It is not necessary to have the tow bar approved by an expert or inspector after installation or to have it registered on the vehicle papers. Transportsysteme24 GmbH is the official authorized partner of the Oris / ACPS brand. What is the towable mass? The towable mass defines the maximum total weight allowed, with which a vehicle equipped with a suitable tow bar can tow a trailer.

Depending on the type and version of the vehicle (engine power), this may vary. You can find the maximum authorized trailer load for your vehicle in your registration certificate. Where can I find this entry in the vehicle documents?

Depending on the age of the vehicle, you will find the value in the vehicle registration certificate. Take the value from zone F. 3 and subtract it from the value of zone F. To calculate the maximum authorized towable mass for the vehicle. In exceptional cases, this value can be increased by calculation.

Please follow the instructions on the vehicle registration certificate - especially for slope indications. For the tow bars we offer, you will find the maximum authorized trailer load of the trailer hitch in the product view technical data.

Important: If the maximum towing load value of the vehicle and the trailer hitch are not identical, the lower value always applies. Example: If a maximum authorized trailer load of 1,500 kg is indicated in the vehicle document, but the associated trailer hitch has a tested trailer load of 1,800 kg, only 1,500 kg can still be towed. Under certain conditions, an increase in the trailer load may be requested for the vehicle. This requires approval from the respective vehicle manufacturer such as Audi, BMW, Mercedes... The vehicle must then be presented to an expert. With the test certificate you receive from them, you can have the change recorded in your vehicle documents at the registration office. The authorized trailer load in kilograms can be determined as follows: Formula for calculating value D: (Total weight Towable mass 9.81) / (Total weight + Towing capacity) Towable mass calculation formula: (value D total weight) / (total weight 9.81 - value D) Static mass calculation formula according to the 4% rule: Towable mass 0.04 GF = (authorized total weight of the vehicle in kg) see vehicle registration D = (value D in kN) see nameplate/mounting instructions of the tow bar. What is a bumper cutout? During the bumper cutout, a piece of the bumper is cut out on the rear part of the vehicle. It is important to note that there are visible and non-visible bumper cutouts. This depends individually on the bumper design. Trailer hitch manufacturers always strive to avoid bumper cutouts. If this is not possible, the cutout is limited to the bare minimum.

If the bumper must be modified, you can always find the instructions in the respective installation manual of the item. If a cutout is necessary, you will also find the dimensions or a template defining the size of the desired cutout. Tip: For the cutout, use a jigsaw with a fine saw blade, as it allows you to work with plastic very easily and especially with precision. To make the cut edges smooth again, you can carefully heat them with a lighter. Professionals can also do this with a Bunsen burner or a "Blue-Fire".

But keep enough distance to shape perfectly. The maximum weight that can be applied vertically from above on the tow ball of the trailer hitch. The authorized vertical load of the vehicle can be found in the vehicle manual under the point "trailer use". The maximum static mass of each tow bar device is indicated on the homologation plate and in the installation instructions. Tip: If you want to mount a rear bike carrier with an electric bike on your tow bar, you must absolutely pay attention to a high static mass. Important: What if the vertical load values between the vehicle and the trailer hitch are not identical? Example: If the manufacturer has authorized a maximum vertical load of 75 kg for the vehicle and the trailer hitch has an approved vertical load of 60 kg, the hitch value is decisive. In this example, it would be 60 kg. In this case, the lower value always applies. This value of a trailer hitch is expressed in Kilo-Newton and serves as the basis for calculating the permissible trailer load. The value D is determined and checked once and remains unchanged. Only the value D and the authorized vertical load are indicated on the trailer hitch homologation plate. The indication of value D determines the bandwidth during a modification reception according to § 19 (3) StVZO (German road traffic regulations). For example, it is possible to modify the authorized total weight by varying the towable load accordingly, without a new inspection. The required value D according to directive 94/20/CE can be determined as follows: GF = (authorized total weight of the vehicle in kg) see vehicle registration GA = (authorized towable load of the vehicle in kg) see vehicle registration.

What is a foldable socket holder? The socket is mounted on a support plate with a hinge and can be folded under the bumper. It is not an obligation, but simply an improvement in appearance. Many detachable and swivel trailer hitches are equipped with retractable sockets.

We even have some rigid hitches with this feature in our range. Info: The construction of a tow bar with a foldable socket holder depends on the presence of sufficient space between the cross tube of the tow bar and the rear part of the vehicle. Is an inspection by the CT necessary? Almost all trailer hitches from our range have a homologation plate and are therefore tested according to directive "94/20". Such a hitch can be used on the public road without further expertise.

According to Article 27, paragraph 1 of the StVZO (German road traffic regulations), a trailer hitch retrofitted with a homologation plate should only be added during the "next vehicle registration document check" at the registration office. However, according to clause 1a, any possible modification of the authorized towable load resulting from the installation of the tow bar must be reported immediately. After the installation of a trailer hitch requiring an individual inspection at the technical inspection, we provide a certificate, with which you must have an individual inspection after installation. You will receive a document with which you must have the change entered immediately in your vehicle papers at the registration office. National brand (M, F, N).

The same conditions as for the individual technical inspection process apply here. The only difference is that these trailer hitches have a permanently assigned homologation certification. Info: A trailer hitch tested according to EC94/20 meets the following criteria: - the trailer hitch has a valid homologation plate with all necessary data - the distance between the tow ball and the bumper and the road surface complies with the regulations. The construction has passed the dynamic endurance test with 2 million load changes. All prescribed mounting locations by the vehicle manufacturer have been followed. Important: The installation instructions must be included in the vehicle papers and must be in the vehicle! What is the installation time? The installation time of a tow bar is indicated by the tow bar manufacturer. This time is limited exclusively to the installation of the product. It does not include, for example, the installation or fitting of the bumper. Tips: To avoid calculation errors, calculate the specified indicative values with a factor of two. Experience shows that this comes closest to the actual installation time. What is a socket support plate?

The socket, whether 7 or 13 pins, is always attached to the socket support plate with 3 screws. Some trailer hitches are even equipped with a folding function. What is a homologation plate? Each tow bar must be equipped with a homologation plate to avoid canceling the vehicle's circulation authorization.

A homologation plate must contain the following information: - Tow ball diameter - Homologation number - Series or manufacturing data - Static mass kg - Value D in kN - Type Info: Feel free to ask us for the corresponding document. When using a bike or a cargo carrier, it is necessary to install extension #190648#. Only then will the rear fog light of the vehicle automatically turn off, as required by law. Compatible with additional kit for more permanent.

Deactivation of rear radar sensors. More permanent integrated, pin 9.

Connection to the trailer socket. The socket allows you to connect to the trailer socket and ensures the electrical connection between the car and the trailer. What does 7 pins mean?

A simple connection that is sufficient to meet legal requirements. Like all 7-pin harnesses, special functions such as permanent power supply or reverse lights (on the trailer) are not possible. What does 13 pins mean? This is a waterproof connector with simple handling.

In the meantime, this variant has become the standard for original equipment. Signaling functions and permanent power supply or reverse lights can be transmitted without any problems. Additional free pins are also available and offer useful options, especially in the camping area.

What does an original connector mean? The connections between the vehicle and the electrical kit are made using existing connectors, which eliminates any wiring errors. What does a diagnosis require? Modern electrical kits are equipped with trailer control modules capable of exchanging data with the vehicle's control units. Some functions, such as deactivation of backup sensors, trailer stabilization, and deactivation of rear fog lights, only work when both computers have learned to communicate with each other. Therefore, it is necessary to perform a corresponding coding on the vehicle using a diagnostic tester. The current driving situation of the car is monitored by sensors installed on the vehicle. Once the trailer plug is connected, the vehicle recognizes the "trailer" operating mode and monitors all dynamic movements of the vehicle. If the trailer is in a critical state, the vehicle's onboard computer assists the driver in regaining control of the situation. Info: - TSP, Trailer-Stability-Program - TSM, Trailer-Sway-Mitigation - TSA, Trailer-Stability-Assist Technical note: Trailer stabilization only works if an electrical kit assists it.

For this purpose, the electrical kit must be registered in the vehicle's data bus system through activation. Vehicles that do not have TSP as standard cannot be equipped with this function using a compatible electrical kit with TSP.

What is a universal harness? A universal electrical kit is suitable for different brands and types of vehicles, but is not specific to any particular model. Characteristic features: - Connection is made to the power wires. The functions of each wire must be identified. The wiring must be shortened or extended if necessary. The installation instructions do not refer to specific vehicle characteristics. Tip: If possible, always buy a specific vehicle electrical kit, as assembly errors are almost excluded. What is a specific harness? A specific electrical harness has been specially developed for a specific vehicle.

Before marketing a specific electrical kit, a test installation is carried out on the specific vehicle to ensure its proper operation. Typical features: - prefabricated connectors - exact cable lengths - installation instructions describe all necessary work steps in text or pictograms for correct installation. Info: There are vehicle-specific electrical kits that are also suitable for several vehicle models, as vehicles are often built on the same platform, regardless of the manufacturer! Advice: Specific electrical kits save installation time and therefore money.

What does pre-assembled socket mean? One end of the cable harness is already connected to the socket. This facilitates installation and saves valuable installation time. What is a socket with screw terminals? The socket insert has connection locations for cable attachment with a screw terminal that makes contact. What is a socket with crimp terminals? In the case of a crimp socket, the wires are already installed in the contact support.

This results in a gas-tight compression of the cable with the contact plug, ensuring an optimal contact connection. What is deactivation of rear fog lights? When deactivating the fog light system, the rear fog lights of the towing vehicle are turned off. Regardless of whether the trailer has its own fog light system. Note: When using a rear bike carrier with its own lighting units, it is mandatory for the rear fog light of the car to be turned off (in Germany).

CAN data bus technology (also called Controller-Area-Network) is the technical term for a special type of data transmission in a vehicle. It manages the electronic network of a modern car and connects the majority of control devices. Info: A modern car contains up to 70 control units to exchange data between them, which then allow the best adapted functions. It is a bulb failure check that indicates to the driver, on the dashboard, by a visual symbol, a faulty lighting such as turn signals, brake lights, etc. What is a flasher relay or flasher relay?

Flasher relays also called flasher relays, have the function of transmitting the flashing impulse to the turn signals of the vehicle or, if applicable, the trailer. In case of malfunction, the flashing frequency changes. What is a trailer computer? The trailer computer partially or completely regulates the trailer lighting. The impulse usually comes from the rear lights of the vehicle, which the control unit transmits to the trailer.

Trailer detection functions to indicate to the towing vehicle whether a trailer or a bike carrier is attached. This is often done by means of a microswitch integrated into the power socket. What is a C2 indicator? The C2 indicator is an additional green indicator.

It must be placed on the dashboard, within the driver's field of vision. Info: On some vehicle types, a C2 indicator is already equipped to be controlled by the flasher relay. Practical: In trailer mode, the C2 indicator flashes at the same time as the standard turn signal indicator.

Even without a trailer, it can flash up to three times, but then it must go out! What is a wiring diagram? In the wiring diagram of a 7 or 13-pin socket, it is defined which cable occupies which contact of the socket. Cable identification is done by colors.

The socket contacts are identified by numbers and letters. A microswitch is a small electrical switch integrated into the electrical kit socket. It can be used for different functions such as deactivation of the EPH, trailer detection, etc. What is a central connector?

Some vehicles are already ready to receive a "factory electrical kit." In such cases, there is one or more central connectors, which are ready to serve as connection points for the trailer cable set.

What is a permanent power supply? The additional permanent power supply is a continuous 12Volt voltage that provides a constant current to contact "no. 9" and is only possible for 13-pin trailer sockets according to DIN/ISO 11446.

What is a charging cable? A battery in the trailer can be charged with a charging cable while driving. This works via contact "no. 10", a 13-pin socket according to DIN/ISO 11446 standard.

As soon as the contact is cut off, the power supply is interrupted by a cutoff relay. More offers for this type of trailer hitch. We distribute items from the following manufacturers. Even more reasons to order from TS24. Our experienced staff will be happy to advise you.
