Abstract: A pressure control device has a device body partially delimiting a first circuit side opening, a second circuit side opening, and a conduit having a first conduit portion connectable to a first circuit to receive a first circuit fluid at a first circuit pressure and a second conduit portion connectable to a second circuit to receive a second circuit fluid at a second circuit pressure. A pressure adjusting mechanism controls the first and/or second circuit pressure to reach an actuating pressure. When at least one of the first and second circuit pressures is lower than a threshold pressure, the pressure adjusting mechanism prevents fluid passages between the first and second conduit portions to actuate either a first or a second braking device. When the first and second circuit pressures are both higher than the threshold pressure, the pressure control connects the first and second conduit portions to actuate the first and second braking devices.
