SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Please read the Safety Precautions before installing or using the TrailSafe or TrailSafe+. Be sure to observe all precautions without fail. Failure to observe these instructions properly may result in property damage or personal injury which, depending on the circumstances, may be serious and cause loss of life. After completing installation of the TrailSafe or TrailSafe+, conduct a trial operation to check for faults.
There are two available models in the TrailSafe series: the TrailSafe and TrailSafe+. The TrailSafe+ includes an extra cable to integrate it with BMPRO’s SwayControl.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS It is recommended that installation of the TrailSafe or TrailSafe+ is carried out by a trained auto electrician. Using the supplied mounting screw, mount the unit on the right-hand side of the trailer’s drawbar, about 300mm from the tow ball hitch. The TrailSafe needs to be secured tightly to prevent it from vibrating loose.
TRAILSAFE WIRING INSTRUCTIONS NOTE: This section applies to the TrailSafe without the use of a SwayControl. If you are using the TrailSafe+ with the SwayControl, refer to the TrailSafe+ with SwayControl Wiring Instructions section. The TrailSafe has multiple coloured wires coming from the rear side which require connection to ensure correct functionality.

WARNING The green wire must be connected to a battery positive terminal when a LiFePO4 battery is used. Failure to do so may result in false battery capacity information. NOTE: Larger wire sizes may be used. The minimum is shown. For the black/red wire, a 30A automotive-grade fuse must be located as close to the trailer battery as possible, but not before the battery charging source feed.

It is necessary that there is at least 10Ah of useful battery capacity remaining, which may require 20% of aged 100Ah-rated battery for this load. If any loads (e.g. lights, 12V fridges) are on in the trailer, turn these off if possible. If your trailer or caravan has a display showing remaining battery capacity this should be able to provide a useful indication that there is enough battery capacity remaining for the emergency braking function.
