Wired Monitor
The wired monitor will confirm the status of the trailer battery when the TrailSafeBT
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.
