Wired Monitor

The wired monitor will confirm the status of the trailer battery when the

has determined that it has sufficient charge for braking and that the pull pin contacts 

are in good condition.

If the indication is other than green or no indication is shown when the brake is 
pressed or pull pin removed, the 

TrailSafeBT

 and Trailer Battery status should be 

checked for a possible fault or low state of charge.

SPECIFICATIONS

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Mounting location

Secure 

TrailSafeBT

 to the right hand side draw bar of the trailer (the driver’s side) 

approximately 300mm from the tow ball hitch. Mount horizontally on top of the draw 
bar.

Mounting method

Mount on the arm of the trailer using an M6 bolt or screw. Only one mounting point is 
required so that the unit can swivel in an emergency. Ensure that it is secured tightly 
so that it does not vibrate loose. DO NOT remove Hex Bolt from the 

TrailSafeBT

.

Mounting orientation

The wires and mounting bolt should be pointing towards the rear i.e. away from the 
tow vehicle so that the pull pin is facing towards the tow vehicle. The pull pin will 
then be pulled out freely should the vehicle and trailer separate. The other end of the 
pull pin cord is attached to the towing vehicle by a D shackle or similar.

Wiring Instructions

The 

TrailSafeBT

 has multiple coloured wires coming from the rear side which 

require connection to ensure correct functionality. As this is a safety critical system 

all wiring should be done by a suitably qualified Auto Electrician.
