BREAKSAFE SERIES 6000 AND 6000XP
Electric Brake Break-away system
The Break-Safe Break-Away system is designed to apply the trailer brakes and brake lights if the trailer or caravan is
accidentally separated from the tow vehicle. The system has a built in battery that can be charged from the tow
vehicle's auxiliary line or by a battery charger. The easy to operate test button is used to indicate the level of charge
in the battery. This should be checked before the trailer is towed. Please ensure that you select the correct model
for your requirements
Series 6000 to suit 2 and 4 wheel trailer brakes.
Series 6000XP to suit 2,4 and 6 wheel trailer brakes.
WARNING
The Break-Safe should be mounted
internally
but can be mounted externally if necessary although the Break-Safe is
not
waterproof
and should have a
rain
and
splash
cover if it is mounted externally. The mounted position of the Break-Safe
should be determined by the installer in conjunction with the vehicle owner’s preference. When mounting inside the
trailer or caravan, choose a position where air can circulate around the box. Do not position the box where articles can
be stored against it as they may activate the test button.
TEST BUTTON
Use the test button to test the condition of the built-in battery. This should be checked each time the trailer is used.
Depress the button momentarily and check the battery level lights. The test button will also energise the trailer brakes
and brake lights.
GREEN - Battery normal .
RED - Battery low (charge before use).
NO LIGHT - Battery flat, charge before use or replace bat-
tery.
CHARGING
Charging of the Break-Safe battery can be done via the tow vehicle auxiliary line (Break-Safe black wire) or by connecting
a small battery charger (8 amps maximum) to the red and black terminals on the front of the Break-Safe box. The orange
charge light next to the red terminal will illuminate when the Break-Safe battery is connected to 12 volts for charging.
The charging system in the Break-Safe unit is a trickle charge circuit only and it may take several hours for the battery to
fully recharge.
