Question:
I have a bkr2012 Patriot brake box that's missing its remote. Can I adjust force at the unit? Does a replacement remote exist for sale?

Hello Tom.
You can absolutely adjust the unit without the remote, which is awesome because we no longer have a remote for that unit. Here is how to do it:
Adjusting the Gain/Sensitivity:
- Ensure the unit is properly installed and powered on.
- Use the jog switch on the unit to navigate to the gain (or sensitivity) setting.
- Adjust the gain/or sensitivity to the desired level.

Hey Tom, how did adjusting the gain on your Patriot brake box go using the jog switch? Your update could make it easier for the next person working without a remote.
