Help Identify this brake controller

Hi all -

Just wondering if anyone can tell me what kind of controller this is. I have a couple of dials on it, so I was trying to research what they do, but there is absolutely no identification what-so-ever on the controller.

Does anybody recognize what it is?

I dont know either. The dial adjusts the gain. The lever manually activates the breaks.

Thanks for the reponse - the problem I'm having is on the underside there is another dial. I'm trying to figure out what they two of them do.

One is how much pressure you want on the brakes.... adjust until the RV wheels stop as hard as you want them to. The other is the speed at which they start braking.

Thanks for the response! I was trying to see if I could notice any difference with the bottom dial, but I couldn't. I'll have to spend more time on it. Keep you updated.
