Frequently
Asked Questions
1.
Will it drain the battery of the towed vehicle?
The Apollo system will sustain battery
life for up to 4 days depending on terrain.
2.
How does it recognize terrain?
The Apollo system has a built-in logic
sensor. The Apollo unit is digital and analyzes actions every ¼
of a second, through a computer chip that adjusts accordingly
not only to the different road terrains but even to the drivers
habits.
3.
How does it sense to apply the brakes?
The logic sensor is able to sense a change
of inertia.
4.
Do you have to install anything?
With just the Apollo you will have to
adjust the seat and hook up spring loaded clamp to the brake
pedal, and plug the power cord into the lighter, that is it. The
transmitter will have to be wired to the cold side of the brake
pedal and also plug into the lighter adapter.
5.
Does it have enough pressure to apply the brakes on a dead
pedal?
The Apollo system is designed to actuate
the towed vehicles dead pedal. Air pressure can be adjusted
according to the weight of the towed vehicle.
6.
Do you have to wire anything to the coach on the remote light?
No!! It just plugs into the lighter.
7.
Does the pressure gauge show the amount of force pushing on the
brake pedal?
No!! It shows how much pressure is being
applied to the cylinder inside the unit.
8.
Is there any brackets that need to be mounted to the floor of
the car?
NO!!!
9.
Do you need strap to pull the brake pedal back?
No, air pressure is applied to pull the
brake pedal back.
10. What is the install time?
Apollo installation time is 3 min.,
Wireless Remote dash light indicator installation time is 10-15
min. and Apollo breakaway system is 30 min.
11.
What activates the light on the remote light kit?
The light is activated when the brakes are
applied in the towed vehicle by the Apollo unit. The wireless
remote transmitter senses actual current flow to brake lights
and transmits a digital signal to the receiver in the coach,
illuminating an indicator light showing that the brakes are
applied in the towed vehicle, not just the box.
12.
Will the transmitter in the car be able to transmit from under
the dash?
The transmitter will be able to be
properly transmit from under the dash or in the trunk.
13.
Does the indicator cut into the towed vehicle's brake lines?
The Remote Indicator connects to the
existing cold wire on the brake pedal switch. This allows the
RV'er to accurately monitor when the brakes are actually applied
not when the unit is activated. The Apollo is the only unit on
the market, which offers different frequencies. This allows our
mutual customer to travel in caravans or attend other group
functions without interference.
14.
Will the outside case withstand the operating conditions in a
towed vehicle?
The Apollo's outside case is
composed of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) plastic, the
same plastic used to make trim for the interior of automobiles.
The ABS plastic is highly durable and will withstand extreme
temperatures comparable with those of our competitors.
