This guide covers installation of all RidePRO e3®, LevelPRO™ and AirPod™ systems. It is
important to know what system you are installing and what sections pertain to your
application. Check below to ensure you understand your system’s conguration.

AirPod™ electronics & controls are identical
to LevelPRO™ and RidePRO e3® systems
LevelPRO™ systems use level sensors
& air pressure sensors
RidePROe3® systems use
pressure sensors only
Systems covered in this manual:
Skipping the Calibration:
Upon initial installation the E3 requests that you perform the Calibration Sequence.
The Calibration does not need to be run upon initial installation. If the vehicle is
still in the build stages you can postpone Calibration until the vehicle is complete.
You still have full manual control of each air spring and the pressure readings
from each air spring are displayed on the screen.
However, until the Calibration Sequence has been completed your preset
functionality will not perform properly.
Calibration:
During the Calibration sequence the e3 records information specic to the vehicle in which it is installed (inate and deate speed, if level sensors are
present, how long the compressors take to ll the storage tank, etc.) The e3 then uses this information to attain the proper preset heights in the fewest
possible steps, using the most intelligent method. For example, after calibration the e3 knows that the front of the vehicle is heavier and therefore
slower than the rear, so it will inate the front rst then allow the rear to catch up just as the vehicle is achieving ride height.
Calibration Steps: (items in red require user interface, other steps are automatically completed)
1. Releasing all air - this provides a solid starting point for the Calibration sequence
2. Locating tank pressure sensor - locates and checks the tank sensor
3. Locating air spring pressure sensors - locates and checks the air spring pressure sensors
4. User must raise to Max, then press and hold Preset #3 - sets the upper limit of suspension travel
5. Locates level sensors (if present) - level sensors will be automatically displayed if present
6. Determines suspension type - dierent suspension types will utilize dierent software to achieve preset heights
7. User must set Preset #2 - allows the user to set the Ride Height
8. Check vehicle speed to and from Preset #2 - the e3 will utilize this information to achieve Ride Height in the fewest possible steps using the most
intelligent method
9. Determines how much air pressure is required to slightly lift the vehicle - this information allows the e3 to more eciently manage air usage
10. Determines vehicle speed from lowered height to Preset #2 - the e3 will utilize this information to achieve Ride Height in the fewest possible
steps using the most intelligent method
11. Deates down to Preset #1 - tests the system for deating to Preset #1
12. Uses Calibration data to travel to Preset #2 - tests the system for inating to Preset #2
13. Calibration complete
