Braking

Disc brake system Brake System: Arvin Meritor Elsa 225H air disc brake with sliding brake calliper. Disc: 430 mm anti-conical disc with air ducts. System Air Pressure: 12,5 bar Brake friction pads The new brake pad thickness is 19mm. Brake pads should be replaced when they fall to 3 mm thickness. Vehicles with disc brakes have a sensor on each brake that constantly measures the amount of wear. The display screen shows how many kilometers the pad of the brake pad on each axle will go in <>. Data is collected for a predetermined period of time based on the driver and usage conditions, and is displayed on the display as an hourglass. Different wear between right and left brake pad, brake pad sensor error, general error, remaining brake pad life under 6% and installing worn brake pad under 35% are shown on the display in <<--->> and the problem should be solved by going to service. When the amount of brake lining in any brake approaches the end, the driver is informed with the warning light. After the warning light turns on, the problem should be

solved by going to the nearest service. An indicator lever is available on the brake to allow monitoring of the lining thickness besides the percentage indication on the display. Linings shall be replaced when the indicator lever is fully worn. Ss the service life of the lining shall differ greatly due to causes such as vehicle load, operating conditions etc., monitor the lining thickness periodically from the display or check it every month with the indicator lever on the brakes when it is not possible to monitor it from the display.
