Features

The NEW IMPROVED EB2 electric brake controller revolutionising the way you tow.

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” adaptor. 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.

  • Suitable to use with caravans, horse floats, boat trailers, trade trailers, vehicle trailers and farm trailers
  • New App now compatible with CarPlay
  • Integrated Deutsch Plug
  • EB2 is built to last. With the intelligence to regulate itself with thermal protection and short circuit protection.
  • EB2 Brake controller features NFC Powered Tap&Tow Connecton
  • ADR compliant. Backed by an Australian owned company Elecbrakes™, you get immediate & reliable support with an Aussie made product. A Brake Controller is required to adhere to the relevant ADR standards in order to be legal. Elecbrakes allows a trailer towing up to 4500Kg ATM to comply. The laws around trailer braking can be found in the Australian Design Rules (ADRs) The ADR pertaining to service brake requirements is 38/05.

    Elecbrakes meets the requirements of ADR 38/05, where by means of the control signal we can progressively increase and decrease the brake settings from the driver’s seat. This is done via the in car remote control.

  • Easy DIY setup. Anyone can install Elecbrakes' Plug & Play system in as little as 10 minutes, with no electrical experience needed
  • Trailer mounted. Since the brake controller isn't mounted to the vehicle, any friends, family or hirers have the flexibility to tow your trailer without any dashboard modifications
    • All other Electric Brake Controllers on the market have to be hard wired into the vehicle. Not only does this limit you to using just that vehicle to tow your trailer with electric brakes but you also have to add the cost of installation of the electric brake controller to your vehicle. Then when you sell that vehicle you lose your electric brake controller and have to start again.
  • 5 user-definted programs. Set and save smooth proportional brake responses for different driving conditions and towing weights
  • Smooth journeys – Elecbrakes’ seamless, proportional braking minimises jerks or jolts. For horse trailers, this will help horses stay calm and comfortable on the road.
  • CERTIFIED IP67 WATERPROOF & DUSTPROOF & SHOCKPROOF Made in Australia and designed to withstand everything our rugged country can throw at it. Elecbrakes brake controllers are built to last using Urethane resin encased electronics. Perfect for boat trailers

FAQs

How does Elecbrakes work?

Elecbrakes is a trailer mounted brake controller that connects to the trailer’s existing electrical circuits. This can be wired in with a user who has electrical know-how or by an auto-electrician. The unit can also be connected very easily with our “Plug & Play” adaptor which requires no wiring knowledge. With either method,the unit is powered through both the tail light circuit and the brake light circuit. 

The trailer brakes are activated by the Elecbrakes unit when the driver applies the brake pedal in the tow vehicle. The trailer brakes are applied with a proportional degree of force based on how hard the tow vehicle is braked.

Read more here: How It Works

Do I need to drive with my lights turned on?

Yes. Unless you have auxiliary power wired up in your tow vehicle, you will need to keep your headlights on at all times to power the brake controller. Brake controllers require a constant power source to operate the trailer braking systems. With Elecbrakes being trailer mounted the common option on all vehicles is the tail light circuit when the headlights are activated on full beam. If the preference is to drive without the headlights on then a constant power source must be provided from the tow vehicle. This should be 12/24v and a minimum of 10 amps. Typically this can be Pin 2 in 7 pin plugs or pin 9 on a 12 pin plug. This constant power feed comes directly from the tow vehicles battery though a protected circuit. House batteries on trailers are not recommended.

What happens if the bluetooth connection drops out?

Elecbrakes searches at 2/100th of a second. The unit will reconnect, however the loss of Bluetooth connectivity does not impact the ability of the trailer to brake. Elecbrakes always brakes the trailer and will continue to work at the last settings set. The only functionality that would be hampered in this case would be the program change and manual override button from the remote. If the connection was to drop out the driver could pull over and reconnect. But it is very rare that this would happen.

What else do I need to use Elecbrakes with my boat trailer?

Brake controllers do NOT supply the operating power to the actuator, only the braking response. Please see the instructions supplied by your actuator manufacturer for their recommended power supply method.

Boat trailers using the electric over hydraulic actuator system to operate the hydraulic braking system on the trailer require an electric brake controller to operate.

The most common actuators also require that the brake controller is capable of proportional voltage output. In addition the actuator will require its own power source to operate. This could be in the existing trailer plug via an auxiliary circuit from the tow vehicles battery, or an Anderson plug. Please refer to the wiring guide for the required amperage supply required by the actuator to operate.

If the vehicle is a 24 volt system then the brake controller will regulate this input to manage 12 volt variable output as required at the actuator (as long as it has multivolt capability). Elecbrakes has this multivolt capability and is compatible with both 12 and 24 volt tow vehicles.

Just to reiterate, brake controllers do NOT supply the operating power to the actuator, only the braking response. If you are unsure whether you have a power supply for your actuator please confirm with your actuator supplier before purchasing an Elecbrakes unit.

How does Elecbrakes power the brakes on the trailer?

We use the available amperage from both the tail light and brake light circuits. These circuits are 10 amps each. A magnet has a maximum draw of 4 amps as rated by the manufacturers. We limit the amp draw to 8 amps on each circuit. This allows us to support braking on a dual axle trailer all wheels braked in the standard wiring mode.

You can read more about this here: Can Standard Trailer Wiring Power Electric Brakes?

What does 'Proportional Brake Control' mean?

Elecbrakes is a proportional brake controller. We use an accelerometer and microprocessors to measure the braking force applied when the vehicle is braking and then apply the same braking force to the trailer’s brakes. What this means in layman’s terms is that the braking of the trailer/caravan/horse float should be smooth and seamless with no jolting.

What does 'Multiple Braking Programs' mean?

Elecbrakes has 5 braking programs for the user. Each of these can be used to save a settings profile with adjustments made by the user that affect the braking response. These adjustments can be made to match certain driving conditions or where the load varies on the trailer. Once setup these settings are stored in the Elecbrakes unit. This function limits the need to adjust the brakes when driving. First time setup is all you need. From there it is as simple as picking the brake program required and activating it on the in car controller.

Why is this system more expensive than some others?

 

Elecbrakes has been created with the intention to make towing easier by removing the need to install a new brake controller when you purchase a new car, allowing you to install your brake controller without the assistance of an auto electrician and superior brake efficiency to make the most of every trip. This means you save money every time you buy a new car and no longer require the installation cost of a new controller. We use the highest quality parts and workmanship to create a product that will last you a lifetime.
