of a breakaway or trailer supply line failure.
• Protects trailer reservoir(s) air pressure in the event of
a breakaway or trailer supply line failure.
• Does not allow an automatic trailer spring brake application with air pressure loss in trailer reservoir(s).

• Allows the trailer spring brakes to be applied and released repeatedly with a failed trailer reservoir(s):
• Anti-compounding prevents an overriding service brake
signal while the trailer supply line is at atmospheric pressure.
• Does not allow service system charging if a failure occurs
in the parking brake circuit.

OPERATION
CHARGING BELOW 85 PSI (SEE FIGURE 3)
Air fl ows through the trailer supply line, enters the trailer supply port of the Bendix® SRC-7000™ trailer spring brake valve, sealing the anti-compound section. The air passes through the quick release portion and out of the delivery port to the spring brakes. The air pressure then releases the spring brakes.

CHARGING ABOVE 85 PSI (SEE FIGURE 4)
Once the air pressure in the valve builds to 85 psi, the air
pressure ows into the trailer service reservoir(s). The trailer braking system is now in the normal run mode. Service braking occurs through the trailer service relay valve.

PARK APPLICATION (SEE FIGURE 5)
To park the trailer, either the trailer air supply valve or the
system park control valve (in the tractor) is actuated. This
vents the trailer supply line. The service reservoir is sealed off. The quick release section, no longer under supply pressure, is moved by air pressure from the spring brake chamber. The exhaust opens, allowing air from the spring brakes to exhaust through the open passage.

OPERATION WITH A FAILED RESERVOIR (SEE FIGURE 6)
Should trailer reservoir pressure be lost, trailer service braking is no longer available. The Bendix® SRC-7000
valve's internal spring force will trap approximately 70 psi supply pressure, thus preventing spring brake parking.

FIGURE 7 - ANTI-COMPOUNDING APPLICA TION
ANTI-COMPOUNDING (SEE FIGURE 7)
The Bendix® SRC-7000™ trailer spring brake valve has
an anti-compounding feature. (See Figure 7.) A single
check valve in the SRC-7000™ valve cover prevents brake
compounding (simultaneous spring brake and service brake application), which creates extra load on foundation
brake components. If a trailer service application is being made and at the
same instant a park application is made, air in the service line closes the anti-compounding section of the SRC-7000
valve. The air then fl ows out of the supply port and
exhausts through the tractor protection control. Future
compounding is prevented by the closed tractor protection valve. The anti-compounding port should not be used on
towing trailers. See Figure 2.
GENERAL SAFETY GUIDELINES WARNING! PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW
THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO A VOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH:
When working on or around a vehicle, the following general precautions should be observed at all times.
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface, apply the parking brakes, and always block the wheels. Always wear safety glasses.
2. Stop the engine and remove ignition key when working under or around the vehicle. When
SUPPLY
DELIVERY
EXHAUST
working in the engine compartment, the engine should be shut off and the ignition key should be removed. Where circumstances require that the engine be in operation, EXTREME CAUTION should be used to prevent personal injury resulting from contact with moving, rotating, leaking, heated or electrically charged components.
3. Do not attempt to install, remove, disassemble or assemble a component until you have read and thoroughly understand the recommended procedures. Use only the proper tools and observe all precautions pertaining to use of those tools.
4. If the work is being performed on the vehicle’s air brake system, or any auxiliary pressurized air systems, make certain to drain the air pressure from all reservoirs before beginning ANY work on the vehicle. If the vehicle is equipped with a Bendix® AD-IS® air dryer system or a dryer reservoir module, be sure to drain the purge reservoir.
5. Following the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended procedures, deactivate the electrical system in a manner that safely removes all electrical power from the vehicle.
6. Never exceed manufacturer’s recommended pressures.
7. Never connect or disconnect a hose or line containing pressure; it may whip. Never remove a component or plug unless you are certain all system pressure has been depleted.
5
8. Use only genuine Bendix® brand replacement parts, components and kits. Replacement hardware, tubing, hose, fi ttings, etc. must be of equivalent size, type and strength as original equipment and be designed specifi cally for such applications and systems.
9. Components with stripped threads or damaged parts should be replaced rather than repaired. Do not attempt repairs requiring machining or welding unless specifi cally stated and approved by the vehicle and component manufacturer.
10.Prior to returning the vehicle to service, make certain all components and systems are restored to their proper operating condition.
11. For vehicles with Antilock T raction Control (ATC), the ATC function must be disabled (ATC indicator lamp should be ON) prior to performing any vehicle maintenance where one or more wheels on a drive axle are lifted off the ground and moving.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Important: Review the Bendix Warranty Policy before
performing any intrusive maintenance procedures. A
warranty may be voided if intrusive maintenance is performed during the warranty period.
No two vehicles operate under identical conditions, as
a result, maintenance intervals may vary. Experience is
a valuable guide in determining the best maintenance
interval for air brake system components. At a minimum,
the Bendix® SRC-7000™ trailer spring brake valve should
be inspected every 6 months or 1500 operating hours,
whichever comes fi rst, for proper operation. Should the SRC-7000™ valve not meet the elements of the operational tests noted in this document, further investigation and service of the valve may be required.
SERVICE CHECKS
1. Remove any accumulated contaminants. Visually inspect the valve’s exterior for excessive corrosion or physical damage. Replace the valve as necessary.
2. Inspect all air lines connected to the valve for signs of wear or physical damage. Repair or replace as necessary.
3. Test air line fi ttings for excessive leakage and tighten or replace as necessary.
OPERATIONAL AND LEAKAGE TESTS
Check the tractor dash gauge against a gauge known to be accurate before performing these tests. Connect the tractor air lines to the trailer on which the SRC-7000™ valve is to be tested. Block all wheels or hold the vehicles by means other than the air brakes.
1. Install a gauge in the trailer reservoir(s). Build the
tractor and trailer to full system pressure by placing the park control valve and the trailer air supply valve
in the charge position. As system pressure reaches approximately 75-95 psi, the trailer spring brakes should also build up to approximately 75-95 psi before the reservoir(s) begin to charge.
2. When full system pressure is reached, and the spring brakes are fully released, apply a soap solution to
the SRC-7000
valve exhaust port and the vent. A 1"
bubble in 5 seconds is permissible.
3. Place the trailer air supply valve in the exhaust position. The spring brakes should apply. Disconnect the trailer
supply line and apply a soap solution to check for leaks.
A 1" bubble in 5 seconds is permissible.
4. Reconnect the trailer supply hose coupling and recharge the trailer system. The spring brakes should release. Shut off the engine and then open the trailer reservoir drain cock. The tractor air system should bleed down to approximately 70 psi. The trailer spring brakes should remain released.
5. If the SRC-7000
valve does not function as described; or if leakage is excessive, repair the valve, or replace with a genuine Bendix® service replacement valve.
Leakage through the welds is acceptable.
REMOVAL
1. Identify and mark or label all air lines and their connections on the SRC-7000™ valve. Then disconnect the air lines.
2. Remove the SRC-7000
valve from the reservoir.
INSTALLATION
1. Install the SRC-7000™ valve on the reservoir.
2. Reconnect all air lines to the valve using the identifi cation
made in REMOVAL step 1.
3. Install all fi ttings 2 to 2-1/2 turns past fi nger tight.
4. Perform OPERATIONAL AND LEAKAGE TESTS before
placing the vehicle back in service.
