INTELLA-STOP ULTRA
™
Electronic Brake Control
For 2, 4, 6 and 8 brake applications
READ THIS FIRST:
Read and follow all instructions carefully before
installing or operating the INTELLA-STOP ™ ULTRA.
Keep these instructions with the brake control for
future reference.
Components of the Brake Control
A. Power Knob
B. Boost Button
C. Manual Knob
D. Connector (For Wiring Harness)
E. Mounting Hole (1 per side)
Important Facts to Remember
1. Do not mount or activate RF generating items
(cell phones, two way radios) near (less than 12")
the brake control.
2. CAUTION Reversing the connection to a break-
away battery on the trailer will destroy the
INTELLA-STOP ™ ULTRA.
3. CAUTION Disconnect trailer plug from the tow
vehicle prior to testing a breakaway switch or you
may destroy the INTELLA-STOP ™ ULTRA.
4. The INTELLA-STOP ™ ULTRA employs an
inertial sensor. It senses deceleration and
generates an output that is based on deceleration,
thus the term "Proportional Braking".
5. The INTELLA-STOP ™ ULTRA will "HOLD"
your trailer with 25% of power setting while
you are at a standstill with brake pedal applied
for longer than 5 seconds.
6. The INTELLA-STOP ™ ULTRA will brake
proportionally in reverse. It will apply the
appropriate brake voltage based on deceleration.
7. For Technical Assistance and Warranty

8. WARNING The Gross Combined Weight Rating
(GCWR) must never exceed the vehicle

Installation Guide
WARNING The INTELLA-STOP
must be mounted from 0 degrees to 70 degrees
nose up. (See Below).
In hilly terrain it is advisable to leave a margin at
either extent to keep bars from coming on when going
up and down hills. When mounted near level the lower
bars may come on during heavy acceleration (see
Trouble-shooting Chart). This will not affect the
performance during braking.
Failure to install the INTELLA-STOP
these constraints may cause impaired performance.
Wiring Brake Control
Your INTELLA-STOP ™ ULTRA brake control has a new
and unique connector located at the back of the control.
This connector allows you two options to wire your
brake control.
Option 1:
Use Pigtail Wiring Harness included. This harness can
be installed by following the Generic Wiring Guide.
Option 2:
Use a Ford, Dodge or GM specific wiring harness.
If your vehicle came with a factory tow package
that included a 7-way connector, you can purchase
a Tekonsha OEM wiring harness with the INTELLA-
STOP ™ ULTRA connector on one end and your
specific vehicle's connector on the other. See Generic
Wiring Guide, for location of your vehicle's connector.
Display Readings after Wiring the INTELLA-STOP

• Manual Knob Activated without trailer
• Manual knob activated (with trailer), 5.4 denotes a
hypothetical power output. This value is set using
the power knob. Range is 0.0 to 13 volts. This is
an indication of voltage output to electric brakes.
• Power to INTELLA-STOP ™
in power saving mode (no motion or activity for at
least fifteen minutes).

Adjusting the Power to the Trailer
Brakes
Once the control has been securely mounted within
the 0 to 70-degree range, it is necessary to set the power
needed to stop the trailer during a braking event.
1. Connect trailer to tow vehicle.
2. With engine running hold manual full left and set
Power Knob to indicate 6.0
3. Drive tow vehicle and trailer on a dry level paved
surface at 25 mph and fully apply manual knob.
✓
If trailer brakes lock up:
❑
Turn power down using power knob.
✓
If braking was not sufficient:
❑
Turn power up using power knob.
4. Repeat Step (3) until power has been set to a
point just below wheel lock up or at a sufficient
force as to achieve maximum braking power.
5. Using the brake pedal, make a few low speed
stops to check the power setting. Trailer braking
is initiated and terminated via the stoplight switch.
When the brake pedal is released, trailer braking
will cease.
