AL-KO ATC CONTROL SYSTEM
7-Pin Connection
ATC can be connected via the auxiliary 12S
(white/grey) plug and requires power on
Pins 4 (permanent supply) and 3 (earth).
Please ensure that your vehicle towbar is
correctly connected to ensure correct ATC
operation. This can be checked with the use
of a multimeter. Important - A 20 amp fuse is
required for the constant 12V supply to Pin 4
on the 12S socket. If only a single fuse is fitted
to supply both Pins 4 and Pin 6, the power
supply capability of the installation must be
checked and a minimum fuse rating of 25
Amps must be used.
13 Pin Connection
ATC can be connected via the 13-Pin plug and
requires power on Pins 9 (permanent supply)
and 13 (earth). Please ensure that your vehicle
towbar is correctly connected to ensure
correct ATC operation. This can be checked
with the use of a multimeter.
Operating instructions
After coupling the caravan correctly to the
towing vehicle, connect the 12N & 12S plugs
or the 13 Pin plug to the towbar.
Upon connection, ATC will carry out an initial
self test and the LED light on the front fairing
will light up RED. During the self test, the
sound of the push rod moving inside ATC can
be heard. When the self test is complete, the
LED will turn GREEN or flashing GREEN to
signal that ATC is active. If the LED does not
change to green, then ATC is not functioning
correctly. The table provided on page 168
details what to do in this case. Prior to
commencing any journey, ensure that the
caravan lighting is fully operational and check
the vehicle is loaded appropriately, the nose
weight and tyre pressures are correct, and
confirm that the caravan is coupled to the
vehicle with the breakaway cable correctly
applied. Always re-check the ATC LED is
green after any interval during a journey, such
as a service station break.
Troubleshooting
Should you experience a fault with ATC, the
LED light on the fairing will change colour.
Therefore, refer to the table on page 168 and
follow the instructions. If no illumination of the
LED is evident, refer to system requirements
on page 169 and check towbar wiring for
permanent supply.
In the unlikely event that you receive a red
flashing LED light and disconnecting and
re-connecting the power does not alleviate
the problem, check the push rod position as
detailed below. Locate ATC on the axle and
check the position of the push rod. If no red
line is visible, ATC is not active, and can be
driven. However, we recommend that you
contact AL-KO at the earliest convenience.
If the red line is visible on the push rod, as
shown on the left, the caravan should not be
moved. The push rod needs to be removed to
deactivate ATC. Using two 17mm spanners,
the removal process is as shown opposite.
Note:
Please be aware your ATC is live all of
the time your 13pin connection is made. If the
car and caravan are stood for a long period of
time (e.g. ferry crossing) the ATC will continue
to draw power from your battery.
