Mkirsch nailed it on the head. However, if you wanted the controller to activate when the exhaust brake came on, you could run a wire between the EB and the controller's brake light wire such that when the EB comes on it activates the controller. That might also have the benefit of lighting up the brake lights, since EB's don't activate those either.

Mike
