Frequently Asked Questions
Elecbrakes offers two top-tier options: the EB2 Trailer-Mounted Brake Controller and the VM1 Vehicle-Mounted Brake Controller. Both are designed with unique benefits to cater to your specific towing needs, whether you’re using multiple vehicles or trailers.
With the EB2 mounted on your trailer, any vehicle can tow it without needing a brake controller installed. On the other hand, the VM1 is installed in your vehicle, allowing you to tow multiple trailers with a single vehicle.
The following comparison will help you understand the key differences and features between the EB2 and VM1, so you can confidently select the best brake controller for your setup – Compare Controllers.
EB2 brake controllers connect to the trailer’s existing electrical circuits utilising up to 8 amps each from the Parking/tail light and Brake light circuits to provide up to a combined 16 amp service brake output, suitable for single and dual axle electric braked trailers.
An auxiliary power circuit may be added to installations of EB2 brake controllers to allow the use of tri-axle trailers with output current up to 24A allowable in this scenario. Auxiliary power feed may also be required on some vehicles where the vehicle’s trailer wiring module outputs a variable PWM signal, rather than 12VDC output.
You must choose the appropriate Elecbrakes Adaptor based on your Tow vehicles’ trailer wiring socket and Trailer plug. The differences are in the shape and pin count.
Start by confirming the socket type fitted to the rear of the tow vehicle, then selecting the trailer plug type.
Elecbrakes provide an adaptor for each combination of commonly available plug and socket, allowing you to connect your vehicle to your new trailer, or vice versa, potentially without changing the plug or socket on your vehicle or trailer. When towing with multiple vehicles, it may be necessary to have more than 1 adaptor type on hand for installation to suit different combinations.
Some combinations will allow cross use, for example:
• Vehicles equipped with a 12 pin flat socket can accept a 12 pin flat or a 7 pin flat adaptor/trailer plug. However, vehicles equipped with a 7 pin flat socket will not accept a 12 pin adaptor/trailer plug.
Elecbrakes brake controllers are suitable for all trailers equipped with Electromagnetic brakes up to 4500 kg GTM, this includes but not limited to: Box/Goods trailers, Caravans and Campers, Car carrying & Flat top, Horse floats and more.
- For EB2 when powered via brake and tail light circuits only – up to 2 braked axles (16A output).
- For All Elecbrakes brake Controllers, when provided with a 12-24V DC dedicated power supply – up to 3 braked axles (24A output).
All Elecbrakes brake controllers may be installed in conjunction with electric over hydraulic brakes, so long as the hydraulic actuators’ installation requirements are met (check your hydraulic actuator installation manual for requirements).
Electric over hydraulic brakes are commonly found in use on Marine applications such as boat trailers, allowing the trailer axles to be submerged when loading/unloading.
Yes, Elecbrakes brake controllers are designed to function with 12v and 24v vehicles registered in Australia / New Zealand with respect to National standards and applicable ADR’s. This includes modern vehicles equipped with trailer wiring modules and earlier vehicles with fused circuits which are designed to meet the same national standards and ADRs for towing applications.
