Tekonsha Brakeman IV Time-Delay Brake Controller for 1-4 Axle Trailers, Black

The Tekonsha Brakeman IV digital trailer brake controller is designed to provide safety and connection when you need it most. As a time-based controller, the Brakeman IV is an excellent choice for basic, light-duty towing needs. This compact controller works by electronically connecting your vehicle and your trailer. When you apply the brakes in your tow vehicle, the Brakeman IV generates an output signal that ramps up, or increases over a period of time, applying braking power to your trailer at a fixed rate.

The Brakeman IV features up-front buttons that allow you to easily adjust the power output, the sync – or aggressiveness with which the controller applies the brakes, and engage manual override to help you brake safely when an unexpected stop is required. It is compatible with electric or electric over hydraulic braking systems, and it offers advanced internal circuit protection, real-time comprehensive diagnostics, and short circuit protection.

One of the key advantages of the Brakeman IV is its time-based design, which means there is no requirement for it to be positioned in the direction of travel. You can install the controller anywhere within reach of the driver, making it a versatile option. Additionally, the Plug & Play feature allows for quick and easy connection to your vehicle's wiring.

The Brakeman IV is designed to work with 1-4 axle trailers and comes with all the mounting hardware needed for installation. It is backed by a limited lifetime warranty, providing peace of mind for users.

In terms of installation, the Brakeman IV's Plug & Play port makes it easy to set up. As a time-based controller with a compact design, the unit can be installed above or below the dash, in any direction, as long as it is within reach of the driver.

The digital display on the Brakeman IV provides clear information, including settings, real-time comprehensive diagnostics, and short circuit protection. A red light indicates an increase in power to the trailer brakes, while a green light signifies a secure connection with the trailer.

If you ever need to manually apply the brakes, the Brakeman IV makes it simple. Just move the manual control lever to the left, and the controller will apply power to your trailer's brakes up to the amount of power previously set.

The Brakeman IV digital brake controller is compatible with a wide range of vehicles, including Ford, GM, Chevy, Dodge, RAM, Toyota, Jeep, and more, with 2, 4, 6, and 8 brakes (1-4 axles). For a seamless installation, a vehicle-specific Tekonsha Plug & Play brake controller wiring harness can be purchased separately.
