Area of application & product features

According to legal requirements, the failure of a turn signal must be indicated to the driver by a higher fl ashing frequency. When using LED indicators, the current fl ow on the left and right side of the indicator is measured. If the measured current is smaller than the specifi ed threshold, the fl ashing frequency is doubled. The attachment of LED accessory fl ashers can cause the current fl ow to diff er and lead to a change in the fl ashing frequency.

The mo.load is an adjustable load that allows the current fl ow to be increased in discrete steps to return to the original current.

The mo.load is only suitable for use on vehicles with OEM LED indicators. This means that if turn signals with light bulbs were installed on the vehicle in its factory state, it is not possible to use the mo.load.

Overview

Installation and connection

The mo.load housing heats up during operation. The attachment to the vehicle should be splash-proof, draft-free, away from hot engine and exhaust parts using two M4 screws or cable ties on a metal surface (e.g. frame tube).
The black connection wire is connected to the vehicle ground (battery negative pole). The other two connection wires are each connected to a left or right turn signal (either at the rear or front).

Setup

The mo.load has a rotary switch with 16 positions, which is adjusted with a small slotted screwdriver.
At rotary switch position 0 the load setting is 0W. With each additional clockwise rotary switch position the load is increased by 0.5W, up to a maximum of 7.5W in the last position F.

After installing the new LED indicators and the mo.load, the rotary switch is set to position 1 and the fl ashing frequency is checked. If the fl ashing frequency is not correct after 1 minute of fl ashing, switch off the vehicle ignition, move the rotary switch one position clockwise, switch on the ignition and fl ash again for 1 minute.

Repeat the process until the fl ashing frequency is correct.
