Components required to install a Tow-Pro Elite into a 24V vehicle

Electric/hydraulic brake systems need both a brake controller signal and a separate 12V power supply to the hydraulic pump. 

 

On 12V vehicles, the Tow-Pro Elite can operate these systems without extra components. On 24V vehicles, while electric/magnet brakes work directly, electric/hydraulic systems may require a REDARC EB24A adaptor. 

 

The EB24A converts the 24V brake signal to 12V, enables the Tow-Pro Elite override to control 24V brake lights, and provides charge equalisation so 12V can be supplied safely from a 24V battery bank.

 

REDARC recommends seeking the support of a qualified auto electrician or technician.

Electric/Hydraulic brake systems require signal from the brake controller as well as a separate power supply from the start battery to the hydraulic pump (usually via an Anderson plug).

A 12V vehicle fitted with a Tow-Pro Elite would not require extra components to operate an Electric/Hydraulic trailer.

A 24V vehicle fitted with a Tow-Pro Elite towing a trailer with Electric/Magnet type brakes will not need extra components however an Electric/Hydraulic braking system would require extra components.

Some Electric/Hydraulic braking systems can be sensitive depending on what electronics are within the hydraulic pump system. This means they may require a 12V input on the Red and Black wire of the Tow-Pro™ Elite, to prevent damage to these electronics. The 12V input on the Red and Black wires can be supplied using a REDARC EB24A

About the EB24A

• Converts a 24 volt brake signal to a 12V signal for the Tow-Pro Elite (Red wire)
• Allows the Tow-Pro™ Elite override button to switch on 24 volt brake lights
• Provides charge equalisation of the supply batteries so 12V can be supplied from the 24V battery bank
