A nosebox equipped with the PermaLogic feature manages power to the trailer dome lamps at the seven-way connection. By either manually switching the dome lamps on and off on the QBOX, stepping on the brake pedal to turn lamps off, allowing the system’s automatic timer to turn off the lamps or through a low voltage disconnect, the possibility of leaving trailer dome lamps on is eliminated. This saves the battery, and the expense and wasted valuable time of a roadside service call, Phillips says.
Phillips’ QBOX is designed to offer 50 percent more interior working space, keeping trailer wires organized and pinch-free. The durable STA-DRY housing protects the internal wiring against corrosion, chemicals and extreme weather. The QBOX also features Phillips’ QCS2 (quick-change socket), for fast and easy socket replacement that offers corrosion protection at the seven-way trailer connection, the company says.
The QBOX with PermaLogic is available to spec with or without circuit breakers. Retrofitting a QBOX already installed on a trailer to include the PermaLogic function requires a lid replacement rather than removal and installation of an entirely new nosebox.
