Function
ILAS-EP is used for electrically controlling the raising and lowering of one or more lift-axles with conventional air suspension systems.
On EB+ systems, a load-dependent output signal is used to provide electrical actuation of the ILAS-EP. For standard installations (without EB+), the ILAS-EP can also be controlled by means of a separate special pressure switch which has two adjustable pressure switching points (load dependent).
