Category Spotlight Battery Service and Electrical Work EVALUATE COMPONENTS FROM 200’ AWAY The IPA 12-Function Remote Control, No. MUT-RM12, works with the company’s line of Super MUTT trailer testers to evaluate several components from more than 200’ away. Users can test all electrical circuitry, air brakes and access ABS codes. The remote mirrors the onboard features of the Super MUTT. Remote-controlled testing and diagnostics allow the Super MUTT to guide a technician through 91 critical points of inspection and testing. Testing Mode assesses the trailer’s electrical circuitry to identify wiring problems often missed during routine inspections. If a problem is found, the Super MUTT instantaneously shifts into Diagnostic/Pulsar Mode. In the case of a short circuit, Pulsar Mode will continue to monitor circuit condition. Once the short is found and repaired, the Pulsar feature will restore current to the circuit.
