The AL-KO iQ7 is the latest in power assisted braking,
designed to significantly improve stopping performance
and safety for trailers with hydraulic brakes, especially large boat trailers.
It allows immediate brake
application the instant it is required. And iQ7 includes inbuilt
breakaway technology to stop your trailer if it becomes
detached from the tow vehicle. No other parts are required.
Meet your legal requirements
In addition AL-KO iQ7 enables you to meet the legal
requirement that all trailers with a loaded weight exceeding
two tonnes (2.5 tonnes in New Zealand) must incorporate
power assisted brake application.
Until recently the most
popular solution was to fit a vacuum or compressed air
system to the tow vehicle, but not only is this very expensive
it often also means that the warranty of the tow vehicle is
voided.
Fitting the AL-KO iQ7 system allows the legal use of
hydraulic disc brakes for towed vehicles and trailers over 2
tonne in Australia and 2.5 tonne in New Zealand, and also
provides superior stopping performance.
The bottom line is you'll enjoy superior safety and peace
of mind while knowing AL-KO iQ7 has been designed and
manufactured in Australia for Australian conditions, backed
by AL-KO's global expertise in towing safety.
When an emergency braking situation occurs, the common
downfall of some earlier electro-hydraulic brake actuators
was time-lag or delayed response time.
This is due to the
delay in receiving a signal from the controller and the time
taken for the electric drive motor to pump enough fluid to
activate the master cylinder.
AL-KO has addressed this, not
only through its advanced XTREME electronic controller but,
by utilising a compressed air reservoir to provide instant
activation of the hydraulic master cylinder. This has resulted
in an unparalleled response time.
Only AL-KO iQ7 stores compressed air within a pressure
chamber, allowing immediate brake application the instant
it is required.
The ultimate in reliability
AL-KO iQ7 has been equipped with the latest superior
computer processor circuit technology for maximum
reliability. AL-KO has also completed over 220,000 cycle
tests on iQ7.
This level of testing simulates the equivalent
of setting off on an average of 42 trips per year over 10
years, without iQ7 experiencing any problems. This re-enforces
the quality and reliability of the technology.
To complete the offer of complete peace of mind, AL-KO provides a market leading 3 year warranty (When installed by an Authorised AL-KO iQ7 Installer).
There are two iQ7 models available. iQ7 and iQ7 XTREME.
iQ7 can be used with your existing brake controller while iQ7 XTREME has additional
features for ultimate safety and performance (controller, mouse and pedal).
Maximum hydraulic pressure for IQ7 is 6.9 Mpa (1000psi) and fluid displacement of 21cc. Check that the pressure available is adequate for the brakes being used and the number of brakes does not exceed the available fluid displacement. For braking requirements, please refer to Vehicle Standards Bulletin VSB1.
