You have probably seen other portable brake controller units and thought what is the difference between ours and theirs?

• Timed Vs Proportional: A timed brake controller is very simple in function and offers a braking system which operates through a timed signal being sent when the brakes are pressed. On the other hand, proportional units utilise an accelerometer which detects the movement of the vehicle and applies appropriate signalling resulting in a much smoother braking experience
• Get Setup in 5 Minutes
• Plug into your cigarette lighter socket and plug in the trailer adapters, calibrate the brakes and you’re good to go!
• In less than 5 minutes, you have a Plug and Play setup ready to take you on adventures.
• Our Guardian IQ Portable Electric Brake Controller Units are PROPORTIONAL, which ensures a smooth and safe braking experience.
  Competing products use cheap TIMED brake controllers which are often unsafe and lock up the brake occasionally and do not provide the same smooth braking.

If you have a company car and are not allowed to permanently install any device. This setup is the most affordable option and is perfect for single car use. The mounting cradle can be mounted using 3M or similar adhesive which will not leave any marks on your interior and the brake unit can be removed from the vehicle with ease.

If sometimes you use 2 different vehicles to tow a caravan or trailer. This setup would still be a great option here as it’s the most affordable option and is supplied with two different mounting cradles. You could quite easily mount each cradle in your two vehicles and switch the brake unit between each as required.

We have been asked are portable brake controller systems legal, yes, the Australian Law regarding towing a trailer states the following:

A trailer with a GMV of between 2000kg-4500kg must have brakes on all axles. (Most caravans will have electric brakes on all axles) The trailer braking can be progressively increased and decreased by means of a control signal from the tow vehicle. That the trailer brakes can be applied from the drivers seated position. That the in-cab controller has a brake over-ride device. All of our portable kits comply to these standards.

Instruction manual

Hayman Reese Guardian IQ

The Guardian® IQ is a fully proportional trailer braking system delivering power to the trailer brakes in direct ratio to the actual physical deceleration of the tow vehicle. The unit also works proportionally in reverse for backing into tight spots. Equipped with three level “Boost” functionality, Guardian® IQ allows you to incrementally increase the sensitivity of the brake control’s inertial sensor further enhancing the participation of trailer brakes during a brake event.

 Securely mount the brake controller as per manufactures instructions Mounting any objects under or around dash area may interfere with airbag deployment – check with vehicle manufacturer for safety advice if this is being considered

• 2. Connect the 4 wire plug to the back of the Guardian IQ brake unit.
• 3. Connect the cigarette power plug to the vehicles 12v socket.
• 4. Run the 6m length of cable from the brake unit to the rear of the vehicle feeding the cable through a safe path.
• 5. Drop the lead out of the boot lid, tailgate or rear door
  Caution, do not pinch or damage the cable during this process.
• 6. Connect the trailer plug to the vehicle & connect the trailer to the other plug
• 7. Turn on vehicles ignition and follow the Guardian IQ instructions manual to set the power setting to 5.0 by holding the manual override fully to the left & rotate the power knob.
• Test brakes at a standstill position by applying the manual override while a secondary person listens to the trailer wheels to ensure the electronic brake magnets are operating. You should hear a buzzing noise coming from the trailer wheel hubs as brake power is applied.
• To test braking level is suitable for your towing weight drive the tow vehicle and trailer on a dry level & solid surface at roughly 40kph and fully apply the manual override.
• – If the brakes lock up, turn the adjustment control to a lower setting
• – If the braking was not sufficient, turn the adjustment control to a higher setting
  Repeat the tow brake test until the adjustment control is set at a point just below trailer wheel lock up.

**** Note always make sure when using the Portable electric brake controller that there are no other accessories running off the same accessory socket, this will impair the brake controller’s efficiency and may reduce the overall braking force applied to the trailer that is being towed.

If towing a dual axle trailer it is recommended that you use a 15Amp 12V accessory socket as your accessory plug-in point as a MOST standard vehicle accessory points are rated at 10Amp and this will not allow you to brake at 100% braking force with more than a single axle braking system. If you do not follow this guide, you risk blowing fuses and causing other electrical faults. ****
