The ATR-2

™

 antilock traction relay valve is a specialized air

brake valve developed for use on Bendix antilock/traction
equipped tractors only.

It is essentially three separate valves working in combination
in a single housing.  An R-14

™

 style service relay valve is

the base valve and is fitted with a modified cover containing
a bobtail tractor brake proportioning valve (reference Bendix
Service Data Sheet SD-03-1067) and a traction control
solenoid.  The ATR-2

™

 valve contains both air and electric

components and provides both the service braking and
traction control (differential braking) functions.  A Bendix
antilock traction controller can be mounted to the ATR-2

™

valve or a cover plate can be installed and the antilock
controller mounted elsewhere on the vehicle.

The ATR-2

™

 valve replaces the standard relay valve used to

control the rear axle service brakes and performs the
standard relay function during tractor-trailer operation.  During
tractor bobtail operation, the ATR-2

™

 valve reduces brake

application pressure to the lighter rear axle(s) brakes to
improve vehicle controllability and minimize rear axle(s)
wheel skid before antilock is required.  The ATR-2

™

 valve

provides added vehicle braking control and reduces the
number of times antilock is actually needed.

Like the standard relay valve it replaces, the ATR-2

™

 valve

and its attached antilock controller is normally mounted
near the service brakes it serves.  A mounting bracket,
furnished with the valve, permits either frame or cross
member mounting.  All air connections on the ATR-2

™

 valve

are identified with cast, embossed letters for ease of
identification and installation.  The letter identification and
air line connections are shown below for reference.

The ATR-2

™

 valve is part of the R-12

™

 family of relay valves

which includes the R-12

™

, R-14

™

, BP-R1

™

, AR-1

™

 valves.

The internal components of the relay portion of all of these
valves are interchangeable with the R-12

™

 valve and therefore

the same basic components are used to service all of them.

The ATR-2

™

 valve is available with various crack pressures

to accommodate specific applications, however the standard
is 4 psi.

NOTE: AN OPTIONAL COVER PLATE IS INSTALLED OVER THE TOP WHEN THE

ATR-2

™

 VALVE IS MOUNTED REMOTE FROM THE ANTILOCK TRACTION CONTROLLER
