Abstract
A versatile automobile pneumatic suspension control unit and vehicle anti theft device. The microprocessor based unit allows precise calibration and operation of all manufacturer's air suspension bags and incorporates a system for deflation of all vehicle air bags so as to place the vehicle body directly onto the vehicle chassis and tires so as to disable operation of the vehicle. The unit has programmable valve timing, preset suspension configuration buttons and can be operated remotely via a key fob transmitter.
Claims17
A universal pneumatic suspension control unit for adjusting the air pressure in a pneumatic vehicle suspension system comprising:
- a programmable logic controller capable of internal calibration by the user for operation with various electronic signal transducers with differing signal output curves, and capable of a pulsed solenoid air valve inflation and deflation of said pneumatic suspension system, and capable of user programmable variable solenoid valve timing wherein the period and frequency of said solenoid air valve opening can be programmed into said PLC;
- and
- a signal distribution module connected to said programmable logic controller, system pressure transducers and system solenoid valves by wires.
