with low pressure in
order to avoid tire flat spots.
If the inside wheel of the MAR axle lifts, i.e. indicates a

tendency to lock up at low pressure, the pressure increases depending 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.
RSS on vehicles with adhesion-steered steering axle is

only possible with adjacent system configurations.
An adhesion-steered trailing steering axle must be

clicked on in the TEBS E Diagnostic Software.
Vehicles with adhesion-steered steering axle with

2S/2M+SLV (Steering axle controlled via a Select Low
Valve), 4S/2M+1M or 4S/3M+EBS/ABS (Steering axle

Setting the sensitivity of the RSS function for vehicles where tilting is critical
The sensitivity of the RSS function can be set in the TEBS E Diagnostic Software.
Several TEBS E in a special vehicle or a road train that communicate
with one another via CAN routers, coordinate their RSS interventions.
This increases the stability of the vehicle combination.

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 increase of braking pressure is applied up to the characteristic curve of the laden vehicle 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.
5.9.9
Test mode
Application
Integrated function in TEBS E Modulator.
Purpose
Checking the LSV characteristic curve in a 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 electronic braking system into test mode.
The standstill function and the emergency braking function are switched on
as soon as the vehicle is moving.
As soon as the vehicle exceeds 10 km/h, the test mode ends.
Vehicle laden simulation
The Laden status can be simulated when the vehicle is unladen by depressurising
the support bellows (< 0.15 bar) or lowering the vehicle onto buffers. Corresponding with the safety function Vehicle on buffer, the full braking pressures are produced.
Mechanical suspension: Unhook the linkage for the height sensor and turn the
lever to the position that corresponds with the spring-deflected vehicle.
Simulation by diagnosis
The TEBS E Diagnostic Software can be used to simulate these safety functions
via the Control menu.

5.10 ECU-internal functions

5.10.1 Odometer
Vehicle type
Purpose
The Trailer EBS E is equipped with an integrated odometer which measures the
distance travelled during operation. The precision is determined with the tire size
relative to the defined tire size.
The odometer requires operating voltage. If the TEBS E is not supplied with voltage, the odometer does not work either and is therefore not secure against tampering.
If a SmartBoard is installed, the distance travelled is also recorded here - independently of the TEBS E. This odometer keeps working even when the TEBS E is
not supplied with voltage.
Since the odometer in TEBS E counts the average values of all wheels, whereby
the odometer in the SmartBoard counts distance on wheel sensor c, different tire
circumferences (tire wear) can cause the odometer to vary.
No Y-cable is necessary for connecting the wheel sensor c to the SmartBoard,
since the connection is already integrated in the SmartBoard cable.
The following individual functions are possible:
Total odometer
The total odometer records the entire distance covered since initial installation of
the TEBS E system. This value is saved regularly and is read via the TEBS
E Diagnostic Software or via the SmartBoard (Sub-menu Odometer).
Daily odometer
The trip odometer can determine the distance travelled between two service intervals or within a specific time span.
Reading and deleting the daily odometer is possible e.g. with the TEBS E Diagnostic Software or the SmartBoard.
No special calibration of the trip odometer is necessary. A calibration factor is calculated on the basis of the tire tread circumferences and the number of teeth of the
pole wheel from the EBS parameters.
Parameter setting
Tire circumference and number of teeth on the pole wheel are entered in tab 3,
Brake data.
When a modulator is replaced the odometer reading of the new unit
can be increased to adjust it to the mileage of the vehicle.
Reducing the odometer reading is not possible. The settings are made
via the TEBS E Diagnostic Software using the Tools, Increase odometer reading.

5.10.2 Service signal

Vehicle type
All trailers
Purpose
The service signal is there to remind the driver that service work is due to be performed.
Fault indicator / warning lamp: When the vehicle has covered a defined distance
(e.g. 100,000 km), the warning indication / warning lamp (amber) 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 notices is stored in the operating data recorder 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.
Parameter setting
The service signal is not active in the factory default settings of the TEBS E Modulator.
Activation and entering the interval is done via tab 8, General functions.
5.10.3 ServiceMind
Vehicle type
All trailers
Purpose
The GIO operating hours counter (ServiceMind) sums up the operating times of
monitored GIO input signals and the outputs switched by the TEBS E (e.g. ECAS
stand-by times).
Fault indicator / warning lamp: Upon achieving the predefined operating times,
an even (service notice) can be started and can be displayed via the TEBS E Diagnostic Software or SmartBoard. Optionally, the event can also be output via the
fault indicator / warning lamp (amber, ABS) or via an external warning lamp attached to the trailer. As soon as the service notice is displayed, the respective service should be performed on the vehicle.
Parameter setting
The ServiceMind input is entered via tab 8, General functions.
Service name: You can assign a name to display in the SmartBoard for the monitoring function.
Service interval (hours): Enter a sensible interval time for the selected component/function here.
Service interval can be reset: The right to reset the service interval on the start
page in the TEBS E Diagnostic Software (Tools, Service interval) here or via the
SmartBoard. The counter can always be reset via the TEBS E Diagnostic Software.
Service interval can be changed: Here the right can be granted to reset the service
interval on the start page in the TEBS E Diagnostic Software (Tools, Service interval) or via the SmartBoard.
Input signal, Internal signal: Here you can use the dropdown menu to assign the
corresponding GIO function to the internal signal (see table below). You can define
whether the operating time of the function should be recorded when it is active or
inactive.

5.10.4 Axle load output

Axle loads can be output to the towing vehicle via the CAN ports, to the SmartBoard / Trailer Remote Control via SUBSYSTEMS.
The display in the towing vehicle depends on the support or activation of the
Trailer axle load display function. TEBS E generally provides this information.
In the case of vehicles with mechanical suspension, however, the accuracy is restricted by the construction.
The axle load is not output and is not stored in the operating data record (ODR) if
the following conditions apply:
Drawbar trailer with only one axle load sensor on the axle c-d.
Vehicles with lifting axles that are not controlled by TEBS E (mechanical control,
control via Trailer Central Electronic or external ECAS).
On semitrailers with a tag axle and no additional pressure sensor.
For drawbar trailers with 4S/3M, an additional pressure sensor must be installed on
a support bellow of the second axle to detect the axle loads.
An additional axle load sensor can be installed on semitrailers with 4S/2M+1M and
4S/3M to increase the precision of the measurement. In the absence of additional
axle load sensors, the single axle load is distributed evenly over all axles.
The installation of an additional axle load sensor is described in the following chapter, see chapter 6.8 External axle load sensor, page 81.
Transfer of the axle load to the towing vehicle via CAN is configured as default in
the TEBS E and can be displayed in the dashboards of most towing vehicles.
If in the case of trailers with two axle load sensors the loading state output is not
indicated correctly in the towing vehicle, the transfer of the CAN messages can be
adjusted.
52
braking system
TEBS E
Parameter setting
The set values are defined via tab 8, General functions.
EBS22: No message with the total load from the sum of the single axles is transmitted to the towing vehicle.
RGE22: The individual loads of the axles are not transmitted to the towing vehicle.
Transmission of both messages is the default setting.
In some towing vehicles faults can occur if the transmitted data appears implausible. One of the messages should be deactivated where this is the case.
Calibration of the axle load output
In order to attain higher precision for the axle load output, the output can be calibrated via the SmartBoard. The calibrated value is transferred to the towing vehicle
via the ISO 7638 port and also displayed on the SmartBoard.
For calibration, an additional characteristic curve based on the weights of an
unladen, partially laden and fully laden vehicle. A 3-point characteristic curve is
stored in TEBS E. A detailed description can be found in the SmartBoard System description see chapter 4 Introduction, page 12 => More information section.
The calibration procedure has been improved so that a message is not
stored in the diagnostic memory in the event of a failed calibration.
Optionally 1, 2 or 3 points can be calibrated. Each value can be
changed separately, significantly improving the accuracy of the indication.
Once a value has been calibrated it is immediately integrated in the characteristic
curve for the axle load output. The calibrated minimum/maximum values may only
deviate up to max 20 % from the characteristic curve defined by LSV.
The calibrated values for the unladen, partially laden and laden vehicle must not be
below a defined minimum distance from one another (minimum of 10 %).
The bellows pressure changes slightly when the vehicle height is changed. Prior to
calibration, the vehicle height should therefore be adjusted to the height subsequently relevant for the axle load output. Generally this will be the normal level.
Because the air bellows' properties change over the service life, a recalibration
may be required.
Please note that a calibration already started via the SmartBoard must also be concluded, otherwise a fault message is issued.
Fault indicator / warning lamp: Optionally it is also possible to program the unit in
the SmartBoard so that the fault indicator / warning lamp (red) flashes on the
SmartBoard when the axle load reaches 90 % and 100 % to indicate the danger of
overloading, when loading particulate material for example.

TEBS E
The ODR data can be protected from deletion by a user-defined password. The
password can be assigned by the TEBS E Diagnostic Software (ODR, password
management).
Statistical data
The statistical data is stored as sums or mean values throughout the unit's service
life or starting from the last time the Operating Data Recorder (ODR) was erased.
Statistical data is:
Operating hours
Number of trips
Average load
Overload counter (trips)
Average braking pressure
Number of brake actions
Number of brake applications with pressure on yellow coupling head (without
CAN connection)
Number of braking applications in 24N operation
Number of brake applications with anti-jackknifing brake
Number of park brake actuations
Odometer and operating hours since the brake linings were last replaced
Data pertaining to air suspension system and lifting axle activation
Number of RSS brake applications or critical lateral acceleration

55
TEBS E
braking system
Histogram
Measured values relating to braking pressures, axle loads and speeds are constantly captured during operation.
Histograms represent the frequency of events with the respective measured values.
This enables one, for instance, to determine whether the driver applied the brake in
a forward-thinking manner, softly or rather more sharply on the basis of the distribution of brake actions in classified braking pressure ranges.
The following histograms can be retrieved:
Aggregate load (sum of all axles)
Recording the kilometres travelled per combined

multi-axle class
Axle load (axle load for one axle)
Recording the kilometres travelled per combined

axle load class
Braking time
Recording the braking time per class and the maximum occurring pressure
Control pressure
Recording the braking requests per class and the

maximum occurring pressure
Braking pressure
Recording the executed braking pressures per class
A detailed description of the histograms can be obtained from the ODR Tracker
operating instructions, see chapter 4 Introduction, page 12 => More information
section.
Event recorder
The event recorder stores the number of events (a maximum of 200), i.e. braking
system events.
Each event is saved in the TEBS E Modulator, together with the time of occurrence
(only in SmartBoard) and the odometer reading at that time.
Such events can include:
ABS interventions
RSS interventions
Warning display illuminated
Messages
Manual deactivation of TailGUARD
Immobilizer events
events definable by GIO parameter settings (e. g. if a connected door contact
switch indicates the opening of a door)
Up to 700 events are stored and these also include any diagnostic
messages.

GIO functions
This chapter describes functions that can be created using the GIO ports of the
TEBS E Modulator and other components. Normally, a TEBS E modulator (Premium) is required for these functions, see chapter 4.2 Overview of functions,
page 19..
Introduction to GIO
GIO means Generic Input/Output and designates programmable inputs and outputs.
The Standard variant of the Trailer EBS E Modulator has 4 GIO slots, the Premium
variant has 7 GIO slots.
It is possible to use the GIO functions to activate various additional functions in the
trailer modulator.
More GIO slots are made available via the ELEX electronic expansion
module , see chapter 7.1 Electronic expansion module (ELEX),
page 126, to enable additional components to be connected.
The standard functions are allocated (preset) with the TEBS E Diagnostic Software.
Many are multi-use functions (e.g. integrated lifting axle control, speed switch ISS,
steady positive voltage).
The parameter settings can be used to assign different functions to the GIO slots.
Parameter definitions can also be used for choosing whether cable breaks should
be monitored on outputs for safety reasons. If a load is connected to a GIO output
with no parameterised function, a fault is detected.
All GIO slots have at least one switching output (power stage) and one ground contact. The other two pins are assigned differently. The implication is that not all functions can be utilised on all slots to the same extent, see chapter 12.2 Pin assignment TEBS E Modulators and ELEX, page 195. The maximum charge for all GIO
switching outputs is 1.5 A.
GIO functions are available if the system is supplied with sufficient voltage and is
fault-free.
GIO power stage
The GIO power stage can be used to switch electrical charges (e.g. solenoid
valves, lights).
The GIO power stages can also be used as inputs. Whether a switch has an open
circuit or is switched to ground can be sensed this way. 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 the
pressure sensor) or to detect signals from buttons.
GIO height sensor input
ECAS height sensors can be connected to the GIO height sensor inputs for internal
level control or, in the case of mechanical-suspension vehicles, for sensing the
compression rebound as a means of determining the axle load.

GIO functions
6.1
TEBS E
Vehicle type
Trailer vehicle with one lifting axle or multiple lifting axles.
Lifting axle control in drawbar trailer
With a 3-axle drawbar trailer, it is possible to use axle 2 or 3 as a lifting 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
Lifting one axle of the partially laden or unladen vehicle reduces tire wear, particularly while driving around curves.
Function
Control of the lifting axles via TEBS E depending on the current axle load and the
current load status.
Several lifting axles of a vehicle can be controlled jointly or separately.
The driving speed at which it is still permitted to lift the lifting axle(s) can be set.
The sequence in which the axles are lifted can be set in the parameter settings.
Parameters are set for the pressure applied for lifting and lowering the lifting axle.
The 1st lifting axle is always lifted first, then the second lifting axle.
The TEBS E Diagnostic Software provides intelligent bellows pressure values for
the lifting axle control. However, these suggestions can 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 towing
vehicle equipment is installed.
The bellows and supply pressure are checked in TEBS E1 or later.
The lifting 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 lifting axles is also integrated when
lifting or lowering to prevent a so-called yo-yo effect. This yo-yo effect
always occurs if the pressure difference between lifting/lowering pressure is < 1.0 bar.
This pressure difference is checked by the TEBS E Diagnostic Software on entry and an appropriate message is provided when entering
the parameter.
If the ISO 7638 power 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 lifting axle control.
Only if ISO 7638 power supply is guaranteed and v = 0 km/h, will the
lifting axle control work correctly.
Setting the behaviour of the lifting axle when the ignition is
switched off
With a spring returned lifting axle valve (LACV), the lifting axle is always lowered when the ignition is turned off. With a pulse-controlled
lifting axle valve, the lifting axle can remain in lifted position.
Up to three pulse-controlled valves can be controlled in parallel on the

TEBS E Modulator.
59
TEBS E
GIO functions
Lifting axle design types

Pulse-controlled: The valve has two solenoids that can be used, apart from
charging and venting, to effect a holding position to partially relieve the lifting axle.
Spring-returned: The lifting axle is lowered or lifted without intermediate positions.
If the voltage is switched off, the lifting axle is lowered.
Single-circuit or dual-circuit: With the dual-circuit valves the support bellows for
the lifting axles are connected separately (by side) with the other support bellows.
These valves are required for soft or split axles. Due to the stiffness of the axles
typical for trailers, the simpler single-circuit lifting axle systems are now prevalent.
Here the two support bellows of the lifting axle are directly connected to one another.

TEBS E
Vehicle type
Semitrailer with tag axles / trailing steering axles.
Semitrailer with tag axles and OptiTurn/ OptiLoad function see chapter 6.9 Dynamic wheelbase control, page 82.
Purpose
When using tag axles, the bellows should not be completely depleted of air, otherwise parts of the air bellows will rub against one another (wrinkling the bellows)
and cause damage.
The integrated function helps avoid tire damage, increased tire wear and possible
damage to the bellows by using a residual pressure maintenance in the support
bellows.
Installation
With tag axles, the wheel speed must be sensed and braking controlled via a separate modulator.
WABCO recommendation: Brake the tag axle using an EBS relay valve (4S/3M
system).
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 lifting axle valve (LACV-IC) must also be
used.
It is not possible to use spring-returned lifting axle valves.
Parameter setting
An axle must be defined as a tag axle via tab 2, Vehicle.
The residual tag axle pressure is then defined via tab 5, Lifting axle control. The
residual pressure can be set as a value greater than 0.3 bar.

6.3
TEBS E
GIO functions
Integrated electronically controlled air suspension system (ECAS)
Vehicle type
All trailer vehicles with air suspension.
It is possible to implement two control circuits (1-point or 2-point control as of version TEBS E2).
System designs:
Semitrailer, central axle trailer: 1-point control or 2-point control as side control in
vehicles with independent wheel suspension.
Drawbar trailer: 2-point control for front and rear axle.
Purpose
The ECAS basic function is the compensation of level changes, which e.g. occur
from changes in the load status or with new nominal value definitions (e.g. from the
remote control 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 level control.
The essential benefit of ECAS lies in the reduced air consumption and faster control when stationary. While a levelling valve only controls the normal level, ECAS
can keep every level constant.
Function
A height sensor is mounted on the vehicle body and is connected to its axle via a
lever system. The height sensor picks up the distance between the axle and the
vehicle body. The intervals depend on the vehicle's operating condition (driving or
loading operation).
This measured value is used as the actual value in the control loop and is sent to
the ECU. 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 nominal value (control 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 support bellow. The change in pressure in the
support bellow alters the distance between the axle and the vehicle body. The new
distance is also picked up by the height sensor, and the cycle begins again.

eTASC
eTASC combines the solenoid valve functions of electronically controlled air suspension (ECAS) and the manual lever operation of a conventional air suspension
system with rotary slide valve (combination of TASC and ECAS solenoid valve).
The front and rear axles of drawbar trailers are controlled by using two eTASC devices. Lateral control with two eTASC devices on semitrailers is not permitted.
The following functions described below are subject to power supply ISO 7638 and
ignition switched on.
Lifting
By manually turning the lever counter-clockwise, the bellows are pressurized resulting in raising the body of the vehicle. After lifting has stopped (stop position)
Trailer EBS E will detect the new nominal (current) level. This nominal level is set
to default until next time the operator changes it, - or until next time the ignition is
switched off, - or until vehicle starts driving again.
Lowering
By turning the lever clockwise, the bellows are de-pressurized and the body of the
vehicle will be lowered (venting through eTASC).
Device variant Dead-Man's Safety System: After taking hand off the lever, it
automatically returns to the Stop position. Trailer EBS E will now recognise the
current level as the new nominal level. This nominal level is set to default until next
time operator change demand, - or until next time the ignition is switched off, - or
until vehicle starts driving again.
Device variant Lock in lowering: If the lever is turned counter-clockwise until
lock position. After taking hand off the lever, it remains in Lowering position. As a
result the vehicle body will be lowered until reaching air bellow buffer level (internal
air bellow mechanical stop). Assuming the operator does not intervene, the lever
will only return to Stop automatically, when vehicle starting to drive, triggered by
Trailer EBS E sending signal to eTASC for return to normal ride level (Return to
Ride function).
Device variant Lock in lifting: If the lever is turned clockwise until lock position.
After taking hand off (let go) the lever, it remains in Lifting position. As a result the
vehicle will be lifted until reaching the calibrated maximum height level. Without
power supply it is possible to start lifting the vehicle (turn lever clockwise until lock
position) until reaching mechanical stop (shock absorber max. stroke, suspension
stroke limitation cables, - or pneumatic air supply cut off through a height limitation
valve. At the start of driving, the lever automatically returns to Stop and Trailer
EBS E sending signal to eTASC for return to normal ride level (Return to Ride
function).
Behaviour with ignition off / Vehicle uncoupled
During ignition off or trailer uncoupled, all functions described above are operated in the same manner as with the ignition turned on. The system is working
purely mechanically controlled and no automatic adjustments will be performed by
eTASC (no electrical power supply) during loading or unloading.
RtR function is only available when the vehicle is power supplied via ISO 7638, and
subject to speed signal reading at Trailer EBS E. If power is supplied via ISO 1185
(24N), RtR will only be working for the duration of brake actuation (apply brake
pedal) during driving (speed signal must be recognized by Trailer EBS E).

Height limitation
With eTASC, the vehicle can be lowered or lifted even when the ignition is turned
off. In this case the manual change of height is not electronically monitored, hence
the automatic ECAS height limitation does not work.
It is recommended to install a pneumatic height limitation valve 964 001 002 0.
This valve cuts off the pneumatic air supply between air reservoir and eTASC
valve upon reaching the predefined mechanical settings.
Installation of eTASC
Information on installation, see chapter 8.9 Installation of eTASC, page 164.
Height sensors
With 2-point control using TEBS E and ELEX:
Height sensors are subject to the following options for installation and parameter
settings:
1. One height sensor is connected to TEBS E, another height sensor is connected
to ELEX.
2. Both height sensors are connected to ELEX.
3. Both height sensors are connected to TEBS E (from TEBS E4).

6.3.1
Nominal level control
Nominal level
The nominal level is the nominal 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 support 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)
69
TEBS E
GIO functions
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 normal
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.
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 adjusted 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 ignition is switched off, no further nominal level control occurs when the ignition is
switched off.
By using the speed signal the electronic level control system differentiates between
static and dynamic changes in the load, unlike conventional air suspension systems. A level change is adjusted with a delay while driving. Otherwise readjusting
the vehicle would waste compressed air in certain conditions - when the suspension is compressed on roads with potholes for example.

6.3.2
Static wheel load change
Dynamic wheel load change
Dynamic wheel load changes are caused

by road irregularities at higher speeds.
The wheel load changes on an uphill or

downhill stretch, which affects the control
performance.
At load change
When stationary
At low vehicle speeds
Check the actual value and

make correction by pumping
up or deflating the respective
air suspension bellows in
short intervals (1x per second) with the electronic level
control Extended ECAS
parameters, control delay.
Dynamic wheel load changes are usually

balanced by the compliance behaviour of the
support bellows. In this case, bellow charging
or venting would not be desirable because
only the bellow that is isolated has almost
constant suspension properties.
When the excess air is exhausted from the
bellow during rebound action, it must be replaced again during compression which increases compressor load and fuel consumption. For this reason, the regulation is checked
in larger intervals when the vehicle is moving
at higher speed - usually every 60 seconds.
The comparison of actual value to the nominal
value is made continuously.
Because not every unevenness on the road is
compensated, e.g. when driving on roads in
bad condition, less air is consumed by the
electronic air suspension than by conventional
level control systems with levelling valve.
Normal level
Normal 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).
Normal 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.
70
GIO functions
TEBS E
Driving normal level is described as the basic design parameter for the vehicle.
Normal level II
Normal level II is defined as the difference to driving level I (normal level). If normal
level II is lower than normal level I, this value must be entered as a negative in the
TEBS E Diagnostic Software.
Application
If the semi trailer is operated behind different towing vehicles (with different platform heights) the body can be set level.
Normal level III
Normal level III is a normal level like normal level II but it corresponds with the
maximum body height and is therefore the highest normal level.
Normal level III could only be selected by the speed previously. As of
version TEBS E2, the selection is now possible by the ECAS remote
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 assumption that higher speeds are achieved on sound road surfaces which do not
require the whole of the bellows' spring stroke to be utilised.
Normal level IV
Whether the unloading level or an additional normal level IV function
should be used is selected by parameter settings.
Unloading level
The unloading level is only actuated when stationary or at low speed for easier
unloading of the vehicle. When the speed is achieved, the last saved level is readjusted 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
Example: The switch is attached on a tipping body, the vehicle will then lower
automatically to 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.
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.
71
TEBS E
GIO functions
Parameter for unloading level

There are 2 parameters for the unloading level in the TEBS E Diagnostic 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 SmartBoard, the Trailer Remote Control, the ECAS control box and the
ECAS remote control unit.
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 normal level IV (normal level IV) can be used. It is also
possible to run switch inputs for normal level I, normal level II or normal 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.
Application
Repeating loading operation on a ramp with height defined one time.
An ECAS remote control unit or the SmartBoard is required to request the memory
function.
More information on the operating capabilities for levels see chapter 10 Operation,
page 172.

Green warning lamp
Vehicle type
All trailer vehicles with ECAS.
Purpose
Indication of ECAS faults (light flashes).
Indication if the trailer is outside the normal level (lamp is permanently on).
Function
If the light is on permanently, there is a deviation between the currently selected
normal level and the physical ride height of the vehicle. The level can be changed
using the SmartBoard, the ECAS-control box/remote control unit, the Trailer Remote Control or the Lifting/Lowering buttons.
Move the vehicle back to normal level if necessary. The selected normal level is
the reference level.
Move the vehicle at a speed greater than the parameterised RTR-speed.
Then the vehicle is automatically moved to the selected normal level.
If the light flashes, there is an ECAS-related fault.
Read the diagnostic memory with TEBS E Diagnostic Software and rectify the
fault.

Speed switch (ISS 1 and ISS 2) and RTR
Vehicle type
Purpose
The two integrated speed switches, ISS 1 and ISS 2, can be used for independent
control of two functions in the trailer.
The RTR (Return to Ride) application is used to automatically move the vehicle
with air suspension to ride height after starting to drive.
Function
The switching state of the output changes when the vehicle speed exceeds or
drops below a limit speed set in the parameters. This allows solenoid valves to be
switched on or off depending on the speed.
A typical example of application is the simple locking of steering axles, see chapter 6.23 Steering axle lock, page 113. The two threshold speeds at which the output's switching state 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 gate output is switched off below the threshold speed set in the parameters.
When the threshold is reached, the output is switched on and a supply voltage is
applied. Parameters can also be used to invert the switching function so that supply voltage is applied in free position.
In the event of a fault it must be ensured that the appliance controlled by the switch
output does not remain in a state that will impair driving safety.
In the event of a power supply failure, for instance, a steering axle should be
locked as this represents a safe state.

Traction help
Vehicle type
All air suspended trailer vehicles with lifting axle or tag axle as first axle.
Purpose
On slippery ground or on steep hills vehicles have a hard time pulling away or cannot do so at all. The drive axle of the towing vehicle does not have enough traction
and the wheels spin.
Function
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 on the towing vehicle to increase.
The effect of the traction help function depends on the load status. The support
bellow pressure monitors the load on the trailer's main axle.
Once 30 % overload is reached, the tag axle is not relieved any further. Traction
help is started by the driver or is started automatically.
When reaching 30 km/h, the axle is lowered again or returns to automatic mode.
Note the axle manufacturer's information on traction help. These specifications may
restrict the maximum limits of the EC Directive 98/12/EEC.
Valve configurations
The following variants can be selected:
A spring-returned lifting 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.
In countries where axle loads of 3 times 9 t are permitted, traction help is cancelled 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 load status.
One lifting axle valve (spring returned) and one solenoid valve for pressure limitation (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 support bellow of
the lifting axle are shut off using the solenoid valve. The lifting axle is thereby
relieved for best possible traction when starting without exceeding the 30%
overload (the value defined in the parameters) on the other axles.
(The lifting axle remains relieved at 130% axle load on the main axle and is
lowered again only at 30km/h.)
This configuration permits traction help even when the vehicle is overloaded.
A pulse-controlled lifting 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
bellow on the lifting axle are shut off. Therefore, relieving the lifting axle may
also be performed in order to prevent the permissible 30% overload being exceeded.
(The lifting axle remains relieved at 130% axle load on the main axle and is
lowered again only at 30km/h.)
This arrangement makes sense in countries with a permissible axle load of 9 t.
78
GIO functions
TEBS E
A traction help function without lifting the lifting axle can also be implemented using a simple 12 V ABS tag axle valve in combination with
the TEBS E4 Multi-Voltage.
Activation of traction help
ISO 7638: Actuation via the Towing vehicle CAN port from the towing vehicle.
SmartBoard: Activation via the control menu of the SmartBoard.
Control box: It is only possible to start the traction help if the lifting axles are
located on the ground above the fully automated lifting axle (start using the Lift
lifting axle button).
Remote control unit: Activate via the Lifting Axle Preselection and M1 buttons.
Trailer Remote Control: Activation via the Traction help button see chapter 10.2 Operation with Trailer Remote Control, page 172.
Brake actuation: By activating this parameter, the traction help can be activated or deactivated by actuating the brake 3 times when stationary (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 3x in 10 seconds with a pressure of 3 to 8 bar after a period of
2 seconds without braking pressure.
By actuating the brake 3 more times, the axle is force-lowered.
Automatic with ignition on: Activation of traction help with ignition on. This is
used to automatically increase the support load with central axle trailers or provide more traction in winter conditions.
Automatic with curve detection: Traction in the towing vehicle is increased
during slow cornering.
By engaging the reverse gear
More information on operation, see chapter 10.4 Operation of traction help,

page 182 and see chapter 10.2 Operation with Trailer Remote Control, page 172.
Forced lowering is activated by actuating the brakes another 3 times.

Traction help can also be activated via the Traction help with ignition
on setting. The function is automatically switched off when the preset
deactivation speed is reached or via the forced lowering function.
Traction help
The traction help function is supported for lifting axles on the last axle
for semitrailers or central axle trailers, i.e. the lifting axle is raised or
lowered on request.
Activation: 1-time actuation of the button (less than 5 seconds).
Traction help type Northern
Time-dependent traction help control is also possible (in 1 second
increments, max. 1,200 seconds).
With lifting axle valve 463 084 3. 0 the lifting axle is lowered automatically 5 seconds after exceeding 130% of the axle load.
Activation: 1-time actuation of the button (less than 5 seconds).

External axle load sensor
Vehicle type
All trailers with air suspension or hydro-pneumatic suspension.
Purpose
An external axle load sensor can also be used instead of or in addition to the internal axle load sensor.
For axle c-d
Vehicle type
Vehicles with hydraulic suspension for example because suspension pressures of
up to 200 bar are required here (vehicles that cannot be connected to the TEBS E
Modulator because of too high pressures).
The external axle load sensor may be retrofitted on the main axle should the internal sensor fail. This avoids replacing the module and a cost-efficient repair can be
performed instead.
With hydraulically suspended vehicles, the right and left axle load can
be detected separately by using a second pressure sensor on the axle
c-d. To ensure that the vehicle does not over- or under-brake when the
load differs from side to side, this function can be used to determine an
average value for the two external pressure sensors.
This average value is used for determining the braking pressure and
for outputting the axle load.
This function is not suitable for drawbar trailers.

Vehicle type
Semitrailers with 2 or 3 axles, rear axle as a tag axle or lifting axle.
Central axle trailer
Purpose
Increasing manoeuvrability.
Can be used as an alternative to a trailing steering axle.
Function
OptiTurn is able to detect tight curves from the differing wheel speeds and correspondingly unloads the rear axle according to the specifications of the traction help
system. 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 relief of the third axle can be defined by means of the parameter settings. This
prevents overloading the other axles on the trailer.
Benefit
Reduced tire wear in tight curves.
Can save steering axle and steering axle control.
Improves manoeuvrability, even when reversing.
System requirements
The vehicle must be equipped with ECAS or also with eTASC and an LACV-IC on
the last axle. This is necessary to ensure that the level is readjusted quickly to
normal level - thus reducing the wheelbase - when the last axle is relieved as the
vehicle drives into a corner.

Drawbar load reduction (OptiLoadTM)
Vehicle type
Semitrailers with 2 or 3 axles, rear axle as a tag axle or lifting axle.
Purpose
Avoid overloading the pick-up plate and towing vehicle drive axle on semitrailers
with loads that are unevenly distributed in the direction of the towing vehicle.
The load does not have to be distributed over the load floor.
Reduces the risk of a traffic fine due to overloading the towing vehicle.
Function
Lifting or relieving pressure on the rear axle improves the distribution of the load
between the towing vehicle and the trailer, 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.
After the ignition is turned on, TEBS E determines the load status and relieves the
last axle if applicable.
With TEBS E4 the axle load is measured and the axle relieved if applicable even after the start of driving until the parameterised RtR speed
is reached.
The OptiLoad function can be implemented together with the OptiTurn function.
While OptiTurn is only used in the low speed range, there is no speed limitation for
OptiLoad.
System requirements
The vehicle must be equipped with a LACV-IC on the last axle to arrest the pressure.

Winter operation for OptiLoad

Second lifting axle characteristic curve with deactivated Automatic
OptiLoad: If the automatic OptiLoad function is deactivated via the
SmartBoard or Trailer Remote Control, this parameter can be used for
adjusting to a second lifting axle characteristic curve. The function
needs to be deactivated to obtain more traction on the towing vehicle
drive axle in certain conditions such as winter operation.
Without this parameter the standard characteristic curve for the automatic lifting axle function would stay active, causing the lifting axles not
to raise when vehicles are partially laden or unladen for example.
The second characteristic curve can delay lifting or prevent it altogether.
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 independently of the driver, according to the defined boundary
conditions.
If a SmartBoard is installed, the automatic function can be temporarily deactivated,
to save air for example (up to TEBS E2 the automatic function could only be activated/deactivated simultaneously for both OptiTurn and OptiLoad). The OptiLoad 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.
The manoeuvering assistance button or the Trailer Remote Control (only in combination with ELEX and version TEBS E2 or higher) can be used to put the Automatic function into Forced lowering mode by pressing the button for > 5 seconds.
The OptiLoad is reactivated after the ignition has been switched off and on again
(Trip function).
Manual control
As soon as OptiLoad is deactivated the systems stays in this status until it is reactivated via the SmartBoard or by actuating the manoeuvering assistance button
(press twice).
The SmartBoard or the Trailer Remote Control (only in combination with ELEX)
can be used instead of a button. After switching the ignition off and back on again
or by switching off with the SmartBoard, Trailer Remote Control or Manoeuvering
assistance button, OptiLoad is deactivated again.

OptiLoad/OptiTurn in combination with ECAS

For optimal and efficient use of the functions (response time test and control response), an electronically controlled air suspension system (lifting & lowering +
control of the Opti-function axle) must be used.
Furthermore an EBS relay valve with external bellows pressure sensor e-f must be
installed on the last axle to adjust the optimal braking pressure when braking with a

Forced lowering with button / SmartBoard
The button is pressed for longer than 5 seconds: All axles are lowered.
The button is pressed for less than 5 seconds: The automatic lifting axle control is
activated.
More information on operation, see chapter 10.6 Lifting axles operation, page 183.
Forced lowering with Trailer Remote Control
Information on operating the Trailer Remote Control, see chapter 10.2 Operation
with Trailer Remote Control, page 172.
The lifting axle function can be permanently deactivated in addition to
forced lowering. Up to two separately controlled lifting axles can be
permanently lowered individually by means of two separate switches
or via the SmartBoard.
Two separately controlled lifting axles can be lowered individually by
means of two separate switches or via the SmartBoard.
If the load status only permits lifting one axle, this function can be used
to lower a specific lifting axle so that the other lifting axle is automatically lifted as a result.
Forced lowering of the rear lifting axle will also deactivate OptiLoad
and OptiTurn.
Traction help is deactivated simultaneously with deactivation of the
front lifting axle.
Lifting axles are only lifted under automatic lifting axle control if the vehicle is within
the parameterised threshold values for speed and bellows pressure.
The input levels (positive or ground) coming from the towing vehicle can be selected in the TEBS E Diagnostic Software.
There are two ways to define parameters for the forced lowering function in the
TEBS E Diagnostic Software:
Forced lowering affects all lifting axles or only the 2nd lifting axle.
Forced lowering is possible via switch, button, Trailer Remote Control or
SmartBoard.

6.11 Brake lining wear indicator

Vehicle type (BVA)
All trailer vehicles with disc brakes
Purpose
Wear indicators, a wire integrated into the brake lining, monitor the wear of both linings of a disc brake.
Function
Wear indicators can be connected on up to 6 brakes on the ECU. All wear indicators are connected in series and are connected to the wear input. These are operated with the supply voltage (24 V/12 V).
Fault indicator / warning lamp:
If the wear indicators indicates that the wire is worn through for a period of at least
4 seconds (or longer) , a voltage will be measured at the lining wear sensor and
the warning will be activated. The fault indicator / warning lamp will warn the driver
if the end value for lining wear has been reached (100% brake lining wear).
When the ignition is switched on, the fault indicator / warning lamp (amber) flashes
in 4 cycles = 16 times. The fault indicator / warning lamp is no longer illuminated
when the vehicle's speed exceeds 7 km/h. Replacing the wear indicators is automatically detected by the system when the linings are changed. Both warning levels are deactivated after 8 seconds.
In systems with Trailer Central Electronic, the wear information is determined by
the Trailer Central Electronic. It is the TEBS E that warns the driver or triggers the
fault indicator / warning lamp. This is necessary because only an ECU can execute
triggering the fault indicator / 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 lining changes (including odometer 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.

6.15 Road finisher brake

Vehicle type
Tipper vehicle
Purpose
The road finisher brake function is used for targeted braking of tipper bodies during operation with road finishers. In this case, the vehicle trailer is pushed by the
road finisher while tipping.
Function
If the function is activated, the trailer is braked by means of the TEBS E Modulator.
Mechanical switches can be used for activation in operation (road finisher operation on/off) and an unloading level switch used for positioning the tipper (push button or proximity switch). When using ECAS valves, tipping of the tipper body can
be detected via the unloading level switch, see chapter 6.3.2 Normal level,
page 70.
The unloading level switch can be activated or deactivated based on the customer'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 when switched back on.
The automatic shut-off for this function occurs at speed v > 10 km/h.

Road finisher brake parameters

The speed to which the function is active must first be set (max. 10km/h). Then the
pressure test for actuating the braking pressure pm of the application pressure to a
maximum 6.5 bar is applied, parameter road finisher brake.
You can define whether the actuated braking pressure is adjusted depending on
the load during road finisher operation (dynamic LSV).
If a SmartBoard is installed, one switching input can be dispensed with by activating the function solely via the SmartBoard.
The road finisher braking pressure can also be adjusted by means of
the parking brake in the towing vehicle, without a SmartBoard.
In the pressure range to be set, the spring-type actuator in the towing
vehicle is not yet exhausted so that the parking brake only generates a
braking force in the trailer.
To increase the braking pressure, the pressure must be adjusted
slowly using the lever, which is then released suddenly.
The system detects the manual setting through the high pressure gradient thus produced, saves this value and adjusts the pressure accordingly.
To reduce the value, the current value must be briefly exceeded using
the lever before it is gradually released again. This value is deleted
again following an ignition reset.
Road finisher brake = Mechanical switch
Parameters for deactivating the unloading level can be set in the TEBS E Diagnostic Software.
A 2 pole proximity switch can be connected (connection to GIO 4, pins 1 and 3,
cable 449 535 ... 0).
97
TEBS E
GIO functions
This proximity switch can be used for the Unloading level and Road finisher
brake functions. Every proximity switch has a different switching threshold relating
to the distance to the tipping body object to be detected.
If both functions are to be active, two additional switching inputs are required so
that both functions can be switched on and off separately.
The road finisher brake can be indicated by a lamp attached to the
outside of the vehicle, for example.
For this purpose, the TEBS E Diagnostic Software tab 9, Function
module is used to create a digital function with the input signal Road
finisher brake active.

Parameter setting
If just one function is available (figure 1), parameters only need to be set for the
proximity switch.
If both functions are to be available (figure 2), two additional switch inputs are required so that both functions can be switched on and off separately.
The switches for this must be configured as follows:
Road finisher brake = proximity switch and separate switch. Both switches must be
closed here so that the road finisher function is actuated.
Unloading level switch = proximity switch and separate switch. Both switches must
be closed here so that the unloading level starts up.
Proximity switches available on the market can have differing switching thresholds
depending on the distance to the object to be registered.
WABCO suggests a value of 600 A for this, for trouble free operation of the proximity switches named above. The switching threshold for other switches can be set
as required.

6.16 Trailer Extending Control

Vehicle type
Semitrailers or drawbar trailers that are adjustable in length and equipped with a
4S/3M system.
Purpose
Equipped with this function, vehicles that are adjustable in length can be extended
and retracted with greater convenience for the driver and without using additional
tools (such as brake wedges or other components installed in the trailer).
Function
The final multi-axle combination is braked and the trailer is extended by the towing
vehicle.
The function has different modes of operation depending on the type of vehicle:
Semitrailer
With semitrailers the function can be selected in combination with the parameter
Without load-dependent braking pressure LSV.
If the function is activated by a switch or the SmartBoard, the multi-axle combination is braked with full braking pressure (without LSV characteristic curve) so that
the trailer can be extended by driving the towing vehicle slowly.
Drawbar trailer
Here the Brake rear aggregate only parameter can also be selected. In this case,
only the rearmost axle (axle group) is braked so that the towing vehicle can extend
the trailer by driving slowly forwards.

6.18 Tilt warning (Tilt Alert)

Application
Trailers with tipper body
Purpose
Monitoring the tilt angle of the vehicle.
Function
A lateral acceleration sensor for the RSS function is integrated in each TEBS E
modulator. This lateral acceleration sensor also provides information on the inclination of the vehicle relative to the horizontal line. The TEBS E modulator can monitor the vehicle's inclination.
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 always depends on the specific vehicle and must be defined
by the vehicle manufacturer.
The driver must be instructed to interrupt actions such as tipping the dumping body
immediately if he receives a warning.
The Tilt warning (Tilt Alert) function is for assistance only and does not release the
driver form his duty of due diligence to monitor the vehicle.
The tipper body status can be monitored to ensure that the function is
only active while the tipper body is raised.
On request, a warning is only output when a mechanical switch is used
and this switch is closed (the lowered tipper body opens the switch).
If a proximity switch is used, this switch must be opened for an output
of the warning to occur. This functional extension is only available with
the Premium Modulator.
Apart from the SmartBoard or the warning lamp, the warning lamp
shared by several functions or the buzzer are also available for an
output of the warning.
A tilt warning can also be output during the TEBS E stand-by time.

6.19 Overload detection

Application
Trailers with air suspension, e.g. with tipper body or silo
Purpose
Monitoring the load status during loading.
Function
The load status of the trailer is determined by means of sensing the support bellows.
A lamp located on the outside of the vehicle signals the load status, to the driver of
a forklift loading the trailer for example.
The lamp flashes with increasing frequency as the load increases. Longer phases
of being lit are briefly interrupted each time.
When the permissible weight has been reached, the lamp is permanently lit.
In the event of overloading and the load increasing still further, the lamp flashes
again with increasing frequency. However, now longer pauses are interrupted by
brief flashes.
The lamp goes out with the start of driving and only comes on again with renewed
loading.
The function can be deactivated by means of a switch.
The warning lamp is connected to a free GIO connection.
The lamp can either be used exclusively for this function or as a shared warning
lamp for several functions. Notes in this respect, see chapter 6.28 Freely configurable functions, page 125.

6.20 SafeStart
Vehicle type
Tipper, roll-off container chassis and tank- and silo-vehicles
Purpose
Automatically brakes the truck-trailer combination during loading and unloading to
prevent movement.
Examples: dumper with raised dumping body, tanker with open fuel door, container
vehicle with container not sealed.
Function
A sensor connected to the TEBS E modulator detects whether a loading or unloading procedure is taking place. The brake chambers are braked via TEBS E.
SafeStart can be configured to match the respective vehicle type.
Road tankers/Roll-off container: The vehicle is braked by means of the service
brake. No movement is possible until the sensor detects that the loading or unloading process has been completed (by the valve cabinet being closed for instance).
Tipper: here the function permits driving at low speeds in order to facilitate the
unloading process with tippers for instance. As of a speed of 18 km/h, 10 short
brake actions warn the driver that the dumping body, for example, has not yet been
lowered. From a speed of 28 km/h the vehicle is brought to a standstill. After
achieving a full stop (v = 0 km/h), the brake releases after 20 seconds. The function is then deactivated and will only function again after restarting the ignition.
SafeStart can be combined with the electronic parking brake and/or the Immobilizer. In this case, SafeStart would brake the spring brake cylinders with the Immobilizer and electronic parking brake components.
Installation instructions
The vehicle manufacturer is responsible for proper positioning and installation of
the sensor on the vehicle so that the TEBS E Modulator reliably recognises the
loading or unloading function.

6.21 Electronic parking brake (with version TEBS E4 or higher)

Vehicle type
All trailers with additional power supply via 24N.
Exception: Special vehicles with external desired-pressure sensor on the CAN
router/repeater.
Purpose
Prevents the trailer from rolling away if the pneumatic lines are connected in the
wrong order when they are coupled to the towing vehicle.
Protection against the tractor-trailer combination rolling away if the parking
brake of the towing vehicle of the towing vehicle is not applied while the pneumatic lines are coupled.
Protection against the parked trailer rolling away in the event of accidental or
unauthorised actuation of the release valves on the PREV.
Protection against trips without ISO 7638 plug connection.
Function
TEBS E detects the uncoupled state. With the help of a pulse-controlled lifting axle
valve and the spring-returned valve, the spring brake cylinders are activated when
the trailer is parked and are only released again when all connections are plugged
in and pressure is detected on the yellow coupling head.
To enable vehicle movement, the pulse-controlled valve is overridden by the
spring-returned valve (on the venting connection of the lifting axle valve) during
coupling. The vehicle can only be moved if the ABS connector is plugged in or the
function has been deactivated via SmartBoard or a button or switch.
Fault indicator / warning lamp: The warning lamp flashes after the ignition is
turned on while the electronic parking brake is still locking the wheels.
Operation: The function operates automatically. In cases where TEBS E can not
detect the coupling, briefly tapping the brake pedal will suffice to release the trailer.
Manoeuvring the vehicle without coupling an electrical connection: It is possible to temporarily deactivate the electronic parking brake function by means of a
switch/button or the SmartBoard to allow the trailer to be transported onto a ferry at
a later stage, for example. The electronic parking brake must be deactivated before
the ignition is turned off and the trailer uncoupled.
Deactivation by means of a switch on the GIO port against ground: Opening the switching contact prevents activation of the electronic parking brake.
Closing the switch reactivates the electronic parking brake.
Deactivation by means of a switch on a GIO port against Plus: Closing the
switching contact prevents activation of the electronic parking brake. Opening
the switch reactivates the electronic parking brake.
Deactivation by means of a button on the GIO port against ground: Pressing the button for a longer period prevents activation of the electronic parking
brake for the next coupling procedure. Briefly pressing the button reactivates
the electronic parking brake.
SmartBoard: The activity of the electronic parking brake can be switched off for
the next coupling procedure of permanently, provided the parameter settings
permit this.
Emergency function for releasing the electronic parking brake (24N is
plugged in, ISO 7638 is not): Applying the service brake for a longer period with a
pressure greater than 4 bar releases the parking brake. The stop light must remain
switched on for the vehicle to be moved.

6.22 Relaxation function (Bounce Control)

Vehicle type
Purpose
The multi-axle combination is subjected to strain when the semitrailer is loaded and
unloaded while the complete vehicle train is braked. When the park brake is released, following unloading for example, the vehicle body can jump up abruptly because the air suspension lifts the vehicle immediately with the air-spring bellows
still full and the load now absent. The relaxation function prevents the body from
jumping up in this manner and thereby protects the load.
Function
The function can be activated with a button or the SmartBoard.
The tension on the applied brakes is released by actuating the brake cylinder from
the modulator. The brakes are released side by side (for semitrailers/central axle
trailers) or by axle by axle (for drawbar trailers) for this purpose. Deceleration of the
vehicle is always over 18% during this process because the brake cylinders are released alternately.

6.23 Steering axle lock

Observe the guidelines for safe operation of steering axles.
The steering axle must be disconnected when locked.
Vehicle type
Semitrailer with steering axle
Purpose
TEBS E can be used to control a steering axle by means of a cylinder to lock it in
straight-ahead position, dependent on the speed or alternatively when reversing is
detected.
The steering axle can be locked dependent on speed to ensure steady straightahead driving at high speeds. The steering axle can also be locked by monitoring
the reversing lights when reversing.
Function
A solenoid valve is used to control the cylinder. The TEBS E modulator controls the
solenoid valve depending on the speed set in the parameters.
When travelling at normal speed (e.g. > 30 km/h), the steering axle is locked by the
GIO function. If the speed specified in the parameters is exceeded, the GIO function releases the lock and the steering axle turns in when cornering.
When stationary (v < 1.8 km/h), the steering axle is locked again. The lock is maintained by engaging reverse gear (when reversing lights are active) to prevent
steering while reversing. If the vehicle moves forward again, the lock is maintained
up to a speed defined in the parameters (> 1.8 km/h) when it is released and only
applied again when a second defined speed is exceeded.
The steering axle can be locked with the lifting axle raised via parameter with
raised lifting axle.
Reverse detection can occur via ELEX (Parameter Reverse detection via ELEX) if
combined with a TailGUARD system, see chapter 7.1.1 TailGUARD functions ,
page 127. No additional connection between the reversing lamp and the TEBS E is
necessary.

6.24 Forklift control

Vehicle type
Mainly for central axle trailers with forklift transport.
Purpose
Optimising the support load, if the forklift is absent as a counterbalance.
Function
1.
2.
3.
Central axle trailers with an attached forklift are normally constructed so that, when
the forklift is attached, the weight distribution is balanced between the front and
back. A correspondingly 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 with a raised lifting axle, the excessive weight of the construction can
lead to extra support load on the trailer coupling side since the counterweight of the
forklift is missing (Fig. 2).
With the function Forklift control, raising the lifting axle can be delayed with a partially 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 remain 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).
Function prerequisites
Proximity switch or mechanical switch (roller switch) for detecting the attached forklift.
The load on the trailer should be distributed evenly to prevent any additional influence by the support load.
In the case of central axle trailers with 2 lifting axles, TEBS E automatically detects which axle is lifted and uses the axle on the ground
as the main axle.
Trailer EBS E uses a proximity switch or a mechanical (roller) switch to detect
whether a forklift is docked on the vehicle and automatically switches between the
two lifting axle characteristic curves:
a) Characteristic curve for controlling the lifting axle with attached forklift
b) Characteristic curve for controlling the lifting axle with unattached forklift
Both characteristics are defined by the vehicle manufacturer relative to the desired
load-dependent time for lifting the lifting axle.
Forklift control with OptiLoad
Forklift control can also be demonstrated via the OptiLoad function. In this case,
the front axle is fitted with OptiLoad instead of the rear axle. This means that the
maximum possible wheel base is always adjusted to thus preventing a negative
support load generally.

6.25 Brake release function

Vehicle type
For example, car transporters or log trailers for timber transporters.
Purpose
Release the service brake of the trailer when stationary.
Application: Supporting the hydraulic extension of a trailer while the towing vehicle
is stationary.
Releasing the service brake at low speed.
Application: Loading or unloading an unladen log trailer
Function
The function is activated with an external button or via the SmartBoard.
When releasing the push-button or the respective button of the SmartBoard, the
brake is immediately filled with air again and the trailer is braked.
Requirements for the brake release function
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 if the pressure on the yellow coupling
head drops.
Standard brake release function: The brake release function will be aborted at a
speed v > 1.8 km/h.
Advanced brake release function: The brake release function will be aborted at
a speed v > 10 km/h.

6.26 Emergency stop light (Emergency Brake Alert)

Vehicle type
Purpose
If the vehicle is in a hazardous situation and needs to brake abruptly, emergency
braking can be indicated by making the trailer stop lights flash.
Function
In TEBS E a separate GIO output is provided for this to which the stop light is connected via a relay. The relay does so by interrupting the stop light using a specific
preset frequency.
In some towing vehicles, the function for the trailer stop lighting is monitored so
that a basic load exists in relay operation in both switch states (stop light or resistance), so that no error is detected from the towing vehicle.
For compatibility with the towing vehicle's stop light error recognition process,
WABCO recommends building in a resistance of 100 Ohm parallel to the relay.
The GIO output is allowed to be loaded to maximum 1.5A.
Activation
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 an emergency braking procedure.
If an ABS control procedure 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.
The speed threshold for the emergency brake light can be reduced by
means of a parameter and can thus also be used for agricultural vehicles.

6.27 Immobilizer
Vehicle type
Purpose
Immobilizer for reducing the risk of theft.
The function can also be used as an electric parking brake. This secures the
parked vehicle against rolling in the event that unauthorised persons intentionally
or accidentally actuate the red button on the PREV.
Function
Using an integrated pulse-controlled lifting axle valve, the wheels of a parked vehicle can be locked via the Tristop cylinder.
The immobilizer can be activated or deactivated by entering a self-defined PIN using the SmartBoard or the Trailer Remote Control.
If a vehicle is moved while the immobilizer is 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, in critical situations for example.
You can set parameters for an emergency release function.
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
Trailer with towing vehicle must be moved from a critical road situation. PIN is not
available.
Activate the emergency release function via the SmartBoard or the Trailer Remote Control.
Move the vehicle to a safe location.
As soon as the vehicle is at a standstill for 60 seconds, the immobilizer is activated again.
If necessary, this process can be repeated up to 3 times. Then the emergency
release function is locked.
After activating the immobilizer with PIN and PUK, the emergency release function is available again.
Fault indicator / warning lamp
As of version TEBS E2, the driver is notified of the immobilizer status
by the fault indicator / warning lamp (amber). If the immobilizer is activated, the fault indicator / warning lamp flashes eight times after
switching the ignition on.
With TEBS E2 or higher, you can use parameter Unlock only with engaged parking brake to set whether the immobilizer should only be
able to be unlocked with the parking brake applied.
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 5.10.6 Operating data record (ODR), page 54. This data can be viewed by insurance agencies or fleet managers for example.

6.28 Freely configurable functions

Freely configurable digital function
Purpose
Free programming by the manufacturer of a GIO digital input or output depending
on speeds and times.
As of TEBS E4 many items of TEBS E-internal information can be
evaluated to generate signals to a jointly used buzzer or jointly used
lamp.
Freely configurable analogue function
Purpose
Free programming by the manufacturer of a GIO analogue input or output depending on speeds and times.
With both analogue and digital functions an Event (for example) can be stored or a
GIO output switched as a function of a switch signal and the vehicle speed, see
chapter 5.10.6 Operating data record (ODR), page 54.
Control of freely configurable functions via Trailer Remote Control
In combination with ELEX the functions can also be controlled via Trailer Remote
Control. (The signals from Trailer Remote Control are linked to the input signals of
both functions by means of an or function.)
A pushbutton from the Trailer Remote Control can also be used as an input signal
instead of a switch of the freely configurable analogue or digital function.
Possible applications are, for example, control of an electric walking floor or an
electric tarpaulin from the towing vehicle.
Freely configurable functions
In addition to the analogue and digital functions it is also possible to store what are
known as GIO function modules in TEBS E via the diagnosis. These are capable of
processing internal signals (CAN bus, internal pressures, speeds) as well as external input variables (such as switch, pressure sensor, SmartBoard).
Output signals as well as internal functions such as saving events to the event recorder can be controlled according GIO function module programming. The function can therefore be used to implement small customer-specific applications.
Parameter setting
The function is loaded in TEBS E using a *.FCF or *.ECU file.
Please speak with your WABCO partner about parameters for the freely configurable functions. Only files created by WABCO can be loaded into the ECU.

TailGUARD functions
Vehicle type
Purpose
Detecting objects out of the driver's field of vision behind the trailer with ultrasonic
sensors.
Benefit: Avoiding cost-intensive damage on vehicle, ramp and loading area.
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 restricted functionality. Objects with very soft surfaces cannot be detected under
all circumstances. WABCO cannot hold liable for an accident that is caused despite of using this system; this is a support system only.
If a ramp is approached at an oblique angle, the sensors may be unable to detect the ramp.
Function
TailGUARD is activated by shifting into reverse gear. Activation will cause the
clearance lights on the trailer to be actuated via ELEX and flash. The flashing frequency is increased the closer the vehicle is to the object.
If the parameterised stopping distance is reached, 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).
If TailGUARD initiates automatic braking, at the same time a demand for actuating
the brake lights will be sent via ISO 7638 CAN interface to the towing vehicle. New
trailer vehicles support this function and activate the stop light.
During this time the clearance lights are switched on permanently. The braking
pressure 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.
If the vehicle approaches the ramp at a speed below 9 km/h, the system triggers
short brake pulses to alert the driver of excessive speed and regulates the speed
down to 9 km/h. If the warning brake actions are ignored and the speed continues
to increase, the system is switched off at 12 km/h.
After automatic braking the driver can perform an automatic reset. The distance information will be sent to the towing vehicle by means of 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 vehicle (actuation of the clearance lights).
Silent mode: If a buzzer is connected it can be deactivated temporarily via engaging the reverse gear twice within 3 seconds, e.g. when making deliveries in residential areas.

TailGUARDlight Ramp approach support

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 interaction 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 system triggers short brake impulses to notify the driver of the excessive speed and
reduces the speed.
To avoid damage 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 frequencies.
If the angle between the ramp and the direction of vehicle movement is > 10, the
ramp cannot be detected in all circumstances.
Roof
and TailGUARDMAX)
TailGUARD Reverse monitoring system (includes TailGUARD, TailGUARD
With this system, the entire area behind the vehicle is monitored with ultrasonic
sensors.
WABCO recommends a minimum system of three sensors on the main level (TailGUARD).
As of version TEBS E2.5, the new Roof installation option for TailGUARD and TailGUARD optimised the detection of protruding ramps.
To enable detection of roofs with TailGUARDRoof even where space is
restricted, the upper external sensors can be mounted horizontally. A
wide-range reverse monitoring system is not provided for the upper
level with this installation variant.
Please note the descriptions of installation and start-up in this regard.
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 ultrasonic sensors). TailGUARDMAX is tested according to ISO 12155. During the installation, the install dimensions must be maintained, see chapter 8.8 Installation
of TailGUARD components, page 153.

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 (depending on system, object size and surface) back behind the
vehicle.
If an object is located within the monitoring area of the sensors, the distance indicated as follows:
Flashing clearance 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 lights (not WABCO supplied) for countries, in which
flashing clearance lights are not allowed, such as Great Britain or Switzerland
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 support.
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 by an
acoustic signal as well as a visual indication of the position and the distance of detected objects.
Acoustic and visual driver information
The changes in lamp and buzzer frequencies occur at distances of 3 m, 1.8 m and
0.7 m.
The buzzer is not to be used as the only distance output because it is not possible
to clearly indicate a malfunction.

Activation
TailGUARD is activated by shifting into reverse gear. The activation causes the
beeper and the amber and red LED on the Trailer Remote Control to switch on
briefly. The clearance 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 on the 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 clearance lights or additional lights are not actuated.
The acoustic signals are switched off and the Trailer Remote Control shows the respective system status on the display. Deactivating TailGUARD is stored as an
even in the operating data recorder (ODR).
Please note that the electronic ISO 7638 connection must be plugged in for operation of the TailGUARD function.
TailGUARD can not be operated with a supply from 24N.

Press the button < 5 seconds.
Switching the ECAS functions off
Press the button > 5 seconds.
ECAS functions following ignition off / uncoupled trailer
The ECAS functions remain active for a time predefined by parameter, then
TEBS E switches off.
Extending the stand-by time: If the button is pressed again before the
stand-by time has elapsed, the time doubles. Multiple button presses
multiply the standby time (up to 10 times possible).
When the trailer is disconnected, TEBS E and ECAS valves are supplied by a battery connected to the system.
Battery supply: As long as no power supply is provided by the towing vehicle, the
above indicated functions can be supplied by a battery in the trailer. To prevent exhaustive discharge, the supply is switched off at a voltage below 22 V (24 V battery)
or 11 V (12 V battery).
Battery charge: The battery is charged from 2 - 10 Ah at up to 2.5 A via TEBS E
and ELEX, if ISO 7638 is plugged in. If a battery of greater capacity is already in
the trailer vehicle, e.g. for operating a cooling unit, then this can also be used for
the stand-by time. Charging this battery via TEBS E and ELEX is not permissible,
however, and must be deactivated by parameter.

Tire pressure monitoring system (IVTM)
Vehicle type
Purpose
Permanent monitoring of the tire pressure on all wheels with pressure sensors.
Around 85 % of all punctures are caused by driving the vehicle with incorrect tire
pressure or creeping pressure loss while the vehicle is in motion. With IVTM it is
possible to reduce the risk of a tire bursting to 15 %.
Function
The tire pressures measured by the pressure sensor are transmitted to the towing
vehicle via the CAN bus and are usually displayed on the dashboard in towing vehicles built 2007 or more recently.
Additionally the pressures can be displayed via the SmartBoard or a display. The
driver is warned on time with creeping or critical pressure loss. A pressure gauge is
no longer required.
Fault indicator / warning lamp: If IVTM detects a tire pressure that is too low, the
fault indicator / warning lamp starts to flash on the instrument panel after the ignition is turned on. If the Trailer Remote Control is installed, the fault indicator for tire
pressure is illuminated.
Pressure loss 1 - 29 %: yellow fault indicator / warning lamp flashes
Pressure loss > 29 %: red fault indicator / warning lamp flashes
IVTM is for assistance only and does not release the driver form his duty of due
diligence to visually check the tires as well.
Please refer to the documents IVTM System description, see chapter 4 Introduction, page 12 => section Further information for a detailed description of the
system.

TEBS E transmits the data received from the IVTM system via the 24 V CAN bus
to the towing vehicle so that the tire pressures can be indicated on the dashboard.
Because there are differences in terms of how the data is interpreted there, there
are two different modes that optimise the transfer to the respective towing vehicle:
EBS23 Standard: Default value, matches most towing vehicles
EBS23 Group Bit: Extends the fault messages of a wheel to a generic fault message to all wheels on the trailer. This ensures an adequate warning message in a

Installation in vehicle
Before you commence the installation, it is essential that you note the safety instructions on the subject of ESD, see chapter 3 Safety information, page 10.
Installation on frame
Install the modulator according to the outline drawing.
Make sure that there is a conducting ground connection between the modulator
and the vehicle frame (resistance must be less than 10 Ohm). The same applies to the connection between an EBS relay valve and the frame.
Outline drawing for TEBS E Modulator
Enter the part number of the TEBS E Modulator in the Product Number field.
The installation position can be in the driving direction or against the driving direction (stud bolts face driving direction).
Define the installation position in the parameters via the TEBS E Diagnostic
Software.
The silencers must be open towards the atmosphere and always point perpendicular to the floor (see below), see chapter 8.3.1 RSS installation regulation,
page 146.
Fastening on cross member
The cross-member must be connected to the two longitudinal beams of the vehicle
mass in a friction locked manner.
Mount the modulator on a sufficiently sized U-section, angle section, or a suitable 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 modulator 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 8.3.1 RSS installation regulation, page 146.

8.3.1
TEBS E
Installation notes
RSS installation regulation

The parameters for the circumference of the installed tires and the number of teeth
of the installed pole wheels must be defined because these input values are used
to calculate the required value of lateral acceleration which represents a risk of tipping.
The Roll Stability Support (RSS) function depends on the accuracy of the parameter settings for the tire 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 tire size is no more than 8 % smaller
than the defined value. The defined number of teeth on the pole wheel must correspond with the installed number.
Please refer to the WABCO brake calculation for the values for the permitted tire
circumference range and the LSV data.
Never fit tires that are larger than specified; the RSS function will not work properly
if this is the case.
Calibrate the inclination of the modulator () using the TEBS E Diagnostic
Software.
Requirements: 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.

Installation height sensor

Height sensor with extension and linkage
Height sensor 441 050 100 0 is used to both measure the normal level for vehicles
with electronic air suspension (ECAS functions) and for determining the axle load
with mechanical suspension.
Install the height sensor in such a way that the two mounting holes are horizontal and facing upward.
A lever is used for linking the height sensor lever.
The maximum excursion of the lever 50 may not be exceeded.
The length of the height sensor lever can be set.
On vehicles with long compression travel, use a longer lever.
The lever length should be chosen so that the entire suspension path of the
frame utilises a deflection of at least 30.
It is important that the height sensor always moves freely across its operating
range, and that the lever can only move in the way intended.
The height sensor and the level both have a fastening hole (4 mm) for locking
the lever into the optimum position for the normal level.
The linkage for the height sensor should be fastened so that the lever is horizontal at normal 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
Diagram, see chapter 12.4 GIO diagram, page 210.
1-point control
Move the height sensor to the middle of the main axle to prevent damage to the
height sensor when travelling around curves with large vehicle inclination.
2-point control
On drawbar trailers, move the height sensor to the middle of the front axle and
rear axle to prevent damage to the height sensor when travelling around corners with a large vehicle inclination.
On semitrailer vehicles, move the height sensors as far away to the left and
right of the vehicle centre as possible. Make sure that damage cannot be
caused when cornering.

Vehicle with mechanical suspension

Move the height sensor to the middle of the main axle. Make sure that structural
movement does not knock over or break the sensor.
Always use the bore hole 100 mm from the height sensor turning shaft.
The black lever on the height sensor is not to be extended because the load information would become imprecise and represent an incorrect braking pressure.
The lever on the height sensor must be directly connected to the rubber link of
lever 441 901 71. 2.
The lever is supplied complete, including two rubber links and connecting rod in
various lengths.
The connection to the axle is made with an angle iron welded to the axle.
For vehicles with two height sensors, the rear axle left height sensor must be
connected to the axle c-d sensed by ABS, and the front axle right height sensor
to axle e-f sensed by ABS.
WARNING
Malfunctions with TEBS E

Installing the wrong height sensors can cause malfunctions with TEBS E.
The height sensor should not be installed on tag or lifting axles.

Installation of 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 clearance lights can be connected directly on the ELEX to GIO11.
Additional information on the components, see chapter 7.1.1 TailGUARD functions
, page 127.
The TailGUARD function is only possible with the ISO 7638 connection plugged in.
A 24N supply is not sufficient.
LIN ultrasonic sensors
WARNING
Risk of accidents: TailGUARD function not available due to incorrect installation of LIN ultrasonic sensors
Install the LIN ultrasonic sensors according to the diagrams.
If the LIN ultrasonic sensors are installed incorrectly, objects may not be detected so that the correct function of the system cannot be guaranteed.
The LIN ultrasonic sensors are not to be mounted in a U-profile because this could
cause reflections. It is recommended to mount the LIN ultrasonic sensors mechanically protected to avoid damage when the system is deactivated.
The surface where the LIN ultrasonic sensor is mounted must be level and must be
a minimum of 2 mm bigger than the LIN ultrasonic sensor (protection of drainage
holes in the rear against direct high-pressure cleaning).

Installation of eTASC
Assembly
Installing the eTASC is similar to the TASC. A detailed description can be found in
the catalogue TASC - Function and Installation, see chapter 4 Introduction,
page 12 => Section More information.
Mounting is compatible with TASC and the standard Rotary Slide Valves. In case
of any space problems, the eTASC device can be turned in 90 steps to accommodate proper installation. If the device is installed in possible turned angles, the
lever can be removed and re-mounted to pointing down the Stop position.
Pneumatic tubing is suggested to use size 12x1.5 mm in order to achieve optimal raising and lowering times.
If the cross-section of tubing between the eTASC device and the air bellows is too
small, or the length of the tubing is too long, the Trailer EBS E may not correctly
identify the manual actuation of the eTASC. Recommended tubing diameters and
lengths are shown in the following table.
A direct tube must be connected from a T-piece to the pressure sensor at Trailer
EBS E (port 5) for detecting the axle load. The T-piece to be installed in such way
that the tube goes straight through to port 5 (no elbow air flow) connecting eTASC
and the nearest set of air bellows. When using star-shaped connectors/distributors
at the air bellows, the pressure sensor connection from Trailer EBS E needs to
route directly to the distributor.

Parameter definition with TEBS E Diagnostic Software
Introduction
WABCO offers TEBS E as a universal system that must be adjusted to the respective vehicle type by means of parameters. TEBS E cannot function without such a
configuration.
The TEBS E Diagnostic Software is used for setting the parameters. For series
production of vehicles, prepared parameter sets can be copied into the TEBS E.
Please note that new modulators required the TEBS E Diagnostic Software of the
most recent version.
User guidance in the TEBS E Diagnostic Software follows the required configuration steps. Operation of the program is self-explanatory and additionally there is a
comprehensive help system within the software.
Parameter setting is started by means of the Start-up menu. Applications
and functions are logically grouped on the different screens which are
easily opened using tabs. Settings are defined by clicking option fields,
selecting text fields or entering numbers.
The tab Connectors on the right-hand side of the screen allows assigning GIO
functions to the different GIO slots.
If more GIO functions are required than the slots available on the TEBS E, the
Premium modulator must be used in combination with ELEX.
There are 7 parameter-definable connections (GIO1-7) on the TEBS E modulator
and 4 parameter-definable connections (GIO13-16) on the ELEX.
Standard configurations have been defined to facilitate the process of setting parameters and GIO port assignments for standard applications, see chapter 12.4
GIO diagram, page 210. These standard configurations show the maximum possible connection to the TEBS E modulator from a simple semitrailer with the RTR
function up to the 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 selected first. The respective parameter set suitable for this is stored in the TEBS E
Diagnostic Software (under the GIO diagram number).
The TEBS E Modulator pin assignments 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.
Offline parameter setting
Defining a parameter set directly on the vehicle is easier because the type of the
connected TEBS E Modulator is recognised automatically. But a parameter set can
also be prepared in advance, without a vehicle, for subsequent use on the PC.

Requirements for parameter setting

TEBS E system training is necessary to create a parameter set. Only after receiving the PIN are you authorised to make changes using the TEBS E Diagnostic
Software see chapter 11.2 System training and PIN, page 184.
There is a new PIN for TEBS E2 or higher, therefore another training
course is required. Speak to your WABCO partner.

TEBS E
Start-up of the LIN ultrasonic sensors

PWM-ultrasonic sensors (TailGUARDlight) have not been learned.
Reflections cannot be masked out.
Requirements: For start-up of the ultrasonic sensors and TailGUARD system, reverse gear must be engaged.
Normal EOL test

Initialisation of the LIN ultrasonic sensors is carried out in three steps as part of the
end-of-line test:
1. Teaching the LIN ultrasonic sensors
2. Reflection test
3. Test body detection
1. Teaching the LIN ultrasonic sensors
The LIN ultrasonic sensors must be learned to detect the position on the vehicle after installing.
In the TEBS E Diagnostic Software click on Measured values, TailGUARD.
Go to window TailGUARD and click on button Start initial start-up.
This requires covering the LIN ultrasonic sensors for 1-2 seconds each, the following sequence must be stricly followed:
Main level: 1-left 2-right 3-middle
Additional level: 4-left 5-right 6-middle
The LIN ultrasonic sensor to be covered flashes.
If a LIN ultrasonic sensor has been detected, the position lamps of the vehicle flash one time and the next LIN ultrasonic sensor that has to be learned
flashes in the image (see window TailGUARD).
2. Reflection test
After the LIN ultrasonic sensors are learned, a test is performed to find whether reflections occur and the LIN ultrasonic sensors incorrectly detect objects on the vehicle as hindrances.
For this test, an area of 2.5 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 Mask reflections button to mask this reflection
out.
Another measurement is then made to determine whether reflections of
other objects have to be masked.
If objects are still detected, LIN ultrasonic sensors or attachment parts must
be positioned differently.
3. Test body detection
If the system is fault-free, an object test is performed.
This requires a test specimen, e.g. a plastic pipe, which 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.
The detected distance is shown in the TEBS E Diagnostic Software.
Confirm the position of the objects with button Object detected.
If the test specimen is detected properly, the End-of-Line bit in the ELEX is
deleted and the system is fault-free. The start-up was successful.
If the test was not successful, either the LIN ultrasonic sensors are being
learned in the wrong position or the parameters for the sensor distance have
been entered improperly. Check the parameters or the installation position of
the LIN ultrasonic sensors and repeat the test.
167
TEBS E
Start-up
Reduced EOL test

As of version TEBS E2.5 there is the option of reducing the EOL test.
The following conditions must be met for this:
Under Options, Settings, Test options the setting for the Object test
(optional) TailGUARD test must be selected.
The distance between the left and right LIN ultrasonic sensors is
1.6 - 2.4 m.
With three LIN ultrasonic sensors the middle LIN ultrasonic sensor
must be positioned centrally. A deviation of 30 cm to the left or right
of the central axis is permitted.
The installation depth of the LIN ultrasonic sensors is 35 cm maximum.
If all the conditions are met, the initialisation process changes:
Confirm the installation dimensions that were defined with the parameters. Only
then can the initialisation be reduced using the Distances correct, exit object
test button.
Continue as described under section Teaching the LIN ultrasonic sensors.
Additionally with three LIN ultrasonic sensors at the main level: After the last
LIN ultrasonic sensor has been learned, the position lamps are illuminated for 3
seconds.
The position of the middle LIN ultrasonic sensor must then be confirmed by
keeping it held again (position lights must go out).
If one of these conditions is not met, the normal EOL test must be carried out.
Echo test
Finally, the echo test is carried out. Leave an area of 2.5 m behind and 0.5 m at the
side of the vehicle as free space for this purpose.
If an object is detected, press the Mask reflections button to mask this reflection
out (see section Normal EOL test - Test for reflections).
The reflection test can be omitted for the EOL test if the following conditions apply:
The reflection test was previously carried out successfully at least once.
The structure of the vehicle's rear, i.e. the installation position of the ultrasonic
sensors, buffer, etc. is still identical.
A stable and series production with reliable processes is being used.
The reflection test can also be deselected via Options and Settings. However, this
is only recommended for standardised vehicles whose values are known and
where the reflection test has been carried out once.
After carrying out the test for the first time, the interference echo values must be
written to a file (only where interference echoes are found). The content of this file
should be added to the ECU file for the next vehicle.
When you start configuring with a modified ECU file, a dialogue appears asking
whether the values in the ECU file should be used. This is permitted only for vehicles with the same TailGUARD configuration and identical installation scenario.
In the case of new vehicles or changed installation conditions (e.g. more or differently arranged external components on the trailer rear), the reflection test must not
be deselected.

Calibrate the height sensors

For calibrating the height sensors, TEBS E system training or a successfully completed E-Learning course is mandatory.
Only after obtaining the PIN 2 are you authorised to perform the calibration, see
chapter 11.2 System training and PIN, page 184.
Prerequisites for a successful calibration

The characteristic curve range is 966 - 1660 Timer Ticks (TT).
Normal level I must be between 1139 - 1486 TT.
The upper calibration level must be greater than the sum of normal level I
(Normal 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 > normal level + 3x tolerance value of nominal
level + 5 mm
The lower calibration level value must be less than the difference of the normal
level minus 2 times the nominal level tolerance.
Formula: Lower calibration level < normal level - 2x tolerance value of nominal
level
Restricting cables are attached around the axles so that the body cannot be lifted
too far, in order to limit the maximum height.
A characteristic curve error appears in the diagnostic memory in the event of an
implausible calibration.
Move the vehicle into a horizontal position at the height of normal level before
starting the calibration.
3-point calibration
Application: for individual calibration of a vehicle.
This type of calibration corresponds to the standard ECAS systems.
Press the Start calibration button.
Adjust the vehicle to normal level I using the Lifting/Lowering buttons.
Press the Save normal level button.

An input field appears into which the distance between the load floor or the
top edge of the vehicle frame at normal level I relative to the road is entered
(in mm). Always measure the distance in the vicinity of the axle to be calibrated.
Adjust the vehicle to the upper level using the Lifting/Lowering buttons.
Press the Save upper level button.
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 Lifting/Lowering buttons.
Press the Save lower level button.
top edge of the vehicle frame at lower level relative to the road is entered (in
mm).
If the calibration was successful, a corresponding message appears.
169
TEBS E
Start-up
If the calibration was unsuccessful, make sure that the height sensor is installed properly. Change the lever length if necessary. Adjust the upper/lower level. Then repeat the calibration.
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 height sensor
is entered (between height sensor fulcrum and linkage anchor point) and the distance to upper and lower level in mm relative to normal level I. The value Angle of
rotation/compression travel is calculated automatically. Then normal level I needs
to be calibrated.
Enter the lever length between height sensor fulcrum 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 normal level I using the Lifting/Lowering buttons.
Press the Save normal level button.
If the calibration was unsuccessful, make sure that the height sensor is installed properly. Change the lever length if necessary. Adjust the upper/lower level. Then repeat the calibration.
Calibration Load calibration data from file
Application: Recommended for large series production.
Calibration data is determined using a sample vehicle and saved with Write calibration data to file. Data can be saved directly to a *.ECU parameter file. This data is
then read out during the calibration and written to the ECU. A separate adjustment
to the level is not required. The prerequisite for this is that the position of the height
sensor, the lever length as well as the length of the linkage to the axle are identical
in all vehicles.
Choose Load calibration data from file from the file window.
Following calibration of the 1st axle, repeat the calibration process for the 2nd axle.
9.4.1
Calibration for vehicles with mechanical suspension

In the case of vehicles with mechanical suspension, the height sensor must be
calibrated.
Check in advance that the lever length of the height sensor is 100 mm and that
the vehicle is unladen.

Function
Indication of the axle load (with version ELEX1 or higher)
A T appears (total mass), after 2 seconds the total mass is displayed:
In the left-hand column, one LED corresponds to 10,000 kg mass respectively
In the middle column, one LED corresponds to 1,000 kg mass respectively
In the right-hand column, one LED corresponds to 100 kg mass respectively
Example: 2x 10,000 kg + 4x 1,000 kg + 8x 100 kg = 24,800 kg

The +/- buttons can be pressed to switch to any axle and display its load.
Pressing the +/- button once will display the currently selected axle: T = total mass 1 = axle 1 2 = axle 2 etc.
Pressing the +/- button again will select the desired axle.
The selected axle is indicated for 2 seconds before the load on this axle is shown automatically by the LED rows.
The TEBS E Diagnostic Software can be used to define the maximum permissible axle loads.
If the permissible axle load for one axle or the permissible total load is exceeded, the system automatically
switches to the axle with the overload and shows its load.
While an overload condition is detected, the display flashes and a warning tone is output which can be deactivated
by pressing a button.
Disabling: Touch button again.
Notes:
The axle loads are determined through the bellows pressures. Their accuracy therefore depends on the LSV values parameterised for axle load and bellows pressure.
If the axles are under tension, the bellows pressures do not reflect the actual axle load (loaded axles: if the wheels
want to turn, but cannot, since the brakes are applied).
The axle load can therefore only be measured if the vehicle is not under tension (relieve chassis/suspension by
releasing the brake, then reapply the brake).
The measurement may be inaccurate if the vehicle is not at normal level.

11.5 Replacement and repair

General safety instructions
Only qualified personnel of a specialist workshop only are authorised to perform
repair work on a vehicle.
Make sure to follow the specifications and instructions of the vehicle manufacturer.
Always comply with the company's accident prevention regulations as well as national regulations.
Use protective equipment if required.
Replacing the TEBS E Modulator
An older TEBS E Modulator can be replaced by a TEBS E Modulator of the same
or a newer version.
One exception: Modulators of version TEBS E4 and higher do not support Trailer
Central Electronics.
In most cases it can make sense to use a reconditioned modulator.

Prior to removing the old modulator the parameter set should be read out and
saved to the diagnosis computer wherever possible.
After the TEBS E Modulator has been replaced, the parameter set must be newly
written back and a start-up procedure needs to be carried out.
With TEBS E4 or higher the odometer reading of a newly installed
modulator can be increased to the actual mileage of the vehicle.
TEBS E system training or a successfully completed E-Learning course is necessary for replacing the TEBS E modulator with protected parameter set. Only after
obtaining the PIN2 are you authorised to perform the replacement, see chapter 11.2 System training and PIN, page 184.
Replacing the LIN ultrasonic sensors
When replacing the LIN ultrasonic sensors, they must be re-calibrated, see chapter 9.3 Start-up of the LIN ultrasonic sensors, page 167.

Workshop notes
11.6 Tuning the vehicle

If there are wear or adjustment problems between the towing and trailer vehicles,
the TEBS E Diagnostic Software can be used for setting a predominance or a delay with the Predominance parameter see chapter 9.1 Parameter definition with
TEBS E Diagnostic Software, page 165 => Window TEBS - LSV.
Change the braking 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 determine 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 = Deceleration approximately 12 %
6,5 bar = Deceleration approximately 55 %
If the start of braking is above 0.8 bar, the threshold pressures on all the
wheel brakes must be measured.
Check the response pressures of all wheel brakes
Provide the vehicle with compressed air and power.
Connect the TEBS E Diagnostic Software.
Click on Control, pressure test.
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 braking 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 compare this value with the parameterised value.
You may need to set the newly determined value in the parameters.
Example
Defined response pressure = 0.3 bar
measured:
1st axle right = 0.6 bar; 2nd axle right = 0.5 bar; 3rd axle right = 0.5 bar
1st axle left = 0.5 bar; 2nd axle left = 0.5 bar; 3rd axle left = 0.6 bar
Average threshold = 0.53 bar => rounded to 0.5 bar
The difference between the two values of 0.2 bar must be added to the braking
pressures.
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
190
Workshop notes
TEBS E
11
Any modifications to the control - and braking 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. Contact your vehicle manufacturer in this case.
Setting a predominance
In the TEBS E Diagnostic Software there is a field Predominance. 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 9.5
Documentation, page 171.

Workshop notes
11.7 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 guarantee the best possible processing.
Return the TEBS E modulators in the box for the new or replacement unit to WABCO via used-parts-return. Only this way is the
modulator protected sufficiently to be processed inexpensively.
Simply contact your WABCO partner.

CAUTION
Malfunctions in components and damages to components by crossing the cables

In some cases the cables look very similar (a 4-pole GIO connector and a 4-pole DIN bayonet for
example).
However, 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.
