Road Master Brake Alarm Settings

Updated 03/30/2021 | Published 03/25/2021

Question:

I get that you can change the alarm settings on the RM-9530 from 30 seconds, to 60, 90, and 120. Im accidently at 120. How do I get it back to 30? I cant find that anywhere, so figure its pretty basic. Thanks!

I called the manufacturer to verify and yes, Roadmaster Universal Brake Monitor, # RM-9530 is on a loop. So what you did to move forward from 30 to 60, then to 90 and then 120, move forward once more to return to 30 second setting.

From the manual:

"The “Status” light is flashing bright red; the “Brake” light is flashing yellow; accompanied with an audible alarm.

The towed vehicle’s brakes have been on continuously for 30 seconds (for example, at a long stop light). Pump the motorhome brakes to reset the 30 second timer. Alternatively, press the “Silence” button once — the timer will now alarm only after 60 seconds of continuous braking. If the “Silence” button is pressed again after the alarm at 60 seconds, it will reset the timer to only alarm after 90 seconds. This can be extended once more to 120 seconds."

At this point repeat once more to return to the first step in the loop.
