How It Works Elecbrakes is a trailer mounted electric brake controller, wired directly into the trailers electrical circuit via an easy to use “Plug & Play” . Elecbrakes draws power from the taillight circuit as well as the brake light circuit ensuring sufficient power is available for up to two braked axles.

Here’s how easy it is to install an electric brake controller with Elecbrakes 1. Mount the device onto the trailer draw bar Elecbrakes makes it easy to install an electric brake controller. All you need is your electric brake controller kit, an electric drill, a 2-3mm drill bit, a No. 2 phillips head driver, marker pen and lubricant. The Elecbrakes device can be mounted in various locations on the trailer. Just remember to place the device close enough to the trailer plug for it to be connected to both the trailer and the tow vehicle. We recommend mounting the device on either the inside or outside of the trailer draw bar. Step 1) Hold the device in the desired position and mark the drill holes for mounting on the draw bar. Step 2) Pre-drill the holes using a 2-3mm drill bit. Step 3) Lubricate screws before tightening. Step 4) Place unit in position and mount with your drill using self-tapping screws and a No. 2 phillips head driver bit. 2. Plug the loom into the trailer connection The plug and play version of the Elecbrakes device has identical functionality to the hardwired version. The difference is that it comes with waterproof connectors and the adaptors are pre-wired. This takes away any requirement for the user to splice Elecbrakes into the trailer’s existing circuits. To connect your device simply plug the trailer lead into the pre-wired adaptor and then plug the adaptor into the tow-vehicle’s trailer port. 3. Connect Device using smartphone app After mounting your Elecbrakes device to your trailer draw bar, all you have to do is connect to the controller with the smartphone app and you’re good to go. Step 1) Turn on your car headlights (to supply power to the elecbrakes device) and launch the app. Step 2) The app will open the search screen and display ‘…LOOKING FOR DEVICE.’ Step 3) When the connection is complete the circle on the screen will change to a blue tick icon. Step 4) To test the connection simply press down on the tow vehicle’s brake pedal and the circle on screen will change to a bright red. This indicates that the brake controller is working and the trailer brakes are being activated. Step 5) Release your foot off the brake pedal and the circle on screen returns to a blue tick icon.
For the ultimate in on-the-go brake response adjustment, our customers love the Elecbrakes in-car remote control. Once you have connected your device simply power up your remote and it will automatically connect to your brake controller. It will display a tick on screen when connected.
