Tekonsha Brakeman IV Time-Delay Brake Controller for Trailers (1-4 Axles)
Category: primus brake controller
The Tekonsha Brakeman IV digital trailer brake controller is designed to enhance safety and connectivity, particularly during crucial moments. As a time-based controller, it perfectly suits basic, light-duty towing requirements. This compact unit electronically links your vehicle to your trailer, ensuring responsiveness. When you apply the brakes in your tow vehicle, the controller generates an output signal that gradually ramps up over time, delivering braking power to the trailer at a steady rate.
Featuring conveniently located buttons at the front, the Brakeman IV allows for straightforward adjustments to the power output and sync settings, which dictate the controller's braking aggressiveness. Additionally, it includes a manual override function, enabling you to brake safely in the event of an unexpected stop.
Compatibility is key, as the Brakeman IV works seamlessly with both electric and electric-over-hydraulic braking systems. It boasts advanced internal circuit protection, real-time diagnostics, and safeguards against short circuits. As a time-based controller, it allows for flexible installation; it doesn’t have to be positioned in the direction of travel, making it possible to place it anywhere accessible to the driver. The user-friendly Plug & Play feature ensures a swift and hassle-free connection to your vehicle’s wiring.
Suitable for 1-4 axle trailers, the Brakeman IV comes with all necessary mounting hardware for installation and is supported by a limited lifetime warranty.
TIME-DELAYED DIGITAL BRAKE CONTROLLER: One of the key advantages of the Tekonsha Brakeman IV is its ability to apply braking power gradually over a period of time, making it ideal for basic light-duty towing needs.
EASY INSTALLATION: The Brakeman IV is equipped with a Plug & Play port that simplifies the installation process. Its compact design as a time-based controller allows for versatility; it can be installed either above or below the dashboard and in any orientation, as long as it remains within the driver's reach.
USER-FRIENDLY INDICATOR: The digital display provides easy visibility of settings, offers real-time diagnostics, and includes short circuit protection features. A red light indicates increased power to the trailer brakes, while a green light signifies a secure connection with the trailer.
MANUAL BRAKING OPTION: For situations that require manual braking, you can easily pivot the control lever to the left. The Brakeman IV will activate the trailer brakes up to the previously set power level, granting you greater control.
