D 6/14© 2008 Hopkins Manufacturing Corporation The Break-Away is an important part of the BrakeBuddy system and is required by law in most states. Do not operate your BrakeBuddy without a properly functioning Break-Away. Installing Junction Box 1. Find a convenient, sturdy place on the front of your towed vehicle to mount the junction box (B). This should be installed on the driver’s side of the vehicle if possible. 2. Clean the mounting surface and attach the velcro patch (J) (Fig. 2). 3. Attach the junction box (B) to the velcro patch (J) so the pin with the ring faces forward and the wiring harness feeds back into the engine compartment. 4. Place the mounting bracket (C) over the junction box (B) and mark the hole locations to be drilled and tapped. 5. Remove bracket (C) and junction box (B). Drill marked holes with a1/8” metal drill bit. NOTE: For thin sheet metal or plastic, it may be necessary to reinforce the plastic or thin metal to ensure the bracket will not separate from the vehicle when the break-away pin is pulled. If you are going to drill through thicker metal, use hex socket head capscrews (D). You will need to drill a hole using a #25 drill bit and tap the hole using a 10-24 tap. 6. Replace the junction box (B) and attach the bracket (C) using hex socket head capscrews (D) or sheet metal screws (G) provided (Fig. 3). 7. Locate a place in the firewall that will allow the wiring harness to be fed through into the drivers’ side compartment of the towed vehicle. Use of an existing hole would be most convenient. 8. If there is no existing hole, drill a 15/32” diameter hole through the firewall (Fig. 4 / K). Be careful not to drill into any functional components of the vehicle. 9. Starting from the junction box (Fig. 4 / B), route the black electrical wire up to the firewall FIG. 2 FIG. 3 B C D G J K M H B BREAK-AWAY INSTALLATION FIG. 4 Dedicated to towing safety TM Phone (800) 470-2287 Brakebuddy.com Pg. 2 311-0288-062 Rev.

Secure using the nylon ties (I) provided (Fig. 4 / M). 10. Feed the black wire through the hole in the firewall and into the passenger compartment (Fig. 5). 11. Place the split rubber grommet provided (H) over the black electrical wire (Fig. 6) and slide it into the 15/32” hole and fasten it into place (Fig. 7). NOTE: Failure to properly install the 15/32” rubber grommet may result in harmful fumes entering the vehicle, or damage to the wires. Using the Break-Away System After attaching your towed vehicle to your coach and all hook-ups are complete, you will need to attach the break-away cable (A) from the junction box (B) to the motorhome. On the motorhome end attach to a permanent location. The frame of the vehicle is recommended. DO NOT attach or wrap the cable around the tow bar, hitch or bumper. 1. Attach the small clip on the cable (A) to the loop on the pull pin of the junction box (Fig. 8 / O), and then attach the large clip to the motorhome (Fig. 8 / P). The coiled break- away cable fits all applications and needs no adjustment. 2. Setup the BrakeBuddy in your towed vehicle and plug the junction box wire harness into the receptacles on top of the BrakeBuddy (Fig. 9 / Q). 3. Before the start of every trip, pull the break- away pin to test that the break-away system activates the Brake Buddy. 4. When the use of the towed vehicle is needed, simply unhook the small clip from the loop on the pull pin of the junction box (B). Unplug the junction box wire harness from the BrakeBuddy and coil the wire under the dashboard or under your floor mat (Fig. 10). FIG. 5 FIG. 6 FIG. 7 FIG. 9 FIG. 10…

In support of this request, Hopkins Manufacturing Corporation submits the following information. CONFIDENTIAL FILES Conf BlkDia BB006.pdf Conf OpDes BB006.pdf Conf Schem BB006.pdf 1. Identification of the specific information for which confidential treatment is sought: The materials set forth in the Operational Description, block diagram, parts list, and Schematics, which are segregated, from the non-confidential exhibits of the application, are those for which confidentiality is sought. 2. Identification of the Commission proceeding in which the information was submitted or a description of the circumstances giving rise to the submission: The proceeding is that involving the application for equipment authorization (certification) under FCC ID No: TJJ-BB006 3. Explanation of the degree to which the information is commercial or financial, or contains a trade secret or is privileged: This material includes a detailed theory of operation, circuit diagrams, and schematic. As such, this material is treated as highly confidential business information. ROGERS LABS, INC. 4405 West 259 th Terrace Louisburg, KS 66053 913 837-3214 Page 2 of 2 4. Explanation of the degree to which the information concerns a service that is subject to competition: The material for which confidentiality is sought is employed in the design and manufacture of this transmitting equipment that is offered on a highly competitive basis. Customers for this equipment have a variety of competing sources. 5. Explanation of how disclosure of the information could result in substantial competitive harm: Disclosure would, in effect, give away the fruits of the labors of Hopkins Manufacturing Corporation’s engineering personnel, who have designed the equipment and the manufacturing process. Disclosure would also offer competitors additional unwarranted insight into the state of the product development, thereby allowing competitors an advantage, not available to Hopkins Manufacturing Corporation 6. Identification of any measures taken by the submitting party to prevent unauthorized disclosure: The information for which confidential treatment is sought is kept confidential by Hopkins Manufacturing Corporation and not made available to third parties except pursuant to non-disclosure agreements. 7. Identification of whether the information is available to the public and the extent of any previous disclosure of the information to third parties: To the knowledge of those preparing this application, the information has not been disclosed publicly heretofore. While the general theory of operation of this equipment has been the subject of numerous disclosures in industry and standards groups as well as in rule making proceedings of the FCC, the protection sought is narrowly drawn and pertains to certain specific implementations of this radio technology. 8. Justification of the period during which the submitting party asserts that the material should not be available for public disclosure: This material should not be disclosed for at least 25 years. While improvements in design are made relatively frequently, disclosure of the design information would lead to insights into both design and manufacturing techniques that could have an adverse competitive effect for many years to come. As such, it is important that the design not be made available to unauthorized persons who might attempt to use knowledge of the design to compromise the applications for which the equipment will be employed. Should you require any further information, please contact the undersigned. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Sincerely, Scot Rogers
