Break-Away Specifications
A breakaway system is essentially an emergency braking system that is separate from the primary braking system. It is designed to activate in the event of a catastrophic brake failure.
N.B. Brake-away systems are mandatory for all trailers/caravans over 2000kg ATM.
Installing Breakaway Battery Magnetic Monitor.
- Connect the battery indicator cable directly to the breakaway battery, insert the 10 amp fuse inline and close to the battery.
- If the battery indicator flashes RED, only the breakaway battery is low on amp hour.
- If the Battery indicator does not illuminate, recharge or replace the breakaway battery.
- The battery indicator will switch off when the battery is lower than 11 to 9 volts.
- The battery indicator draws low milliamps and will continually pulsate different flashing colours on a battery for 12 months.
- Recharge the battery using a battery charger if the breakaway battery is flat.

Your breakaway battery will require replacement when you cannot get a green light on your control panel.
In Australia, the test button must indicate:
- Full Battery Power is Available.
- Battery Charging.
- Battery flat
