Electric Trailer Brake Controllers - User-Controlled Benefits • Ensures safe braking when towing • Trailer mount model allows towing from multiple tow vehicles

Features • Compact size • LED status and braking force indication • Override option for independent trailer brake activation • Simple gain adjustment for variation in braking force

REDARC Electric Trailer Brake Controllers - User-Controlled, offer an easy to use method of controlling the electric brakes on a trailer. Designed for use with any trailer with electric brakes, the amount of braking force can be adjusted with the turn of a knob. The REDARC electric trailer brake controller (EB) and Trailer Mount Electric Trailer Brake Controller (EBTM) provides an easy to operate method of controlling electric brakes on a trailer, camper-trailer, boat trailer or caravan. The trailer behaves exactly as expected whenever the vehicle’s brakes are applied. The LED indicator on the EB trailer brake controller glows green when a trailer with electric brakes is plugged in. Application of the brakes from the foot brake or the manual button on the controller will change the LED to red - the shade of red indicating to what degree the brakes are being applied.

REDARC recommend using a Tow-Pro Elite in three axle, 24 volt vehicles. See page 33 for more information.

EBTM trailer mount electric trailer brake controller The EB brake controller has the option of an encapsulated trailer mount unit. As the manual button is not needed it has been removed and the EBTM requires an auxiliary 12 volt available at the trailer socket. You should ensure the 12 volt supply in the trailer is adequate to supply sufficient power for safe braking. Apart from this, the unit operates the same way that the standard EB does. Confirm with local transport authorities regarding the usage for trailer mount electric trailer brake controllers in your state.
