- White Wire: Ground (negative terminal of the battery)
- Blue Wire: Trailer Electric Brakes
- Black Wire: Power (positive terminal of the battery)
- Red Wire: Stoplight Switch (cold side)
Universal Wiring Steps
-
Connect White Wire:
- Attach directly to the negative terminal of the vehicle’s battery using a ring terminal.
- Grounding to another location may cause intermittent operation or failure.
-
Connect Black Wire:
- Install a 20-amp fuse (30 amps for 6 or 8 brake systems) or circuit breaker between the black wire and the positive terminal of the battery.
-
Connect Red Wire:
- Locate the cold side of the stoplight switch using a circuit tester. This wire is powered only when the brake pedal is pressed.
- Splice the red wire into this switch wire using a butt connector.
-
Connect Blue Wire:
- Route the blue wire to the trailer brake output on the vehicle-side connector.
- Secure all wiring with cable ties to prevent movement or damage.
Operation and Adjustment:
LED Indicators
- Red Dot: Trailer is connected.
- No Display: Trailer is not connected.
- “SC” Display: Short circuit in brake wiring.
Power Adjustment
- Use the +/- buttons on the top of the unit to adjust the power level.
- Display shows power as a percentage (5 = lowest, 99 = highest) in increments of 5%.
- Begin with a mid-range setting (e.g., 50) and adjust as necessary during testing.
Sensitivity Adjustment
- Use the “S” button to adjust trailer braking sensitivity.
- 1: Least sensitive.
- 5: Most sensitive.
Testing and Fine-Tuning:
- Connect the trailer and test drive on a dry, open area at approximately 20-25 mph.
- Apply the brakes aggressively and observe trailer response.
- If trailer brakes lock up, reduce power using the (-) button.
- If braking feels weak, increase power using the (+) button.
- Repeat adjustments until smooth, effective braking is achieved.
Safety Notes:
- This brake control is inertia-activated. When the vehicle is stationary, it will not automatically apply the trailer brakes unless the manual slide is activated.
- Avoid mounting RF-generating devices (e.g., cell phones, two-way radios) within 15 inches of the unit.
- Do not reverse battery polarity. This brake control is not reverse-polarity protected.
Specifications:
- Brake Applications: 2, 4, 6, or 8 brake systems.
- Voltage Requirements: 12V DC.
- Fuse/Circuit Breaker: 20 amps for 2-4 brakes, 30 amps for 6-8 brakes.
