12
Caravan/Trailer Battery
The caravan/trailer must be equipped with a 12V battery system of greater or
equal to 50Ahr. A full size caravan/trailer battery must be used.
Ground Connections
The caravan/trailer battery ground, the SwayControl ground and the electric
brake ground wires must all be securely connected a 1.8 mm (minimum) wire in
order for the SwayControl to function properly.
These must be all fully grounded to a common point on the caravan/trailer.
Ensure the metal chassis connection is clean bare metal.
12V Connections
The tow vehicle 12V charge line, the 12V caravan/trailer battery terminal and
the SwayControl 12V (black wire) must be securely connected together with a
1.8 mm (minimum) wire in order for the SwayControl to function properly. The
“hot” wire from the breakaway switch must be connected to the +12V terminal of
the caravan/trailer battery.
Ensure the positive line from the battery has a 30A fuse installed. All battery
positive connections must be fused with a 30A inline fuse separately and
independent of each other.
Electric Brake (Blue Wire) Connections
The tow vehicle brake signal (BLUE) wire must be securely connected to the
SwayControl brake signal (BLUE) wire. The brake signal wire must be cut when
connected to the SwayControl.
Left and Right Side Brake Wires
The SwayControl operates the left and right side caravan/trailer brakes
independently in order to control caravan/trailer sway. It is very important the
correct SwayControl wires are connected to the correct side of the brakes.
The SwayControl PURPLE wire must be connected to all left side brakes.
The SwayControl PINK wire must be connected to all right side brakes.
Failure to properly connect these wires will prevent the SwayControl from
controlling caravan/trailer sway.
Remove any old brake wires. Only use the new wire from the SwayControl.
WARNING
If old brake wires are not removed, the SwayControl may not work as intended.
