Decelerometer Commercial Vehicle Brake Testing<\/a><\/p>\n

The following criteria are required for all HGV brake testing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

All brake testing should be carried out away from the sites working area; this should be done in an area that has roughly level ground.<\/p>\n

The MOT performance figures are for the Peak Reading:<\/p>\n

Service Brake Bare Minimum 50 %
\nSecondary Brake Bare Minimum 25 %
\nParking Brake Bare Minimum 16 %<\/p>\n

Although the test requirement looks for a peak reading, you could use the relationship between the peak and average to determine brake performance, if you achieved a peak reading of say 51 – 58 this is not indicating good brakes, peak figures of 70 + can be achieved to indicate good brakes, even though high peaks are recorded if a low average is recorded (20 \u2013 30 example only) this would indicate bad brakes or you will more than likely fail a roller brake test!<\/p>\n

Brake Tester Position
\nThe brake tester should be positioned in the foot well of the vehicle, preferably up against a bulkhead with the direction of travel arrow pointing in the intended direction and with the tester straight.<\/p>\n

Vehicle Test Procedure
\nWith the vehicle stationary, position and arm the brake tester, accelerate the vehicle at a constant rate in a straight line up to a safe site speed then apply the brakes in an emergency stop manner, hold the vehicle on the brake until the vehicle has come to a complete rest.<\/p>\n

Arming The Brake Tester<\/a>
\nTurn the Decelerometer BrakeCheck <\/a>on by pressing and holding MENU until Sbr is displayed on the screen.
\nPress ENTER, the display will now show the level indicator L-| |-, if this is not the case re-position the BrakeCheck until achieved.
\nPress ENTER the display should now read 0.00 \u00b1 5. As described above accelerate and brake.
\nThe peak reading will report at the end of the test, if the display still shows L-| |- you did not press ENTER!!
\nWith the Peak reading displayed press ENTER, this will show the average reading. Pressing ENTER again shows further information.<\/p>\n

For a Hand Brake Test press MENU twice, this is while the service brake results are displayed; the display should now show Hbr. Now go to the second paragraph under \u201cArming The Brake Tester\u201d to carry out a test.<\/p>\n

For a Secondary Brake Test press MENU three times, this is while the hand brake results are displayed, and the display should now show SEc. Now go to the second paragraph under \u201cArming The Brake Tester\u201d to carry out a test.<\/p>\n
