ABOUT ELECTRIC BRAKE
CONTROLLERS
The trailer will brake at the proportional rate provided by the brake controller.
The Elecbrakes EB2 unit is activated by the brake light voltage.
It measures the braking force and applies it to the trailer.
Push the brake pedal in the vehicle or use the manual override.

A brake controller, as the name suggests, is a device that controls the braking force
on the trailers brakes. It does this by varying its output based on how hard you apply
the brakes in the vehicle. This is called proportional braking. The brake controller also
allows the user to adjust braking sensitivity and apply manual override which applies
trailer brakes only.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE:
Depending on the mass of your trailer you may be legally required to
use an active braking system. The EB2 can be used for both electric
and electric-over-hydraulic braking systems. Reference the ADR38/05
standard for more information.
