Should the Titan Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator Run Continuously if the Breakaway Pin is Pulled

Question:

My question is when the breakaway switch is pulled and the pump is on but it doesnt shut off unless I the key back in or disconnect from battery, Is this normal? or is it supposed to stop when 1500 PSI is reached.

If the breakaway pin is pulled then the electric over hydraulic actuator, such as # T4813102, will pump fluid back to the brakes to stop the trailer. The pressure would already have been built up in a real-world scenario.

But if you pull the pin the unit will run continuously until either it is shut down manually (by inserting the breakaway pin or key in the switch) or the battery runs out of power (note: the unit should not be run dry for more than 10 seconds). This is explained in the bleeding the brakes section of the instructions linked for reference.
