Installation & Operating Instructions
Please read these instructions before use
The EBC range is a new generation of brake controllers
utilising microprocessor based technology. It is a compact,
rugged, all electronic brake controller and is easily installed
with the connection of four wires and the mounting bracket
supplied. Easily adjustable via the front display and
simple up, down controls. Both models also incorporate
an emergency over-ride slide lever for manual control.
Designed for both single and dual axle trailers using
negative earth (ground) systems only. Available in 12V &
the new 24V version eliminating the need for a separate
reducer on 24V systems.

Installation :
1. Disconnect the vehicle’s NEGATIVE battery terminal.
2. Determine a suitable mounting location. The unit must be mounted securely to a solid surface and be easily accessible to the driver.
3. Hold the mounting bracket in the selected position and mark the hole location through the holes in the bracket.
4. Using a suitable drill bit, drill holes in the marked locations.
5. Secure bracket in position with self tapping screws being careful not to strip the holes by over-tightening.
6. Mount the brake control unit in the bracket by snapping into position.

• Digital Display For Accurate Set-Up And Ease Of Use
• Easy adjustment Via Two Push-buttons
• Open circuit & Overload Indication and protection
• Convenient Over-Ride Slide Lever
Note : The EBC-24 is load activated and can not be tested without load. At no load, output reading of 24V will register.
Pleas note that the output voltage is PULSED, so it cannot be measured with a volt meter or test light.

• 2 Axel 12A Output Capability
• Top Or bottom Mounting Via The Multi Position Bracket
• Can Be Mounted On Any Angle
Black Wire: +VDC
White Wire: 0V DC

Warranty Conditions: The product is warranted to be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service
for a period of 24 months from the date of sale. This warranty covers defective parts and workmanship provided that the product
is shipped prepaid to the seller within 24 months of purchase of goods. This warranty is limited to the repair or replacement (at the
manufacturers’ discretion) of parts and shipping prepaid to the original despatch destination. We regret that no liability can be accepted
for consequential or special damages of any kind howsoever arising in connection with products supplied by the seller. This warranty
is in lieu of all other warranties expressed or implied. No representative is authorised to assume for the seller any other liability in
connection with the seller’s products.
Wiring: Please ensure that a fuse is tted in the Blue Wire (Brake).
The Brake Controller has four (4) coloured wires, black, red, blue and white. The black wire is the positive voltage power
supply line. The red brake wire powers up the electronic circuit of the unit and must be connected to the cold side of the brake
light switch. The blue brake wire must be connected directly to the trailer brake wire. The white ground wire is connected to a
grounded metal part of the dash,vehicle re wall or directly to the negative battery terminal.
Important: A brake control unit that is not properly grounded may operate intermittently or not at all.
• Make sure all connections are secure.
• Do not connect the Black “BATTERY” wire to the fuse panel or tie into any accessory wiring.
Connecting to the existing wiring may damage the vehicles wiring and cause trailer brake failure.
• Do not reverse Black “BATTERY” wire and White “GROUND” connections.
Even a momentary incorrect connection can damage the brake control unit.

Set-up & Operation :
Setting the braking force:
To set the brake intensity simply press and hold the down arrow button to lower or the right up arrow button to raise the desired
braking force in 01 increments (From 15 up to a maximum of 99). On very low setting the display may read O.C. This indicates
either a very low braking force or open circuit. To check for open circuit set the control to 50 and retest brakes. If OC is still
displayed then the wiring or brake coils are open circuit.
Setting the Ramp-up Feature:
To set the ramp-up feature simply press and hold both the face buttons together. There are four levels that the user can select
(00 to 03). The 00 setting represents instant braking to your set level of braking force. The other settings enable the brakes to
ramp-up to the selected brake intensity at varying speeds.
Ramp-Up Settings.
00 No Ramp-Up
01 Fast Ramp-Up
02 Medium Ramp-Up
03 Slow Ramp-Up
By using this feature the user can
adjust the ramp-up setting to a level
better suited to his or her towing
conditions. When the vehicle brake is
applied the trailer brakes will gradually
increase in braking force up to the set
level of intensity.
Fault Indication.
OC Either Low Brake Force or Open Circuit,
check for disconnected wires or faulty
brake coils.
OL Overload, reduce load or check for short
circuit on output.
