I was able to find the following produce for adjusting the pendulum on the Kelsey Brake Controller:

"Depress the brake pedal just far enough to illuminate the tow vehicle brake lights. Use a finger to pull the pendulum leveling arm (a small lever on the left side of the unit) toward the front of the Kelsey trailer brake controller and confirm that this makes the control module indicator light glow brightly. Push the pendulum leveling arm slowly in the opposite direction until the control module indicator light is at its dimmest. Release the brake pedal."

If this is not what you are looking for then please just let me know.
