Trailer electric drum brake – trailer mounted Australia’s cheapest, no-frills electric brake controller. Mount under the dash or on the trailer. Just 4 wires to connect.

Black wire – connect to the battery via 20 amp fuse 

Red wire – connect to brake lamp active.

Blue wire – connect to brakes – positive.

White wire – connect to brake lamp negative – negative.

The brake controller is activated by the driver from his normal seating position when he brakes. The brake controller is wired directly to the battery and directly to the brake lights. When the brake lights are activated, a contactor within the brake controller closes and allows current to flow directly to the brakes at a pre-determined voltage.

The knob on the brake controller must be present according to the weight of the trailer. Most trailers carry the same weight daily. For example, builders’ trailers, car carriers, pop tops, RV, etc the more the trailer is loaded, just turn the knob to a higher voltage before you commence your trip.

If weight is removed then turn the voltage down before you commence your trip. Multi-vehicles without brake controllers can tow trailers with trailer-mounted brake controllers. No longer do you need multiple brake controllers in all vehicles to tow the same trailer.
