HAYES AIR/ELECTRIC CONTROLLER: NEW MODEL


NeverEasy

Recommended Posts

While at the WCR, I had an opportunity to work on a Hayes brake controller and found it completely different from my simple rheostat/slider one.  This one was full of electronics.  After the problem was fixed (PFM) I checked the output voltage and current.  Both ramped up and down relative to air pressure much better and smoother than mine. I contacted Hayes and was given the new part number: HA100400C.  I ordered one today.

Hi Chet,

I have the same model number myself. Seems to work good.

Hi Phil,

It looks just like the old model on the outside. It is when you take the cover off you will see a difference. All electronics inside.

I noted the difference when I install one in a client's truck on Monday. First clue was the added white wire for a ground. Then I noticed a relay clicking inside. Appearance wise, they are identical.
