The electronically controlled regulator will provide improved control accuracy and pressure control capabilities and the ability to digitally communicate via Bluetooth technology to a smart phone app. The Plug and Play regulator assembly is a direct replacement for the mechanical regulator assembly and is retrofittable.
The factory preset sealed-cover regulator assembly module doesn’t require mechanical adjustments. Each unit will have an identification decal with part number, serial number, and unit pressure setting and a QR code for access to technical support information.
According to the statement, this change will be implemented at the OEM and Aftermarket kit level November 15, 2022. The upper-level trailer OEM kit numbers will not change, just the regulator assembly number will be changed in the BOM of the kit.
The new TPP electronically controlled regulator assembly includes a new common connector with industry standard adapters that can interface with existing telematics units for the warning light status.
