ATC Hobby Caravan Anti-Skid System
Product description
Permanent safety when driving a car/trailer combination
Anyone who has experienced a critical driving situation with a trailer knows how sensitively trailers or caravans react at higher speeds - and the dangers that threaten! Small evasive manoeuvres, crosswinds on bridges, etc. bring the trailer quickly to a halt. There is a significant danger that the trailer will "rock" and become uncontrollable. AL-KO does not recommend driving a trailer without these "emergency electronics"!
ESP for the car, ATC for the trailer!
Simple function: Similar to the ESP in a car, the AL-KO ATC permanently controls the handling of the trailer or caravan.
In driving situations that cause the trailer to skid, the lateral acceleration sensors of the control electronics detect even the slightest lateral movement. The trailer is braked immediately - without the driver's influence. A few seconds of braking power are sufficient to bring the trailer back to a safe driving condition. The AL-KO ATC stabilisation system can be operated in addition to a trailer ESP in the car, which some car manufacturers provide.
Please note: ATC Trail Control is only available for AL-KO chassis!
Delivery ex works: Delivery is directly from the factory. The delivery time is approximately 2 weeks!

No. A sufficient power supply cannot be achieved with a 7-pin connector. - Where does the light diode have to be installed?
In the vicinity of the control device. - Does the braking light come on when the ATC is working?
No. The ATC brakes gently, comparable to a motor brake on the car. The activation of the brake light is not required. - Does the ATC have to be maintained?
No. The system is maintenance-free. - How do I know that the ATC is ready for operation?
As soon as the 13-pin plug is connected to the towing vehicle, ATC performs a complete self-check (1 brake operation and plausibility check of the electronic system). The functional status is indicated by a green LED on the control device.
Green = ready
Red = out of service (but ready to drive)
Flashing red = trailer braking (not ready to drive) - In the car, how do I know that the ATC emergency system is working?
A gentle deceleration is noticeable in the car.
