Dont misunderstand me. The controllers I had were set up to work automatically as well. But if you chose to use the manual hand held trigger it would override the automatic control and apply the brakes manually however you wanted.
To be honest I have on very rare occasion pulled trailers that were heavier than legal limits. Commonly they are 14000 or so lbs loaded though. The trailer is rated for 18000 and the brakes on it work great. With the manual controller in my hand I never feared that I couldn't stop in most any panic situation. Never had that confidence with any of the pure automatic controllers. The trailer could drag that truck to a stop if it had no brakes. I have a prodigy in my other truck now but just dont like it. The ones mounted to the dash with manual control are OK unless you are downshifting at the same time. My trucks are manual trannys. I dont have anti-lock brakes on any of my trucks anymore. Dont trust them anymore either. I blame them for the only accident Ive had in the last 35 years. In my car they seem to work fine but they never could get them to work correctly in my trucks from day one when they were new.
